Make Room - Decatur Camapus

Isaiah 54:2-3a (NIV)
Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left;

1. Make Room in Your Heart

  • Before God stretches the house, He stretches our hearts.
  • Growth means welcoming people who may not think, act, or look like us.
  • Ask God: "Where does my heart need to stretch to make room for what You want to do?"

Matthew 9:17 (NLT)
No one pours new wine into old wineskins...

  • New wine needs new wineskins — to receive new people, God has to stretch our hearts.

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

2. Make Room in Your Hands

  • Serving prepares the house for the harvest.
  • Every gift matters — we all have a part to play.
  • Ask God: “Where do You want my hands in this next season?"

Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

3. Make Room in Your Faith

  • Expectation sets the atmosphere for God to move.
  • God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine — but we need to prepare for what we’re praying for.
  • Ask God: “How are You stretching my faith right now?”
