Better is one day in God’s presence than a thousand anywhere else. In this powerful message from Psalm 84:10–11, Pastor Sam reveals the redemptive story behind the Sons of Korah—descendants of rebellion who became authors of worship. Though Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16 brought judgment, God’s grace redeemed the next generation, proving that past failure does not disqualify future worship. This sermon declares that God can judge rebellion without canceling destiny, confront sin without destroying the future, and discipline one generation without disqualifying the next. You’ll discover that redemption positions you closer than rebellion ever pushed you away, that broken legacies can become worshiping bloodlines, and that God does not need permission to bless, favor, or use your life. Rooted in Psalm 84, this message prophesies that 2026 will be a year defined by the presence of God, where good things come to those who dwell with Him, pursue righteousness, and live redeemed. Better is one day in His courts—and good things are coming your way.

Psychologist Linda Mintle, host of "The Dr. Linda Mintle Show," speaks into our anger-driven lives.  How does anger and resentment affect you, your health, your relationship?  What can break the cycle of anger and resentment?  Richard Kannwischer, author of "Cultivate," reminds us that even though you can make fruit grow, you can help make the conditions favorable for growth.  Are you doing that in your life for the fruit of the Spirit?

Today we’re wrapping up our One Word 2026 series with the final two invitations: enthusiastic and trusting. I wanted this whole month to feel unhurried—like space to look back on 2025 with gratitude, and then ask God, “How do You want to grow me in 2026?” And here’s what I’ve realized: enthusiasm isn’t something we manufacture by willpower. Real, lasting enthusiasm comes from being filled with God—and I love that the word itself traces back to that idea. If you’ve felt tired, distracted, discouraged, or even a little apathetic, I’m inviting you to consider what it would look like to be ardently alive, fueled by the Spirit. Then we talk about trust—because so many of us are carrying unknowns, losses, or things we can’t control. Trust is choosing to rely on God’s character when the outcome isn’t clear. We’ll look at Zacchaeus (Luke 19), the centurion (Matthew 8), and we’ll end with a reminder that God’s holiness means He is truly worthy of our trust.

What We Cover:

• Discover what “enthusiastic” originally meant—not just high energy, but being “in God” and Spirit-filled.

• Identify the real enemy of enthusiasm: indifference and apathy that grows when we’re overwhelmed and disconnected from God’s strength.

• Learn how spiritual enthusiasm shows up in real life through Zacchaeus: curiosity, bold response, generosity, and immediate heart-change in Jesus’ presence.

• Understand trust as steady reliance on God’s character, not on what you can control, predict, or prove.

• Be invited to name your modern “chariots and horses”—the things you’re tempted to rely on for security (money, approval, control, success, relationships, etc.).

• See what extraordinary faith looks like in the centurion: trusting Jesus’ authority without needing visible proof.

• Walk away with two simple affirmations to practice daily if either word becomes your focus for 2026.

Bible Verses Mentioned:

• Romans 12:11

• Luke 19

• Psalm 20:7

• Matthew 8:5–13
