The Power of Giving God the Glory by Autumn Dickson We are learning all about how man came to be on the earth. The Lord is setting the stage for us to understand the context in which we were placed on the earth. Part of that context is understanding the Fall and everything associated with it. Here are a couple of verses that help us understand what we're trying to emulate in the midst of this fallen world. Moses 4:1-2 1 And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor. 2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever. The Lord is telling Moses, “You were just tempted by this Satan guy, and you commanded him to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. Before the world was created, Satan wanted to redeem everyone, take away their agency, and keep all the glory. Christ came prepared to do My will and offered the glory back to Me.” As a church, we talk a lot about following the will of the Father; this is a frequent discussion. We have also discussed how Satan wanted to take all the glory, and how Christ rightly placed the glory with the Father. Much of this life is a lesson in those two aspects: bending our will to match our Heavenly Father's will as well as recognizing that the glory belongs to Him. I want to focus on that second lesson: recognizing that the glory belongs to Him. Glory is an interesting one because everyone likes to get credit for how they contribute. Christ gets credit for His role in the Father's plan even if Christ is offering all of the glory back to His Father. Our prophet is just a man trying to follow the Lord, and yet, we honor him for the sacrifices he makes in order for us to hear the will of the Lord. I honor my parents for the continuous, ongoing sacrifices they make to bring me closer to Christ. Hopefully, there is credit given when someone makes a sacrifice for you to draw closer to your heavenly home. This is a righteous principle. And yet, Christ told the Father, “…the glory be Thine forever.” I think everyone knew Christ would be honored for what He did, and it is righteous to honor Him for what He did. He could have stopped at, “Thy will be done,” and left it at that. We all knew He deserved to be worshipped for what He was sacrificing, but He chose to keep speaking. He ended it with, “The glory be Thine forever.” I'm sure Christ was aware that He would be loved and worshipped for it, but Christ was also aware of an important, adjacent principle. Seeking glory sucks the happiness out of life, and the entire reason He made the sacrifice was on behalf of our happiness. Setting the example for us to willingly hand over the glory whenever we follow the will of the Father was setting us up for success; it was setting us up to find happiness and joy more readily. This wasn't humble brag. It wasn't lip service. Christ wasn't saying, “I'll go make this sacrifice and tell everyone that the glory is Thine because everybody knows I'm going to be worshipped for it anyway.” No. In His heart, Christ was saying, “If no one ever knew what I did, I would still choose to do it. If no one ever had an inkling of the sacrifice I was going to make, I would choose it if it means they can be happy.” I'm sure when the prophet steps up, he knows that there are those who will respect him for his position. He knows that there will be honor for it. We don't have to pretend there is not. It is righteous to love those who teach you about Christ. However, it can't be about seeking honor or glory. If you choose to step up and help with the Lord's work, and if you do it with the right heart, you end up feeling grateful. You feel floored that the Lord let you come along anyway. Despite mistakes, lack of wisdom, and natural-man-tendencies, He let you be a part of it. When you're participating in His work with the right heart, you're filled with gratitude. If you do not currently feel that way but want to feel that way, there is hope. If you find yourself with creeping feelings of vanity, if you find that you enjoy the praise of others a little too much, if you find this burning secret desire to make your sacrifices known, AND if you simultaneously don't want those feelings, fear not. I've been there, and they don't have to tear you up. I battle those feelings often enough. I have always found guilty pleasure in people thinking I'm wonderful and smart and wise. Because of that weakness, I tried running anything that would tempt me. I didn't want to experience that spike of happiness when someone told me that I was amazing. I didn't want to be crushed when someone corrected me. I didn't want my pride, and so I didn't want to face my pride. I wanted to bury it. And sometimes, the right choice is to bury it. Sometimes it's better to run in the opposite direction. However, I have learned that sometimes the right choice is to face it and keep practicing day after day after day after day after day. When it comes to serving in the Lord's kingdom and not seeking personal glory, there really isn't another way. We are all asked to serve in one form or another. It is a responsibility to serve, which means you have to face the idea that someone is going to thank you for your service, and you're going to have to face the weakness that isn't gone yet. So what do you do? Let's discuss a general principle and then a couple of more practical tips. General principle: You practice day after day after day after day after until you become. We battle our desires for glory until our desires no longer automatically jump towards glory. You school them. You become someone who knows better. That's really what life is. You come down here and continually fight sin and weakness and consciously take hold of the direction of your growth. This is the overarching principle. Here are some practical tips to help you fight that weakness when you're presented with it: It is easier to fill your life with good than it is to push out bad. Replace your pride with something that is more lasting, more important, more filled with joy. When I'm struggling to fight off desires for glory and it's interfering in my ability to build the kingdom, I pray for a couple of things. To see things clearly. I pray to help me see things as they really are. If I can see reality, then I don't have to fight off feelings that I'm amazing and doing it all on my own. He helps me see the truth of how He's holding me up. Beware of this one in high pressure environments; He is willing to teach you and let you flop on your own. Gratitude. Rather than praying for gratitude (though that's an option too), I just start being grateful within a prayer. When I start having those intrusive thoughts that say, “You're the best. You help everyone. You're so amazing. Everyone is lucky to have you,” I replace them with, “You are so lucky that Heavenly Father is taking you along for the ride. You are so blessed to be around these people who are carrying things you don't understand. You are fortunate to be able to learn from them and be with them.” Oftentimes, when I start praying and focusing on gratitude, my feelings follow and the desire for glory gets silenced. It can't stand up to that. Charity. I mentioned earlier that Christ probably knew being honored was a part of making the sacrifice. It would be almost silly to pretend that's not the case. Rather, the key here is that Christ wasn't seeking glory. He would have done it without the glory because He just loved us so much. When I'm feeling prideful or wanting glory, I pray for charity to replace it. Loving others and wanting what's best for them fills you. Trying to get enough validation and appreciation is like trying to fill a cup that has no bottom. Filling yourself with love for others pushes that cup aside completely and you find yourself overfilling. I testify that our Savior is the ultimate example. He is the ultimate example in laying aside His own will, but He's also the ultimate example in being so filled with love that glory seems silly. It's not about the glory. He wants our love for sure; that brings Him joy. He knows how to live an eternal life that allows happiness rather than emptiness, and He set the example of filling yourself with love rather than glory in order to find that happiness.

First Fruit, No Leftovers: Stop Giving God What's LeftIn this episode, we're having an honest conversation about what it really means to put God first—not just in words, but in action. Too often, we give God our leftovers: the extra time after we're exhausted, the talent we use only when it's convenient, and the resources we offer once everything else is taken care of. But Scripture calls us to something deeper—to bring God our first fruit, not what remains.This episode is an invitation to examine how we steward our time, talent, and God-given treasures. Are we offering God our best, or just what's left? Through reflection, conviction, and encouragement, we'll explore how true surrender shifts our priorities and transforms our walk with God. When God comes first, everything else finds its rightful place.✨ Key Scripture: Proverbs 3:9, Romans 12:1

12/21/2025 A Giving God by Grumlaw Church

What do you give a God who has everything?  Your YES.  Giving God our wholehearted "yes" sets the stage for a divine exchange that can impact generations. Discover what it truly means to give God everything you're not, and receive everything He is.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Ever have that friend or foe who just always interrupts you? Like they literally can't help themselves. I once had a counseling appointment with a mom dad and son. They were there for their son who was in some trouble. But this dad literally interrupted every persons sentence… every sentence. I finally snapped and said if you interrupt anyone again I am kicking you out of my office… it took 2 seconds…. 2 SECONDS and I had to kick him out. I hate people who interrupt!      SCENE THREE   Mark 5  The Physical    21 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet. 23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. 25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” 31 “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?' ” 32 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”     V. 33 trembling with fear Here is the secret… can fear and faith work together? TREMBLING GK  TREMOUSA TREMOR.. UNEASY Don't make it about me FEAR GK. PHOBEO Alarmed due to reverence -      ***If you have never seen the grand canyon… and I take you to it and pull the blindfold off of it… the response should be awe in the sight of it - AND NOT YOU ARE SO AWESOME FOR TAKING ME HERE! Our faith is most effective and most powerful when it is about wanting God to get the glory, the attention.  Its simply: Giving God glory, building his kingdom vs. Getting the attention and building our brand/empire

Surrendering is a tough concept. Only with God is it a safe bet because He is good and His intentions toward are always for our best. The flip side of surrender is trust. Giving God what we treasure is trusting God with the vulnerability of our hearts. His best for us is often seen in the tears of letting go of those things and people who mean the most to us. He knows you. He will never give you less than His best.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

A Series on the Psalms: November 2, 2025

Jude closes his letter with a doxology, a word of praise. Giving God praise has more to do with who He is than what is going on around us. When we know who God is, we are able to worship and give Him the praise He is worthy of. We were made to know and enjoy God, and worship is due to Him at all times. In Jude 24–25, we see that God is able to save us, protect us, and present us. He is our Savior, the one who rescues us from danger and delivers us from wrath. Once He saves us, we are His forever. He is able to keep us from falling and to present us blameless and spotless in His presence. Jesus has done the work for us. Our response is to confess, believe, repent, and give all glory to the One who is able.

Joey shares practical ways to reclaim time and attention, including simple steps like five minutes a day away from your phone, accountability within small groups, and setting "phone-free" zones for family or worship. Greg and Joey also explore how church leaders can model digital wellness within their teams using ReclaimWell, an app that helps track intentional time spent away from devices. The conversation closes with encouragement for leaders to lead by example, prioritize presence, and put down their phones—literally—to restore focus and relational depth.   Podcast Contents: 00:00 – 01:10 | Introduction: Greg Nettle welcomes Joey Odom and sets up the topic of technology and faith. 01:10 – 02:30 | The rise of digital discipleship—and the problem of "digital thorns." 02:30 – 06:00 | How our relationship with phones mirrors childhood attachments and impacts relationships. 06:00 – 08:45 | Practical steps to break constant proximity and reshape habits. 08:45 – 11:00 | Building healthy phone boundaries in families and small groups. 11:00 – 13:30 | Swapping phones, redefining dependence, and Jesus' parable of the thorns. 13:30 – 17:00 | Introducing ReclaimWell—a wellness and productivity tool for digital balance. 17:00 – 21:00 | How the app works: habit loops, team leaderboards, and tracking intentional time away. 21:00 – 23:00 | The power of "Let me put down my phone" and valuing relationships. 23:00 – 25:00 | Giving God the first fruits of your day—disconnecting to reconnect spiritually. 25:00 – 28:45 | How churches can adopt ReclaimWell and lead staff in digital wellness. 28:45 – 29:05 | Closing thoughts and call to action: visit reclaimwell.com.

What gets your attention first thing in the morning? I've been reminded lately how important it is to give God the “first fruits” of my day - before the to-do list, before the noise, before the distractions. Just a few quiet moments with Him changes everything.

When a person becomes a Christian, there's a deep sense of relief; you're made right with God, forgiven of every sin, and promised heaven. That's absolutely amazing news for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ alone! But believing is just the beginning of God's plan for us. Too often people stop there, without realizing that God wants our believing to lead to becoming all He's designed us to be. In this series, From Believing to Becoming, we'll look at the simple yet life-changing practices that help us grow as followers of Jesus, guided by the Lakeshore purposes (5 G's) of Grace, Growth, Groups, Gifts, and Giving to God.

When is the last time you gave a gift to God?

Pastor Lindsay's sermon begins with two illustrations—a child questioning the need for sleep and a phone plugged into the wrong charger—to show how rest and connection are vital to life. Just as our bodies need rest to be restored, our souls need worship to be spiritually renewed. The message connects to the church's five spiritual practices—Gather, Get Connected, Grow, Go, and Give—rooted in Acts 2:42–47. This sermon focuses on Gathering, or worshiping God. The biblical concept of First Fruits teaches that God deserves our first and best—our time, devotion, and resources. Worship means placing God above everything else and adoring Him for who He is. Psalm 103 gives reasons to worship: God forgives, heals, saves, loves, and sustains us endlessly. True worship is not passive attendance but offering our whole being—our thoughts, emotions, doubts, and gratitude—to God. Worship isn't about what we get out of it, but about honoring God because He is worthy. Yet, as a side benefit, worship restores our spirit, just as sleep restores the body. The sermon shares powerful examples of worship's impact—from personal experiences of deep connection during services to stories of global believers finding joy in worship despite hardship. Ultimately, worship honors God and transforms us. It reminds us of God's goodness, recenters our hearts, and renews our spiritual strength. The invitation closes by urging everyone to “praise the Lord and forget not all His benefits,” finding rest and restoration in Him. fmhouston.com
