Hook: Can you think of a time when one door of opportunity closed in your life only to allow a better door to open? What emotions did you endure during the wait?

Book: After rejection in His hometown, Jesus moved to make Capernaum His center of ministry. As the quote from Isaiah predicted, the rejection in Nazareth allowed Him to take the message to the Gentiles in Galilee. When a door shuts, God opens another to fulfill His purposes. Sometimes the Father pushes people into fresh opportunities to help people living in darkness see a great light.

Took: When a door closes, how could you position yourself to see God’s new opportunity?
