Sermon: It Takes Sweat Equity
Text: 2 Peter 1:5 – 8
Thesis: Open The Door Of Your Opportunity.
I. Grace Isn’t Opposed To Effort, It Is Opposed To Earning.
A. Peter highlights here the importance of effort.
B. This reaching back and wanting to please God is the effort we need, and God deserves.
II. Earning Is An Attitude.
A. “Attitude is everything.”
B. Those who try to earn, think they then have rights.
III. Effort Is An Action.
A. No one earns a miracle.
B. Effort is part of the equation of having or seeing a miracle.
Conclusion: There are some important lessons to be learned about miracles from the Word. From the royal official of John 4 we learn that to experience a miracle, sometimes we’ve got to go out of our way. And sometimes that beaten path could be more than twenty miles out of town. The Good Samaritan became someone else’s miracle when he was willing to be inconvenienced. May we be willing to put for the effort to have, see and become a miracle for God’s glory.
