• Good enough – the baseline living marked by mediocrity, being stuck in spiritual survival mode, and being controlled by complacency. (Good enough leaves you stuck in stagnation.) (Most of us aren’t in danger of ruining our lives. We’re in danger of wasting them.)

• Greatness – the vague, unrealistic aspirations of doing better that don’t work in real life. (Grasping for greatness leads to endless frustration.) (Striving in the natural.)

• Greater – the life altering understanding that God is ready to accomplish a kind of greatness in your life that is entirely out of human reach. Beyond what you see in yourself on your best day. But exactly what God has seen in you all along. (His super working through our natural.)

John 14:12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Anyone who has faith in me• You are not qualified by something that

you can do or attain but by faith in His grace. – Ephesians 2:8-9

• John 3:16• Hebrews 11:6• Seek Him – His Righteousness, His

Kingdom, His face, His way, His plan• Hebrews 11:1

Ephesians 2:8-9For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Hebrews 11:6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Will do what I have been doing.• Not might do, should do, or can do, but

will do.• What has Jesus been doing so far in the

book of John? – John 21:25• 1 John 2:6• 1 Corinthians 11:1

• Water to wine• Teaches• Makes believers of Samaritans• Heals official’s son• Heals man at pool• More teaching and Preaching• Heals man born blind• Raises Lazarus from the dead• Washes His disciples’ feet.

• Clears Temple• Feeds 5000

• Walks on water

John 21:25Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written

1 John 2:6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

1 Corinthians 11:1Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

He will do even greater things than these,Page 4 – “By leaving and then sending His Spirit to dwell inside His followers – ordinary people like you and me – Jesus released a greater power for us to do extraordinary things on an extraordinary scale. The kinds of things the early church saw and dis. The kinds of things He still wants to do today through us.

He will do even greater things than these,Page 4 – “By leaving and then sending His Spirit to dwell inside His followers…

Jesus isn’t calling us to be greater thanHe is.He is calling us to be greater with Himthrough His Spirit within us.”

• We are our greatest when He is greatest in us. – John 3:30

John 3:30He must become greater; I must become less.

Because I am going to the Father.• The reason we will do greater things is

because He wants to do greater things through us and has given us the Holy Spirit to do them.

• John 14:16-17God loves you and wants you to play your GREATER part in His GREATER mission!

John 14:16-17And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
