MAKE ROOM - CHARLOTTE GAMBILL

Main message: The sermon teaches that miracles often begin when people intentionally “make room” for God—by expanding their thinking, guarding their words, and creating space with their actions. The speaker says God can fill the spaces we create, and that making room can lead to unexpected blessing, provision, and even salvation.

Key points:

• Making room is a spiritual principle: the rooms we create are the rooms God can fill.
• The speaker uses the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 as an example of someone who made room in her home and life, leading to miracles.
• Making room starts in the mind: think beyond self-interest, scarcity, and current limitations.
• Making room also happens in the heart and mouth: what we say reveals what fills us, and words can either open or shut down blessing.
• The sermon warns against the “disease of assumption,” where people assume others will express gratitude or encouragement.
• Making room with our hands means living generously and staying open to what God wants to do through us.
• The message closes with an invitation to make room for Christ through salvation and surrender.
