Step Up
“Jump or Dive”
Genesis 6-9

There is a high cost for …
	Choosing comfort, setting the bar low, doing little, putting things off, or doing it alone

You were meant for MORE!

Hebrews 11:6

Stepping up to do hard things brings great rewards.

Step up to …
	Do things that avoid a “hot and cold” life
Do things that go beyond what’s expected

Expectations
	God has high expectations of us
	We often lower the expectations
	God gives us the strength to go beyond our expectations

Genesis 6-9

Go beyond what’s expected
	Do what is hard for you
	Be known for what you do more than what you don’t do
	Chase after God’s expectations – not excuses

Expectations are blinded by complacency.

Complacency …
	Hides behind rationalizations
	Is satisfied with things, drains energy to do anything differently
	Fears the unknown, mistrusts the untried, hates the new
	Settles for average because of the fear of failure
	Is pride in disguise

Fight complacency!
