Pericope: John 10:7-10 ESV - 7 So Jesus again said to them,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who
came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not
listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be
saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes
only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life
and have it abundantly.

Sermon Title: More<Less… 7 Steps to MORE in 24
The first order of business as we launch off into this year of More
in 24 is get you out of debt. So lets start with that.
Step 1: More is held captive by debt.
Prov. 22: 7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.
Definition of debt…time subtracted from your life. Time is money
and you only have a certain amount of tie to accumulate money.
Ps 90:10a - 10 Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
Now subtract a 30 year mortgage. Subtract 5-7 year car note.
Subtract credit and debt 10 year.

Step 2: More is held captive by fear. Matthew 25:28-30 ESV - 28
So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten
talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he
will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what
he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into
the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.’
Fear will cause you not to invest rather feed your future with…
John 2;16 NIV - 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these
out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”
FOMO will cause you to use your money into stuff that does not
increase in value.
Step 3: More is held captive by stinking thinking – Prov.
29:18ESV - 18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast
off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
What are you prophesizing over your life
Prov. 29:18 New Living Translation
18 When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.
But whoever obeys the law is joyful.
The Message 18 If people can’t see what God is doing,
they stumble all over themselves;
But when they attend to what he reveals,
they are most blessed.
Today I am giving you guidance
Stop stumbling
Step 4: More n 24 obedience release more
Interview with Vivian and Sam
Pro. 10: 22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
without painful toil for it.
Step 5: More n 24 is a step of faith
2 Cor. 5:7KJV - 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Everything you get from God comes by faith.
More faith by more faith
James 2:17-23 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by
my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the
demons believe that—and shudder.
20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without
deeds is useless? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered
righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the
altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working
together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And
the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and
it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s
friend.
Step 6: More in 24 is generosity to others
Prov. 19:17 17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will reward them for what they have done.
Step 7: More in 24 is consistent Josh 1: 8 Keep this Book of the
Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you
may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be
prosperous and successful.
