In this July series, Pastor Steven challenged us with the question: Can one person make a difference in the world? The answer was: Yes! We were further challenged with the question: Will YOU be that person?

PART I - THE CRISIS:

With every legend story, there is always a CRISIS that the hero must face. In each of our lives, we must face the crisis. The crisis is what defines the character and integrity of the legend.

The top three crises of Singlehood are:  Isolation, Selfishness, and Purity. As singles, we must overcome these crises by guarding our hearts with the word of God and not guarding our hearts with our own human experiences. We must learn to trust in God completely and recognize that he will perfect all things concerning his children. This includes our purpose and our relationships. Finally, we must presevere. We must stay in the trial, if we desire God’s great purpose for our life.

PART II - THE SACRIFICE:

In every legend’s life there is also a time for SACRIFICE. The life of the legend is a life consumed with laying down his or her life and picking up their cross. That cross is the  sacrifice of living not for yourself but living your life so that through you others are drawn out darkness to the light.  A legend must also be a person who is totally committed and a person who keeps their word. If we cannot make a commitment in the small areas of our life, we will not be able to make a commitment in the large areas of our life. Someone once said that it is easier to die for God than it is to die to Him.

Therefore, we must make a personal commitment to dying daily and realize that our life is not our own because we belong to God.
