Description 

Main Point: There are messages to move ahead all around us – if we just look for them.

Synopsis:

• A young guy finds yellow post-it-notes spur him on to take a plunge in life.
• The twenty-something guy wakes up and discovers his first note “Believe” on his alarm clock.
• While running, he finds his next note on a traffic pole “Move Forward”.
• At home, he discovers a “Persevere” note on the shower head and one telling him “Don’t fear” on the shaving cream.
• Once he’s dressed and in his car, he retrieves a note telling him “Don’t look back” affixed to the rearview mirror.
• He drives to the ocean and sees Signs that say STAY BACK and WARNING yet he takes note of the post-it-note that says “Step out”.
• He walks a rugged bath to a cliff where he dives in. The screen goes black.
• The final scene is the young man –with soaked clothes walking up the stairs to his home.

Application:

• Sometimes walking with God must appear to others like we’re jumping off cliffs.
• There are times when we have to hear God’s voice—even if it may seem like we’re in dangerous territory.
• God often gets us out of our comfort zone.
• Although we may not get a complete plan from God all at once, His encouragement of hope—spurring us on to greater faith is ever present.

Suggested Uses:

• Great way to launch a new program or class at church
• Also appropriate for sermon starter on listening to the still small voice—that sometimes when God calls us to a great feat –He nudges us and sends messages in the ordinary.

Biblical Reference:

• Jeremiah 29:11
