Text to read: 2 Samuel 23:13-17 NLT
Main Points:
Following Jesus often calls for personal sacrifice.
Hebrews 11:33-40 NLT
From your human perspective, sacrifice is the enemy.
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross stripped death of its power and opened the way for you to find an eternal purpose.
In the grand scheme of God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will, eternal gain infinitely offsets earthly pain.
Revelation 21:1-4 NLT
Action Step:
Put eternal reward above earthly comforts: ask the Holy Spirit if there is something you need to sacrifice that is holding you back from Christ’s eternal purpose for you.

Text to Read: 2 Samuel 23:9-10 NIV
The Main Points:
God can use you to accomplish big things in his kingdom.
You probably don’t have what it takes to accomplish the dream he’s given you right now.
But God’s given you an amazing capacity for growth when you practice daily discipline.
And Jesus does what you cannot.
When we faithfully practice obedient, daily discipline, we’ll be amazed at how God shows up.
Action Steps:
Keep learning till God gives you a dream: Get into God’s Word and God’s dream will get into you.
Practice obedient, daily discipline in preparation for facing the lion.

Watch the whole message:
The main points:
We don’t die when our hearts stop beating. We die when our hearts top skipping a beat in pursuit of God and the dream he’s given us, when our hearts stop breaking for the things that break the heart of God.
When you pursue a dream you’re passionate about you’ll see it through.
See Jeremiah 20:9 NLT
Your ultimate source of passion comes as a response to the passion of Jesus Christ.
See Philippians 3:7-8 NLT
See Matthew 6:21 NIV
Action Step:
Spend time reflecting on the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice for your life until you rediscover your passion for Christ.
