Now What?
Holly Furtick
Sermon Highlights
Survivors don’t have time to ask, “Why me?” For survivors, the only relevant question is, “Now what?”
The outcome of your story is determined by how you respond to the problem.
There are 4 things to consider in a “now what?” situation:
Accept the Push – God may allow things to happen in your life to get you to move.
Find a Person – Even though bad things happen to good people, God’s people know where to bring bad things.
Respond to the Pull – Miracles are often disguised as interruptions.
Get in His Presence – Your situation may be new to you, but it’s not new to God.
Peter had a flashback faith moment, and so can you.
Scriptures
Acts 9:32-42 – Tabitha raised to life
Mark 5:40-42 – Jesus raises a girl to life
Psalm 119:105 (ESV) – Your word is a lamp to my feet
