In this video, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches that the church must be a place where people find solace, joy, and peace. The local church must be intentional about loving one another. He also indicates concerning the teaching titled 'Breaking Generational Patterns' that the Word of God must always bring faith and never fear (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).Destiny is the destination, the place where you are meant to be (Matthew 2:17, NKJV). Destiny is also place sensitive, people sensitive, and location sensitive (1 Chronicles 21:1, NKJV). Pastor Shola teaches further, that you cannot break out of what you are not aware of, because a breakout only comes by revelation.Genesis 12:10 NKJV, Genesis 26:1 NKJV, Genesis 20:2 KJVWhat are patterns? - Patterns are a circle of regularities that appear to be normal but carry strong spiritual and natural undertones. - Patterns are repeated, disguised events. - Patterns are sequences of consistent ideologies, events, or directions.Lamentations 5:7 NKJV, Ezekiel 18:1 NKJVWhy do patterns happen?- Patterns happen because of the consistency of images people have seen all their lives. Images are powerful, and humans are products of the images they see. Until an image is altered, it remains the same.- Patterns happen because of the legalities in the spirit.- There are also behavioral patterns that sustain those cycles.- Misdirection causes patterns to happen.Pastor Shola concludes the teaching by indicating that patterns are not always obvious, but they shape outcomes until they are broken. Awareness, revelation, and alignment with the Word of God are the keys to breaking free.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Join us in today's service as we conclude 21 Days of Faith.In this service, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, gives the church a short but impactful charge.He notes that it is possible to lose the things we have heard and been taught during these 21 days of Faith. He therefore teaches on how to rebuild our altars so they are continually kept on fire.Scriptures:- Isaiah 26:18- 1 Kings 18:30–38The first thing Elijah did was to rebuild the broken altar. The fire of the Lord fell because it met a repaired altar. No repaired altar, no fire.If you want the fire of the Lord to fall, then your altar must consistently stay repaired.How to Rebuild an Altar So It Is Kept Consistently on Fire:- That which you have taken from the collective (the joint gathering), make it an institution in you — put a system of continuity in your life.- Act on the instructions God gave you.- Watch behavioural patterns and deal with them.- Say only the right things.This charge reminds us that sustaining the fire requires a rebuilt altar, consistent devotion, and a life aligned with God's instructions.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Pastor Shola begins from Hebrews 12:22–24 NKJV, teaching that the Old Testament is Jesus concealed, while the New Testament is Jesus revealed (Genesis 7:1 NKJV). He references Acts 7:37 NKJV and Matthew 16:13–19 NKJV, when Jesus was speaking about His identity, and reminds us that Christ means the Anointed One (Acts 10:38).The first time Jesus used the word translated as church was in Matthew 16:18, when He spoke to Peter. The original Greek word is ekklesia, meaning “assembly” or “the called-out ones.” Pastor Shola teaches that the church was instituted by revelation (Matthew 16:19 NKJV) but its formation did not happen until the book of Acts.The Book of Acts can be divided into three sections:- Acts 1–7: centers on Peter and reflects the apostolic vision of the early church, with the message directed primarily to the Jews.- Acts 9–28: highlights the ministry of Paul, where the gospel extends to the Gentiles.- Acts 8–12: covers matters arising as the church was growing stronger.Pastor Shola notes that three people were key in propagating the gospel:- Paul (Acts 8)- The Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:27)- Cornelius (Acts 10:1–3)The Purpose of the Church- God's system on the earth (1 Timothy 3:15)- The body of Christ, with Jesus as the head (Colossians 1:16 NKJV)- A collection/gathering of believers (1 Corinthians 12:27 NKJV, Acts 11:22 NKJV)- The house of prayer (Matthew 21:13 NKJV)- A place of diversity (Romans 12:14 NKJV)- A place to be built (Ephesians 2:19 NKJV)- A place of doctrine (Acts 2:42 NKJV, 1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)- A place of fellowship (Hebrews 10:24 NKJV)- A place to offer spiritual sacrifices (1 Peter 2:4)- A place where the Lord requires meat/supplies (Malachi 3:10 NKJV)- A place where angels are allocated (1 Timothy 5:21 NKJV)Church History in Six Periods- 30–300 AD: Pastor Shola mentioned that this was the birth of the church (Acts 15). The gospel spread through passion, discipleship, love, and miracles. Persecution later scattered believers (Acts 2, Genesis 11), which God used to fulfill His plan to reach the nations.- 300–600 AD: He highlighted the rise of the Apostolic Fathers. In 380 AD, Christianity became the state religion of Rome under Theodosius I.- 600–1000 AD: Pastor Shola noted this period was marked by the rise of Islam.- 1000–1500 AD: He explained that this era, known as the Dark Ages, saw Muslims conquer much of the Middle East, Christians begin to fight back, and the formation of the papacy in Rome.- 1500–1600 AD: Pastor Shola described this as the Reformation period, beginning with the pre-Protestant movement. (In Bible history, the previous move always fights the current move.)- 1600 AD – Present: He concluded by pointing to the Evangelical movement and later the rise of Pentecostalism.Pastor Shola concludes that God is raising cosmopolitan believers (Isaiah 2:3) and mighty men so that when Christ comes every space will be covered. The church is not man made but God's system on the earth, instituted by revelation and formed in Acts. It is the body of Christ, called to be His witness, His dwelling, and His instrument for global transformation.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

THE MINISTRY OF ANGELSIn this video, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches that the word Sabaoth means “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of the angel armies.” (Isaiah 47:4, Isaiah 44:6 NKJV).

Message Title: Divine Acceleration - Speed of On Time 3In this video, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, concludes the mini-teaching series on Divine Acceleration. He teaches that on this earth, you can never rise beyond a level until you engage the realms of the spirit.Delay is not just a setback-it is the postponement of destiny, the slowing down of progress, and the hindrance of divine timing.He goes on to define delay and indicates that:Delay means to postpone, to hinder, or to slow down the manifestation of God's plan in your life.5 Signs You Are Experiencing Delay:- Things take longer for you to do.- You have potential, but the results don't match.- Nothing seems to be working.- No visible change of level.- The people you started with are far ahead of you.He also indicated the Effects of Delay:- Limitation.- Dependence on men's moods and decisions.- Sadness and frustration.- Wrong perception of God.- A weary countenance.But there is hope! When delay is broken, the hand of the Lord brings Divine Acceleration.Pastor Shola wraps up the message by indicating What Divine Acceleration Will Do for You:- Help you catch up on wasted time and years.- Enable you to accomplish greater results in less time.- Empower you to outpace your equals.- Restore things to God's original plan.- Create time for other purposes.- Make you a model of divine possibilities.- Wipe away your tears.- Strengthen you to dare new things.Scriptures: 1 Chronicles 29:12, Acts 7:50 May the hand of the Lord come upon you and move you from delay into divine speed, in Jesus' name!——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

You don't just need strength to endure, you need strength for acceleration.Strength is not limited to the physical; it is everything required to conceive, sustain, and deliver God's purpose in your life.Key Scriptures:- Genesis 24:10-15- Psalm 90:12He also raised a prayer Point:Oh Lord God of my father, give me good speed today.He further teaches what Divine Acceleration does:-Removes physical and spiritual burnout- Renews hope and strength- Enables you to cover great ground in a short time- Makes your journey mysterious to othersWhy the Spirit Realm Matters:- The earth was created to depend on the realm of the spirit.- The realm of the spirit gives access to the past, present, and future at the same time.Ecclesiastes 5:9 -“The profit of the earth is for all…”Pastor Shola wraps up the message by indicating Signs You're Surviving (Not Living Fully):- You do so much but see little results- You're constantly burnt out- You have to calculate everything before enjoying anything- You're always at the mercy of others' decisions- You have potential, but nothing to show for itWatch this message and receive strength for divine acceleration in every area of your life.——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this video, our global Lead Pastor, Pastor Tope Okodugha teaches that the word "Pangs" goes beyond physical pain-it represents spiritual pangs, the deep discomfort and dissatisfaction that signals something is about to happen. She indicates In this video that, the journey of pregnancy is used as a metaphor for spiritual birthing, revealing how God prepares His daughters to bring forth destiny.She also explains the categories of women in the Spirit:- Women unaware they are spiritually pregnant but already carrying signs.- Women who know they're pregnant but are not paying attention.- Women progressing through all spiritual trimesters.- Women in labour, going through the early and latent phases before it's time to push.- Women in active labour, the most painful stage, where the Holy Spirit steps in as the Midwife to help deliver successfully.The enemy desires stillbirths-through distraction, impatience, and lack of depth—but God's will is that you birth what He has placed within you. She concludes by indicating that the end goal is safe delivery. Fix your eyes on Him, wait until you're fully processed, and you will bring forth what the Lord intends.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Continuing from Day 3's message on Christ our Passover, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches on the significance of the blood and how it links directly to communion (Exodus 12:21 NKJV).The Power of the BloodFrom Leviticus 17:11, Pastor Shola explains that what keeps one alive is the blood running through them; the blood of the person is the person's life.-Life is in the blood-We have boldness (1 John 1:7, Hebrews 10:19)-The blood represents ransom, blood is a purchasing power-Blood is a system of continuity-Blood is used to appeaseHe also indicated The Journey of the Blood and Its Uses:Examining Genesis 3:21 TPT and the covering of Adam and Eve, we observe that blood speaks (Hebrews 12:24). According to Genesis 15:12–21 NKJV and Jeremiah 34:18 NKJV, Pastor Shola demonstrates that appropriating the blood rightly is where we derive benefit from it.According to Hebrews 9:22 NKJV, the blood had to be shed, and all things are purified with blood. In Hebrews 9:23-28 NKJV, we see that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.Pastor Shola further points to Isaiah 61:1-2 NKJV, noting that it was after the blood came out that Jesus exhausted Himself and declared, “It is finished.”What the Blood of Jesus Did for Us-You are no longer a stranger to the covenant of promise (Hebrews 8:6 - the covenant of -promise is the promise with Abraham)-You are cleansed from sin-We are reconciled to Him (Colossians 1:20)-We have redemption (Ephesians 1:7)-Our conscience is cleared (Hebrews 9:14)Pastor Shola concludes tonight's teaching by emphasizing that the blood of Jesus is not just symbolic - it is the life of God released for our redemption. Applying the blood is how we step into covenant promises, walk in boldness, and live in the full benefits of what Christ has purchased for us.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this teaching, Pastor Shola Okodugha explores how faith serves as the bridge between what you see in the spirit and what you experience in the natural (Hebrews 11:1). He teaches that hope is born through vision, and vision is birthed in the place of prayer. But it doesn't stop there - hope transforms into faith when action is involved.Additionally, faith is a process that cannot be skipped.It's not just confidence in God, but complete trust, obedience, and conviction grounded in His Word (Romans 12:3).Components of Faith:-Believe what God has said-Speak it boldly-Act on it without hesitationAlso, he indicated that Prophecies don't fulfill themselves. You must mix them with faith.(Hebrews 3:15 -19, Joshua 1:1 - 5)To truly believe means to be convinced, and that conviction comes from: -Immersing yourself in God's Word-Hearing faith-building testimonies-Choosing obedience over assumption (Titus 1:16 TPT)ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this message titled "The Blessing of Adoption," Pastor Shola Okodugha emphasized that spiritual lukewarmness opens the door to the enemy. He explained that one of the signs God is working in our lives is the kind of words He sends to us. Drawing from scriptures such as Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, Pastor Shola unpacked what it means to be blessed with all spiritual blessings: we are chosen, redeemed, and adopted as sons.He highlighted that understanding God's fatherhood is foundational to our faith. Adoption, from a biblical standpoint, is not like the legalistic version based on need or merit. Rather, it's rooted in God's will and love, giving us full rights and privileges as sons - equal to Christ, the firstborn among many. Jacob's adoption of Joseph's sons illustrated how this blessing has nothing to do with performance but everything to do with divine purpose.Pastor Shola also emphasized that faith is not about striving, but about resting in the assurance of our identity as God's children. Many believers live with the nature of sons but fail to walk in the privilege of sonship.

In this powerful teaching, our Global Lead Pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, uncovers the true meaning of spiritual warfare and how it affects your divine allocation. Warfare isn't always loud - sometimes it's passive, and many lose battles simply due to a lack of knowledge.What is Warfare?1. Warfare is a fierce opposition against your allocation it can sometimes be passive or active.2. Warfare is also lack of knowledge.Pastor Shola indicated that in order to become a better version of yourself, you need information, but to become another man is warfare.He also indicated five strategic ways to fight and win in spiritual warfare:- Obey divine instructions- Guard against disobedience- Stay rooted in prayer- Prioritize kingdom advancement- Practice giving as a weaponABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Who has ever received a bad haircut?Don't point to the person next to you. I'm asking you personally that'd be really rudeWhen I was a kid back in the mid 90s, I got a bad haircutMy barber really messed up my bowl cutAnd that may sound like an oxymoron because you think well a bowl cuts already kind of messed upAnd they're all kind of lame, but mine actually look pretty goodfor bull cuts except for this one timeAnd for the rest of this story, I'm gonna shift to my mom's perspective to give the story some more dramatic weightSo we get home from the haircutLater on that day my mom goes into the bathroom to find quite the crime sceneThere's hair everywhere and there are scissors right on the sinkMy mom didn't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what had happened because there is an abundance of evidence right in front of her faceI had obviously tried to fix my bowl cut and made it way worse in the processAnd like any good detective my mom tried to get me to confessShe came up to me and said TaylorDid you cut your hair?I said no I didn'tEven though there's a huge chunk missing right out of the front of my bull cutSo my mom tried a different approachWell, I found hair in the sink. I found scissors and there's a huge chunk just gone from your hairAnd I kept digging my own graves. No that lady messed it upAnd my mom tried one last attempt. She said TaylorYou're not gonna be in trouble for cutting your hairBut you will be in trouble if you keep lying and you don't tell the truthWell, that was the final strawI finally broke down and I confessed like in one of those over-the-top crime dramas on TVI told my mom everything even though she already knew everythingAnd I'm sure that many of you have a similar story to tellIsn't it interesting that no one has to train you to cover up what you're ashamed ofIt comes so naturally to youIt started at a young age and even continues to this dayYou knock over something very valuable in your house as a kid and it shatters on the groundWhat do you do?You pick up all the pieces and you try to hide it somewhere, right?But you're just a kid so you're hiding place stinks and your parents find it almost immediatelyYou hit your brother or sister and they start to weep and to wailWhat's your response?You cover their mouth and threaten him or her to not tattle to your parentsYou finally get your driver's license and you promised your parents you will take care of their carBut then you immediately scratch itWhat do you do?You try to buff out that scratch and try to cover it up with the cheapest paint you can findOr how about now?At work you make a very serious and embarrassingmistakeWhat's your first blush response?To say nothing and hope that no one notices what you didHiding is easyComing clean is hardYou and I struggle to confess our sins to other people and we also struggle to tell God everything that we have doneEven though he already knowsWhat we have doneThis reluctance to be honest about our failures reveals that we have deep issues within our hearts that we cannotignoreThere's a second week of our latest series heart problems what to do when you don't want GodNo matter who you are or how long you've been a Christian you have a heart problem of some kind right nowMaybe it's spiritual lazinessMaybe it's indifference to the things of GodMaybe it's a lack of connection with the Lord in prayer or maybe it's serious doubts that you have about the Christian faith or ahabitual sinThat is hiddenAll of these problems require a surgical solution and not a quick fixLast week we studied the parable of the sower and unpacked the importance of evaluating our hearts to see how seriousof a heart surgery the Lord needs to give usThis morning we will dig into Psalm 51 as the Lord lays out the importance of another surgical solution that we must cooperate with andparticipate inConfession of sinIs this the most popular of topics in the church today?Sin is often affirmed and accepted rather than confessedAnd this is why there are so many unhealthy and dying churchesThis is why there are so many unhealthyhuman hearts within those churchesThat are spiritually withering awayFor you to get better the infection of hidden sin needs to be pulled out by the root and the method of that extraction isheartfelt confessionto the Lord andYour natural response to a message like this a passage like this will be to inwardly cross your arms and dig in your heelsAnd I want to plead with you not to do thatLower your defenses and prepare your heart for what God is going to command you to doSo let's go to the Lord and ask for his help because we certainly need itFather we come to you and we admit that we so often hide from youWe're like Adam and EveFoolishly hiding in the garden when you can see them right thereLord there are people in this room who have others fooled, but they do not have you fooled IPray that today would be the day ofRevealing what has been hidden to others ofConfessing to you what you already knowAnd we thank you for the healing we thank you for the change that you will bring through this genuine confessionWe ask all these things in Jesus name amenThe turn your Bibles to Psalm 51Psalm 51It's important to note that you should never skip the descriptions at the beginning of many of the Psalms because these descriptionsGive you helpful background informationSkipping these descriptions would be like fast-forwarding through the first two minutes of Star Wars asThe music blast the logo appears and the background text of the storyScrolls on the screen in front of you if you fast forward through thatYou're gonna miss a lot of helpful background information that will really lead you not fully understand the storyAnd the same is true for this description at the beginning of Psalm 51 if you skip itYou're not gonna understand why David wrote it in the first placeSo let's see what he says to the choir master a Psalm of David when Nathan the prophetWent to him after he had gone into BathshebaDavid may have been a great king of Israel and a man after God's own heartBut he was not free from sin and heart problems far from it. He committed adulteryand murderHe had sex with a woman who was not his wifeAnd he thought everything was under wrapsAnd no one knew but then BathshebaGets pregnant and the problem is she's married to a man named UriahInstead of confessing what he had done David decides to have Uriah killed in battleThen he movesBathsheba into his house they get married and they have their childIt seems once againThat David got away with these things got freeBut he hadWho was the one who saw what David had done?God himself the one who sees all thingsWe were told this in 2nd Samuel 11 27, but the thing that David had donedispleasedthe LordAnd God sent the prophet Nathan to confront David in his sin and thankfully David doesn't cross his arms and dig in his heelsNo, he confessesAnd he acknowledges what he had doneAnd he accepts the consequences for his sinWhich is the death of his son who was a result of this affairAnd violent division within his own familymoving forwardAnd after this confrontation David writes one of the rawest most hard-hitting songs in the entire bible in Psalm 51David honestly confessed his sinfrom the heartI know what you may be wondering after all this setupTaylor i'm certainly not a perfect person. I've made mistakes in the past. I've never done anything as bad as DavidI'm actually a pretty good person. I'm nice to other people. Why should I?confess from my heartSome of you have a different thought that has that ends with the same exact questionI see why David should confess his sin. He lived in the old testamentBut i'm a christian living after the new testament. I'm covered by the grace of jesus christ. All of my sin has been forgiven. Why should I?confessfrom my heartWell, that is a great question that we're going to spend the rest of this message answering. Why should I?Confess from my heartReason number one because my god is mercifuland lovingMy god is mercifuland lovingDavid kicks off this psalm by getting as low as he can as fast as he canHe humbles himself before his maker and admits his need for compassionIn verses one through two. Let's read that togetherHave mercy on me. Oh godAccording to your steadfast love according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressionsWash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse mefrom my sinDavid makes zero excuses for his sinHe doesn't try to minimize what he has done or try to lessen its seriousnessLike celebrities and politicians who get caught in underhanded scandalsYou know what i'm talking about, right? You've received those press conferencesOr statements from famous people that are non apologeticapologiesOh, what I did was unfortunate. I got caught up in a moment of weakness. I'm sorry if what I did offended anyoneAka what I did wasn't that bad so lighten upDavid doesn't do any of this soft peddling nonsenseHe describes his affair in three different waysas transgressionas iniquityand as sinAnd these three words cross over with one another but communicate different aspects of the same conceptTransgression is purposeful rebellionIniquity is perversion a twisting of god's ways and intentionsSin is falling short and missing the mark of god's holy standardDavid is brutally honest here because he knows that he has abused his role as king to satisfy his own evil desiresDavid knows that he deserves nothing good from godBut david also knows that he serves a god who is willing to forgiveAnyone of anything if that person comes to him in repentance and faithDavid knows that he shouldn't run away from the one who is readyto embrace himIf you have not yet turned from your sin and trusted in christ, what are you waiting for?I have to be honest with youYou are not a good personI am not a good personYou may not have ordered a hit on someone else like david, but you are just as guilty as him ofPerversion, iniquity, and sinYou have rebelled against god's rightful rule and authorityYou have perverted how life should be livedYou have fallen away short of god's perfect and holy standardYou are far more wicked than you could possibly understandBut god is far more gracious than you could ever imagineGod wants to show you mercyHe doesn't want to give you what you deserve, which is eternal punishment in hellGod wants to give you what you don't deserve, which is graceEternal joy in heavenGod wants to show you his steadfast love and his abundant mercyHe wants to blot out your transgressions and erase all record of your evil deedsHe wants to wash you thoroughly of your iniquity and cleanse you of all your sinBut god will only do those things if you ask him toIf you humble yourself before him like david and make no excuses for your evil desires and decisionsYour heart problem may be that your heart is spiritually deadIt needs to be brought to new life in christIf that's the case confess your sin for the very first time and plead for christ's forgiveness and he willGive it to youHe will fix your heart problemHe will give you the solution which is faith in jesus christ and what he achieved by dying on the cross and rising againPlease don't let your pride keep you from the abundantMercy and steadfast love of godWhy should i confess from my heart?Reason number two because my sin insults godBecause my sin insults godDavid goes even deeper in verses three through six to reveal why his sin and your sinIs such a big deal. Let's read that together for i know my transgressions and my sin is ever before meAgainst you you only have i sinned and done what is evil in your sightSo that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgmentsBehold i was brought forth in iniquity and incended my mother conceived meBehold you delight in truth in the inward being and you teach me wisdomin the secret heartDavid has a constant reminder of his affair and murder right in front of him all the timeIn the form of bashebaI think that's one of the reasons why he says my sin is ever before meEvery single time he sees basheba. He remembers that he took her when she didn't belong to himAnd he ended the life of her first husband uraya who was a man of great integrityYes, he wronged this woman. Yes, he wronged her husband, but they're not the ones that david is most concerned about wrongingListen again to verse four against you. You only have i sinned and done what is evil in your sightWho is david most concerned about wronging?The lordNo one matters more than god. So offending him matters more than offending anyone elseEvery sinful thought every sinful word action inaction reaction is an insult to godIt is a slap in his faceAnd this inescapable reality is highlighted when the lord asks a direct question to david through the prophet nathanIn second sancton 12 9Why have you despised the word of the lord to do what is evil in his sight?In the following verse god says that david didn't just despise his word. He despised himWhen you take the word lightly you take god lightlyWhen you disobeyGod's wordYou disobey the one who spoke it into existenceChristians in the room and watching onlineI want you to understand what you communicate to god when you choose to do something that you know you shouldn'tOr you fail to do something that you know you shouldYou are telling god. I love this sin more than I love youWhen you click that link and watch that pornographic video you are telling god. I'd rather look at this than behold you in your wordWhen you gossip and slander you're telling god. I care more about other people think about me than what you think about meWhen you lie and cover your tracks you are telling god. I care way more about my comfortThan honoring youWhen you intentionally disrespect your husbandOr selflessly dishonor your wifeYou are telling god. I'd rather do things my way than your wayin this marriageIn those moments you dismiss god and act like he is worth nothing to youHow insulting is that?If that view of your sin doesn't make you want to confess. I don't know what else to tell youWhen I am rude and disrespectful to my wife, we are still marriedMy bad behavior doesn't divorce or separate me from herIn that moment, but it does affect how close I feel to herAnd I can't enjoy that closeness that fellowship again until I confess to herHow I have wronged herIf you are a true believer in jesus christ, you confess to draw near to the lordIn fellowship to enjoy a closeness with him that you cannot enjoy when you were holding on to sin and refusing to let it goYou confess because you're already forgivenYou confess because you love god and are loved by godSo often we feel like god forsakes usBut he's not the one who forsakes youYou are the one who forsakes himThe hymn come now founten nails this on the headProne to wander lord. I feel it prone to leave the god I loveDoes that describe anyone else besides me this morning?Is your heart problem that you feel distant from the lord because you've been wandering off the path of his wordIf that's you admit that you've strayed because he already knows that you haveConfess that you need his help because god is well aware that you already need his helpDraw near to god and scripture promises that he will draw near to youWhy should I confess from my heart third reason because my heart needs renovationBecause my heart needs renovationInVerses seven through twelve david continues on with morePlease for god to wash him of what he has done and then he pops the hood so to speak and ask god to work on the engineof his heartPurge me with hissup and I shall be clean wash me and I shall be wider than snowLet me hear joy and gladness. Let the bones that you have broken rejoiceHide your face from my sins and blot out my iniquitiesCreate in me a clean heart. Oh god and renew a right spirit within meRestore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me with the willing spiritDavid asked god to create in him a clean heartAnd that hebrew word for create is the same word used in genesis one one when god made everythingIn the beginning god created things that were not there to begin withHe did something brand newAnd david is asking him god do something brand new and me creating me something that doesn't existA heart that desires you a heart that would rather choose you than sinAnd david doesn't want this change to be a passing fad or a flash in the pan. He wants it to lastThat's why he says renew a right spirit within meUphold mewith the willing spiritIn other words god, don't let me be lazyDon't let me go back to business as usual. Let this change last for the rest of my daysHelp me to step into who you've created me to be instead of sliding back into who I used to beDavid understands that his life is a marathon not a sprintHe needs to focus on the long termNot just the short termAnd david says something in verse 11 that may have surprised youCast me not away from your presence and take not your holy spirit from meMaybe that verse unlocked a new fear within you and you're starting to wonder waitCan that actually happen? Can god take his spirit away from his people?You just said that god doesn't forsake his people. Aren't you contradicting yourself?Well, I don't have the time to fully explain the theology of this verseSo let me try to do my best in 90 seconds. You can even time me if you really want toIn the old testament the holy spirit did not live within god's peopleas he does todayInstead he would rush upon people and anoint them for specific tasks and rolesHe would empowerthe prophets the kingsJudges and others to say and do what god told them to say and doAnd one such man was king sallThe first king of visual he certainly looked the part. He was tall dark and handsome, but the problem was his heartHe had a heart problem that was never resolvedHe sinned he disobeyed but he didn't truly confess and repent as david wouldSo god took away his holy spirit from sallWhich also meant that he took away the throne from sall as wellAnd that's what david is thinking about in this verse god. Don't let me be another sallDon't take the throne away from me. Don't take your holy spirit and his help away from meBut if you are a follower of christ this side of the cross in the empty tombYou don't need to share this fear of davids because you are sealed and indwelt by the holy spiritHe has made you into a new creation and given you a changed heartThe holy spirit can never be taken away from you just as your salvation can never be taken away from youHow amazing it is to enjoy the blessings that david longed forA brand new heart and the constant presence the constant indwelling of the holy spiritBut you and i often take these blessings for granted don't weWe often take advantage of these blessings and acts as if we don't need to do anythingIn our personal journey of holinessLike david asked god to uphold you with a willing spiritTo maintain this heart that has been given to youYou know who likes new stuffA new car with a new car smellNew shoes that don't stink like a gym locker roomA new phone that can do one do stuff that your old one could nota new carHow about a new house that doesn't have the issues that your last one didAnd i think one of the reasons we like new stuff is that we think we can enjoy a break from maintenance and upkeepIs that trueThat's a really false hope that really goes away very quickly a new car can be trashed in a few daysIf you're not diligent in cleaning it outA new phone can be broken and shattered if you don't have a protective case in screen shieldNew shoes will look very old and gross if you don't spray them out every once in a while and clean the dust and the grime that accumulatesI want you to imagine that a wealthy friend has a brand new house built for you free of chargeThis house is state-of-the-art everything inside and outside the house looks fantasticBut how fantastic will that house look if you never cut the grassIf you never do any upkeep of any kind if you never keep up with ongoing renovationsAs the years pass byThat new house will not look new for very longThe same goes to the new heart that god has gifted to you it needs ongoing maintenance and renovationThis isn't a task you could do once a year really quickly. This is a 24/7 projectAnd we'll talk about this heart maintenance in even greater detail in two weeksBut for the time being I want you to understand that this heart maintenance includes personal time with the lord in prayer and in his wordParticipation in the life of the church not just attend attendanceParticipation in the life of the church and yes ongoing confession and repenting of sinIt's hard to maintain a car and keep it runningIt's hard to maintain a house and keep it looking presentableIt's way harder to maintain your heart and keep it dialed in to the lordWhat's the motivation for this difficult projectWhat keeps you on task on schedule on mission?Well, david gives us the answer in verse 12 restore to me the joy of your salvationYou will not continually maintain your heart if you are not continually blown away that you are saved in the first placeYou will not constantly confess to your father if you are not thrilled that you belong to himAnd you are a part of his familyThe moment you take your salvation for granted is the moment you stop growingIs the moment you stop making progress? It's like all the gas is siphoned out of your tankAre you running on empty in this current season of life?If so ask the lord to fill your tank ask him to restore to you the joy of your salvationAsk that you would once again celebrateThat your name is written in heaven and nothing and no one can scratch it outDo you know what the best thing about me is?That I belong to jesusAnd if you're a christian the best thing about you is that you belong to jesusDo you truly believe that this morning?Is that a truth that's on the forefront of your mind and fills your heart?If not ask god that it wouldBecause otherwise you're not going to grow and your heart problem will not be solvedWhy should I confess to my heart final reason because my worship and witness is hindered by hidden sinBecause my worship and witness is hindered by hidden sinLet's wrap up with verses 13 through 19Then I will teach transgressors your ways and sinners will return to youDeliver me from blood guiltiness. Oh god. Oh god of my salvation and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousnessOh lord, open my lips and my mouth will declare your praiseFor you will not delight in sacrifice or I would give it you will not be pleased with the burnt offeringThe sacrifices of god are a broken spiritI'm broken in contrite heart. Oh god, you will not despiseDo good design and your good pleasure build up the walls of jesusThenWill you delight and write sacrifices and burn offerings and whole burn offerings then bulls will be offered on your altarDavid's heart is broken in contriteAs we studied a few months ago in the beatitudes david is poor in spirit and one who mourns over his sinDavid understands that his sin doesn't just affect himIt affects everyone in positions underneath of himIt affects everyone in israel as the nation goes as the king goes so goes the nationIn this section david isn't me focused. He is othersfocusedHe asked to be used for god's purposes. Listen again to verse 13 that I will teach transgressors your ways and sinners willreturn to youdavid wants to be a living testimony of god's grace and kindnessVerses 14 through 15 deliver me from blood guiltiness. Oh god. Oh god of my salvationAnd my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness. Oh lord open my lips and my mouth will declare your praiseDavid wants to demonstrate what it truly looks liketo holy worship godVerse 18 do good design and your good pleasure build up the walls of jr.David doesn't want to hoard all the blessing for himself. He wants jr.And all of israel to experience the blessing of god as wellDavid isn't interested in keeping his sin a secret any longerHe's ready to go public with it and one of the ways he does this is by writing this psalm that we are readingright nowThink about it. How many transgressors have been taught? How many sinners have returned to god because of this psalm?How many countless numbers of sins have been confessed because david gives us a clear example of how to do thisIn a godly way, but this wouldn't have happened if david kept his sin a secret and only confessed it to godConfession increased david's worship andstrengthened his witnessAnd the same can be true for you as wellconfession will increase your worshipand strengthen your witnessBut the problem is you often believe the exact oppositeYou think to yourself, I don't want to ruin my testimony. So I'll just keep my struggles to myselfI won't tell anyone about my failures except godThat is a horrible planThat plan is pride disguised as humilityThat plan is self-interest disguised as an outward focusPlease listen to me. There is only one sinless person in all of existenceAnd this person is without a doubt not you or meNo one will benefitFrom a false image of your fake perfectionPeople will only benefit from a true image of your genuine confessionHow many unbelievers could you point to the forgiveness of christ by sharing how you have experienced his forgivenessHow many fellow believers can you remind can you remind them of that?It is a good and godly thing to be transparent in the body of christYou can model that because so often we think this isn't a safe placeBut this should be the safest place to confess our sins and be honest with one anotherFor the rest of my life, I'll never forget one particular night at Geneva college during my freshman yearWhen my guy friends and I were completely honest with one another about what we struggled withAnd to a man we all admitted that we at one point had struggled with pornography useI'll never forget the looks on people's faces. Everyone was shocked. We were all amazed because each guy thought he was the only oneBecause that's how satan wanted us to feelaloneisolated selfcondemningNo one wants you to confess your sin less than satanHe doesn't want you to confess to godHe doesn't want you to confess to others because then you will receive loveAnd prayer that will help you to make those needed changesListen to james 516Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one anotherThat you may be healedIt is so healing to shine a light on what you've kept in the darkIt is so freeing to unearth what you've kept covered upIt is such a blessing to share what you have done to a person who is ready to build you upwith the truths of the gospelYou don't need to hide your sins any longer because god himself has already hidden his face from your sinAs we close let me ask you what sins are you so desperate to keep hidden?What are you holding on to and refusing to confess to god and to those who are willing to help you?Maybe it's a sexual sin of some kindMaybe it's a substance abuse problem. Maybe it's an anger issue or a pattern of lyingMaybe you've destroyed someone's reputation and they don't even know itMaybe it's an all-consuming worry that no one knows the full extent of besides you and godWhatever it is you can and should confess it to the lord and your loved ones todayNot next week when you've had more time to think about it because you're just going to talk yourself out of it in the meantimeNot when it's more easy and convenient. No, it's never going to be easy and convenient to confess your sin do it todayBut I know what some of you are thinking taylor you just don't get itIf I share this secret my life will be ruined. I'm going to hurt so many peopleWell over the past 10 years in ministry, I've had people confess some doozies to meAnd then to other people who need to knowAnd guess what it was hard. It was painful, but they survivedAnd most those people not only survive they are thriving right now. They are closer to god than ever beforeIf you don't plan to confess to godThat tells me that you may not truly understand his saving graceIf you don't plan to confess to others that tells me that you don't actually plan to changeYou should confess from your heart because god is ready to pour out his love and mercy upon youYou should confess from your heart because you shouldn't want to indulge in what insults godYou should confess from your heart because you are in desperate need of renovationYou should confess from your heart because hidden sin will shipwreck your worship of god and your witnessto everyoneThere is no better place to come and confess our sin in the table of the lord supperThis god-given meal reminds you of god'sGiven solution to your heart problemThe sacrifice of his one and only sonJesus christ came down from heavens that you could join him thereSomedayHis heart was set upon the cross so that your heart could be transformed and set to worship him foreverand everAs you come to the lord and communionwithhold nothing from himBecause he withholds nothing from youOur servers can now make their way forward as well as the worship teamYou don't need to belong to this church to take part in the lord supperBut you do need to belong to jesus christIf you have not yet confessed your sins and asked jesus to save you please remain seatedBut please don't just tune outPlease considerHow your sin has offended godHow it has hurt others and how it has damaged your own soulBut also find hope in the fact that you can lay those sinful burdens down at the foot of the crossAnd receive forgiveness today
