Big Dreams, Small Steps-by Jake Graham
February 20, 2023
Sermon summary:
1 Tim 2:4 God wants all people to be saved.
2 Peter 3:8–9 God doesn't want anyone to perish.
Dreams can turn into complaints; passionate ideas can turn into frustration.
Don't be obsessed with the dream, but rather with the creator. Let your dreams become what is God's dreams.
Genesis 1:27 God's dream. is for us to be a reflection of who he is (loving, gracious, patient; valued, respected, feel like you belong).
Ephesians 1:7–10 Unity under heaven and earth The kingdom is in us. We can experience peace, joy here on earth. Ask: How can I be heaven to the people I meet?
Partner with God's dream.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.
Giving is a powerful expression of worship and trust in God. Though He doesn’t need our money, our generosity reflects the posture of our hearts. We honour God by giving from our best, without strings attached, and keeping the promises we've made. Giving is to God—not to man—and it supports the church as a place of spiritual growth for our families and future generations.
We enjoyed a fantastic time of praise and worship and had a communion message by Brendan Devine (it starts at 1:11 mins). If you missed it, you can watch it on our YouTube channel and be uplifted.
