Pastor Tim's Thoughts

So let’s be honest--what have you let go this week for the Kingdom? I know it’s hard, but really, isn’t it harder to hold on to something ordinary when something extraordinary is right around the corner? God’s just waiting for us to surrender to Him and His will. He cannot make you let go; He will not force Himself upon you. You have to choose.

Whenever we meet God and see Jesus Christ for who He is, it is but a small thing to give up that which is valuable for God. The only thing holding you back is your unwillingness to let go.

Our church is filled with people that have let go. Their lives have been broken and poured out, much like the Mary with the alabaster jar. The Kingdom-driven church is filled with people who are willing to let go. It’s not about you and me – it’s about lives changed.

There’s no meaning in the kingdom of this world; there’s nothing in this world that’s worth holding on to. The more that we hold on to this world, the more we will miss what God has for us.

Make the sacrifice. Take the chance. Let go. The risk is worth the reward. And the reward is eternal. When we make His kingdom greater, our life becomes better.

I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of stuff that keeps me going day after day. This Sunday, come with a heart to worship because He is worthy! Come with a desire to be the type of person that ‘gets it’. He must increase and I must decrease (John 3:30).
