November, 8, 2015

In this talk, Louie Giglio addresses the setbacks that often happen within our comeback stories. He encourages us that when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we will see victory in our comeback.

Key Takeaway

Your comeback story is defined by your steadfast faith, not by the amount of setbacks you encounter along the way. To achieve the faith of the Lord’s Kingdom He calls you to trust in His plan and fix your eyes on Him.

1. Jesus is going to finish the work that he started in you regardless if you understand his plan.

There WILL be setbacks in your comeback story.

Moses faced many setbacks like striking the rock.

2. God can still use you powerfully even after you fail.

God wants you to see yourself leading His people.

No one is disqualified from the reach of the grace and mercy of God.

3. Your comeback is linked to your willingness to cut ties with the lies in your life.

Trust in God’s greater plan.

Fix your eye on Jesus.

“

“God isn’t looking for the most adequate people to fulfill the key roles in his kingdom plan on Earth, He is looking for the people who are confident in His adequacy to do what he has promised to do.”

Scripture References

1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

2This is what the ancients were commended for.

23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.

27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.

28By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.

35That day when evening came, he said to his disciples,

“Let us go over to the other side.”

36Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.

37A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.

38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves,

“Quiet! Be still!”

Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

40He said to his disciples,

“Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

41They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
