God’s calling isn’t just about where you go — it’s about who you become.

Moses went from wanderer to world changer by crossing the threshold in front of him.

Which threshold is in front of you?
Identity — Who am I?
Clarity — What’s my next faithful step?
Capability — What’s in my hand?
Community — Who will I do this with?
Surrender — Will I trust God?

Sermon Series: Oh! The Places You'll Go!
Scripture: Exodus 2:11-15
Sermon: Crossing the Threshold
Preacher: J.C. Fowler

Have you ever felt stuck between inspiration and action? We all face threshold moments inviting us into deeper purpose. Journey to Midian with Moses to explore five crucial thresholds—identity, clarity, capability, community, and surrender. Moving from wanderer to world changer requires discovering how embracing God's love and taking the next faithful step transforms everything. Step across your threshold and fully embrace the calling He has prepared.

FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Spend some time examining the spiritual thresholds in your life by first reflecting on your core identity. Ask yourself if you are letting doubts define you, or if you are securely resting in God's love as His child. Next, rather than becoming overwhelmed by the need to have a complete plan, determine the single next faithful step He is asking you to take. Finally, consider your community and identify the people you are inviting to share in this journey, remembering that God never calls us to carry out His mission alone.

What we give our hearts to will always shape our relationships.

Sometimes the greatest threat to love isn’t one big moment — it’s the slow drift toward other priorities, distractions, or addictions that quietly take first place.

Real love - Agape love - calls us back.
Back to intentionality.
Back to sacrifice.
Back to choosing the people we promised to love.

05/12/2026

God is crazy in love with you! He is nuts about you.
Not the future version of you. Not the cleaned-up version of you.
You. Right now.

God’s love isn’t based on your performance.
It’s based on His promise.
