This is a milestone Sunday. Today we mark 9 years since our launch as a church. As we pause to reflect on God's goodness, Pastor Dom guides us through a miracle meant to shift our views about God and His promises to us. No matter what you are going through, our prayer is that you would get serious about Giving God your Best, not just what's Left. Only then will you know that even your good plans are no match for His greater promises.

More than Taxes: Giving God What Is His
More than Taxes: Giving God What Is His
Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Throughout the Bible we see the principle of First Things. The fact is the first releases the rest. Tithing is an important covenant act, because it resets Lordship in our lives. When we honor God with the first of our increase, we release His lordship over our finances and prevent the influence of the Spirit of Mammon. The enemy knows what happens when we put God first. Giving God our first 10% is something we cannot afford not to do.
What areas do we let Satan get into that he can use against us? David had to get to the root of His problems, and we do too! Giving God the control over our lives, confessing the sin, and finding the freedom He promises us!

Title: The Assurance of Things Hoped ForSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 11:4–7Episode Overview:In this message from Hebrews 11:4–7, we are reminded that the only way to please God is by faith. Abel, Enoch, and Noah each reveal how genuine belief shapes our lives: offering our first and best to God, walking with Him as our greatest reward, and obeying His Word even when it seems unreasonable. Before any doing comes believing—the foundation of our confidence is in Christ's finished work. And yet, by faith, we can live in ways that bring joy to the heart of our Father.Key Highlights:• Faith before works: Why Hebrews insists that believing precedes doing.• Abel's offering: Giving God our first and best because He is worthy.• Enoch's walk: Communion with God as the greatest reward.• Noah's obedience: Trusting God's Word even when it defies human reasoning.• Life application: How faith changes our posture toward God's promises and commands.Call to Action:Ask yourself today: Am I living more like Abel or Cain? Am I treating God as first and best, walking daily with Him, and submitting to His Word? Take a step of faith this week—whether through generosity, intentional time with God, or obedience to His Word—and delight in knowing that by faith, your Father in heaven is pleased.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

In Nehemiah 10, God's people pledged to live fully committed to Him—separating from the world and giving their best in worship, time, and obedience. In this message, we'll be challenged to do the same: to give God our best and encourage others to walk in full devotion.

He offers guidance based on God's law while also considering their current circumstances. He emphasizes that marriage is good and serves as a way to avoid sexual immorality. They must recognize that the marriage commitment is crucial, as he advises them to reject divorce and, if they do divorce, to either remain unmarried or seek reconciliation. Even if married to an unbeliever, commitment and faithfulness can lead to the spouse's salvation. Furthermore, there is value in singleness, as it promotes an undivided focus on God. He advises believers to remain in their current situations, as persecution is approaching for God's people. In every situation, “undistracted devotion to the Lord” is the goal and necessary for both married and single Christians. Christians face various seasons of life, including singleness, marriage, or widowhood. Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 7 that each of these situations is an opportunity to serve God faithfully. Whether married or single, we should focus on honoring God with undivided devotion. In marriage, this means a loving commitment to our spouse, reflecting Christ's faithfulness. For singles, it means embracing the freedom to serve God without distraction. Paul also encourages us to trust God's plan and remain content in the situations He has called us to, knowing He works for our good. This mindset should be evident to the world as we live in purity, faithfulness, and commitment to God's purposes, reflecting His glory in all relationships and circumstances. Giving God, who provides all that we need for life and godliness, thank You for the benefits of marriage. For the married, we commit to faithfulness and patience, living out Your purposes and uplifting souls in our home and everywhere our family has influence. For the unmarried, we pray for their strength to have hope in You, and to use this stage in life to accomplish incredible things in Your kingdom. In whatever circumstance, prepare us to be devoted to You regardless of persecution or trial. Give us contentment where we are and wisdom in whatever may come next. Thought Questions: - Describe the commitment God designed for marriage. What level of trust should exist? How strongly should we work to avoid divorce? - Is it possible for an unbelieving spouse to be “sanctified through” their spouse? How should this encourage believers married to unbelievers? - Singleness is not discussed enough among God's people. In this chapter, what are the advantages for someone who is not currently married?
In this week's episode, we will discuss giving God our leftovers. We will discuss different ways we give Him our leftovers, what He thinks about our leftovers and more.

Giving God's Way - Matthew 6:2-4
No one knows how to reward like our Heavenly Father. As a Father who offered His Best in Jesus, He is moved when we trust Him by offering our best. The reward of offering our best is culminated in us being trusted with what is in His heart, and trusted with the resources and power reserved for those who can be trusted. In this powerful message, Ps. Colin encourages us to be among those people.
God is moving in your life, but you need to see and feel His Spirit moving before you. When you're able to see and give Him the praise for it, it bolsters your faith and becomes a story to share with others. These moments are necessary for you and helpful for others. Look for God to move today and share the news with someone. Don't be discouraged if they don't yet understand. 1 Corinthians 2:14-16 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of ChristFollowing Jesus and enjoying life are not opposite ends of the spectrum. Let's connect to learn more about how that can look in your own life.Let's connect on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn!

1 Chronicles 16 reminds us that gratitude isn't seasonal—it's continual. God is good and His love never ends, so our praise shouldn't either. This message calls us to thank God for who He is, how He saves, and the security He offers. Every breath is reason to say “Amen” and give Him glory.
