The gap between mediocrity and greatness is smaller than we think. Greatness is defined by what I add to my natural talent.  

If I am to bear spiritual fruit in my life, I must stay connected to Jesus.

The Holy Spirit empowers me to tell what I personally know to be true about Jesus.

Jesus command his disciples to make people into His disciples, baptizing them and teaching them.

Even when we fail, Jesus forgives us, and can use us for kingdom ministry.

God’s grace can save any sinner and can use that sinner to minister to others.

Even when we are above reproach, God may allow unfair difficulties to strengthen our dependence upon Him.

Giving in to temptation brings consequences, but with repentance comes forgiveness and restoration.

Rather than focus on the impossibility of our situation, we can rely upon the power of God.

When God gives us a difficult task we should be strong and courageous since He is with us, and we should be careful to follow His instructions so that we will be successful in the task.
