Main Idea : God is too great to be given less than our best. Main Question : What does it look like to give God less than our best? A diminished view of God always leads to dishonoring worship of God. What we offer to God reveals what we believe about God. Half-hearted worship is more burdensome to God than it is to you.

Main Question: What does God want His people to know about His love? If we base God’s love on our circumstances, We will never have assurance. God’s love for His people is special. God’s love for His people is unchanging.

We must be prepared to go at a moment's notice. You can't borrow someone else's preparation Be ready to go when He comes and be faithful to serve until He does.

Main Idea: True faith isn’t about living a perfect life but trusting in a perfect God. Main Question: How can imperfect people deepen their trust in our perfect God? Just because God is silent doesn’t mean He is absent. True faith can be real and still messy at the same time. Just because you’ve fallen doesn’t mean God can’t use you again.

Main Idea: Before God uses you publicly, He first purifies you privately. Main Question : How does God purify us to be prepared to answer His call? Before revival can happen around you, repentance must happen within you. God examines private obedience before entrusting public influence. When God confirms your purification, He commissions you with a purpose.

Main Idea: God calls unlikely people and equips them with His presence to accomplish His purposes. Main Question: How can we discern and answer the call of God? When God burdens you with a cause, it’s often because He’s already been preparing you to be part of the solution. When calls you to a purpose, He sends you with His presence.
