Key Takeaways from the Sermon:
Covered by Love: "We love because He first loved us." Like the Prodigal Son, God runs toward us, covering us with His grace and love.
Running with Purpose: We are called to "run in such a way as to get the prize," even if we don't win every time. It's not about the results but the reason behind our race.
Run at Your Pace: God has a unique path for each of us. Don't compare your race to others—focus on the journey God has set before you.
Faith in Action: "Do it from a place of passion, not performance." Whether you're confident or confused, God honors the effort you make from the heart. Be the one who runs toward challenges, not away from them. Take risks in faith, even if you're stepping out in doubt.
God’s Timing and Provision: "Jesus said, you don’t understand what I do for you now, but you will later." Trust God's timing, even when it doesn’t make sense now. God often sends help in unexpected forms. Be open to receiving the unfamiliar, as it might be the answer to your prayers.
Overcoming Fear and Doubt: Fear is like a deer—small compared to the power God has given you. The enemy hopes you'll stay trapped in fear, but God’s strength in you is greater than your doubts and insecurities. "Every king will have caves." Don't let your current situation define your identity. God anointed you for a purpose, even in the hardest times.
Praise in the Place You Are: "Don’t waste your cave—learn from the territory." Even in difficult situations, praise God and trust that He is preparing you for greater things. You are anointed and covered, no matter who acknowledges it. God sees your consistency and strength, and He is using you for His glory.
