Sermon Highlights:
I am magnificent!
More important than what I have is who I am. God’s first priority is who I am.
Talent vs Character: God focuses on character first NOT talent.
Talent: what I have, what I can do, how I look. All of us are talented, gifted, skilled. Talent will get me in the door, character will keep me in the room.
Character: who I am when no one is looking. God wants me to have character, be holy, be righteous.
I am the glory of God!
PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: Gracious and Giving God, thank you for this moment. Thank you for everything you have created for your glory. We are grateful for every talent, skill and ability you have gifted us with, so we can be a blessing to others. Help us to fully mature into people of character who represent you in all your glory. Continue to bless Pastor Therman Evans as he speaks words to live by, for such a time as this. Lord we lift your name high, high above our worries, high above any problems we are experiencing. We love you God, and give your name all the honor and all the praise. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.

Sermon Highlights:
1) Resolution

3) God got started! Get started! Say something!
4) God took one step, one thing, one day at a time.
5) God made & defined God’s own reality. Those who define are masters. Never let others define who I am, they’re just guessing & messing.
Let there be light! Anything that’s good ought to start with Jesus.
