Step Up
“It’s The Small Things”
Genesis 4:1-9

Step Up	
	God wants us to experience Him in everything
	He invites us to “step up”

Stepping up to do hard things brings great rewards.

If it were easy, everyone would want it!

Step up to…
	Consistency – avoid a “hot and cold” life
Fight Complacency - go beyond what’s expected
Courage – rely on God’s strength in weakness
Fight Cowering – don't hesitate when God initiates
	Commitment – take a stand for family, compassion, and Jesus

Hebrews 11:6

You were meant for more!

Step up to the small things…
	Doing big things for God starts with small things because of God.

Why are “small things” so hard?
	They’re easy to overlook
	You have to do them over and over
They don’t seem very important
They don’t seem to make a difference
They’re tedious and rarely exciting   
No one is watching

Hebrews 11:4

Genesis 4:1-10

What does Abel say?
	There is a small gap between…
Giving and generosity
		Being selfless and living selflessly
		Being in denial and taking responsibility
