Hickory Valley Community Church
Mighty Mountains
What is the mountain you face today? For some of you it is problem-people. For others it is crushed dreams. Still, others it is the loneliness and isolation of daily life. However, when we are empowered by the Holy Spirit, we don’t curse our mountains, we bless them. Why? Because that mountain is going to make you into the man or the woman that God has destined you to become. Join us this Sunday as we look at an encouraging word from Scriptures and address our "Mighty Mountains".

But at some point, you have to stop talking to God about your problems and start talking to your problems about God. You need to start preaching the promises of God to your problems.
Faith is focus. You can focus on your problems or you can focus on the promises of God. One way or the other, your focus is going to determine your reality.
George Bernard Shaw said that the “reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
If we tolerate excuses, we will simply re-create opportunity for more excuses. Whatever you tolerate, you will see more of.
God is not great because nothing is too big; God is great because nothing is too small. He rejoices over those small acts of kindness, over those small acts of obedience. He rejoices over those small steps of faith, those small sacrifices. And He doesn’t just rejoice over them, he honors them.
You may start small...but you cannot finish what you do not start.
