Just Getting Started

1. CELEBRATE, BUT DON’T SETTLE

• TROPHIES WON IN THE PAST ARE EMPTY OF POTENTIAL

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…”

(John 10:10 NASB)

“…he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”

(John 14:12 NKJ)

2. STIR UP THE PIONEERING SPIRIT, NOT SUCCUMB TO A SETTLING SPIRIT

“…with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”

(2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB)

3. DON’T TURN A MILESTONE, INTO AN ETERNAL GRAVESTONE

“…let us not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.”

(Galatians 6:9 NASB)

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

(Philippians 1:6 NKJ)

“And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very

great.”

(Job 8:7 ESV)
