MESSAGE NOTES

“Whenever you say YES TO SOMETHING, there is LESS OF YOU FOR SOMETHING ELSE.” — Lysa TerKeurst

JESUS IS OUR BETTER YES.

After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!”

As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed him.

When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
MARK 1:14-20

Before we say YES to Jesus, Jesus has already said YES to us.

Find OURSELVES

Find Our WAY FORWARD

Find Our PURPOSE in Life

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:19-22

Jesus is a BETTER YES because He’s committed to MAKING US BETTER.

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

ACTS 4:12-13

“AT ONCE they left their nets and followed Him.” = “YES”

Give Jesus you BEST NEXT YES.
