Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene
We can look at our lives, our circumstances in two ways: that we have enough or that we don't. But Christ has promised that our fulfillment, our hope, is found completely in Him. He is always enough! Thanks for joining us this morning as we begin our new series, "Enough is Enough."
The question this series asks, “Is God enough?”
-Our nation has gone through a prolonged season of grief, anxiety, and uncertainty
-We struggle to even know what the word “enough” means when our normal reality is nothing but excess
Two competing worldviews:
1. Abundance worldview
-There is rest, beauty, creativity- there is enough
-The economic system based on receiving and giving
2. Scarcity worldview
-There is fear, isolation, competition and not enough
-The economic system based on production and acquisition
2 Peter 1:3-4 NIV
-When you began walking in Christ, God’s power did something...that power ACTED.
-You have what you need to do what God desires, to be who He has called you to be, to fulfill His calling, to live a life that pleases Him
-Peter emphatically states “His power at work in you is ENOUGH”
Philippians 4:19 NIV
The question that drives this series:
Do you believe God is enough for you? 100% enough? No matter your doubts and fears?
We struggle to believe God is enough, because we struggle to truly grasp an infinite God
-His love is unending
-His grace is unending
-His forgiveness is unending
The bottom line:
Nothing limits God, except us.
