Faith Builder, Part 6: Looking for “Underdogs”

Hot Dogs            Rom 12:3

God ain’t looking for hot dogs! He’s looking for humility, not a haughty attitude. We don’t know how to fix things – we need to go humbly to Him for help.

Superdogs            Matt 7:21-23

“We don’t need help! We can do it all.” But are we spending time with Him? God is looking for those who come to Him for help and rely on His provisions.

Underdogs            1 Cor 1:26-29

God doesn’t want you to be it all or do it all. He’s looking for those who are humble, meek, weak; those who don’t boast so He will get the glory and for those who appreciate what He does for them.



Plan for Underdogs            Josh 1:6-8

God WILL give you your dream – be strong and courageous! Don’t be distracted. YOU CAN DO IT!
Speak It  “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;…”
Think It  “… meditate on it day and night,…”
Do It  “… so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.”



Joshua didn’t win when the walls of Jericho fell; he had already won on the first day when he met with God!
