We limit God.- Our faith must extend beyond death... He goes beyond hopelessness- When you’ve given up on a situation, you've given up on God- Your marriage, ministry, lost children, conscience... not dead.- If you can believe, all things are possible- Faith is not a feeling, but an acknowledgement that what He said is true and will come to pass

Notes:- God is not an equation, cannot be figured out, does things differently with every person- There are many lanes on the narrow road- Our plans are inferior to God’s plans for us- We live with chronic impatience for things to happen- Farmers plant seed then wait patiently; there is a process- We try to pick green fruit, to force people into the kingdom of God- Boston Terriers: intense, anything startles and they fight each other- In the body of Christ we fight because we’re impatient and tense- God is in control and does everything right on time- Christians love to debate scripture/theology- Prophets in scripture didn’t ask to be; now people after money declare themselves prophets and apostles- Prophets sometimes despised their mission, felt forsaken by God- Job remained faithful, God’s Spirit wouldn’t let him give up
