Embracing God's Possibilities: Overcoming Fear and Unlocking Your Potential

This presentation explores how God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things by embracing His possibilities. Drawing from the story of Gideon and other biblical examples, we will discover how to overcome feelings of inadequacy and a scarcity mindset. We’ll discuss practical steps to unlock our potential, including starting small, discerning God’s calling, and stepping out in faith. Through this journey, you'll be encouraged to see yourself as God does—capable, empowered, and equipped to make a meaningful impact in the world around you.

1. People with possibilities Empowered for a Purpose

2. Cares and Concerns. YOU need to FIX this! It’s up to you with my help.

3. #1Theme: When things need to be improved in this world God looks for an available someone who is weak, foolish, and ignoble. Why? So that God’s glory might shine through them.

4. 1 Corinthians 26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

5. “Dad, I know why… “Yes daddy. God used Balaam’s donkey to tell him what God wanted. If God can use Balaam’s donkey he can use anything. Even you.”

6. Peter Druker “No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.” Knowing that God uses average human beings to do extraordinary things should comfort us and spark excitement.

7. The Church Ordinary people who, when led by an extraordinary God, do great things.

8. Often, we are led by our insecurities instead of embracing the possibilities

9. Gideon’s insecurity and scarcity Are you here?

10. “The LORD is with you, MIGHTY WARRIER!”

11. There is a Gideon in You! Action Steps: Start by doing what you can. Test it out. Step out in Faith.

12. There is Power in the Presence of God! “What you have in your hands right now is enough if you trust me. It is enough for me to do everything I want to do with you and through you.”

13. Romans 8:37 “…in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
