Sermon: Do Things Differently

I was afforded an opportunity to share a sermon at my church called “Do Things Differently”. The sermon was all about how there are seasons in our lives when God makes us do an about-face, when we move away from everything we used to do in order to do something new. It’s that new way of thinking, speaking, interacting, seeing the world is totally different from the way we’re used to thinking, speaking, interacting, seeing the world.

God is about to start switching things up because God is in the pivot. The Lord is about to change some things. He’s about to cause us to do an about-face. Where you were once facing east, you’re about to face west. Your job is about to change, the way you think is about to change, your finances are about to change, your household is about to change, how God interacts with you and how you interact with God is about to change. It’s time to do things differently.

Depression is coming off of you because you’re going to do things differently. The weight is coming off because you’re going to do things differently. Joy is going to be resurrected in your spirit because you’re going to do things differently. You will be able to breathe again because you’re doing things differently.

God is calling for us to do things differently. Now is the time. Join the Lord in the pivot.was afforded an opportunity to share a sermon at my church called “Do Things Differently”.
