Main Idea

The central theme of 'It Starts By Showing Up' was about the transformative power of being present and obedient to God's calling, regardless of how qualified or ready we feel. Pastor emphasized that God values our hearts over our appearances and that our development often happens in unexpected places. By showing up, trusting God, and remaining humble, we can shift into the roles God has designed for us, ultimately allowing Him to direct our lives for greater impact.

Scripture References

1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Samuel 16:11-12, Ephesians 4:1, Romans 8:28

How can showing up in places where we feel unqualified change our perspective on God's calling?

You might think God is looking for the 'all ready,' but He's actually searching for the 'not yet.'

In what ways can we practice trusting God's plan, even when it's not clear to us?

Discussion Questions:

Why is it important to remain where God has placed us, and how can we stay committed?

Discuss a time when you experienced personal growth in an unexpected place or situation.

How can we shift our focus from our own plans to fitting into God's greater purpose for our lives?

The shift requires humility because you get developed in barren fields, not battlefields.

Summary

In the sermon 'It Starts By Showing Up,' Pastor shared with us the importance of showing up to places we don't feel qualified for, trusting God's plan even when it's unclear, and staying committed to where God has placed us. We were reminded that God doesn't look at our outward appearance but at our hearts, as illustrated in 1 Samuel 16:7. Pastor encouraged us to embrace forgiveness, faith, and humility to see beyond our current circumstances and to recognize the purpose God has for us.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Shift your life by deciding to let God be first in every area of your life.

Consider how your life could have more impact by being a piece in God's puzzle rather than trying to paint your own picture.
