Potential In Opportunity 11-16-25 | Turning Point Podcast

This powerful message challenges us to move beyond being spectators in our faith and step into the fullness of what God has designed us for. Drawing from Luke 10:1-2, where Jesus sends out 72 disciples ahead of him, we're confronted with a profound truth: the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Our true potential isn't found in what we can accomplish for ourselves, but in what we're capable of doing for the kingdom of God. The sermon uses the striking imagery of a baseball bat to illustrate that it's our turn at the plate—we can't remain in the stands watching others play the game. Just as Peter was the only disciple who experienced walking on water because he actually stepped out of the boat, we too must seize the opportunities God presents, even when they come cloaked in inconvenience. The message emphasizes that our potential remains dormant until activated by the Holy Spirit, and that activation requires our willingness to act. We're reminded that God doesn't need our good ideas; He needs our obedience. The call is clear: stop leaving God at the altar on Sunday and bring Him home—into our marriages, families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. True biblical community isn't just about gathering together; it's about being empowered by the Holy Spirit to transform the lives around us.
