3. For who hath despised the day of small things? Zech.4:10

4. For who hath despised the day of small things? Zechariah 4:10 The Canaanite Woman Knew that Even the Smallest Crumb of Jesus Was Enough for the Healing of Her Daughter

5. An Atom is Just About the Smallest Thing in the Universe, yet it Holds Within it – a Universe of its Own.

6. The Smallness of God is Every Bit as Great as His Bigness – It is God!

7. We Tend to Like the Idea of a Great Big God God Speaks to Moses at Mt. Sinai

8. We Tend to Like the Idea of a Great Big God The Majesty of Heaven

9. Mega Churches We Tend to Like the Idea of a Great Big God

10. His Gentle Presence in Our Lives is the Only True Majesty in the Universe Nothing Compares with Just Being with Jesus

11. Elijah’s Experience on the Mountain is Quite Different than that of Moses “And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice… 

12. “And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. And the LORD said unto him, Go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria…”

15. Two Men Meet God at Mt. Sinai Meek Moses Needed to Meet & Appreciate His Big God Bold Elijah Needed to Meet & Appreciate His Small God

16. Elijah had done what he thought was big things for God and he likely expected a big result and a big Moses-like response from God… WIND EARTHQUAKE FIRE But… Where is God?

17. It turns out God was just being small and ordinary… telling Elijah to just get back to being faithful to his everyday ministry!!!

18. “ The wind, and earthquake, and fire, did not make him cover his face, but the still voice did. Gracious souls are more affected by the tender mercies of the Lord, than by his terrors. The mild voice of Him who speaks from the cross… is accompanied with peculiar power in taking possession of the heart. ” Matthew Henry

19. When we need comfort, when we need forgiveness, when we need assurance -- thunder and lightning are meaningless, but a touch or Word from Jesus is everything.

20. Heaven is Where Jesus is For the Three Hebrew Children… It Was in the Fiery Furnace

21. Heaven is Where Jesus is For David… It Was the Valley of the Shadow of Death

22. Heaven is Where Jesus is For a Certain Thief… It Was On the Cross

23. Heaven is Where Jesus is For Mary Magdalene It Was in the Garden when He Softly said Her Name His Presence in Our Daily Lives is as Big as ‘Knowing Jesus’ Gets!

24. Everything Else is Mere Sparklers & Firecrackers… Breathtaking, Awe Inspiring, Mind Tickling, but not as Soul Satisfying as a Single Comforting Word or Loving Touch from the Heart of Jesus

25. We Must Begin to Truly Value Every Bitty Crumb of Jesus which We Now Have in Our Lives: Prayer Word of God Steps of Faith Acts of Kindness Fellow Believers Family Daily Blessings We Don’t Need Bigger and Bigger Experiences with Jesus… We Need to Value all the Small Bits.

26. If We Can’t Love These Then, If We Don't Love This

27. Like the Tiny Atom, Jesus’ Dealings with Us Sometimes Seem Rather Small, but He is Big! When We Begin to Value ‘Small’ Jesus, We Can then Discover His True Depths: His Capacity to Love His Longsuffering His Daily Faithfulness Delving Deeply into ‘Small’ Jesus, We Will Find the True ‘Big’ Jesus

28. What is the Sinner‘s Prayer? This is a prayer we can pray when we are ready to admit we are sinners and need Christ’s forgiveness. It must be prayed with faith in our hearts and a readiness to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

30. John Wesley’s Testimony “…the preacher was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ and I felt my heart strangely warmed.” Disciple’s Testimony “They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?’”

31. A prayer of faith  Pray this prayer if : You want to set an example & show others how it is done You just like to give your heart to Jesus again & again If you never have before You have in the past, but you think it would mean more today You have been walking afar off and you want to come back Faith

32. We Declare Our Faith Publicly Because Jesus Declared His LOVE Publicly “If you stand before others and are willing to say you believe in me, then I will tell my Father in heaven that you belong to me.” Mat 10:32

33. Do you want to meet Jesus as your savior right now? Do you believe He died to save you from your sins & that He rose from the dead? Do you believe that He is waiting to save you right now? Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner & need your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins. I now turn from sin. Come into my heart I pray.

34. “But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God.” John 1:12

36. What did you learn today? What is the meaning of the name-tag? What have you neen thinking about God lately? What do you want to tell the world about Jesus? “If you openly say, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved.” Rom. 10:9

37. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you… …Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.” James 4:8 WNT

38. Close in Prayer
