The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

“If God can bring a King out of a stable, He can bring hope out of your situation.”

God is not limited by circumstances

Christmas proves God works through unlikely beginnings

THE STABLE WAS NOT A LIMITATION

Jesus was born in a stable, not a palace

God chose the stable on purpose

Scripture: Luke 2:7

What looks like limitation can become the place of God’s work

GOD USES UNLIKELY PLACES

God consistently works through unexpected people and places

Moses → wilderness (Exodus 3:1–4)

David → shepherd field (1 Samuel 16:11–13)

Gideon → hiding place (Judges 6:11–12)

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27

YOUR SITUATION CAN BIRTH HOPE

Situations that feel messy, broken, or uncomfortable

God draws near in these moments

Scripture: Psalm 34:18

Scripture: Isaiah 43:19

God is not finished with your story

HOPE IS BORN WHERE FAITH TRUSTS GOD

Faith invites God into ordinary spaces

Hope grows as trust increases

Scripture: Romans 15:13

The stable hosted heaven because God was present

Invite God into your situation today

Trust God’s ability over your environment

Speak hope and faith over your life

Scripture: Job 22:28

God can bring hope out of any situation

Your season is not wasted

Hope is still being born

Make today count by trusting God right where you are
