God has good plans for us, but we still have a responsibility to tend what He has entrusted to us. Like a neglected vineyard that fills with thorns and loses its walls, our hearts need regular attention, not just a clean appearance on the outside. Keeping His Word before us, asking Him to examine our motives, and obeying in the areas we would rather avoid help us become faithful stewards. When He points out something that needs to change, we can receive His help and act without settling into condemnation.

God’s plans for us are good, but we have to seek Him with our whole heart and say yes to what He has called us to do. Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, we cannot stay inside the comfortable mold we have grown used to. Psalm 139 reminds us that we were wonderfully made with purpose, so shame and self-doubt cannot have the final word. Jesus refused every attempt to pull Him away from the Father’s will; we need the Word in our hearts and godly people around us as we follow Him.

Prodigal’s Heart | Tim Lee

Welcome to River Northwest Church. We trust this broadcast will bless you.

Jesus had one mission when He came to die for our sins. He came to seek and save what was lost. Many believers struggle with how to respond to prodigals when they finally return home. God the Father is calling us to a place of reconciliation and restoration, whether we identify more with the elder brother or the prodigal. Our Father and all of Heaven is rejoicing over one who repents…and so should you!!!

Welcome to River Northwest Church. We trust this message will bless you.

The Holy Spirit is a Person who desires a close, daily relationship with us as our Friend, Helper, and Comforter. He reveals Jesus, opens our understanding of God’s Word, and leads us into truth. As we welcome Him into the hidden places of our hearts, He helps us overcome the wounds and struggles that once controlled us, teaches us to forgive, and gives us the courage to follow Jesus completely.

To obey God is not merely to hear Him; it is to listen with the intention of putting His Word into practice. Deuteronomy 28 describes blessings that affect every area of our life when we choose to walk in obedience. That does not give us permission to make possessions the goal or to trust money as though it were our source. There will be moments when faithful sowing looks unreasonable, when generosity feels costly, and when the answer has not appeared yet. We keep obeying because the living God—not the economy, the job, or the amount in the account—is the One who supplies us. Blessing is not just what comes to us; it is what God is able to release through a life that keeps listening and saying yes.

Encouragement is more than being positive or saying something nice; it means coming alongside another person and lending strength where life has worn them thin. Jesus prayed for Peter before the pressure came, and He gave Peter an assignment on the other side of failure: when you return, strengthen your brethren. Barnabas lived that kind of ministry. He saw grace in Saul when the church was still afraid of him, opened a door for him, traveled with him, and kept believing that God’s calling could grow in another person.

Some believers carry a special gift of encouragement, but every member of the body can listen to the Holy Spirit, pray, speak life, send an encouraging text message, take time to visit someone, or simply just share what God has put on their heart when prompted by the Holy Spirit. When somebody keeps coming to mind, we should not assume the thought means nothing. Love moves, prayer moves, and a timely act of encouragement may be the very supply that helps a brother or sister stand.

Jesus never said it was wrong to have a barn, a savings account, or more than enough. The warning in the story of the rich fool is what happened inside the man when increase came: every plan was about himself, his comfort, and what he could store, with no thought of God or anybody else. Being rich toward God means remembering that what comes into our hands still belongs to Him. We are stewards, not owners, and that changes the way we look at money, possessions, time, and opportunity.

Instead of asking only what we can keep, we learn to ask the Holy Spirit where we can sow, whom we can help, and what part of the Kingdom our supply is meant to strengthen. Generosity is not limited to money; sometimes the thing God has put in our hand is a meal, a skill, a vehicle, a room, or the willingness to show up. The goal is not to chase riches, but to become the kind of people—and the kind of church—God can trust to be rich toward Him.

God loves us, but we have to let that love get down into the roots of our lives. Offense can change the way we hear people and slowly pull us away from the church, so we need the humility to let God search our hearts and show us what is really there. When we remember how much Jesus has forgiven us, it becomes a lot harder to keep score with everyone else.

God is our source, so work does not have to be driven by panic, lack, or the pressure to make life happen in our own strength. Jesus’ warning about the rich fool shows why blessing cannot end in bigger barns; the first seed we sow is ourselves, and everything in our hands belongs to His Kingdom. Faithfulness means working, tithing, giving, and obeying from love while refusing to quit when the harvest is slow. The Father knows what we need. He also teaches us to seek His Kingdom first, remain content where we are, and to continue believing for His promises.
