by Limitless Life T.V. on Apr 08, 2024
In my sermon today, I reflected on the journey of Limitless Church and the concept of living a "Limitless Life" by going all in with our faith. I began by expressing gratitude for the faithfulness of God over the past three years, highlighting the consistent presence of God in our lives and the transformative power of His favor and provision. I shared my excitement about celebrating our church's third anniversary and the vision of Limitless Church to remove the boundaries on how we perceive Jesus, faith, and the church.
I recounted a personal story from my youth, introducing Alyssa and Renardo Worrell, who played a pivotal role in my spiritual development. Their influence was so profound that I legally changed my last name to Worrell as a testament to their impact on my life. This story set the stage for a broader discussion on what it means to be fully committed to our faith.
The core of my message centered on the idea of being "all in" for Jesus, comparing our dedication to other areas of life where people show unwavering commitment, such as sports fans enduring extreme weather or individuals deeply involved in sororities, fraternities, and political parties. I challenged the congregation to imagine what it would look like if we channeled that same level of commitment into our relationship with Jesus.
I emphasized the importance of spiritual growth and the need to commit to knowing God's word and voice. I spoke about the necessity of resolving to live a life that honors God, believing in His word, and trusting in His love for us. I highlighted the benefits of living a life committed to God, not just for the afterlife but for the transformation it brings in the here and now.
As I concluded the sermon, I extended an invitation for individuals to make Jesus the Lord of their lives, emphasizing the significance of this decision as the first step to going all in. I offered an opportunity for those who had previously made a commitment to recommit their lives to Jesus, assuring them of God's unwavering presence and readiness to receive them.
Key Takeaways:
1. Gratitude is a powerful expression of faith. Reflecting on the past three years, I am reminded of God's unwavering faithfulness. As we express gratitude, we acknowledge His provision and the transformative journey we've been on, which inspires us to trust Him for the future. [18:01]
2. The influence of spiritual mentors can shape our lives in profound ways. The story of Alyssa and Renardo Worrell illustrates the lasting impact that godly leaders can have. Their example encourages us to seek out and become mentors who can guide others toward a deeper relationship with Christ. [49:15]
3. Being "all in" for Jesus requires a commitment that surpasses any earthly allegiance. It's about dedicating every aspect of our lives to Him, not just the parts that are convenient or visible to others. This level of commitment transforms our character and integrity, aligning us with God's will. [56:30]
4. Spiritual growth is not a destination but a continuous journey. Committing to grow in our faith means engaging with God's word and spending time in His presence, allowing us to mature and be progressively changed. This growth is essential for living a life that truly honors God. [01:06:16]
5. Making Jesus Lord of our lives is the essential first step to going all in. This decision is not just a one-time event but a daily choice to live in obedience to God. It's about surrendering every area of our lives to His lordship and walking in the fullness of the relationship He offers. [01:39:00]

Day 1: Embracing Gratitude as Faith in Action
Gratitude is not merely a response to receiving; it is an active recognition of the divine orchestration in one's life. Reflecting on the past three years, one can see the tapestry of God's faithfulness woven through every circumstance. It is in the daily acknowledgment of His provision and transformative work that faith is strengthened and trust for the future is fortified. Gratitude becomes a lens through which the world is viewed, a lens that magnifies God's goodness and grace. It is through this lens that one can truly appreciate the journey they've been on and anticipate the path that lies ahead with hope and confidence. [18:01]
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Reflection: How can identifying and giving thanks for an instance of God's faithfulness in your life today strengthen your trust in Him for tomorrow?
Day 2: The Lasting Impact of Spiritual Mentorship
The influence of spiritual mentors is akin to the planting of a tree; it grows, strengthens, and bears fruit over time. The story of Alyssa and Renardo Worrell serves as a testament to the profound impact that godly mentors can have on an individual's life. Their dedication and guidance can lead one to deeper waters of faith, encouraging growth and maturity. As one reflects on the mentors who have shaped their spiritual journey, it becomes clear that these relationships are not coincidental but divinely appointed. They challenge us to seek out mentors who can provide wisdom and guidance, and to become mentors ourselves, investing in the spiritual well-being of others. [49:15]
"Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith." - Hebrews 13:7
Reflection: Who has been a spiritual mentor in your life, and how can you honor their influence by mentoring someone else on their faith journey?
Day 3: Commitment Beyond Earthly Allegiances
True commitment to Jesus surpasses any form of earthly allegiance, calling for a dedication that encompasses every aspect of life. It is a commitment that challenges believers to live with integrity and authenticity, aligning every thought, word, and deed with God's will. This unwavering dedication is transformative, molding character and influencing decisions. It is a call to live not just for the visible and convenient but to embody faith in the hidden places, where true character is forged. Such a commitment is the hallmark of a life lived in full surrender to Jesus. [56:30]
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." - Colossians 3:17
Reflection: What is one area of your life where you find yourself holding back from being 'all in' for Jesus, and what practical step can you take to commit that area to Him?
Day 4: The Continuous Journey of Spiritual Growth
Spiritual growth is a lifelong expedition, marked not by a final destination but by continuous transformation. It involves a daily commitment to engage with God's word and to spend time in His presence. This journey allows believers to mature in their faith, experiencing incremental changes that collectively lead to a life that honors God. It is through this process of growth that one learns to navigate life's challenges with wisdom and discernment, becoming more like Christ with each step. [01:06:16]
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18
Reflection: What specific action can you take this week to deepen your engagement with God's word and foster your spiritual growth?
Day 5: Surrendering to Jesus' Lordship Daily
Making Jesus the Lord of one's life is the foundational step to a life lived 'all in.' This decision is not a mere moment in time but a daily choice to walk in obedience and surrender. It is an ongoing process of yielding every area of one's life to His lordship, embracing the fullness of the relationship He offers. This surrender is the gateway to a life of purpose and fulfillment, where every decision is made in the light of His love and sovereignty. [01:39:00]
"And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised." - 2 Corinthians 5:15
Reflection: Reflect on the current state of your relationship with Jesus. What does surrendering to His lordship look like for you today, and how can you take a step towards that surrender?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Good morning, everybody! How are we doing this morning? Yeah! I am excited to be in the house of the Lord this morning, celebrating three years as Limitless Church today.
I don't know about you, but when I think about the faithfulness of God over these three years, when I think about how consistent He's been over these three years, when I think about just how every single time He says, "I don't care where you at. You can be on that more at Woodland Christian, or I can put you on Walnut at your brand new building." He shows up every time. That is something that I'm grateful for.
I'm grateful that whether we were on a Sunday or a Saturday, He still showed up. I'm grateful for that, that He thought enough about us, that He loved us enough to say, "You know what, my son, I'm here. You know what, Limitless, I'm here. You know what, I got a word. I'm sending you to the building because I got a word for you."
Because I know my life is different than it was three years ago. Amen? Am I the only one? My life is different than it was three years ago. I've seen God's consistent favor. I've seen Him moving. I've seen Him answering prayers. And these three years have been like nothing else.
And I am grateful to the Lord for His grace, for His favor, and His provision. Because as I told my leaders this morning, other churches that have been around for three years don't look like this. And so I'm grateful. God, thank you for what you continue to do each and every Sunday. Thank you for what you continue to do in our lives Mondays through Saturdays. Thank you for the favor to be. Thank you for being able to celebrate three years as a body of believers, as Limitless Church.
And so I'm excited about that. Thank you so much, you guys, for being here, for choosing to be here, for choosing along, as I told my leaders this morning, for choosing along to come in on this crazy ride and see what God is going to do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
For those of you who don't know, I probably shouldn't have led with this. My name is Pastor Kenan. I, along with my beautiful wife, we are the pastors here at Limitless Church. Amen. For the very first time, you picked an awesome Sunday to come to church. Yeah, you did.
But even in that, we don't believe that it's an accident. We believe God has a plan and a purpose for you being in this service this morning. There's something that God wants to say to you this morning. And if you would open your ears and open your hearts and be receptive, there's something that God wants to say. There's something that God wants to do if you would be available.
If this is your first time, we have a QR code in a seat pocket in front of you. As you heard earlier, it is my favorite thing, one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. Just open your phone, point to that QR code. We have a registration card. I would love it if this is your first time or maybe your second time, if you would fill out that registration card and let us know how you got here.
I would love to call you this week and just pray with you, to hear about how your experience was, and just to hear your story about how you found out about us.
We have one quick announcement before we transition into a deeper time of worship. We're having something that we've never had before here at Limitless Church, and it is our marriage conference. We're excited about that. Married couples, can you make some noise?
That's why people don't want to be married, because y'all don't be excited when we call on y'all. I'm going to try this again. Married couples, can we make some noise?
We have our marriage conference. It is called The Art of Marriage. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. If you are a married couple, it doesn't matter whether you're engaged, whether you're newly married, or you've been married for 20 years. I guarantee you that if you come to this marriage conference, it will change your marriage. Period.
I dare you to sign up. That's how short I am of what's going to happen. I dare you to sign up. April 20th at 8:30. Scan our QR code. We would love for you to be there. I guarantee you it will change your life.
I just want to say thank you to all of our visitors again, everybody who's here. We're celebrating three years. We're going to move into a deeper time of worship. I want to pray, and let's see what the Lord is going to continue to do.
Heavenly Father, thank you. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for keeping us. Thank you for sustaining us. For covering us. For showing up every single time. For hearing us every single time.
God, I pray for those who are watching online right now. That even as they sit, stand, walk, drive, that your presence would be there. That you would saturate where they are right now in the name of Jesus.
I pray for everyone in this building right now, God, that you would move in this place. You would begin to speak to hearts right now. That you would begin breaking down walls right now. That you would begin ministering to broken hearts and spirits right now. You're restoring them even right now in this moment. You're mending them right now even in this moment.
Thank you for your blessing. Thank you, Jesus. Have your way in this place. God, I pray that you would inhabit our songs today just like you did with the children of Israel. Would you inhabit these praises, God? We are here to hear from you. In Jesus' name. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Not going to lie, secretly, I was hoping that the iPad broke so I could... Like, well, got to get a new one.
Well, good morning, everyone. I hope that you guys have enjoyed the service so far. It's celebration. It's our party, and we'll praise if we want to because we can do that. And I'm excited to see everyone here celebrating our three years.
Most of you know that it is our vision here at Limitless Church to take the limits off of the way that you see Jesus, faith, and the church. Okay? Today, I get the pleasure of taking the limits off of the way that you see Jesus, faith, and it's off of the way you hear the word of God.
So for the past three years, you guys know, usually I come up here and I'm ready to go, and we dive in, and the Lord speaks, and that's usually what we do. Today, we're going to do something a little different, and I'm pretty excited about it.
In terms of my stories, you guys have heard the story about kind of how I came into ministry, how I was serving, and how we got to this point. And in that story, I'm going to ask a very quick question. How many of you have heard the name Alyssa and Renardo Worrell? Raise your hand. Raise them high. Raise them high.
Okay, good. I'm going to tell it again. All right. So, 13 years old, I go to team ministry. As I walk in team ministry, there is a young woman. There is a young lady that's there, and she is on fire, okay? She is on 10, like never before.
She walks in. I'm so excited that you're here. You don't understand how your life is going to change because of the decision that you made. You guys are going to change the world. And it's like at 10, okay? And I'm like, I didn't want to go home. I'm here. I'm just happy to be here. You're way more excited than I am, right?
And we begin having a conversation about serving. And she begins to pour into my life at a time when I really needed and didn't even know what I needed. She was the adult leader over our youth ministry. Her and her husband, Alyssa and Renardo, they begin to be everything that I needed.
I remember I told a story, guys, about getting into fights in school, and I was about to get into a fight in the school, and they showed up, ready to fight at school. Times where I'm in the club, and I get a phone call or I get a text message, excuse me, "Go home. Go home right now," right?
There have been times I remember driving home to my, you know, trying to be grown, driving home to my house, there's no food in the cupboards, there's no food in the refrigerator. And I'm going home. And I get a phone call, "Did you eat?" "No." "Don't you ever go home without eating. Go pull over, we're going to McDonald's, and we're going to feed you. Don't ever go home without eating."
I'm talking about somebody that's a part of your life, who didn't have to be, okay? Time goes by, I'm about to get married. My last name was Brown. Brown wasn't my father's last name, and it wasn't a name that I was synonymous with. That didn't have any meaning to me.
I get married, I say, "I want to bring something into my marriage that means something, that when I talk to my kids about legacy, there's something that I'm able to tell them—the history, I'm able to tell them the story, I'm able to tell them what this name means."
And so I'm talking to my wife, who didn't like Brown in the first place. "I don't want to be Sonya Brown." "Like, well, you ain't got no choice, okay? Why don't you be Keena Brown? Why don't you be Keenan Johnson?" "No, I'm not doing it. I love you, Dad, by the way. Yeah, I love you."
But I said, "I want to take something into my marriage that means something." And I made the decision to legally change my name to Keenan Worrell, after Alyssa and Renardo Worrell, because of the impact that they had in my life as adult leaders, and the impact that they've continued to have in my life from the age of 13 till today, when I'm 38 years old.
There's not a week that goes by that I don't call them. I don't call them crying, or talking, or, "Hey, do you have five minutes?" which really means 15 to 30, so 45. And they've literally walked with me through every phase of my life.
And so we have great conversations. We have amazing, mind-boggling conversations. And today I want to bring you in on that conversation. Today I have the privilege and the honor of bringing to the table my, who I call mom, Miss Alyssa Worrell.
It's my love language. Yes. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Amen. So we have these conversations. I want to bring you on. We're starting this series called Limitless Life, right? We do this series every year, but this year it's called Limitless Life: All In.
And so the question is, what would it look like if you went all in? We have people who go all in all the time. Last year we had that football game that was in the freezing cold, right? It was all over the news. It's like below 32, which is already too much for me.
I remember seeing an Instagram post where they were like hiring people to go shovel the football field so the game could take place. Y'all remember this, right? Then I heard later that people went to the game so much they were there so decolored that later they had to get limbs amputated because of frostbite because they were at the game.
Come on, that's going all in! Keep in mind, you know, and this blows my mind, they weren't players. There was no check involved. They were fully committed to being there, right? They paid to be there. That's how committed, that's how all in they were as it pertained to that game.
And don't have... I'm telling you, people are all in. The house divided. Can I say it's okay? It's okay. Let's keep going. What about sororities and fraternities? Mike, come on, somebody. Sororities and fraternities, you better not call them the wrong thing. These AKA ladies, you better not call them the wrong thing, right?
They will chop your head off. And let me tell you something, when you see them dancing, it is not an invitation to go in and get in there. It's not. Don't do that. There are consequences, life consequences. They are all in. Their entire thing, they're all in on this sorority fraternity.
Okay, I'm going to keep going. If you can't say out, say amen. Say something about somebody's political party that they don't agree with. Say it if you want to, right? We don't even bring it up because we already know. And when somebody starts going that way toward the conversation, you just turn that thing on back because you're like, "I don't know what's going to happen, and I'm not trying to."
Why? Because they're all in. They've committed everything, right? Wrong, and different, good, bad. No, this is my squad. This is my team. This is who I pick, and that's it. They are all in.
And my question is, what would it look like if we were all in when it came to Jesus? What would it look like if we were all in when it came to our faith as believers, as followers of Jesus, as Christians? What would it look like if we were all in?
Being all in encompasses this idea of committing every area of our life to passionately and wholeheartedly following Jesus. Wholeheartedly following Jesus, resolving to live a lifestyle that consistently looks to honor God.
Going in is choosing to no longer tiptoe into this thing—not ankle deep, not waist deep. This is the idea of being fully submerged in this faith day in, day out, sunrise, sunset, eyes open, eyes closed. We are committed to following Jesus and living a life that honors Him. This is going all in.
Romans 12, verses 1 says this: "Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies..." What does that mean? Dedicating all of yourselves, setting it apart as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational, logical, intelligent act of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world any longer with its superficial values and customs. Just stepped on somebody right there. But be transformed and progressively changed. Come on, progressively changed.
I'm watching the crowds of people that are still in the relational sickener, unchanged. So those of y'all who are impatient with those people who haven't changed at the pace that you want them to change, those who ain't got grace because you should have been fixed a long time ago, you still walking with that, you still dealing with that.
It's funny, the scripture says progressively changed. It's for another day. Progressively changed as you mature because there is a requirement as you mature spiritually.
How do I do that? How do I progressively change? How do I mature spiritually? By the renewing of your mind. What does that mean? Focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes. Why? So that you may prove to who? Not to God, because God knows who He is. God knows His plan for your life. He knows what He’s going to do to prove to yourself what the will of God is.
That which is good, acceptable, and perfect in His plan and purpose for you. How do I know? It's good, it's acceptable, it is perfect in His plan and His purpose for you.
Going all in means leaving behind the former ways of thinking, of being, and of doing to now pick up God's way of thinking, being, and doing. This is what going all in means.
Why? Because for us, let me tell you something. The way that we think, be, and do, it ain't working. I don't know if any of you know what's going on outside in the world, but it's not working. It doesn't look great.
Doesn't look great at all. You can turn on the news, you can walk outside, you can walk to the corner, you can go to the gas station or the grocery store, and you will be like, "Man, I think we got this wrong. I think we did something wrong here. We miscalculated something. We should probably reassess this."
Why? Proverbs 14 says, "There is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him." That means it looks like it's right. It looks like it's correct. It looks like I'm doing the right thing, but its end is the way of death. Its end is the way of death.
This is why we have to follow what the word of God says. This is why we have to be all in in our life. Not just when people see us. Mom used to tell us this all the time: "Your character is who you are when nobody's looking."
The thing that matters most is your integrity. Because you can fake in front every Sunday when you come in here. You can shout hallelujah, but God knows. So it's not about that. It's about this.
Okay. All right. So we've covered what does it mean to be all in? Okay. Everybody got an understanding? Y'all with us? Let's continue our conversation.
Mom, how do I get there? How do I get to all in? Because it's hard, right? And I want to do it.
Yeah. Because my right standing with God isn't based on anything that I do.
That I do. Once and for all.
Oh, okay.
Yeah. So just because I show up doesn't mean I'm all in.
Yes.
Just because I'm serving doesn't mean I'm all in.
Yes.
Wow, right? So let's talk about that.
Okay. The first thing I got to do is I have to commit to growing, right? We use this term being spiritually left back, right?
Mm-hmm. Because if you don't grow, you stay at the same place over, over, over, over, over.
Right. So the first thing I need to commit to is growing spiritually.
Right. Which means I need to be in His word.
Right. Which means I need to be spending time with Him.
Right. To hear and to know His voice.
Right. Me, on the inside of you, we'll be able to see because when it squeezes, come on, it's you're all in because at that time the show is... It ain't even going to show up about the days when you're offended, right?
'Cause I don't like what you said lastly, and I don't like how you said it, and I don't like you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Am I still going to be... Am I still going to show? Am I still all in when it's...
Yeah.
Yeah. That's good.
What would you say?
So we talked about believing.
Yeah.
We talked about committing.
Right.
We talked about resolving.
Let's talk about that.
Resolving. What is the resolution? Because there has to be a resolution.
Right. A resolve within myself.
What is the thing?
Okay. I have to resolve. I have to resolve that I believe God's word.
Right.
I believe what He said about me.
I believe who He is.
I believe that He loves me.
I believe that He loves me.
I believe that He hears me.
Therefore, I am resolving.
I'm resolving to live a life that honors God.
Right.
Okay. So, very quickly, if you could give me... Give me your top three, okay?
Top three.
Top three.
We'll see how we do.
Top three.
The benefits. Because we talk about, "Hey, you want to live this life. Hey, you need to do this." It was like, "Why? How does this benefit me as a person? How does this benefit me as a believer? Why can't I just be, you know, how it used to be? You get saved, and then I go to heaven. Like, why can't I just do that?"
Right.
Because some people are like, "No, I'll just wait until I get... I'm sure I'm going to have time on my deathbed, and I'll do it then."
What... Why do I need to do it now?
Hard-headed.
Right.
Not listening.
Lord, here I am 5,000 times again.
Me.
Yes.
That you're not good enough.
How do I get involved?
Right?
That you put down because life and death is in the power of the tongue.
Okay.
Okay. Lastly, I got two minutes.
Okay. The one question, what stops us?
What stops us?
What stops us?
We want to.
We want to.
We want to.
And we leave the services, and we're like, "Yes, I'm going to do, yes."
And then Monday happens.
Right.
Some of us, Sunday afternoon happens.
Right.
But with everything in us, we want to.
But there are some things that stop us.
Right.
Give me those things.
Give me those things.
I'm going to have a... I'm going to have a... I'm going to have a question.
I'm going to come up.
But could you talk to me about the things that stop us from going in?
Go for it.
That pleases God. So that is something that stops us. We're easily, especially in this generation.
Right.
We're easily distracted.
Right.
Ah, squirrel.
Yeah.
Sunday, if nothing's going on and I slept.
Come on.
And I have nothing else to do.
Right.
And through Friday.
And I deserve to rest.
And if I got everything done on Saturday, all in.
I gotta give it back to you.
Amen.
Anybody get ministered to today?
I... She could just stay here. I really do. I beg her every week to just move and be here so we can get some more of this.
I pray that you heard the word of the Lord today. The other format looks different, but the word is still the same.
Yeah, that you're ministered to. I pray that that area was exposed for you today because we all got an area. We all got an adjustment that needs to be made. It's a little tightening, tightening up that needs to happen.
I pray that that area was revealed and that you make a decision today to go all in, recognizing all of the things, recognizing what is necessary, and not just being a hearer of the word, but being a doer of the word.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for your word today. I thank you for speaking today. Thank you for speaking to hearts, to minds, to those who are watching online right now. I thank you that you've spoken in that place.
To those who are sitting here, I thank you for speaking in that place. As we resolve to be fully submerged, as we resolve to show up fully present, because of who you are, because of what you said, because of your word and who you say that we are.
I thank you, God, for the opportunity to live a limitless life. In Jesus' name.
Could y'all make some noise for my mom?
I'm going to have our ushers come forward at this time, and we're going to transition to a time of giving. We have an opportunity to sow into vision, to sow into what God said today, an opportunity to say, "I thank you for speaking. Thank you for providing. Thank you for bringing me here, God. I just want to take a second to show my gratitude."
We have this opportunity to say, "Thank you for what you're doing in Limitless Church. Thank you for the opportunity to take part and to be a part of what you're doing in Limitless Church."
For three years, God, you've been faithful, and today is no different. And so we offer you this opportunity to sow into vision.
For those of you who are new, we have a QR code that I've talked about. You can feel free to take out your phone and give there. A notification will pop up, and you'll see "Give to Limitless Church."
Our offering buckets are here. If you're watching online, you can text the word "GIVE" to 833-879-0161, and a prompt will show up to give you an opportunity to sow into vision.
And so we offer you this opportunity to sow into vision. And so we offer you this opportunity to give as well. We talk about it here at Limitless Church, not giving haphazardly, not giving out of compulsion, but hearing God on what it is that He would have you to give.
Not just saying, "Hey, oh, this is what's in my pocket," but "God, what is it that you would have me to give? Because I want to seek you."
So I'm going to pray, and our ushers are going to pass the offering buckets. I pray that God will speak, and I thank you for that. I thank you for hearing Him today.
God, I thank you for this opportunity to sow. We believe that our finances are a seed. So God, you gave us the seed, so what is it that you would have us to give? Speak right now, Jesus. Thank you for speaking, God.
We believe that we heard you, and we make a decision to move out of obedience and out of a generous heart.
As the offering buckets are passed, would you stand, and I'll be right back to close this out.
Do me a favor and stretch your hands toward your seed. We have this opportunity to speak to our seed.
Heavenly Father, thank you. Thank you for this seed that has been sown into your house today, God. We believe that Limitless Church is good ground, and so we sow this seed on good ground, and we command it to go, to grow, and to multiply in Jesus' name.
God, I thank you for those who gave out of the generosity, God, in their hearts today. Thank you for those who gave out of the little that they had.
God, I thank you for those who didn't have to give, but had a heart and a desire to give. Would you bless them all, God? Press down, shaking together, running over. Would you multiply it into them, God? Fulfilling every need, answering every call.
We thank you for what you're doing and what you did here today through this seed. In Jesus' name, amen.
Very quickly, before you leave, the only, the first step to going all in is making Him Lord. There is no way that you can say, "I'm all in," if you haven't made Him Lord first.
And so today, I want to offer you this opportunity to make Him Lord of your life. Not Sunday, not Easter, Christmas only, but to make Him Lord.
Seek ye first the kingdom. Seek ye first the kingdom, this opportunity to say, "God, I make you Lord of every area of my life."
Today, I confess you as Lord. Now, I may have confessed you as friend. I may have confessed you as confidant. I may have confessed you as in case of emergency only.
But today, you have the opportunity to confess Him as Lord. He says, "If you believe in your heart and confess Him as Lord, then you will be saved." Amen.
So today, I want to offer you the opportunity to make the first step to going all in. And that's making Jesus Christ Lord of your life.
This idea of believing that you've come to the end of yourself and that you're in need of a Savior. Believing that God sent His Son to die on the cross for you. And that He rose on the third day with all power in His hand.
Why? Because He wanted to be in relationship with you. Because He loved you that much.
So today, I want to offer you that opportunity. The second thing I want to offer you is this opportunity if you say, "Hey, Pastor, I recognize that I made a decision to make Him Lord. But I haven't been living the life that lines up with that decision. I made a commitment a long time ago, but I haven't been walking in that commitment. And I want to make a decision today to recommit my life to Jesus."
I want to offer you that opportunity today as well. And the good thing and the great thing and the awesome thing and the amazing thing about God is God says, "I've never moved. I've been right here the whole time. I was waiting for you at the door."
He says, "I'm ready. I'm here with open arms, ready to receive you."
And so if you're here today, you've never made Jesus Lord of your life, or you want to recommit your life to Jesus, we want to pray with you.
I'm going to have some of my altar team over here on the left. I want to get some of my altar team over here on the right as well. And if that's you today, I don't want you to leave here without getting what you came for.
We have plenty of altar workers. Myself, my wife, we will be here. We will pray. Because this is what matters. We can't talk about going all in without making Him first Lord.
And so if that's you today, as we close, would you come down and get prayer? I promise you, we won't keep you long. But this will be the decision. This next 30 seconds, this next 60 seconds will be the thing that changes your life forever. I guarantee it.
So as we leave today, make your way to my left. Make your way to my right. Say, "Hey, I want to recommit my life to Jesus. Hey, I want to make Jesus Lord of my life."
We want to pray with you because we've seen what God can do. The fact that you're sitting here right now is a miracle. We've seen what God can do.
And we know what happens when God's people pray. So today, I offer you these two decisions.
Father, I thank you for your word. I thank you for your people. I thank you for keeping us these past three years. And if this three years is indicative of anything, then we cannot wait to see what the next three years are like.
God, thank you for giving us an opportunity to go all in. We love you. We thank you for being God of Limitless Church. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
God bless you. And don't forget, do what? You leave today, we have cotton candy and popcorn and cake and stuff outside to celebrate. But don't leave here without getting prayed for. God bless you.
1. "Being all in, it encompasses this idea of committing every area of our life to passionately and wholeheartedly following Jesus. Wholeheartedly following Jesus, resolving to live a lifestyle that consistently looks to honor God. Going in is choosing to no longer tiptoe into this thing, not ankle deep, not waist deep, this is the idea of being fully submerged in this faith day in, day out, sunrise, sunset, eyes open, eyes closed, we are committed to following Jesus and living a life that honors him." [56:30]( | | )
2. "Going all in means leaving behind the former ways of thinking, of being, and of doing to now pick up God's way of thinking, being, and doing. This is what going all in means. Why? Because for us, let me tell you something. The way that we think, be, and do, it ain't working. It doesn't look great. Doesn't look great at all." [59:16]( | | )
3. "I want to take something into my marriage that means something. That when I talk to my kids about legacy, there's something that they, that I'm able to tell them the history, I'm able to tell them the story, I'm able to tell them what this name means. And so I made the decision to legally change my name to Keenan Worrell, after Alyssa and Renato Worrell. Because of the impact that they had in my life." [50:00]( | | )
4. "I am excited to be in the house of the Lord this morning, celebrating three years as Limitless Church today. When I think about the faithfulness of God over these three years, how consistent he's been, how every single time, he shows up. That is something that I'm grateful for. My life is different than it was three years ago. I've seen God's consistent favor, I've seen him moving, I've seen him answering prayers." [18:01]( | | )
5. "So just because I show up doesn't mean I'm all in. Just because I'm serving doesn't mean I'm all in. The first thing I got to do is I have to commit to growing, right? Which means I need to be in his word. Which means I need to be spending time with him. To hear and to know his voice. That's how we grow spiritually, and that's how we ensure we're truly all in." [01:06:16]( | | )
6. "We can't talk about going all in without making him first Lord. And so if that's you today, as we close, would you come down and get prayer? This will be the decision that changes your life forever. The fact that you're sitting here right now is a miracle. We've seen what God can do. And we know what happens when God's people pray. So today, I offer you these two decisions." [01:41:42]( | | )
7. "The first step to going all in is making him Lord. There is no way that you can say, I'm all in, if you haven't made him Lord first. And so today, I want to offer you this opportunity to make him Lord of your life. Not Sunday, not Easter, Christmas only, but to make him Lord. Seek ye first the kingdom, this opportunity to say, God, I make you Lord of every area of my life." [01:37:55]( | | )
