Pastor Joel Stockstill
Sunday, Dec 30, 2018

  • You cannot fulfill your potential without intentionality! @hippofloat

  • Intentionality: the fact of being deliberate or purposeful


John 7:1–6 NLT

Intentionality is:

1. Your time — verse 6:“Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime.” 


  • Time is the only thing we all share equally. 

  • The secret to leveraging time is PLANNING. 

  • Planning is the proof of intentionality. @hippofloat


2. Your friends — verse 10: “But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view.” 


  • Show me your friends and I will show you your future.—John Maxwell

  • What is your goal for your friendships? 


3. Your learning — verse 15: “The people were surprised when they heard him. ‘How does he know so much when he hasn’t been trained?’ they asked.” 


  • If you are not intentional about your learning, you are not intentional about your earning! @hippofloat

  • Becoming a self-learner is the most important skill you can acquire. It is the key that can open any door. 

  • It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts!—John Wooden 


4. Your mission — verse 33: “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.”
