Always on the Edge Matthew 17:14-20

Always on the Edge The edge can be a scary place to live. An edge says that you are close to having something change. The thing is--you can’t stay on the edge for very long. You will go one way or the other. This is true in our Christian walk. We are always living on the edge, and must decide which way we are going to go.

Always on the Edge THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMMON AND THE GREAT Some people seem to have greatness written all over them. Others work hard and don’t get anywhere. What’s the difference? Let me suggest that the difference is: a mustard seed full of faith.

Always on the Edge WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Do we make excuses? Do we rationalize? Do we get confused?

Always on the Edge ON TO GREATNESS! You have the power to change (Phil. 4:13). The power works within you (Eph. 3:20,21). With faith, nothing is impossible (Mt. 17:20).

Always on the Edge ON TO GREATNESS! A 3-step plan to greatness: Ask God. Test God. Trust God.

Always on the Edge Are you living on the edge--not knowing what to do with your life? A mustard seed full of faith is all you need to do all things. Get off the edge and live for Jesus!
