The Road to Significance
A life of significance is:
- founded in God's grace
- powered by His Holy Spirit
- follows Christ in every season of life.
Matthew 4:19
fishers = influencers
Romans 12:3

measure of faith = measure of influence
Proper Stewardship of Influence leads to Prominence.
Proper Stewardship of Prominence leads to Significance.
Am I willing to forsake my way, my truth, and my life for THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE?
Significance is not defined in material possession or acquisition
Expand
The Road to Significance is not paved with the merits of self-performance but the ability to allow God to flow through us to accomplish His Will.

Examples:
Matthew 19:16-30 - Rich Young Ruler
Luke 9:57-62 - Person unwilling to leave his home environment
God desires to make every season of your life significant
The Road to Significance (Our Response)
Expand
1. Humility
2. Selflessness
3. Trust






A tactic employed by the enemy is not to cause you to question God's power/ability (Has He already done it) but rather to question God's character concerning you (He Has Already done it for me).

God’s character is not moved when our character doesn't match His.

You're not yourself when your spirit is starving from the word of God and you feast on everything else (Social Media, TV, Texting, Netflix, Sports, Facetime) instead of the Living Word. If your Spirit is Malnourished how can you manifest Christ?
