We've got one life and have to do big things for God, right? But what are big things for God?

What if big things have nothing to do with the size of the task but are big in obedience rather

than scope? This month on the Jesus Over Everything show, we're going to be talking about some

forgotten ways to serve God, big obedience

things that are sometimes overlooked in the quest for something more notable. I'm your host,

Lisa Whittle. And if you're new here, welcome. If you've been around, you know how this goes.

Jesus, honesty, and straight talk. Let's go.

Thank you. Let's go.

I've often heard people say, I want to do big things for God, or even giving a compliment to someone maybe they can see that has a lot of gifting or passion, you're going to do big things for God.

I get this, and sometimes big is small or scope-related, but I want to challenge this line of

thinking and say that big and small in the kingdom of God is not only not able to be

completely measurable or measured in human terms, but it is

harmful to categorize service by the standards of culture.

And culture puts things in small and big categories based on number.

Because if we do that, then the more unseen and obscure ways that we serve God is not going to be

valued by us, and thus we won't pursue them nearly as much, or we won't say yes to them when

God nudges on our heart to do them. And yet, those things are often the most important ways that

we can serve the kingdom of God, the ways that we

will be the most fulfilled, and the ways that we will be the most even effective.

So here are some questions for you. I want to ask you today. What if it's big when you simply

say yes to God? What if serving God when you don't get public attention or applause is big?

What if saying yes to needs when you don't feel qualified, but trust God to supply you with what you need is actually big?
