The Power of Humble Wisdom | Called - Solomon | Week 4

What would you ask for if God gave you one wish? The Story of Solomon In this message, we dive into the story of Solomon in 1 Kings 3—a young, overwhelmed leader suddenly given the opportunity of a lifetime. God tells him, “Ask for anything.” No limits. No restrictions. Solomon could have asked for wealth, power, success, or victory over his enemies… but he didn’t. Instead, he asked for wisdom. Why? Because he knew he was in over his head. And that’s where this message hits home for all of us. So many of us are walking through seasons where we feel unqualified, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next, whether it’s in our marriage, parenting, leadership, career, or faith. Like Solomon, we don’t always need more resources… we need the right heart. In this sermon, we unpack three powerful principles from Solomon’s request: • Humility – recognizing where you need God’s help • A hunger to serve others – shifting the focus off yourself • A heart that understands – learning to listen deeply and seek the root, not just the surface. What if the breakthrough you’re looking for doesn’t come from getting more—but from asking God for wisdom? “If you’ve never been overwhelmed by the size of your assignment, you might be missing what God is calling you to.” So here’s the question: Where do you need wisdom right now?

When God Makes Impossible Possible | Called - Joshua | Week 3

What feels “impossible” in your life right now? | The Story of JoshuaIn this message, we look at the story of Jericho in Joshua 6 and discover how God often leads us straight into situations that feel overwhelming, unrealistic, or even impossible—only to show His power in ways we never expected.From marriage stories and parenting challenges to health scares, finances, addiction, and spiritual growth, we all face moments where we think, “There’s no way through this.” But time and again, what once felt impossible becomes possible with God.The Israelites stood before the fortified city of Jericho, massive walls, locked gates, and no clear strategy. God’s instructions didn’t make sense: march, wait, be silent, and trust. Yet through obedience, worship, and faith, the walls came down.So the question for us is simple but challenging:What is your Jericho?Maybe it’s restoration in a relationship.Maybe it’s someone you’ve been praying will come to know Jesus.Maybe it’s breaking free from addiction.Maybe it’s fear about your kids, your future, or your purpose.Whatever it is, don’t stop at “that’s impossible.” Start praying. Start walking. Start trusting.Because with God, impossible is never the end of the story.“If you’ve never been overwhelmed by the impossibility of your plans, then your God is too small.” – Mark BattersonWhat Jericho are you facing and what step of faith is God asking you to take next?Subscribe for more messages that help you grow in faith, hope, and purpose.Find out more about The Village https://www.thevillagechristianchurch...
