Don't Settle - Neil Smith - 05 July 2026

Today, I wanna talk to you on the thought of don't

settle.

You know, here's the question I have for you.

How do we become comfortable with being uncomfortable? You see, we live in a world that's so full of hedonism and trying to be comfortable that we actually miss the point of the Word of God, which actually tells us, consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, when you go through trials of every kind.

I don't know about you, whether you're here or you're online, I don't really wake up and go, Lord, bring on another trial.

Thank you, Lord.

But the Bible is actually saying that our lives aren't about comfort.

They're not about personal gain.

They're actually about positioning ourselves for the purpose that Jesus has given each one of us.

So today I wanna stir you because you've just taken a miracle offering.

I had the privilege of being at your 20th anniversary service in Malaysia just recently.

That's not the end.

That's just a foundation of the beginning of what God wants to do in and through you.

So today...

Turn to the person next to you and say, stop being so comfortable.

Stop whinging about whether it's cold or it's hot or it's this or it's that.

I got out of bed this morning at 7am and I went downstairs into the foyer and it was freezing.

I've just come from Europe, it was boiling.

I mean, I'm in Perth, West Australia, it's freezing.

I was in Europe, it's boiling.

I mean, what is going on?

Global warming, ooh,

you know.

It's funny when they talk.

Anyway, I won't get into that today.
