Sermon Series Blog: MORE Than Enough Pt. 3
This Week: MORE Than Enough
Today, we explore the theme of MORE Than Enough, rooted in the Hebrew name for God, El Shaddai—the God who is MORE Than Enough. Let that sink in! He is our provider, healer, refuge, and strength.
Point 1: MORE Than Enough—Inwardly
Let’s start by reflecting on what it means to be enough inwardly. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 reminds us:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Too often, we let our circumstances define our worth. We think we need validation from others to feel enough. But the truth is, our value doesn’t come from worldly standards; it comes from God. When we say, “I am enough because He is,” we are recognizing that it’s not about having it all together. It’s about acknowledging our weaknesses and allowing His strength to shine through us.
If you find yourself in a difficult season, remember Isaiah 41:10: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.” Even in our struggles, we can delight in our weaknesses because El Shaddai is able!
Point 2: MORE Than Enough—Outwardly
Now, let’s extend this principle outwardly. Your bank account may look insufficient, but remember, your Father in Heaven is rich. Maybe you’re worried about groceries, but somehow the right sales show up just in time.
Psalm 46:1 declares,
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
This is not just about meeting our physical needs; it’s about trusting in God’s provision during difficult times.
You see, when we face challenges, it’s often our human instinct to react in frustration or anger. But God calls us to respond with prayer, love, and grace. It’s about letting Christ’s love flow through us, even to those who may seem hard to love.
Generosity isn’t just financial; it’s about sharing our time, knowledge, and hospitality. When we embody generosity, we’re connecting our lives to the work of the Kingdom.
Point 3: MORE Than Enough—Spiritually
Finally, let’s explore how God blesses us spiritually. Ephesians 1 tells us that God’s great power works for those who believe. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives within us!
When we give God our little—like the boy with two fish and five loaves—He multiplies it into more than enough. Our “not enough” becomes sufficient in His hands.
Where is God calling you to step out in faith? Are you ready to give what little you have, trusting that He can multiply it? Perhaps it’s a conversation with a friend in need, sharing hope with someone struggling.
Don’t let your R-List—the rationalizations that hold you back—stop you. God wants us to be faithful, to trust in His strength despite our imperfections.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
As we close, let’s reflect on what it means to embrace the God who is more than enough. He fills our gaps, meets our needs, and empowers us to reach out to others.
With all eyes closed, let’s pray. I invite you to bring your needs before God. Let’s trust that He will meet us where we are, pouring out His miraculous provision and healing in our lives and community.
Let’s ask for more of Him—more miracles, more healings, more people coming to know Him as King! Together, let’s be vessels of His abundance, embodying the hope and love of Christ in our world.
