SERMON NOTES

Look Inside

Anna Lee - July 19, 2026 

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7 (NLT)

People judge by outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. 

2 Corinthians 4:5-18 (NLT)

Put the spotlight on Jesus, not on me.

John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’ It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. - John 3:27-30 (NLT)

God cares more about the willingness of our heart than the qualifications on our resume. 

It is never too late to take a Next Step. 

Invest in the things that will last.
