Don’t confuse being in your sweet spot with being in your comfort zone. Because when you’re in your sweet spot, there’s nothing comfortable about it! I know this is a little confusing, and definitely counterintuitive. When I’m in my sweet spot, doing what God has called me to do, God stretches me relentlessly. But I find that He’s challenging me to activate gifts that He’s already put inside of me. I just didn’t know they were there. If you want to find your sweet spot, you’ll have to journey past the perimeter of your comfort zone.
Steven Furtick is a great writer! He will also do a custom lead in, addressed to you as pastor, on his “One Prayer” sermon if you would like to use his in your church. Very generous of you, Steven. Email your request to Lshea@elevationchurch.org by 4:00pm Thursday, May 15, 2008.
