Muppets in the Balcony

From the opening worship song:  What is your story?  What is your song as you live a kingdom life?

Hebrews 11 tells of the Hall of Fame/Faith. People who:

  • Trusted God
  • Saw something that needed to be done.
  • They did something.

How does that process unfold in your faith journey?

Jeremiah 38 gives us a close up of one man that takes one trusting step. Goes to the King, rescues Jeremiah.

  • Who in your world needs to be rescued?
  • How do you take that next step and be Ebed-Melek for someone?

What often keeps us from taking that first step?

Do we have Muppets in our balcony?  

How do we handle the negative thoughts, critical comments, and spirit?

Have I given myself permission to "jump from the balcony?"

Is there a risk in taking that next step?  Read the story of Andrew in John 1:41-42

  • What role does trusting God play in taking that next step?

Peter's little brother Andrew took a chance and introduced Peter to Jesus the Messiah.  Do you have a friend that needs to hear the story of God's Grace?  

  • What's one step you can take?

Read Acts 23 to see how Paul's nephew starts a chain reaction in the world with the story of Jesus.

  • What does your next step look like to start a chain reaction in someone's life?
  • What's my next step to become the DIFFERENCE OF ONE?
