Greater Things: Dream Big, Do More.Sample

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Think about some promises you’ve made or had made to you. How many of them have been broken?

We all make promises we sometimes can’t keep. But there’s one person whose promises we can always believe in, and He made a pretty big one in John 14:12.

Before returning to heaven, Jesus said His followers would do “even greater things” than He did — and this was after He had turned water into wine, healed the sick and disabled, resurrected the dead, and so much more. Talk about setting the bar sky-high.

You might be thinking, “Yeah, sure,” or “Who, me?” But the thing is, God always keeps His word (Psalm 145:13b). If He says you’ll do great things, you will… just maybe not always in the ways you expect.

Every follower of Jesus — not just the ones who are rich, popular, make straight As, or have perfect families — has been called by God to be more. So, let’s jump headfirst into that promise, not just hoping it’s true, but expecting and believing it is!

Ask yourself: What does “even greater” look like for me? How can I believe God will work in and through my life in extraordinary ways even when I feel ordinary?
