Recap

Pastor Travis Hearn opened by sharing his life verse, Ephesians 3:20-21, which declares God is able to do 'immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.' He used this theme to describe the extraordinary growth and supernatural movement of God at Impact Church, contrasting its humble beginnings of 204 people in 2010 with recent milestones like over 10,000 in attendance and a vibrant young adults ministry. Pastor Travis recounted stories of God's faithfulness, including a miraculous financial provision that saved the church from foreclosure and a prophetic word about the church's worship becoming a model for the nations. The core message emphasized that God calls things that are not as though they are, and believers are to partner with Him by speaking life and declaring His promises over their situations. The sermon concluded by reiterating the church's vision: to be impacted by God and to impact others for Him, fulfilling the Great Commission by making disciples and shining as lights in the world.

Main Points

  • God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask, imagine, or hope for, as demonstrated in the supernatural growth and provision for Impact Church.
  • Believers are called to speak life and prophetically declare God's promises, calling things that are not as though they are, just as God gives life to the dead.
  • The purpose of every believer and the church is to be impacted by God and to impact others, making disciples and shining as lights in the world.

  • Romans 4:17 - "As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations.' He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not." (NIV)
