7-7-24 Setlist: You've Already Won More Than Able Blessed Assurance Gratitude Sermon Notes: Key Verse: My heart has heard you say, "Come and talk with me." And my heart responds, "Lord, I am coming." Psalm 27:8 (NLT) “How far we go and how much we grow is not just determined by what we think about God, it is also impacted by what we think about ourselves.” "If the enemy can’t change what you believe about God, his next step is to change what you believe about you.” Key Passage: One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.” Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!” Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up his sleeping mat and began walking! But this miracle happened on the Sabbath, John 5:5-9 “If Jesus tells you that it is your time to get up, then whatever has been holding you has to let go.” In order to get up he had to get over… 1. Discouragement from disappointments. “Sometimes the enemy’s goal is not to take you out but to simply wear you down.” In order to get up he had to get over… 2. Absence of assistance. In order to get up he had to get over… 3. Misery of missed moments. “The only way to overcome a troublesome past is to make a decision to create an amazing future.” Discussion Questions 1.
