Greater Things...

Our Pastor preached on the following verses today...

John 14:11-14 (The Message)
"Believe me: I am in my Father and my Father is in me. If you can't believe that, believe what you see—these works. The person who trusts me will not only do what I'm doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I've been doing. You can count on it. From now on, whatever you request along the lines of who I am and what I am doing, I'll do it. That's how the Father will be seen for who he is in the Son. I mean it. Whatever you request in this way, I'll do."

He wanted to know if we believed we could do even greater things than Jesus. My initial thought was, "Of course not!" But, you know what, after I sat there and listened to what he had to say, I DO BELIEVE WE CAN DO GREAT THINGS LIKE JESUS DID.

We have the capability to do amazing things in our lifetime. Millions of lives ARE changed every year during mission trips, and national and local volunteer opportunities. What will your "greater thing" be?

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”
– Hellen Keller
