Building Faith in the Next GenerationFaith reaches the next generation when we tell what God has done, live His Word, and help others learn to serve Him. God works in us so that His work can continue through us.
Pastor Dale Callen reminded us that the next generation includes our children and grandchildren, but it also includes people of any age who are new to faith. They need to hear our testimony and see what faithfulness looks like in daily life.
A Church Gathered to Praise
The church is more than a building. We are the church, and we gather to worship the Lord, receive His Word, and encourage one another.
We opened the service with praise, clapping our hands and rejoicing in what God has done. We also prayed for Sister Vicki and her family, asking God to give them guidance and rest.
As we sang about the blood of Jesus, we gave thanks for salvation, healing, and freedom from sin. Psalm 22:16-18 points to His suffering and the dividing of His garments, while Isaiah 53:5 speaks of Him being wounded for our transgressions. The Old Testament points us to Jesus and the price He paid for us.
Testimonies Shared in Faith
Before the message, members of our church family shared what God had placed on their hearts. Emily thanked God that her son, who serves in the Navy, reminded her that her body is a temple of the Lord.
Another testimony described a meeting with the judge who had helped when a child was missing. That meeting gave our sisters an opportunity to pray with the judge as she faced grief. Sister Tammy also told us about praying with a grieving caller through her work.
One sister shared how her mother anointed her face in obedience to God when she was a child and had a tumor. She carries the scar as a reminder of the healing God gave her. These testimonies of faith remind us that we don’t have to stand behind a pulpit to minister to someone.
A New Life in Christ
Pastor Dale spoke about growing up with abuse, addiction, and turmoil in his family. He explained that he wasn’t homegrown in the church from his physical birth, but from his new birth in Christ.
The Lord made him a new creation and began breaking the cycles that had marked his childhood. His testimony reminds us that what happened in our past doesn’t have to define who we become in Christ.
Dale’s earlier message centered on Philippians 1:6, which tells us that God will continue the good work He began. This time, he challenged us to consider what we are building for those who come after us.
Psalm 145:4 says, “One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.” That is a responsibility we must take seriously.
Tell the Next Generation What God Has Done
Our children, friends, coworkers, and new believers need to hear how the Lord has saved us, kept us through hardship, healed our hearts, and answered prayer. When we share our testimony, we give others a witness of God’s faithfulness in the struggles they may also face.
We don’t need to hide what Christ delivered us from out of fear that mentioning it gives Satan power over us. Jesus is our Deliverer, and our testimony should point others to Him.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 tells us to keep God’s words in our hearts and teach them diligently to our children. That teaching continues at home, at work, and in difficult moments.
Dale remembered an atheist coworker who noticed the difference between how two Christians responded to a hard night at work. The conversation opened a door to speak about spiritual maturity. People are watching how we live, even when we don’t realize it.
Give New Believers an Example
2 Timothy 2:2 describes truth being entrusted to faithful people who can teach others. Paul taught Timothy, Timothy could teach faithful people, and those people could teach others. This is how teaching continues through generations.
Younger believers need more than someone to point out what they’re doing wrong. They need people who will pray with them, serve beside them, show them how to study Scripture, and share what God has taught them through their own mistakes.
A new Christian may not know every verse, but that person can tell someone what Jesus has done. We should encourage the gifts God is developing and help new believers grow in truth and obedience.
Make Room to Serve
If we say we want young people and new believers in the church, we must also help prepare them to serve. Training and character matter, and so does giving people an opportunity to use what God has given them.
David wasn’t a seasoned soldier when he faced Goliath. He trusted the God who had already helped him face a lion and a bear. We should help younger believers learn to trust God and prepare for the work before them.
Dale urged us to build a prayer life before a crisis comes and to teach others to do the same. We also need to show them that service doesn’t depend on a title. The Kingdom of God matters more than being noticed, and our lives can witness for Jesus even when we aren’t standing at a pulpit.
Teach Faith Beyond Church Routines
Judges 2:10 describes a generation that didn’t know the Lord or what He had done for Israel. Dale used this passage to warn us that faith cannot be assumed. It must be taught.
Our children can know the songs and the church schedule without knowing the Savior. They need a personal relationship with Jesus, and they need to understand why His Word matters in their lives.
We must give young believers room to ask honest questions, receive Godly correction, and encounter the Holy Spirit. When we hear a message, we should also consider how God is speaking to us through it, whether He is teaching us, warning us, or reminding us of His faithfulness.
Leave a Legacy of Faithfulness
A legacy includes what we leave in people. We may never leave great wealth or have a public platform, but we can pass on faith, courage, wisdom, and a love for God’s Word.
Proverbs 22:6 calls us to train a child in the way he should go. Training takes intention. We lead by example, explain why our choices matter, and guide younger believers toward Godly decisions.
Dale reminded us that holiness is protection, not punishment, and that God’s purpose for a life matters more than popularity. The world offers plenty to distract and isolate people, so we must stay connected to the body of Christ and help one another remain faithful.
Build a Foundation for Those Who Follow
The next generation will be influenced by something. We have a responsibility to speak God’s truth and show others what it means to follow Him.
Dale invited anyone who needed to know Christ or return to Him to come for prayer. We joined hands in unity and prayed that God would remind us of our testimonies, so we could use them to encourage others.
Our faithfulness can become part of the foundation that helps the next generation know Jesus and carry His Word forward. […]
Rejection Can Hurt, but It Doesn’t Define YouRejection can wound you, but it doesn’t have to define you. When someone refuses or excludes you, the pain can reach your confidence and your sense of belonging.
As believers, we can bring that pain to God, receive His correction when it’s needed, and trust that He remains with us. Human rejection cannot cancel God’s acceptance.
We see that truth in Scripture and in the testimonies shared among our church family.
Testimonies of Provision and Waiting
Brother Gene shared that someone paid his School of Ministry bill in full. He and his wife had been facing financial difficulties, and that gift meant they could continue attending.
Brother Jeremy celebrated 90 days at his new job as a plant manager. He tells new employees that he wants to lead like Christ as a servant leader, and he seeks to lead his team with faith and structure when work becomes stressful.
Sister Sherrod spoke about a season of transition. While praying for direction, she felt the Lord impress on her that some things become dormant before they live again. Her encouragement was to keep holding on during a season of waiting on God.
A Prayer for More of God
Before the message, we worshiped and prayed together. Sister Michelle shared a song she wrote about coming to the Lord with questions and without all the answers.
She reminded us that Psalm 16:11 speaks of fullness of joy in God’s presence. The prayer at the heart of her song was, “Jesus, I don’t need more of me. I just need more of you.”
When we don’t understand what God is doing, we can still come into His presence and ask for more of Him.
What Rejection Can and Cannot Do
Rejection means refusing to accept, approve, use, or believe someone or something. It can also mean being excluded or abandoned. The word can even describe turning away from God’s truth and authority.
Being rejected by a parent, spouse, friend, church, or employer can make us question our worth. It hurts because it can affect how we see ourselves.
Some rejection is unjust, including rejection for standing for Christ. At other times, our own behavior may be part of the problem. Scripture also shows us that God can work through rejection for His purpose.
Rejection may wound us, but it doesn’t have to define us.
Joseph’s Rejection Didn’t Stop God’s Plan
Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him. They planned to kill him, threw him into a pit, and sold him into slavery. Later, he was falsely accused and put in prison.
Yet Genesis 39:2 tells us the Lord was with Joseph. Even when the cupbearer forgot him for a time, God had not forgotten him.
Joseph eventually became second in command in Egypt and helped prepare for a famine. When his brothers came seeking food, Joseph told them in Genesis 45:5 that God had sent him ahead to preserve life.
Joseph couldn’t see the whole plan while he was in the pit or the prison. God was with him through it all.
Jesus Understands Rejection
Jesus is our greatest example. Isaiah 53:3 describes Him as despised and rejected, while 1 Peter 2:4 calls Him rejected by men but chosen and precious to God.
His own didn’t receive Him. Religious leaders rejected Him, Judas betrayed Him, and His disciples abandoned Him after His arrest. Jesus knows the pain of rejection because He experienced it Himself.
Jesus also knew what He faced when He came to earth. He endured rejection and the cross as part of God’s plan to bring salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The love God has shown us is beyond what we can fully understand.
Human Rejection Cannot Cancel God’s Acceptance
Family rejection can be especially painful. Yet Psalm 27:10 says that even if father and mother forsake us, the Lord will take us in.
In Isaiah 43:1, the Lord tells Israel that He has redeemed them, called them by name, and claimed them as His own. We can take comfort in knowing that the God who redeemed us knows where we are.
You are the Lord’s. What someone says or does to you cannot stop Him from working.
Be Willing to Look in the Mirror
Not every rejection is persecution. Sometimes it is feedback, and we need to ask God whether there is something in our conduct He wants to change.
Do we dominate conversations, interrupt others, or insist on the last word? Are jealousy and a negative attitude affecting our relationships? If we keep having the same conflict at different jobs or with different people, we need to look honestly at the pattern.
We also spoke about practical things such as personal hygiene and strong perfume. These aren’t meant to shame anyone. They are things to consider when we want to care for the people around us.
Philippians 2:3-4 calls us to humility and to look to the interests of others. Matthew 7:3-5 tells us to deal with the log in our own eye before pointing out the speck in someone else’s.
We can pray the words of Psalm 139:23-24, asking God to search our hearts. We must also be willing to receive correction from someone who comes to us in love.
Faith During Job Loss
Jeremy’s Testimony
Jeremy described the difficulty of losing a job and going through interviews without receiving an offer. He was used to succeeding, so those repeated rejections were hard to face.
He began spending more of his time seeking God. During that season, he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He later accepted the plant manager position he spoke about, a job he described as a better fit.
Mandy’s Testimony
Sister Mandy shared that she lost her job after 14 years when funding for her program ended. She had expected to retire there, and the loss came alongside grief over other family losses.
She held on to Isaiah 61:7 and kept praying, even when she didn’t understand why things had happened. Her testimony reminds us that faith can hold on while the emotions are still difficult.
Prayer and Support for Our Church Family
We prayed for Brother Gene before his heart procedure, for his nephew who has liver disease, and for Kim, an online viewer who requested prayer for pain.
An illustrative scene of a church prayer gathering.
We also gathered around Brother Joe, who had faced repeated job rejections over many years. We prayed for him, encouraged him to keep trusting God, and collected an offering as a gesture of Christian love.
Hold On to Who You Are in Christ
Rejection hurts, but it doesn’t determine your identity in Christ. Bring the hurt to the Lord, and let Him search your heart.
God was with Joseph in the pit and in the prison. He has not forgotten His people in the waiting. […]
Standing on Faith Through Trials and PrayerWhen the path ahead changes, we can trust God to direct our steps. A closed door can leave you feeling uncertain, but faith keeps you standing on what God has said rather than what you can see.
We heard testimonies of unexpected changes, healing, and urgent needs in our gathering. Through each one, we were reminded to bring our families and our circumstances before the Lord.
God Directs Each Step
We may look back on our lives and see that things didn’t turn out the way we once imagined. Yet God has been faithful through every season, and His Word reminds us who directs our path.
“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)
One brother shared that he had worked in the same place for 11 years when he realized that door was closing. He hadn’t expected a job change, and the meetings and circumstances around him made that season uncomfortable. He prayed and asked the Lord if he had made a wrong turn.
The Lord showed him that a new season had come. He described the uncertainty as feeling like he was standing on thin air, but when we place our trust in God, we are standing on faith. The Lord has not forgotten us when the road changes.
Testimonies of God’s Help
Before worship, several members of our church family shared what God had done in their lives.
Provision and healing
One sister received a message that she had lost a job she had held for three years. She remembered Pastor Terry’s teaching about responding to rejection with redirection, and within 24 hours she had another job that she described as even better.
Another sister testified that she had found a lump in her breast, but when she went for an examination, the doctors couldn’t find it. A third woman shared that her neck pain had stopped and that her chiropractor had seen improvement. She continued to believe God for healing in the rest of her body.
Help in an urgent moment
April shared that she became dizzy while working, and a coworker who wasn’t normally there helped her get medical attention. At the hospital, she learned she had experienced an episode of supraventricular tachycardia, with a heart rate of 199.
Tests showed no visible damage to her heart. Although a procedure was still being considered, April thanked God that someone was there to help before she understood how serious the situation was.
We also remember the Kingdom Builders testimonies shared on another occasion. Sister Shelby spoke of serving the Lord for seven decades, and Lewis shared how he prayed with a mechanic after feeling led to meet him. These testimonies remind us to give God praise for His faithfulness.
Speak the Name of Jesus
The testimonies led us into praise and prayer. We prayed for healing, deliverance, new direction, and loved ones who need salvation. We sang and spoke the name of Jesus over fear, sickness, families, and every difficult situation.
The Scripture also gives us the order for resisting the enemy. James 4:7 tells us to submit ourselves to God and resist the devil. Submission to God is part of our daily walk. We cannot live in complacency and expect to stand against the enemy while refusing the Lord’s direction.
We cannot save our loved ones by our own strength, but we know the One who can. We continue to pray and speak the name of Jesus over their lives, trusting in the power of the name of Jesus.
Pray for Children and Families
During the service, we gathered around a family whose 16-year-old daughter was in the hospital after taking pills. Her mother asked for prayer, and our church family prayed for her daughter to live, to know God’s love, and to be free from the struggles she was facing.
We also prayed for another mother and her sons. The encouragement given to both families was to pray against harmful outside influences and ask God to place Godly friends around their children.
One sister shared that she had prayed over the friendships in her own sons’ lives. Another remembered turning to John 17, where Jesus prayed for His disciples and asked the Father to keep them from evil. Our children must live in this world, and we can bring them before the Lord in prayer.
Bring Every Need Before the Lord
We continued to pray for members of our church family with health concerns. We prayed for Tim’s throat and heartburn, for Bev’s voice, and for Joe’s back. We also prayed for Tom, who had been hospitalized with a heart condition and was awaiting further testing.
These needs were not treated lightly. We brought them before God together, believing that He hears prayer and asking Him to strengthen each person and family.
Prayer continues beyond one gathering. Pamela has shared that she prays each night for her family and church family. Steve also began seeking the Holy Ghost after seeing her speak in tongues, as shared in these testimonies of freedom through faith in Jesus.
Keep Standing in Faith
Trials and uncertainty do not mean that God has forgotten us. We can bring our needs to Him, submit ourselves to Him, and stand on His Word even while we wait.
The testimonies we heard gave us reason to praise, and the needs shared gave us reason to keep praying. The Lord is with us, and He hears His people when we call on His name. […]
How to Deal With Rejection as a ChristianRejection can wound you, but it doesn’t have to define you. When someone refuses or excludes you, the pain can reach your confidence, your sense of belonging, and even the way you see yourself.
As believers, we can bring that pain to God, receive His correction when it is needed, and trust Him to remain faithful. We begin with the truth that human rejection does not mean God has abandoned His children.
God Is Faithful in the Middle of Pain
Sister Vicki shared that when she was unable to walk, her husband bought her a cane and a walker. As she lay on the bed, she remembered the Lord’s promise that He would never leave her or forsake her.
The devil wants us to believe God has abandoned us, but God is a faithful Father. Sister Vicki’s testimony reminds us to hold on to God’s faithfulness in suffering and to believe that He can turn what the enemy meant for evil toward good.
What Rejection Can and Cannot Do
Rejection means refusing to accept, approve, use, or believe someone or something. When it comes from someone you love, the hurt may cause you to question your worth or wonder where you belong.
Sometimes rejection is unjust. You may be rejected because you stand for the Lord or refuse to follow others into something wrong. At other times, our own behavior may contribute to the situation. We must be willing to look honestly at how we treat people.
There are also times when God uses a closed door to redirect us. We don’t always see His purpose in the middle of the pain, but rejection by people does not cancel God’s care for His children.
Joseph’s Rejection Did Not Stop God’s Plan
Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him. They threw him into a pit and sold him into slavery. Later, he was falsely accused in Potiphar’s house and sent to prison.
Even there, God was with Joseph. After Joseph interpreted dreams in prison, the cupbearer eventually remembered him when Pharaoh needed an interpretation. Joseph was brought before Pharaoh and became second in command in Egypt, where he was positioned to help save lives.
Joseph’s example of faithfulness through betrayal shows that God was working when Joseph couldn’t see the whole plan. The rejection was painful, but it was not the end of Joseph’s story.
Brother Jeremy also experienced closed doors after losing his job. During that time, he gave more attention to seeking God and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He later became a plant manager at another company. We thank God for the way He worked in that situation.
Jesus Understands Rejection
Jesus did no wrong, yet He was rejected. Isaiah 53:3 describes Him as despised and rejected, while 1 Peter 2:4 calls Him rejected by men but chosen and precious to God.
Jesus came to preach good news, heal, and proclaim liberty to captives. He healed people and delivered them, yet many still turned against Him.
The crowd called for Barabbas, Judas betrayed Him, and Peter denied Him. Even on the cross, Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them” (Luke 23:34). Our Lord knows the pain of rejection, and He also shows us the way of forgiveness.
Be Willing to Examine Your Heart
Not every rejection is persecution. Sometimes it is feedback that reveals a pattern we need to address. We may interrupt others, dominate conversations, insist on the last word, or become offended when someone corrects us.
If we keep saying that everyone is against us, we need to stop and ask God to show us whether something in our own conduct needs to change. Psalm 139:23-24 gives us a prayer for this: “Search me, O God, and know my heart.”
Philippians 2:3-4 calls us to humility and to consider the interests of others. We should welcome honest correction from someone who loves us, and when we correct another person, we should do it in love and be willing to help.
Stop, Pray, and Receive Correction
When rejection hurts, the immediate desire may be to defend ourselves or strike back. We must stop before reacting and bring the pain to God. You can tell Him plainly that you are hurt.
A short prayer offered in faith can help us turn away from a fleshly response and listen to the Holy Ghost. Then we can reflect: Did our words or actions contribute to the situation? Is God showing us something that needs to change?
If He reveals sin, we must repent. Repentance means changing our thinking and turning toward God’s way. As He changes our hearts, our actions must change too.
Forgive Without Accepting Continued Harm
Forgiveness releases bitterness, but it doesn’t give another person permission to keep hurting you. Forgiveness and healthy boundaries can coexist. You can forgive while refusing to become a doormat.
Our teaching on forgiving while keeping healthy boundaries explains that forgiveness doesn’t require instant trust or expose you to further harm. Godly counsel from a trusted believer or pastor can also help when the hurt is difficult to carry.
Sometimes we have to speak forgiveness before our feelings catch up. We can ask the Lord to help our hearts follow the decision to forgive.
Testimonies of Rejection and God’s Care
A Loving Response
Sister Vicki was hurt when other girls made fun of her. Her mother gave her Godly counsel to bless those who had hurt her, so Vicki bought them a gift and took it to church.
Later, one of the girls wrote to apologize. She went on to serve the Lord in ministry. Vicki’s response showed love instead of allowing bitterness to take hold.
A Door That Opened
Brother Steve shared that he was initially turned down for a job opportunity in 1989. The rejection hurt him, and he prayed for God’s help. The following Monday, he was called in and offered the position.
Family Reconciliation
Sister Naz was disowned by her Muslim family for six years after she became a Christian. She continued calling, but her parents didn’t answer. During that painful time, she held on to the Lord as her family.
After six years, she reconciled with her family and now speaks with them regularly. She loves and honors them and continues to pray for them to come to faith in Jesus.
Rejection Is Not Your Identity
The pain of rejection is real, but it doesn’t determine who you are in Christ. Bring your hurt to the Lord, receive His correction, and ask Him to help you forgive.
1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. People may turn away, but our faithful Father will not leave His children. […]
The Blood of Jesus Speaks a Better WordThe blood of Jesus speaks a better word over those who have repented and put their faith in Him. Through His death and resurrection, we have forgiveness, peace, and access to God.
When the enemy accuses you or your circumstances seem impossible, your confidence can rest in what Jesus has done. His blood, not our religious performance, makes us right with God.
Hope for Today and for Eternity
At our Wednesday gathering, we began with Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:34: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.”
We also remembered Psalm 139:17-18, which compares God’s thoughts toward us to the grains of sand. When you hold a handful of sand, consider how great His thoughts are toward you.
Our hope reaches beyond this life. God knows what we face today, and He has promised a future with Him.
The Promise of the New Jerusalem
Pastor Terry shared a song inspired by Revelation 21, where John describes the New Jerusalem. The city has walls of jasper, gates of pearl, and streets of gold.
God will wipe away every tear. Death, sorrow, crying, and pain will be no more. We look forward to being with Jesus, knowing that the suffering of this present life will not have the final word.
Life on earth is not always fair, but God is just. His promise calls us to repentance and gives us hope beyond what we can see.
Prayer for the Sick and Their Caregivers
We prayed for Pam as she received cancer treatments and for her husband Steve as he cared for her. Caregivers carry burdens too, and they need strength and encouragement.
Hebrews 6:10 reminds us that God does not forget the work and love shown in serving His people. We also prayed for Brenda and Timmy, who were experiencing jaw pain, and for a daughter suffering from vertigo.
The church gathered in faith, including those watching online. Praying for the sick is one way we stand together and bring our needs before the Lord.
Jesus Will Return for His People
Acts 1:11 says the same Jesus who ascended into heaven will return in the same manner. He is coming personally and visibly, just as He promised.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, Paul says the Lord Himself will descend with a shout and the trumpet of God. The dead in Christ will rise first, and believers who remain will be caught up to meet Him.
We don’t know the day or hour, but we know who is coming. Paul tells us to comfort one another with this promise.
Fresh Fire and Faith to Pray Again
Evangelist Robbie Grubbs called us to seek a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. We don’t have to limp toward the finish line in discouragement. We can ask God to renew our love for Jesus and give us faith to keep running.
Robbie shared that his parents divorced when he was young, and for 30 years there was anger and bitterness between his father and stepfather. He had stopped praying for their relationship.
At his wedding, his father and stepfather put their arms around each other and expressed their love. His father told him that years of unforgiveness and anger broke off his life.
Jesus continues to intercede for us. If you’ve stopped praying about something that seemed impossible, bring it before Him again.
Jesus Made Peace Through His Blood
Robbie’s purpose was to point us to Jesus. John 1:1-5 identifies Him as the Word through whom all things were made. His light shines in the darkness, and darkness cannot extinguish it.
Colossians 1:15-20 says Jesus is the image of the invisible God and the head of the church. Through the blood of His cross, He made peace.
God did not ignore sin to give us peace. Jesus gave Himself for us, and through His sacrifice on the cross, we can be reconciled to God.
What Does It Mean to Plead the Blood?
When we plead the blood of Jesus, we declare by faith that His blood is greater than what is coming against us. Robbie applied that truth to sickness, anxiety, and the accusations of the enemy.
He shared how his infant son Isaiah developed hives after trying peanut butter. A doctor advised the family to go to the hospital, and later Isaiah had blood drawn so the doctors could understand what was happening in his body.
That experience led Robbie to say that blood speaks. In Genesis 4:10, God tells Cain that Abel’s blood cries out from the ground. Abel’s blood cried for justice, but Hebrews 12:24 says the blood of Jesus speaks a better word.
His blood speaks of forgiveness and reconciliation. We can bring our need for healing and freedom to Jesus, trusting His power and His love.
The Blood Answers the Accuser
Revelation 12:10-11 speaks of the accuser being defeated and God’s people overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.
The devil tries to convince us that we haven’t done enough to be accepted by God. But our righteousness cannot make us right with Him. Our confidence rests in Jesus, who shed His blood for us.
When the accuser speaks, the blood of Jesus speaks a better word.
This truth changes how we pray. Through Jesus, our High Priest, we can approach God with confidence.
The Perfect Lamb and Our Response
Robbie used the Old Testament sacrifice of a spotless lamb to point us to Jesus. The sacrifice had to be acceptable, and Jesus is the perfect Lamb who gave Himself for our sins.
Prayer, fasting, and obedience matter, but they don’t purchase God’s acceptance. We seek Him because Jesus has opened the way.
Robbie called those who had never repented to turn from sin and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. He also reminded us that, while God uses people to pray and anoint with oil, we have access to Him through the blood of Jesus. You can come to God in faith and bring your needs before Him.
The Blood Has Not Lost Its Power
John saw the Lamb who had been slain and was worthy to open the scroll in Revelation 5. Jesus died, rose again, and will return as King.
Our hope rests in the blood of the Lamb. We can repent, trust Him, and come before God knowing that Jesus has made the way. […]
Salvation Through Faith in Jesus: Galatians and “BewitchedSalvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, because He paid the price for our sins on the cross. You cannot earn that salvation by keeping religious rules or building a record of good works.
Pastor Josh Bates’ message on Galatians called us to keep Jesus at the center. Paul’s warning to the Galatian churches still matters when people add human requirements to the gospel.
Mandy Ellis: Trusting God Through Job Loss
Mandy Ellis shared how she lost her job after 14 years. The news came unexpectedly, and losing an income brought fear and confusion. Instead of holding on to thoughts of blame, she turned to God and held on to Isaiah 61:7, trusting His promise of a double portion.
Mandy was offered a job that required nights and weekends, but she wanted to remain involved in church. She continued seeking the Lord, and after a screening and two interviews, Children’s Hospital offered her a position with better pay and benefits than she expected.
She shared her testimony to encourage us: God is good, and we can take Him at His Word.
Abiding in the Presence of Jesus
Megan Bates shared how she makes time to pray in the morning, often sitting in a favorite spot outside. When she showed that spot to her children, her son Oliver immediately got out of their vehicle, knelt down, and began to pray.
That moment reminded her of Jesus’ promise in John 15:4: “Abide in Me, and I in you.” Whether you set aside time in the morning or at night, the desire is to remain connected to Him throughout the day.
The Warning to the Galatians
In Galatians 3:1, Paul asked, “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” Pastor Josh explained that bewitched describes being led away from the truth as though someone had cast a spell.
Paul wrote to churches in the region of Galatia because Gentile believers were being pressured to follow Jewish law as a requirement for salvation. Paul called this a different gospel and warned that even an angel must not be received if he brings a message contrary to the gospel of Christ, as stated in Galatians 1:8.
The truth Paul defended is justification by faith. Jesus Christ is the basis of our salvation, and adding requirements to His finished work changes the message Paul preached.
Jesus Paid the Price for Salvation
All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Our own righteousness cannot purchase forgiveness, but Jesus gave Himself on the cross so that we could be saved through faith in Him.
Pastor Josh put the warning plainly: “Jesus plus anything ruins everything.” When we stand before God, our confidence rests in Jesus’ work on the cross, not in a list of things we have accomplished.
Prayer, fasting, and obedience matter. We pursue them because we want to know and follow Jesus, while recognizing that His sacrifice is the ground of our salvation.
There Are No Second-Class Believers
Paul confronted Peter when Peter withdrew from Gentile believers. His conduct treated them as though they were lesser members of God’s family, even though they had believed in Jesus.
Pastor Josh applied this to the way Christians can look down on other denominations. A person’s background does not make the sacrifice of Jesus more or less effective. We must look to Christ rather than measure another believer’s worth by our own religious customs.
Faith, the Holy Spirit, and Obedience
Paul asked the Galatians whether they received the Holy Spirit by obeying the law or by believing. His point was that they had received the Spirit through faith.
Pastor Josh also pointed to John 14:12, Matthew 17:20, and Mark 9:23 as he spoke about belief and God’s work. Abraham, too, believed God, and his faith was counted to him as righteousness, according to Genesis 15:6.
This doesn’t give us permission to return to sin. The Holy Spirit gives us power to overcome, and we must willingly walk in obedience to Him. Our growth in holiness after salvation follows God’s work in us; it doesn’t earn His gift.
When Religious Rules Become Barriers
Pastor Josh recalled Megan coming to a revival straight from work while they were engaged. She tried to greet a preacher’s wife, but the woman would not look at her. Josh understood the woman’s response as a reaction to Megan wearing pants.
He also told of a teenager whose grandfather slapped her over her clothing and called her an embarrassment. These stories show how harshly people can treat others when outward rules take the place of love.
We can have standards for our families while treating people with dignity. Rules must never take the place of a relationship with Jesus or keep us from showing His love to others.
Mercy and Accountability
Pastor Josh pointed to Saul, who prophesied after coming into God’s presence even while pursuing David. He also spoke about Samson, who experienced God’s mercy despite repeated disobedience.
God’s mercy doesn’t make disobedience harmless. Samson suffered the consequences of his choices, yet God showed mercy again. As believers, we need accountability, and we also need to remember that our conduct can be a stepping stone or a stumbling block in another person’s walk with Jesus.
Paul’s conclusion in Galatians 2:21 is direct: if righteousness could come through the law, Christ died in vain.
The Man on the Middle Cross
Pastor Josh shared an illustration from Pastor Alistair Begg about the thief on the cross arriving at heaven’s gate. The thief had no years of religious service to present. His answer was:
“The man on the middle cross said I could come.”
Afterward, a congregant spoke about her brother, who knew the Lord and had been baptized before his death by suicide. She shared the peace she had in trusting that he knew how to call on Jesus. Pastor Josh spoke of God’s mercy and His knowledge of the heart.
Keep Jesus at the Center
During worship, we praised God for His goodness and declared that Jesus is Lord. We were reminded that He remains worthy of worship even when people do not respond to an invitation to come to Him.
We closed in prayer for families, those who were sick or struggling, and loved ones away from the Lord. Our confidence remains in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice is enough and whose mercy calls us to follow Him. […]

Timothy Brewer’s Testimony: The Lost Sheep Comes HomeJesus is the Shepherd who goes after the lost sheep, and Timothy Brewer’s testimony points us to that truth. If you have strayed from the Lord, you need to know that He is calling you back.
Timothy speaks of his own return to God through the parable Jesus told about one sheep that was lost.
The Shepherd Searches for the Lost Sheep
In Luke 15:4-7, Jesus tells of a shepherd who has 100 sheep and loses one of them. The shepherd leaves the 99 in the wilderness and goes after the one that is lost, searching until he finds it.
When the shepherd finds the sheep, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices. He comes home and calls his friends and neighbors together, saying:
“Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.” (Luke 15:6)
Jesus said there is joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over 99 just persons who need no repentance. The lost sheep mattered to the shepherd, and the sinner who returns matters to God.
God Speaks to the One Who Has Strayed
Timothy describes himself as a lost sheep. He remembers being drawn to rock-and-roll music and going out to music venues, but he also remembers the conviction he felt there.
That conviction is part of Timothy’s own testimony. He knew the Lord was dealing with him, and he understood that he needed to return.
God’s call to return requires a response. Repentance means we acknowledge our sin before God, turn away from the old direction, and come back to Him. We don’t need a polished speech to pray. We need an honest heart that is willing to turn.
Timothy’s testimony gives us a personal picture of turning back to God through repentance. The Lord’s conviction calls us to come to Him for forgiveness.
Jesus Brings the Lost Sheep Home
Timothy returns to the shepherd carrying the sheep on his shoulders because that is how he understands what Jesus did for him. He was lost, and the Shepherd brought him back.
Jesus is our Shepherd, and we are His sheep. Timothy’s message to anyone who has strayed is that you belong with the Lord. Jesus is calling you back to Him, away from the life that drew you into the world.
We can hear Timothy’s gratitude in his testimony. He gives God the credit for bringing him home and for what God has done in his life. His story points us back to Jesus’ mercy for the returning sinner.
The Shepherd Is Calling You Back
The parable of the lost sheep tells us that heaven rejoices when a sinner repents. Timothy’s testimony reminds us that the Lord calls those who have strayed to return to Him.
If you have been running, come back to Jesus. The Shepherd who went after the lost sheep is the One who brings His sheep home. […]
Where Your Treasure Is: Treasures Well Stored and SpentThe treasures God gives us are meant to be stored and shared at the time He chooses. His Word, His presence, and the testimonies of His work in our lives are riches that can strengthen us and draw others to Him.
Jesus said that where your treasure is, your heart will be also. That truth calls us to examine what we value and how we use what God has entrusted to us.
Find Rest in God’s Presence
There is a precious place of fellowship with the Lord when we find a quiet place, close the door, and spend time alone with Him. In that secret place, we can bring our anxious thoughts, judgmental thoughts, and the things that so easily trouble us before Him.
Hebrews 4:11-12 calls us to make every effort to enter God’s rest and reminds us that His Word is alive and active. His Word reaches into the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
We can lay those thoughts at His feet and ask Him to wash them with His Word. A life bound up in anxiety and restlessness isn’t God’s best for us. He invites us into His presence and teaches us to rest in Him.
God’s Treasure in Earthen Vessels
God speaks of hidden riches in secret places so that His people may know that He is the Lord who calls them by name (Isaiah 45:3). He is the One who gives the treasure, and He is the One who knows each of us.
Paul wrote, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7).
God created us to carry His riches and His glory. We are earthen vessels, yet He chooses to place His treasure within us so that the power is recognized as His.
Store Treasures for God’s Purpose
Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:19-21 to store up treasures in heaven rather than treasures on earth, where they can be destroyed or stolen. Heavenly treasure endures, and where our treasure is, our heart will follow.
To store something up means to keep it until the time is right to use it. The riches God places in our lives aren’t meant to collect dust or be used only for our own gain. He gives them for His Kingdom and His purpose, so that we can reach the lost, shine His light, and be salt.
This is part of seeking God’s Kingdom first. What we treasure shapes what we pursue.
The Picture of a Hope Chest
A hope chest gives us a picture of storing valuable things for a future purpose. Traditionally, a young girl could receive such a chest and fill it over time with special items for married life. In Australia, a hope chest is also called a glory box.
Some chests were made of cedar, a wood that helps repel moths and other pests. The items inside could be used in joyful seasons or difficult ones, for everyday needs or for hospitality. They were kept with a purpose in mind.
Examine What You Treasure
If you opened the hope chest of your life, what would you find? What are the things you hold dear and are most likely to talk about?
A reputation, popularity, social media followers, stylish clothes, a new vehicle, physical beauty, a college degree, or a position at work can become prized possessions. These things can be good, but the question remains: Are we treasuring them above the riches of God?
Earthly treasures fade. When we pursue them for our fulfillment, we can find ourselves replacing them with more of the same, only to discover that they are temporary and unable to satisfy.
Surrender to Jesus brings new desires, new pursuits, and new treasures. His Word can anchor us through storms, and His presence can sustain us when we face loneliness or rejection. Those are treasures worth keeping.
Bring the Treasures Out for Others
Jesus said that a disciple instructed in the Kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings new and old treasures out of a storeroom (Matthew 13:52). The treasures are brought out, not kept hidden forever.
The love of Jesus leads us to share what He has given with believers and unbelievers alike. When we ask God to use us, we must be willing to go where He leads us and minister to the people He puts before us.
God can use a testimony to encourage, strengthen, and comfort someone. He can use what He has done in our lives to help someone in a fiery situation, draw a sinner to repentance, and make His name known.
When we share a testimony of what Christ has done, we can speak truthfully and keep Jesus at the center. The treasure belongs to Him, and the glory belongs to Him.
Fragile Vessels, God’s Power
Paul continued his teaching about treasure in earthen vessels with these words:
“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
An earthen vessel is fragile, like a terracotta pot. Yet God places heavenly treasure in that vessel and equips us to do His will through hardship. The strength comes from Him.
We have a calling and a commission. We aren’t called to give our lives to Jesus and then remain seated as polished Christians while others need prayer, encouragement, or a testimony of what God has done.
Let us be faithful to get up and share what He has placed within us. The Lord can use even the testimony of an anxious battle to strengthen someone who needs to hear how He brought us through.
Make Room for Lasting Treasure
We can ask God to show us what needs to be removed so there is room for His riches. As we draw near, obey His Word, and yield to His presence, He renews and reshapes the vessel.
Treasures well stored are meant to be treasures well spent. The Lord gives us His good gifts so that we can bless others and make His name known. […]
Keep Your Focus on Jesus When Conflict ComesWe must maintain our focus on Jesus, because conflict can consume the time, energy, and attention needed to do what God wants us to do. When you allow every conflict to pull you in another direction, your focus suffers, and the work God has given you suffers with it.
We are living in a critical time, and we cannot afford to spend our potential following distractions. That is why we must recognize what pulls our attention away and remain focused on what God wants done right now.
Maintain Focus in a Critical Time
Pastor Lane Farley shared that, while praying on Monday, the Lord impressed on him the need to speak to others about focus. With the world “on fire” and our church in the middle of a building program, the instruction was direct: maintain your focus at all cost.
Those pressures were present when the instruction came. Keeping our focus could not wait until the world settled down or the building program was finished.
We must understand that keeping our focus is essential to victory. Conflict can demand our attention while the work God wants accomplished remains before us. The responsibility is to stay focused even while those pressures are present.
Recognize Where Conflict Comes From
Conflict doesn’t always come from the same source. God may allow us to enter into conflict, the devil may cause conflict, and sometimes we create our own conflict.
We must keep those distinctions clear. We cannot blame the devil for every conflict when some conflict comes through our own choices. Neither should we assume that the presence of conflict means God has lost control of the situation.
Whatever its source, conflict can pull you away from what God wants you to do if you allow it. That warning places a responsibility before us: we must guard our attention rather than surrender it to every difficulty that arises.
Don’t Follow Every Distraction
Conflict can take you to the left, then to the right, then down “bunny trails” and into “bunny holes.” All the while, the potential being spent on those distractions could have been directed toward what God wants accomplished now.
One of the devil’s tricks is to keep people confused, looking here and looking there. Attention keeps moving, but the work God has given us doesn’t receive the focus it needs.
We must put God’s priorities first rather than allow every distraction to determine where our attention goes. The issue is what receives our time and potential while the conflict continues.
Don’t Be Pulled Into Someone Else’s Conflict
The warning went further than dealing with conflict already in our lives:
“Do not allow others to pull you into their conflict.”
Pastor Farley repeated the point plainly: “It’s none of your business.” Getting into somebody else’s business can take the attention that belongs to what God has given you to accomplish.
The costs he named were time, energy, and spirituality. Those are serious costs. When another person’s conflict consumes them, your ability to focus suffers, and you can become unable to achieve what God wants you to achieve right now.
We must take that warning seriously. Someone else’s conflict doesn’t automatically become our responsibility simply because they invite us into it.
Keep Attention on What God Wants Done Now
The repeated emphasis is on what God wants done right now. We must not become so occupied with conflict that we neglect the direction He has already given.
That also means we cannot keep asking for future direction while setting aside obedience in the present. What God has already made clear deserves our attention today.
Hebrews 12:2 directs us to look to Jesus. We can keep praying and turning our attention toward Him while difficulty remains. We don’t have to wait until every conflict is resolved before giving Him our attention and responding to His direction.
Stay Focused on Jesus
Conflict must not consume the potential God has given us for His work. We must guard our attention and refuse to let someone else’s dispute take over the time and strength needed for our own responsibilities.
What God wants accomplished right now deserves our focus. Focus on Jesus. […]
Don’t Define Your Seasons by Your ProblemsYour problem doesn’t have to define your season. God has a purpose in what you’re going through, and our focus must remain on the solution He will reveal and on Jesus being glorified in the situation.
If you’re facing loss, grief, or uncertainty, the Holy Spirit gives strength to keep going, keep trusting, and keep believing. That begins with looking beyond the problem and remaining open to what God has for you during the season.
Look for the Solution and the Glory of Jesus
When we define our seasons by our problems, we have already allowed the problem to determine how we see everything else. Our attention stays on what has happened, while the solution God wants to reveal remains outside our focus.
A difficult season can hold more than the difficulty itself. There is a solution to discover, and there is an opportunity for Jesus to be more glorified and more exalted in the situation. The problem doesn’t have the authority to determine everything God can accomplish through it.
We must keep that distinction clear. You may know the problem you’re facing without yet knowing what God will reveal through it. Keep your attention on Him, because the season includes what He has for you while you’re in it.
The Holy Spirit Gives Strength in Loss and Grief
The Holy Spirit empowers us when our flesh is weak. Our ability to continue doesn’t rest only on how much strength we can find within ourselves, because He supplies the strength to keep going, keep trusting, and keep believing.
This matters in loss and grief. The encouragement to trust God doesn’t require you to pretend that grief has disappeared. We look to God’s presence in suffering because His help reaches us in the midst of what hurts.
There is peace, joy, and purpose even in a painful season. Grief is real, and the strength of the Holy Spirit is real. You can bring your sorrow before God and continue to believe that He has something for you in the season you’re walking through.
Make Space for God in Uncertain Seasons
Sometimes the Lord allows us into uncertainty for a reason. When our whole attention is fixed on getting through it quickly, we can miss what He has for us while we’re there.
Pray, Praise, and Worship Through It
We need to take time to sit in His presence. Pray through the season. Praise through the season. Worship through the season.
These are responses we can make while uncertainty remains. You don’t have to wait until everything becomes clear before turning your attention to God. Bring the need before Him and remain in His presence, even while the answer is still unknown.
Hurrying through a season can cause you to miss what God has for you while you’re in it.
Ask God to Open Your Eyes
Our prayer must include a willingness to receive what God wants to show us. Ask Him to open your eyes, your mind, and your heart to what He has for you during this season.
That keeps our attention on His direction rather than only on the end of the difficulty. We can ask God for the answer while also remaining willing to receive the insight He wants to give before circumstances change.
Let the Waiting Prepare You for the Next Season
God builds character through the season. He gives insight, and He establishes a firm foundation for what comes next. What He develops in you now matters beyond the difficulty you’re facing today.
Romans 5:3-4 connects tribulation with perseverance and perseverance with character. This is why we must pay attention to God’s work in us while we ask Him to work in our circumstances. The season can develop the strength and character needed for the next season.
Biblical waiting includes prayer, dependence, and a heart willing to receive His direction. In waiting on God with faith, we continue to seek Him rather than forcing an answer because uncertainty makes us uncomfortable. Psalm 27:14 connects waiting on the Lord with courage and the strength He gives.
Another season will come after this one. Be patient, because God strengthens you in the waiting and develops you into what He has called you to be.
Let God’s Purpose Define the Season
The problem you’re facing cannot tell you everything God has for you. Keep your attention on Jesus and remain open to His work in the season.
Our confidence rests in the Holy Spirit’s strength and in God’s purpose. While you wait, He is preparing you for what comes next. […]
Psalm 1 in Song: A Picture of the Blessed LifePsalm 1:2 describes the blessed person as one whose delight is in the law of the Lord and who meditates on His law day and night. Delight in God’s instruction is central to this description of the blessed life.
We see devotion expressed in what this person loves and what holds his attention. The picture of a tree planted beside water belongs with that devotion, and its meaning begins with the Lord’s instruction.
Delight in the Law of the Lord
“But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2
The word delight describes more than knowing that God’s instruction exists. The blessed person takes pleasure in the law of the Lord. God’s instruction has a place in his affections as well as his thoughts.
We must keep that emphasis before us. The passage describes a person who delights in what God has said, whose attention returns to His instruction because that instruction matters to him.
Meditation Day and Night
The same verse joins delight with meditation. The blessed person delights in the Lord’s law, and he meditates on that law day and night. His delight and his meditation belong together.
We understand meditation here as sustained attention to God’s instruction. The words remain before the mind rather than being heard once and immediately set aside. Both day and night are named, giving us a picture of continuing devotion.
The verse doesn’t give a schedule or prescribe a particular routine. Its emphasis is the place God’s instruction holds in this person’s life. What he delights in is also what he continues to consider.
A Tree Planted Beside Water
Psalm 1:3 compares this person to a tree planted by rivers of water. The tree gives you a visible picture of the life described in the preceding words: delight in the Lord’s law and meditation on His instruction.
The tree is planted beside water. Its place matters. We see a tree with a continuing source of nourishment, and the surrounding words connect that picture with a life sustained by God’s instruction.
We don’t need to assign a separate hidden meaning to every detail. Our teaching on understanding imagery in the Psalms follows this same principle: the picture must remain connected to the passage that explains it. Here, the tree directs our attention back to delight in the law of the Lord.
Fruit in Its Season
The tree brings forth fruit “in its season,” as Psalm 1:3 states. In its season belongs to the description, and we must give those words their place.
Fruitfulness is present, but the passage also names a season for that fruit. We shouldn’t turn the picture into a demand that every faithful person must see immediate success in every undertaking. That would place a timetable upon the image that its words don’t give.
The tree, the water, and the seasonal fruit remain one picture. Together they describe the person whose delight and meditation are directed toward God’s instruction. We preserve the meaning when we keep those details together.
The Blessed Life Remains Rooted in God’s Instruction
The blessed life described here has a clear center: delight in the Lord’s law and continued meditation on His instruction. The tree beside water gives that devotion a picture we can remember.
We return to the words day and night and in its season. God’s instruction remains before the heart, and the tree bears its fruit in the season named by the passage. […]
