Have you ever stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls? These sites may incite fear in your heart, but it’s a mix of awe and respect in contrast to how small and weak you are. As Pastor Dave will point out today, the fear we have of God is similar. We don’t fear Him because He’s cruel, but because He’s sovereign.

All too often, we focus on what we lose or miss out on when we follow Jesus. The enemy frequently tries to bring these things to our attention. But, as Pastor Dave will remind us in today’s message, what we get from following Jesus is so much better. We get everlasting hope, peace, and strength in Him.

Each one of us was like that at one point. When you look at our world today, it’s like watching a field of grain with shifting winds. One moment, opinion trends one direction, and the next it bends the opposite. As Pastor Dave will remind us today, Christ offers a steadfast foundation for us to stand steady against these shifts in culture. 

When you think about the incredible grace of God, demonstrated in His Son, Jesus, your heart naturally wells up with strong emotions. In today’s message, we begin our study of the book of Psalms with Pastor Dave. In this book, we see the hearts of men modeling vulnerable, genuine praise, and we can follow their example.

You might believe you have the strength to turn away from all those tempting desires. But how often do you really manage to pull that off? Have you realised that you might be stuck in a bit of a bind? Today, Pastor Dave shares how Jesus is the only one who can wash away your sins and bring you back to wholeness!

Pastor Dave shared a really intriguing analogy! Just like a rubber band, God works on you from the inside, reshaping who you are. But if you release your grip, you often find yourself slipping back into your old ways. Today, Pastor Dave invites you to dive into a journey of surrendering your life to God’s will, wholeheartedly!

We live in a world where we can make our own decisions, and this was by design. God didn’t create us to be robots; He gave us free will because He wanted us to choose Him. Even after we sinned, God still made a way for us to come back to Him. So today, Pastor Dave reminds you that with Jesus, He offers you His grace.

Isn’t it amazing to know that we worship a God who desires to be with us? God loves us so much that He decided to send His own Son to take our place on the cross, even though we didn’t deserve it. Today, Pastor Dave reminds us that it’s because of the grace of God that you and I are redeemed in Christ.

In our journey with God, we can sometimes forget that each day we live is a miracle. Our days are limited, and eventually, we will return to be with our Heavenly Father. But if you are hearing this message, Pastor Dave encourages you to thank God for how far He has brought you and to share His Word with everyone who will listen.

As we walk in this world, it can be really intimidating to share the Word of God with people, especially those you don’t know. But today, Pastor Dave wants you to remember that before you were saved, you were like everyone else in the world: lost. That’s why they need the Word of God, and it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.
