Review this week's message.

Key Thought:

There is an opportune time to do things.



Key Quote

“Do what you can with what you have, where you are.” - Rick Warren



Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
  • What was your dream job as a child?
  • What's your cellphone wallpaper?
  • What's an unusual skill you have?


Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
  • What has God given you that He wants you to multiply?
  • “You can have success or excuses, but you can't have both.” What excuses are you letting keep you from what God has for you?
  • What strategy do you need to fight your resistance?


Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
  • “In every disadvantage, there is a seed of an equivalent benefit.” Tell the group about a disadvantage you face in your life right now?
  • How can you use that disadvantage to your advantage?
  • How can your Lifegroup help you in this?


Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.

Jesus, thank you for the disadvantages you've given me. I know you are using them to build me into the person you want me to be! Amen.



Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
  • Pray about the action step that God has put on your heart to do. “Stand in the gap”.
  • Now DO IT!
