Someone is going to do the thing you want to do. It might as well be you—Shea Serrano

Arrogance = Our Pride + Our Ignorance
Confidence = God’s Competence + God’s Confidence

Visible Image of the Invisible God

Supreme over creation

Creative-Created Everything

Head over the Church

God lived in Him

More literally translated “Good” vs “Complete/Perfect”

He doesn’t let you cook dinner if he thinks you’ll burn the house down.

He could have created everyone through dust and bones. But he chose to create life through marriage and families.

Move Away from Resolutions and Goals and move toward “Calling”

Moses knew his calling because the burning bush told him

David knew his calling because he was anointed by Samuel

Paul knew his calling from an encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus.

You know that thing. That idea in your head? Or that dream you have? But you don’t entertain or tell people about it because it’s too outlandish.

Because no one wants to read what I have to write…

That not a “real” business idea…

You don’t have the time to go back to school

You don’t know enough Bible to LEAD the study…

When Jesus drives, he drives out demons and people out of the temple.

But he leads by still, quiet waters. When he leads you follow.

Be a person who is merciful, kind, humble, gentle, patience, loving, thankful, forgiving, who worships as a representative of Jesus.

You were made with the competence and confidence of the Almighty God.

If it’s your idea, your carry the burden. But if it’s your calling—his burden is easy and his yoke is light. In other words, “If God orders the food, he pays the bill.”

God is going use someone to rescue his people.

He is going to use someone to kill Goliath.

He is going to use someone to write a book that brings people to him.

He is going to use someone to lead a small group of 8 kids that creates ripple effects in the lives of hundreds, if not thousands.

He is going to use someone to accomplish his will—Might as well be you.
