In "Get off the Seesaw," Pastor Joseph Davis challenges believers to break free from the cycle of emotional ups and downs that characterizes an unstable faith. Drawing from Matthew 14, he illustrates how God shifts things in our lives—like our sleep patterns—to give us the "morning," a time of fresh insight and strategy before the day begins. The message culminates in three necessary steps to get off the seesaw and find unwavering stability:
Key Points to Get Off the Seesaw:
-- Face Your Fears with Faith: God allows trials not to torment us, but to push us into a place where we must use faith to overcome fear and superstitious thinking (like fear of black cats, broken mirrors, or Friday the 13th). Fear causes us to exaggerate problems or create imaginary realities. The antidote is getting your identity from God's Word.
-- Get in the Ship (Commitment): Like Jesus calling Peter back into the boat, God is calling people to decisiveness and commitment. The "ship" represents membership (connecting to the local church) and discipleship (the decision to grow and change). Discipleship cannot happen without membership.
-- Hush the Noise: Stop the chatter, petty conversations, and excuses that distract you from your destiny. You must be careful to choose your counsel wisely, seeking advice only from a few core people who have character and fruit in their lives.
