Accomplishing Your Goals

Kick off 2026 with purpose! In this sermon, we dive into Genesis 24 and the incredible example of Abraham's servant — a man who pursued a God-given goal with unwavering focus, faith, and action. Discover the 9 key principles he followed to achieve success, and how they apply to your spiritual goals this year. Abraham's trusted servant was sent on a mission: find a wife for Isaac from the homeland. He didn't just hope — he prepared, prayed, and pressed forward with expectation. What if your spiritual goals (reading the Bible daily, leading someone to Christ, growing closer to God) had the same intentionality? Key principles covered: - Expectation + Preparation — Bring the "gifts" and tools needed for success (don't just "see how it goes") - Common Sense Steps — Go where the opportunities are (schedule Bible time, church attendance, prayer meetings) - Prayer for Guidance — Ask God for speed, strength, and ideas — then act on what He brings to mind! - Urgency & Boldness — Run toward answers, even if it means stepping out awkwardly or rocking the boat of "average" - Wonder & Observation — Stay alert to God's work; document the blessings so you don't miss them - Worship & Gratitude — Bow in thanks when progress comes — it's all God! - Humility — "I being in the way, the Lord led me" — give Him the glory - Purpose & Persistence — Don't get distracted or settle midway; finish strong! - Finishing Well — "Hinder me not!" Secure the goal completely The sobering stats on "average" Christianity today are a wake-up call: belief is high, but obedience and action lag. Don't settle for average in 2026 — set spiritual goals, prepare, pray, and pursue with urgency! If you're ready to overcome average and press toward the mark (Philippians 3:13-14), this message is for you.
