1. Sometimes God allows challenges and sometimes He brings them, but you can know He’s always aware of them.2. God uses challenges as part of His restoration process.- “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” - Psalm 139:23-243. The key to handling future challenges is to learn how to process through present ones.- “Then He went into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure and marveled. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened. - Mark 6:51-52

1. If a little bit of faith is all you have to give, then give Him what you’ve got.2. If you launch out on your own, you’ll never know what could’ve been.3. If you truly encounter Jesus, then you’ll see the real you. -“Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips.” - Isaiah 6:54. If you hear Jesus calling you to launch out with Him today, then forsake everything and follow Him.5. If God is faithful today, then you can trust He’ll be faithful tomorrow.

1. Every Christian has a spiritual legacy.2. Every Christian should leave a spiritual legacy.3. The key to leaving a spiritual legacy is spending unhurried time with God.“Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; talk of all His wondrous works!” - Psalm 105:1-24. God sees in you who He’s always destined you to be.

Pastor Chip looks at the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-24. He shows us how God loves you even if you don't want Him to, how God pursues you to restore you, and how God invites you to be restored.
