In this sermon from Ecclesiastes 5, preacher Danny explores the profound question: "How do wise people enter the presence of God?". He emphasizes that for New Testament believers, God's presence is not confined to a physical church building but is an "active ongoing presence" within those who know Him, as signified by Jesus's name, Emmanuel, meaning "God with us." The sermon outlines practical ways to "guard your steps" in this daily living: by knowing God's Word and engaging in prayer and supplication.Verses Referenced• Ecclesiastes 5• 1 Kings 8:13• Matthew 1:23• Matthew 28:20• 1 Corinthians 3:16• Psalm 119:105• Philippians 4• Matthew 6:7• Matthew 17:6• Matthew 26:39• Matthew 10:28

Life often feels like a carefully planned play, where we prepare, strategize, and expect things to unfold according to our vision. Yet, just as a quarterback can call an audible and change the play at the last second, God sometimes redirects our lives in ways we never anticipated. My own journey as a planner—both in my career as a fire chief and in my personal life—was upended when my wife Deanna went home to be with the Lord. All my meticulous plans were suddenly irrelevant, and I was left to wrestle with the reality of whether I truly trusted God with all my heart, or if I had been relying on my own understanding all along.Proverbs 3:5-6 became a lifeline: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” These words are simple, but their depth is profound. It's easy to say we trust God, but when life's foundation is shaken, we discover the areas we've kept for ourselves, the places where we've asked God to bless our plans rather than seeking His will first. True faith means surrendering every area—family, work, finances, relationships, even our very purpose—to God's direction, making Him the center of our lives rather than just another part.A God-centered life is not about the absence of suffering or loss, but about trusting that God's purposes will prevail, even when we don't understand. We are called to seek Him in all things: through prayer, through the counsel of the Holy Spirit and the community of believers, and through obedience to His Word. God's will is not a mystery reserved for the few; it is revealed as we humble ourselves, relinquish control, and walk in daily dependence on Him. Even in our pain and confusion, God is working all things together for good, drawing us and others closer to Himself.Ultimately, our lives are not about our own achievements or plans, but about glorifying God, growing in Christ, and serving others. The gospel—the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection—is the centerpiece of God's plan, the ultimate expression of His love and purpose for us. We are invited to trust Him fully, to let go of the exhausting burden of trying to be in control, and to rest in the assurance that He is the perfect planner, guiding us every step of the way.

Lead Pastor Don Jackson (PD) continues the Biblical Worldview' series in the book of Romans and in the book of Isaiah. PD uses various scripture passages to paint a picture of the Glory of God. Once we understand more about God's glory, it is easier to entrust our lives to Him. Online Message Notes

God is sovereign over salvation as an expression of His love and for His glory.

Many Christians and churches talk about “community,” but unless that community is formed and continually built up by God's Word, it can become just another gathering where human opinions and human wisdom take center stage. In this message from 2 Timothy 3:10–4:8, David Platt encourages the church to look to Scripture for its wisdom and strength. As God's Spirit applies God's Word to God's people, the church begins to look increasingly like a God-centered community.Explore more content from Radical.

Paul calls the church to a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Christ, not through self-promotion or comparison but through faithful service. Pastor Ben Palka walks through 1 Corinthians 4:1–7, where believers are reminded that they are servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. What matters most is not how others view us but whether we are found faithful by the One who truly judges. Paul warns against pride and boasting, asking, “What do you have that you did not receive?” The call is clear: humility, not self-importance, marks those who live in light of the gospel. The church is invited to rest in God's grace and live not for the praise of people but for the commendation of Christ.

Sermon: The Foundation of Serving God: The Absolute Necessity of God-Centered LivesSeries: ExodusSpeaker: Pastor Tom WilsonText: Exodus 20:1-6Speaker: Pastor Tom Wilson...

  Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 7:18-29  (also 1 Chr 17:16-27) David's response to God's promise to make a name and a house for David is very instructive to us.  David knew God had promised that an everlasting king and kingdom would come from David's descendants (2 Sam 7:19) and his reaction to this promise is worth our consideration. The first lesson for us is that David knew the ultimate reason that God had made this promise . . . and he cites that reason several times in this prayer: ... because of your promise (2 Sam 7:21) ... to redeem to be his people (2 Sam 7:23) ... to make a name for himself (2 Sam 7:23) ... for yourself (2 Sam 7:23,24) ... that your name may be magnified (2 Sam 7:26) David recognized what we see elsewhere in the Bible, namely, that God does everything He does for His eternal honor, as an overflow of His infinite glory.  “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen (Rom 11:36).  (Also see verses on the other side of this sheet) David's reaction to the God-centeredness of God's promise is to be profoundly humbled and to be deeply satisfied.  David's humility is immediately obvious . . . "Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me thus far?" (2 Sam 7:18).  And David's satisfaction in God is seen in the conclusion to His prayer . . . “Now therefore, may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you" (2 Sam 7:29). Being saturated with a God-centered heart is the fountain of humility and contentment and joy and hope.  To understand and love the idea that we are here for God's everlasting honor is to understand life at its deepest level . . . and it is to be truly satisfied.  Verses that show God's passion for His glory He chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.  In love he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace . . . (Eph 1:4-6). Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory  (Isa 43:6,7). I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, even I, am the one who blots out your transgressions for My own sake  (Isa 43:25). Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God  (1 Cor 10:31). He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake  (Psa 23:3). For my name's sake I defer My wrath, and for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off.  Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.  For My own sake, for My own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another  (Isa 48:9-11). Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that the Son may glorify you  (Jn 17:1). Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works, and give glory to your Father who is in heaven  (Mt 5:16). For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea  (Hab 2:14).

Brother Luke's sermon focused on God-centered prayer as taught in Matthew 6, using the Lord's Prayer as a model. He emphasized that true prayer begins with worship, surrender, and dependence on God, aligning our hearts with His will rather than treating prayer as a way to get what we want. Luke illustrated this with historical examples from John Wesley and David Livingston, showing how prayer fuels revival and transforms lives. He concluded with a gospel invitation, urging listeners to trust in Christ and live surrendered lives rooted in prayer.Hashtags: #GodCenteredPrayer #Lord'sPrayer #SurrenderToGod #PrayerLife #TrustInGod
