INTRODUCTION
Goals, ambitions, dreams… we all have them. Unrealistic or attainable, we all want more, better, and different at times. This is all part of our recognition of the fact that perfection is not yet part of our experience. Perfection is instead part of that eternal experience promised through our relationship with Jesus.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Matthew 19:23-26
Jesus came to give us life and life to the full. This experience of life to the full requires that we know and walk with the one who is able to make the impossible… possible. Through this amazing relationship with Jesus, we can dream about the amazing things he wants for us and walk forward trusting that what he wants for our life is attainable.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Philippians 4:11-13
What CAN’T you do with God’s strength? What CAN’T you overcome with God’s strength? Who can derail God’s plan for your life if you rely on him fully? When you simplify our experience with such simple questions, things begin to be a bit more cut and dry. Rely on God as the provider and sustainer and walk forward in his strength. Nothing else can stand in your way.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would use you to do big things for his name!
