When was the last time you led someone to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ? The angels rejoice in heaven over the salvation of just one soul. Let’s pray for a fire in our hearts—that God would give us a strong desire to bring others to Him. We can make an eternal difference in their lives!

We can't know if we'll like a new food—unless we taste it! It's the same with the Lord. That's why the psalmist told us, "Taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8). How do we do that? Whatever weighs us down and hurts us we can give to God, and we will taste and see how good He is. He is faithful! Let’s experience God’s goodness today. Psalm 34:8

What makes your favorite athletes so good? They’re faithful to the game. That’s how God wants us to be in our relationship with Him—constant, devoted, steadfast. Immature faith wavers with circumstances, bobbing up and down. A steadfast spirit trusts in God at all times. Let’s pray for steady faith as we spiritually root our lives in Him. Psalm 51:1–19

God wants to bless us—and then make us a blessing. But for that to happen, we have to live by faith. That's how Abraham lived. When God told him to leave everything he knew, Abraham went, having no idea where he was going. He believed God. Will you leave behind the old and follow God into all He has for you today?

When pressure threatens, where do you lean? King Asa leaned on the strength of an army when he should have leaned on God—and it led to ruin. But God is drawn to the heart that trusts Him. When we truly depend on the Lord, He promises to show Himself strong on our behalf.

Ever wonder why some Christians burn bright and others barely flicker? It comes down to the fire of the Holy Spirit. Without it, churches grow cold, Christians get stuck, and pastors just go through the motions. This sermon is a wake-up call to stop making excuses and start desperately seeking the Spirit of God, who sets everything ablaze.

Jesus is coming back! The Bible tells us that no one knows the hour or day when He will call us to be with Him—it will as fast as the blink of an eye. Are we ready? Are we living every day as though Jesus could call us home at any minute? In this world full of tribulations, we can live with peace and purpose. We rest assured knowing God will take care of us and He has a future planned for us. 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11

A lot of people who go to church think, "You do good, you get good." But that totally misses the concept of salvation. We can never be good enough to get into heaven. Rather, if we simply repent of our sin and then trust Jesus as our Savior, heaven is where we’re going! All the law does is tell us we’re a mess. But when we look to Jesus, we see our Savior.

People's hearts are so darkened. If we are going to make an impact on people with the gospel, we need God working with us and in us. Let's start praying for that more—we're working for Him, and now we can depend on Him to work for us.

Waiting can be the hardest part of faith. We’ve all experienced prayer fatigue—the person or situation we have been praying for hasn’t changed, and we get discouraged. One hero of the faith, George Mueller, spent decades praying before he saw change in others. God wants us to build up an arsenal of prayer for those heavy on our hearts. Let’s lift them up every day and never give up.
