Mike Harrelson - January 4th 2026

Confidence in the Lord comes from making your one thing the first thing.

In this New Year message, Mike leads us through Psalm 27, where David models a confidence that is not rooted in certainty of circumstances, but in clarity of desire. Surrounded by adversity, threat, and uncertainty, David anchors his life around a single request: to dwell in the house of the Lord and gaze upon His beauty. Mike shows how life’s uneasiness—fear, distraction, anxiety, coping mechanisms, and unanswered questions—often reveal what we’ve made our “one thing.”

This message explores how beauty calms the soul, why creation alone cannot satisfy our deepest longings, and how the beauty of redemption—fulfilled fully in Christ—transforms us as we behold Him. Drawing connections from the Garden of Eden to the tabernacle, from David to Mary and Martha, and ultimately to Jesus Himself, Mike calls us to reorder our lives around intentional presence with God, not transaction or multitasking.

As we step into a new year filled with uncertainty, this sermon invites us to stop striving for answers and instead pursue access to a Person. When we make Jesus our one thing, confidence rises—not because life is easy, but because He is with us, lifting our heads above every hardship.
