Limitless Faith

This Sunday, the message was both personal and powerful. Elder Sanders took the pulpit with humility, reminding us to "Take The Limits Off", look inward, examine our hearts, and remove the barriers we’ve placed between ourselves and what God desires to do through us.

Be Yourself — Everyone Else Is Taken

God doesn’t need a copy of anyone else—He needs you. This truth echoed through the sanctuary. We limit God when we try to be someone else. When we’re authentic, we create space for His anointing to flow through us in the way God designed. You are a masterpiece, created with specific intentions and characteristics.

Love the Lord with All Your Heart

Drawing from Mark 12:30, Elder Sanders explained that taking the limits off starts with love. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” That means our thoughts, emotions, and desires must align with His will. Loving God isn’t passive—it’s passionate. He reminded us of the phrase we’ve all heard: “When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all He’s done for me, my soul cries out, Hallelujah!”  True love for God carries passion and gratitude. It doesn’t whisper “thank you”—it shouts it with joy.

When God Blocks Your Plans

How often do we get discouraged when something we desire doesn’t work out? Yet sometimes God says no because His yes is waiting in a different place. A heart that truly loves God trusts that He sees what we can’t. Don’t get discouraged when God blocks something you have a heart for—it may be the very thing keeping you aligned with His will.

Patience is a sign of obedience. Trusting God’s timing isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. Those who truly love the Lord will practice gratitude in all circumstances. We should give God praise even in negative times, because you never know what He’s keeping you from.

Stop Comparing—Start Serving

Comparison is a silent limiter. It quietly steals joy, confidence, and focus by convincing us that someone else’s lane is better than our own. Elder Sanders reminded us that God never asked us to compete—He asked us to serve. The moment we start measuring our worth against someone else’s calling, we begin shrinking the space where God wants to move.

Whether it’s baking, teaching, organizing, writing, or creating—don’t hold back your gifts. Offer them to God freely. Every act of service done in love becomes a form of praise. The Bible says in Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.”

So, stop comparing—start serving. Find joy in the lane He’s given you. When you pour out what’s in your hands, God fills what’s in your heart. That’s how we love Him with all our strength.

See Potential, Not Void — A Call to Hope

1 Samuel 16:7, remind us that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Near the end of his message Elder Sanders urged us to look in the mirror—not to see flaws or failures, but the divine potential God has placed within us.

The only real limits are the ones we set ourselves. God is ready to do “exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20), but we must let Him move freely in our lives. Don’t limit your praise. Don’t limit your purpose. Don’t limit your giving. Take the limits off, because we serve a limitless God. This week, don’t see what’s missing—see what God can multiply. There’s no limit to what God can do!
