5-17-2026 Greater Centennial's Worship Experience:"One Giant Away

And if you're not careful, by December 31, you'll be in the same place. Right. Because I've come to understand one thing. I feel like preaching in the room. Alright. Praise God. I come to understand one thing that God doesn't change your circumstance until he changes your perspective. Come on. Yeah. you can pray all you want to. You can fast all you want to. You can sow all the seeds you want. That's right. But if you don't learn how to see differently My god. You're gonna keep missing what God is trying to give you.

Most of us lose our opportunity before we even engage it because we have to deal not just with voices in us, but I'm highlighting in the text we gotta deal with voices around us. Yes. Yes. Of us have been stuck in the same place for so long not because the thing in front of you is too big but because the people around you are too small. Yeah. Oh my god. You've you've got family members questioning your motives. [01:10:25] (31 seconds)  #PeopleAroundLimitYou

I am so glad that even though David was used to seeing lions, tigers, and bears. He had never seen a giant before. Y'all ain't helping me in the room. He never seen anybody that can move like him. He never seen anybody that looks like him but is bigger than him. Tell your neighbor, I've never seen anything like this. But here's the good news about the story. Can I tell y'all the good news? David never seen anybody like Goliath but Goliath never seen. Y'all ain't helping me. Anybody like David. Goliath never saw anybody that would fight him back. Goliath never saw anybody that would talk back to him. Shake your neighbor by the hand and say, neighbor, your enemy has never seen anybody like you. [01:30:11] (64 seconds)  #TheyNeverSawYouComing

You don't know what I'm up against. You don't know how long I've been dealing with this. You you don't know my the nuances to my struggle, but here's what I do know that the thing that has been blocking you, the thing that has been taunting you, the thing that has been standing in your way for weeks, months, and even years is not just opposition. It is opportunity in disguise. Oh, y'all ain't gonna help me in the room. [01:06:42] (32 seconds)  #OpportunityInDisguise

This is a time, brothers and sisters, as we enter into the middle of the year, to just declare that with the time remaining in 2026, that this is my year of opportunity. Amen. Amen. That that that that most of us have walked into this year with the same vision from last year. Same declaration from last year. Some of us as we are in this halftime coming into halftime of 2026, some of us are seeing the same problems Yeah. Facing the same frustrations, bumping our heads against the same walls and limitations. [01:04:56] (45 seconds)  #2026YearOfOpportunity

I god loves you so much that he'll make them stop calling you since you won't stop calling them. God loves you so much. I wish I had a witness in here that when you look over your life, you glad they stopped calling you. You glad they stopped texting you. God has a way of making that thing let go of you because you don't have enough strength let go of it. Can I get about 15 people to give god a five second praise because god said, I'll make it let you go since you don't have enough strength to let it go yourself? [01:08:40] (39 seconds)  #ReadyToShift

There is disruption. Disruption leaves gaps and holes, and and it also those gaps and holes become spaces of opportunity. And as we begin to move into the middle of the year where we should begin to take reflection on the first half of our year where we begin to reflect to say, did I really stick to my resolution? You know, some of us said we were gonna lose weight January 1. We ain't stop eating that fried chicken. Yelling with me. This is a time, brothers and sisters, as we enter into the middle of the year, [01:04:12] (49 seconds)  #HearShapesSee

And the tragedy, brothers and sisters, isn't that opportunity isn't there? The tragedy is that it's been there the whole time, but you've either been too distracted, too discouraged, or too defeated to even recognize it. I know some of y'all are saying, pastor, you don't know my situation, and you are right. I don't know. You don't know what I'm up against. You don't know how long I've been dealing with this. You you don't know my the nuances to my struggle, but here's what I do know [01:06:21] (31 seconds)  #NoTimeForSmallMindedness
