You’re Not Lacking—You’re Just Not Using What You Have | The Gospel of Matthew

About this episode

This episode discusses how individuals often feel they lack resources, but the real issue may be not utilizing what they already possess.

Most people feel like they’re missing something—more talent, more opportunity, more time. But what if that’s not actually the problem? What if you already have what you need, and the real issue is you’re just not using it? This message explores why we compare ourselves, hold back, and underestimate what’s already in our hands. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or unsure where to start, this might shift how you see your life. You don’t need more—you need to start. -- Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/ Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribe Download the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/ If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!
