God's Not Done With You | Keep Talking

In this message, Pastor Todd and bestselling author, Chris Norton, shared how sometimes the road you would never choose can build the faith you’ve always wanted. Chris is a former college football player who suffered a severe spinal cord injury but defied the odds to give hope to millions. Use this guide to keep talking about Sunday’s sermon. 

SERMON HIGHLIGHTS

• If we learn how to deal with doubt before it takes us out, it can deepen our faith. 
• What if the setback is actually a setup for you to step into your calling? 
• Doubt screams loudest when life doesn’t go according to plan. 
• Our lowest moments and shattered plans are invitations to be part of a greater story. 
• The enemy is like a photographer who only takes pictures of your worst moments. But God isn’t a photographer — He’s an author, which means He’s always writing a better story for us. 
• God’s not done with you!

KEY SCRIPTURES

• Judges 6:13

START TALKING 

• This Sunday, we got to hear a powerful testimony from Chris Norton. What was your biggest takeaway from Chris’ story? 
  

KEEP TALKING

• Read Judges 6:13. When have you found yourself asking the question Gideon asked in this verse? 
• When has desperation driven you to experience revelation? Take time to talk about what God revealed to you through your struggle. 
• Chris Norton had a nurse tell him, “You will beat this!” Who is the person in your life who champions you when you’re facing hard situations and impossible circumstances? 
• When doubt wages war, shared faith wins the battle. Who has shared their faith with you in the past?
  • Who needs to borrow your faith?
• Trusting God’s Word isn’t based on feelings or understanding — it’s a choice. Where do you need to choose to trust God this week?

KEEP IT GOING

• You’ve heard us say that in the race to the heart of the next generation, the first one there wins. And if you’re a parent, then God has already given you a head start in this race! That’s why on Saturday, March 8, we’re hosting a half-day parent conference at our Palm Beach Gardens location to help you leverage the advantage you’ve been given in the race to the heart of your kids. Tickets are $10, lunch is provided, and there will be kids programming. Sign up today!

PRAYER

Father, Thank you for writing a better story for us. When our lives don’t go according to our plans, please give us the strength and wisdom to trust in you. You’re not done with us — and so we praise you for the miracles we’ve already seen and the ones we’ve still yet to experience! Amen.
