Eat Your Bite of the Elephant

A Message About Faithful Steps and Daily Obedience

Big challenges can feel overwhelming. God-sized callings can seem impossible. Life’s struggles, responsibilities, and spiritual growth often leave us wondering, “Where do I even begin?”

In this message, “Eat Your Bite of the Elephant,” we’re reminded of a simple but powerful truth: the way forward is not all at once, but one faithful step at a time. Growth in Christ doesn’t happen through dramatic leaps alone — it happens through consistent obedience, daily faithfulness, and trusting God with each small step.

This sermon encourages us to:

Stop being paralyzed by the size of the challenge
Focus on what God has placed directly in front of us today
Trust that small acts of obedience add up to lasting transformation
Keep moving forward, even when progress feels slow

Whether you’re facing a difficult season, a daunting responsibility, or a spiritual goal that feels out of reach, this message offers practical encouragement rooted in biblical wisdom: do what you can today, and trust God with the rest.

When we “eat our bite of the elephant,” we discover that God uses steady faithfulness to accomplish extraordinary things.
