Inside Job

Jimmy Rollins
|
March 16, 2025

Main Idea

The central theme of Jimmy Rollins' sermon 'Inside Job' was that true transformation and the fulfillment of God's promises begin within us. He stressed that we often look externally to fix our problems, but the real work needs to happen inside our hearts and minds. By examining the story of Abraham and his faith journey, He showed us that even when faced with impossible situations, it's what's inside us—our faith, our attitudes, and our willingness to trust God—that leads to blessings for ourselves and others.

Scripture References

Genesis 12:2-3

How can we start looking inward for solutions instead of blaming external circumstances?

Discussion Questions:

What steps can we take to ensure that our internal state reflects the fruit of the Spirit?

How can the story of Abraham inspire us to trust in God's promises despite our current situations?

What practical actions can we take to 'leave behind' our hurts and embrace the blessings God has for us?

It's not up to others to ensure we have peace or joy; it's up to what's going on inside us.

Summary

Jimmy Rollins delivered a powerful message Sunday where he encouraged us to look inward for change and healing. He used the story of Abraham in Genesis 12 to illustrate how, despite external circumstances, the blessings and promises of God are fulfilled through us. He emphasized that our reactions and emotions come from within, and that we can't blame others for what is inherently inside us. Pastor (insert First Name) challenged us to consider that our relationships, especially the difficult ones, are opportunities for us to reflect and grow, rather than external problems to be solved.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Reflect on the areas of your life where you've been looking for external solutions to internal issues.

Engage in relationships with a mindset of healing and purpose, rather than avoidance or resentment.
