Do It for Jesus || Show Up || Motivating Word

About this sermon

What does it truly mean to show up for God? This message challenges us to move beyond a consumeristic faith where we only seek what God can do for us, and instead embrace the call to present ourselves fully in return. Drawing from Mark 16, we are invited into the story of three women who rose before sunrise on the morning after crucifixion weekend, carrying spices they had purchased at personal cost, walking toward a tomb with no guarantee of what they would find. They could not move the stone. They could not change what had happened. But they could show up. And because they did, they became among the first to hear the most world-altering announcement in human history. Their presence positioned them for revelation. The lesson for us is profound and deeply personal: our priorities are revealed by our presence. We make time for what matters. We spend on what we value. Romans 12 reminds us that after everything God has extended to us in mercy and grace, the reasonable response is to present ourselves, not merely for attendance, but for service. Worship, in its fullest biblical sense, is not just what happens when the music starts. It is our time, our availability, our obedience, our yes. This message calls us to examine honestly whether our lives reflect the God we say is first. 0:00 The Call to Show Up 10:08 The Price of Presence 19:49 Walking Toward the Stone 34:19 Presence Before Proof and God’s Faithful Record 44:48 Making Yourself Available: The Invitation to Respond Subscribe here http://www.youtube.com/OfficialSmokieNorful http://www.SmokieNorful.com
