Podcast for Lake Samm Church as we follow Jesus in Bellevue and beyond.
In this powerful message, we're reminded that God often chooses the hidden and faithful to accomplish His purposes. The story of Matthias, the forgotten disciple who replaced Judas, teaches us that hiddenness is not insignificance. We're challenged to embrace the 'anonymous seasons of the soul' where God shapes us away from the spotlight. The central theme encourages us to be Christ-centered rather than self-centered, focusing on faithfulness over visibility. This message urges us to reconsider our motivations - are we serving for recognition or out of love for Christ? It's a call to find joy in being faithful in the small, unseen acts of service that build God's kingdom. We're reminded that our value doesn't come from being seen by others, but from being known by God.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the spiritual discipline of waiting. The book of Acts begins not with action, but with Jesus commanding His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. This waiting isn't passive; it's an active expectation that forms us spiritually. We're reminded that God isn't just making us wait—He's making us ready. In our fast-paced world, we often rush past what God is forming in us. But there's a blessing in waiting, whether it's for a spouse, a calling, or God's presence. The story of the disciples waiting in Jerusalem parallels our own journeys. We're asked to consider: What are we rushing that God is forming? What's forming in us as we wait? What could it cost us if we don't wait? This message encourages us to confess our impatience, seek God's presence, and declare 'I won't move without You.' It's a call to trust God's timing and allow Him to work deeply in our lives.
