What happens when we stop counting what we're missing and start counting what God has done?

In this episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Morris continues the Better Than I Deserve series with an encouraging look at Psalm 103 and David's reminder to “forget not all His benefits.”

It's easy to remember the disappointment, the unanswered prayer, the closed door, or the difficult season. But sometimes we need to stop and remember the goodness and faithfulness of God.

The old hymn Count Your Blessings gives us a simple challenge: count them, name them, and remember what the Lord has done.

This week, Morris gives you some homework:

Write down the things God has done for you.

Your answered prayers.

Your second chances.

The people He's placed in your life.

The doors He's opened.

The battles He's brought you through.

And as you begin to count, you may discover something you've overlooked:

You've been blessed more than you've been noticing.

Don't let someone else's blessing make you blind to yours.

Don't just count your problems.

Count your blessings.

And remember:

You are blessed and loved.

By God's amazing grace, you're living better than you deserve.

Sometimes we need to stop and look at the bigger picture.

In this special bridge episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Pastor Morris reflects on the first three messages in the Better Than I Deserve series:

Grace Changes Everything.
The Gift of Another Day.
Enough.

Together, these messages remind us that God's grace has given us what we could never earn, every new day is a gift, and no matter what circumstances we face, Christ is enough.

But what happens when we put those truths together?

We begin to see our lives differently.

Instead of constantly asking, “What am I missing?” we begin asking, “What has God already given me?”

And that leads us into the next message in the series: “Count Your Blessings,” based on Psalm 103.

David reminds us to “forget not all His benefits.”

So before you listen to the next message, Pastor Morris has a challenge:

Make a list.

Write down what God has done.

The prayers He's answered.

The doors He's opened.

The people He's placed in your life.

The battles He's brought you through.

The blessings you sometimes take for granted.

Because when you start counting...

you may discover you've been blessed more than you've been noticing.

And remember:

You are blessed and loved.

By God's amazing grace...

you're living better than you deserve.

How much is enough?

In this episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Pastor Morris continues the Better Than I Deserve series with a practical and encouraging look at Philippians 4:11–13 and the powerful lesson of learning contentment.

Paul said, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.”

Whether he had plenty or very little, Paul discovered the secret: his circumstances didn't determine his contentment because Christ was enough.

Pastor Morris talks about the danger of comparison, the difference between having much and having enough, and how gratitude can change the way we see our lives.

You don't have to stop dreaming, believing, or trusting God for more. But you don't have to postpone today's joy while waiting for tomorrow's blessing.

Contentment isn't saying, “I don't want anything else.”

Contentment is saying, “Whatever else comes, Christ is already enough.”

So wherever you are today, remember: You are blessed and loved.

And by God's amazing grace... you're living better than you deserve.

Listen, be encouraged, and keep moving forward!

What if waking up this morning is more than just another day?

It’s a gift.

In this episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Pastor Morris continues the Better Than I Deserve series with an encouraging reminder from Lamentations 3:22–23: “His mercies are new every morning.”

Every morning brings new mercy, new opportunity, and another chance to experience the grace of God.

Using the picture of 24 golden boxcars arriving each day—one hour at a time, Pastor Morris encourages us not to waste today's moments worrying about tomorrow or replaying yesterday.

Yesterday may have been difficult.

Tomorrow may still be uncertain.

But today is a gift.

In this episode, you'll be encouraged to:

• Recognize each new morning as an expression of God's grace.
• Stop allowing yesterday's mistakes to steal today's joy.
• Trust God with tomorrow while faithfully living today.
• Look for God's purpose in ordinary moments.
• Begin each morning with gratitude and expectation.

And remember:

You are blessed and loved.

Because of Jesus, you are loved, forgiven, accepted, blessed, chosen, and His child.

So receive today's gift.

Walk in today's grace.

Trust God with tomorrow.

And remember...

You are deeply loved, richly blessed, and by God's amazing grace...you're living better than you deserve.

Until next time...

Keep moving forward.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we planned.

Dreams change. Doors close. Unexpected detours leave us wondering what God is doing.

In this first episode of Season Two, Pastor Morris shares a message of hope for anyone walking through disappointment or uncertainty. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 8:28, he reminds us that while we may not always understand God's plan, we can always trust His heart.

If you've ever wondered why life took an unexpected turn, this episode will encourage you to keep trusting the God who never stops working behind the scenes.

Scripture

Proverbs 3:5–6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding..."

In This Episode:

•  Why disappointment doesn't mean God has abandoned you 
•  Trusting God's direction when life takes an unexpected turn 
•  The grace of God's "recalculating" moments 
•  Finding hope even when the story isn't unfolding as planned 

Key Takeaway

Don't judge God's faithfulness by one chapter. He's still writing your story.

Have you ever wondered if you were making the right decision?

Whether you're facing a career change, a family decision, a ministry opportunity, or simply trying to discern God's will for your life, you're not alone.

In this episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Morris shares encouragement from James 1:5 and reminds us that God delights in giving wisdom to those who ask. Just as a GPS recalculates when we miss a turn, our Heavenly Father faithfully guides us, redirects us, and positions us for His purpose.

You don't have to know the entire journey to take the next faithful step. God promises to lead those who trust Him.

Scripture

James 1:5
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without finding fault..."

In This Episode:

•  Why God is our ultimate "GPS"—God's Positioning System 
•  How to seek wisdom instead of relying on fear 
•  Why God often reveals the next step instead of the whole journey 
•  Finding peace when you're making important decisions 

Key Takeaway:
You don't have to know every turn in the road. You simply need to follow the One who does.

We've all experienced moments we wish we could do over.

A wrong decision.
A wrong turn.
A missed opportunity.
A failure we can't seem to forget.

In this episode of Momentum with Morris Mott, Pastor Morris reminds us that while mistakes are part of life, they do not have to define our future.

Drawing from David's heartfelt prayer in Psalm 51, this encouraging message reveals the restoring power of God's grace. When we come honestly before the Lord, we discover that forgiveness is real, restoration is possible, and our story is far from over.

Key Takeaways:

• Failure is an event, not your identity.
• God's grace is greater than your greatest mistake.
• Forgiveness leads to freedom.
• Your next step matters more than your last stumble.

Scripture:

Psalm 51:10

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."

No matter where you've been, God's grace can lead you forward. Your story isn't over.
