Sermons About No
God's Good All Ways
Our greatest weaknesses are God’s greatest opportunities… if we will trust him. The points of our greatest weaknesses are the points where God has his greatest opportunities to demonstrate his power…if we will demonstrate faith. We all have a tendency to measure God’s goodness, mercy, and interest in our lives according to what we see, feel, and experience. But it takes more faith to endure a no from God than to acquire a yes.

Facade
A.W. Tozer, in his book, The Pursuit of God shared this prayer: "Lord, I would trust You completely; I would be altogether Yours; I would exalt You above all. I desire that I may feel no sense of possessing anything outside of You. I want constantly to be aware of Your overshadowing Presence and to hear Your speaking Voice. I long to live in restful sincerity of heart. I want to live so fully in the Spirit that all my thought may be as sweet incense ascending to You and every act of my life may be an act of worship. Therefore I pray in the words of Your great servant of old, ‘I beseech You so for to cleanse the intent of mine heart with the unspeakable gift of Your grace, that I may perfectly love You and worthily praise You.’ And all this I confi dently believe You will grant me through the merits of Jesus Christ Your Son. Amen." Key Passage: Matthew 5:33-37

No
As we see the real essence and power of saying no, we see that it isn’t just about limiting our options; no is all about freeing us up to say an even bigger and better yes.

Yes
Life is full of options. Yet all the choices we make and decisions we face ultimately come down to just two small words—yes and no. We are the sum total of our yeses and nos. As we see God’s view of this word based on Matthew 5:37, we see the power and potential “yes” really has. When we are willing to back up our yeses with commitment, life will take on a new direction of purpose and meaning.
