A brief bit of encouragement for the journey from God's Word. Today's Scripture reading: Nahum 3 To support this devotional ministry: https://faithbaptiststerling.com/give/ Music: "Awaken the Dawn" by Stanton Lanier https://www.stantonlanier.com CCLI #20109360

This devotional explores the theological and practical implications of the Fourth Commandment through the lens of the Heidelberg Catechism, emphasizing that the Sabbath is a gift for gratitude rather than a burden for earning righteousness. The central message urges believers to prioritize the Lord's Day as the anchor of the week, gathering diligently to hear God's Word, participate in the sacraments, and engage in corporate prayer and fellowship. By citing passages from Deuteronomy, Acts, Colossians, Hebrews, and Romans, the sermon highlights how corporate worship fosters faith, instructs children, and strengthens the community against neglect. The tone is pastoral and instructional, encouraging listeners to view Sunday not as the end of the weekend but as the beginning of a week devoted to God. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of rest from evil works and active participation in the church's life to begin the eternal Sabbath in the present.

Greetings and welcome! This is our daily devotional for November 4, 2026. Today, we step away from our Exodus series and turn to Psalm 146 for a timely reminder of faith and hope for the future. Thanks for joining us!

God's Word calls Christians to give thanks in all circumstances. In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains how gratitude helps believers resist grumbling, entitlement, fear, and cynicism by remembering God's character, promises, and saving grace in Jesus Christ. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, Romans 1, Philippians 4, Colossians, and Ephesians 6, Dave considers thanksgiving as an expression of faith and dependence on God. He also explains how gratitude shapes biblical discernment, helping Christians distinguish truth from error, recognize faithfulness, and correct others with humility and love. The episode closes with seven practical encouragements for cultivating gratitude through prayer, remembering the gospel, encouraging others, and participating faithfully in the life of the local church. Christians can grieve honestly while continuing to give thanks for the mercy of belonging to Christ.

DON'T EVEN INQUIRE! Graced, Gathered, Guided, and Grown by God Scripture: Deuteronomy 10:12–22; 11:1–32; 12:29–32 Central Truth: God is fully able to grace, gather, guide, and grow His people in the very world where He has planted them, without requiring them to adopt the world's ways. His unfailing love deserves our wholehearted trust, devotion, and obedience. The message reveals the remarkable faithfulness of God in taking seventy people into Egypt and multiplying them into a great multitude. Despite generations of bondage, oppression, and opposition, God fulfilled His promise to Abraham. Egypt did not produce their greatness, nor could Pharaoh prevent their growth. The Lord Himself was their source. He redeemed them, gathered them into a nation, and began teaching them how to live as a people belonging to Him. In Deuteronomy 10:12–13, Moses reminds Israel that God's extraordinary mercy calls for a reasonable and affirmative response: to fear Him, love Him, walk in His ways, and serve Him wholeheartedly. Their obedience was not the means of earning His love but the proper response to having received it. This same principle is revealed in Romans 12:1–2, where believers are called to present themselves as living sacrifices because of God's mercies. Leviticus 18 establishes an essential distinction. Israel was not to live according to the practices of Egypt, where they had been, or Canaan, where they were going. God had already provided another way to live—His way. Through His Word, His presence, and His instructions, He was preparing a people to walk with Him rather than depend upon the customs and influences surrounding them. This leads to the central warning of D
