This is Part 13 of Pastor Chuck Bernal’s message series, “Passages That Pump Me Up”. If there were no obstacles, no limits and no regrets, what would be your greatest dream for your life and for our church? This message will help you to discover some truth from Scripture that will change your life with this message titled: "Big Dreams, Big God, Big Opportunities". Pastor Chuck discusses the importance of having a dream, a God-sized dream that will grab your heart. This messsage was delivered at LifePointe Church in Crowley, TX on Sunday, August 23, 2015

4. God can do anything,
you know—far more than you
could ever imagine or guess or
request in your wildest dreams!
(Ephesians 3:20 – The Message)

5. No eye has seen, no ear has
heard and no one’s heart has
ever dreamed of all the things

6. that God has prepared
for those who love him.
(1 Corinthians 2:9 – Complete Jerusalem Bible)

7. I came so they can have real
and eternal life, more and better
life than they ever dreamed of.
(John 10:10 – The Message)

8. Everything starts with
a dream that grabs
your heart!

9. Faith is choosing and believing
God’s dream for your life.
Nothing starts happening
in your life until you
start dreaming.

10. God gave you the ability to
dream, to create, to imagine.
Dreaming is an act of faith.
Everything you see on this
planet started as a dream.

11. Great things come from small
beginnings when God is in
them. But you’ve got to start
with a dream. The minute you
stop dreaming, you start dying.

12. What is faith? It is the confident
assurance that something we
want is going to happen. It is the
certainty that what we hope for
is waiting for us,

13. even though we cannot
see it up ahead.
(Hebrews 11:1 – Living Bible)

14. BIG DREAMS
BIG GOD
THREE QUESTIONS

15. Now glory be to God, who by his
mighty power at work within us is
able to do far more than we
would ever dare to ask or even
dream of—

16. infinitely beyond our
highest prayers, desires,
thoughts, or hopes.
(Ephesians 3:20 – Living Bible)

17. Expect great things
from God, attempt great
things for God

18. QUESTION 1:

19. What’s your biggest
dream for your life
or our church?

20. (God can do far more
than you would dare to ask
or even dream of!)

21. QUESTION 2:

22. Is your dream “man -
sized” or “God - sized”

23. ( . . . more than we would ever
dare to ask or even dream of —
infinitely beyond our highest
prayers, desires, thoughts,
or hopes.)

24. QUESTION 3:

25. Does your dream bring
honor & glory to God?

26. (Now glory be to God . . .
May he be given glory
forever and ever through
endless ages!)

27. HOW DOES GOD’S
DREAM BECOME
YOUR DREAM?

28. First, you must dare
to ask God for it!

29. We live in the bold confidence
that God hears our voices when
we ask for things that fit His plan.
And if we have no doubt that He
hears our voices,

30. we can be assured that He
moves in response to our call.
(1 John 5:14-15 – The Voice)

31. If you want God’s blessing on
your life this year, you must dare
to ask for it. You must say, “God,
what’s your dream for my life?

32. What do you want me to do?”
Then you ask yourself,
“What would I attempt for God
if I knew I couldn’t fail?”
Let that expand your vision.

33. Second, you must trust
God and His promises!

34. I am the LORD, the God of all
the peoples of the world. Is
anything too hard for me?
(Jeremiah 32:27 – New Living Translation)

35. The things that are impossible
for people to do are possible
for God to do.
(Luke 18:27 – God’s Word Translation)

36. Never let an impossible situation
intimidate you. Let it motivate you
to pray more, believe more,
trust more, experience more,
learn more, and grow more.

37. Faith always works in the realm
of the impossible. Hudson Taylor
said there are three stages to
God’s will in your life: impossible,
possible, and done.

38. Third, you must dream
BIG.

39. Ask me, and I will make the
nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth
your possession.
(Psalm 2:8 – New International Version)

40. The size of your God should
determine the size of your goal.

41. You haven’t really believed God
until you’ve attempted something
that can’t be done in the power
of the flesh.

42. If you want to know how big
your dream should be, ask
yourself two questions:

43. How much time do you have to
give to it? If it’s a dream you can
give the rest of your life to, then
you can really dream big.
