The First Generation is marked by growth.

The Second Generation is marked by entrenchment.

The Third Generation is marked by decline.

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;

Prov. 29:18

Worship brings revelation (heart knowledge) of...

1) God's hope (vision)

2) God's wealth (confidence)

3) God's power (confidence)

Key Question:

What dreams fill your heart?

Don't Be That Person

Happiness comes from the outside

(Circumstances)

Joy comes from the inside

(God)

1) The conditional Grinch believes his circumstances will be perfect.

Your heart grows when you conquer your circumstances for the cause of Jesus.

2) The analytical Grinch compares himself with others.

Your heart grows as you are comfortable with yourself.

3) The passive Grinch concedes to other people's plans for their life.

Your heart grows, as you remain confident in God's plan for your life.

4) The narcissist Grinch has confused priorities.

Your grows as you put God first, and yourself last.

Remember the path of joy is always under construction.
