Blaise Pascal famously said there’s an “infinite abyss” inside us that only an infinite God can fill. “You have made us for yourself, O Lord,” Augustine prayed, “and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” As David put it, like thirsty people in the desert, our whole being “longs” for God (Psalm 63:1). Surprisingly, however, it isn’t only humans that experience longing. God does too. While the infinite God of the universe needs nothing outside Himself to be fulfilled, the Bible says He “longs” to have us back when we stray (James 4:4-5), and repeatedly says He wants a people to call His own (Exodus 6:7; Hebrews 8:10). For thousands of years this longing has fueled God’s missionary endeavors: sending prophets to win back His straying people and ultimately sending His Son to find His lost sheep (Isaiah 30:18; Luke 19:10). The good news is that in the end, this longing will be fulfilled: “They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God” (Revelation 21:3). God and human beings will dwell together (v. 2). Humans long for God and no substitute will satisfy. God longs for humans and no substitute will do. So no wonder there’s rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents (Luke 15:7). When we run to God’s open arms, everyone is fulfilled.

You've been avoiding that thing. Maybe it's one thing. Maybe it's a few. But deep down… you know exactly what this episode is about.For so long, I believed I had to wait for peace before I moved, before I started something, ended something, or took the next step God was asking of me. I thought peace was the sign. The confirmation. The green light.But Scripture tells a different story.In this episode, we're talking about why God doesn't always give peace before obedience and why waiting for the “right feeling” might be the very thing keeping you stuck. We'll walk through what the Bible actually shows us about faith, obedience, fear and how God so often meets us after the yes, not before it.If you've been scared… unsure… anxious… or procrastinating until you feel ready, this conversation is for you. Obedience doesn't require confidence. It doesn't require certainty. And it doesn't require all the right emotions. It only requires trust. Trust in Him.“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” — Luke 11:28Scripture Mentioned:Luke 11:28 · Matthew 26:36–46 · Luke 22:39–46 · Genesis 12:1–4 · Joshua 3 · Matthew 14:22–33 · Deuteronomy 20:8 · John 10:27 · Matthew 4:1–11 · 2 Corinthians 5:7 · Romans 8:28 · John 14:15 · Matthew 6:11 · Matthew 22:37–39Special Note:After recording this episode and sitting with God a little longer, there were a few things He kept putting on my heart that I wanted to add here and will talk about so much more in the future.Obedience isn't only something we push through when it's hard. Over time, it actually can become something we delight in, because it draws us closer to God. “I delight to do your will, O my God” (Psalm 40:8). I know I'm learning this so much right now. Obedience and disobedience also doesn't just affect us. It impacts the people around us in ways we may never fully see. The way we live, love, and follow God can point others back to Him (Matthew 5:16).Something else I'm learning is that obedience isn't something we're meant to put off forever. Tomorrow isn't promised. “You do not know what tomorrow will bring” (James 4:14). Sometimes when God asks us to move, there's an urgency to it, not out of fear, but out of love.And lastly, because you guys know I never want to sell you a prosperity gospel, being obedient doesn't mean everything will go well or feel easy. Some of my most obedient moments actually led me into the hardest seasons of my life. Obedience isn't a guarantee of comfort. Jesus Himself obeyed the Father and still walked through suffering (Matthew 26:36–46). But God promises He will be with us. “I will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).If this episode stirred something in you, keep bringing it to God. He sees your heart, He's patient with you, and He will meet you as you walk with Him.

"How lovely is your dwelling place O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God" (Psalm 84:1-2). Let's begin with a simple question, "What do you want?" Some of you may be looking in the refrigerator to get some breakfast. I'm not interested in your breakfast. This is one of those annoyingly profound questions like what you want your legacy to be. What do you want for your life? or from your life? I get irritated with stories in which a character immediately knows the answer to such a question. I find it depends on the day and the things happening around me. I'm not always sure if there is one thing that I really want. We all have appetites and longings: a bigger house; a faster car; better make-up; successful children; political position. We want many things. But getting these things doesn't satisfy. In fact, they tend to kill us. We humans have an infernal habit of mistaking the things God gives for the God who gives them. We tend to worship the things God gives, rather than God himself. As Paul once wrote, "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised! Amen" (Romans 1:25). God made everything for His glory, to reveal His greatness. The things He created all point back to Him. They remind us that He is our true home, our destination. Sin makes creatures our home rather than God to whom they point. Worshipping God's creation will be our death. The psalmist knew this. He was away from Jerusalem and longed to be home. Not because he worshipped that city but because in Jerusalem was God's temple, God's presence on earth. That is where he encountered God. That was joy. This is even truer for us, followers of Jesus. We are his temple. God is right here, where we are. But do we want him? is he our joy? We can take either of two roads. On the one road, we focus on all the things that we can't enjoy right now and feed our longing for them. The other road is the one the psalmist took. Rather, than feeding his longings for stuff, he fed his longing for God. We can take that road too. We can ask the Spirit to sift our desires so that we increasingly desire him. Then, when someone asks us that irritating question, "What do you want out of life?" we know our answer. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.

“The Priest-King at the Right Hand of Yahweh (Psalm 110:1)” examines Psalm 110:1 by focusing on the Hebrew text and how it has been understood in both Jewish and Christian interpretations. The author explains that Yahweh (God) speaks to “my Lord,” whom he identifies as the Messiah—a figure greater than David though his descendant—and critiques interpretations that use the verse to argue for Christ's deity. Instead, the article emphasizes that the passage highlights the Messiah's superiority to David through his resurrection and exaltation to God's right hand, not that he is another divine being equal to Yahweh. The author distinguishes between the Hebrew names/titles for God and “my Lord”, arguing the latter refers to a human superior whom God has elevated, and supports this with New Testament citations showing Jesus' resurrection and exaltation as fulfillment of the promise in Psalm 110.Full text here:https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-priest-king-at-right-hand-of-yahweh.html

What can we do as servants of God?

In this sermon, Pastor Jeff concludes an Advent series by exploring the theme of divine love through a comparison of microscopic and telescopic perspectives. He argues that the human heart's natural tendency is to act like a microscope, zooming in on personal hardships until they dominate one's field of vision and obscure faith. To counter this, he encourages the congregation to adopt a telescopic view, which brings the immense scale of God's affection and grace into clear focus. By referencing the biblical examples of David and Mary, the speaker illustrates how individuals can intentionally pivot from magnifying their anxieties to exalting the greatness of Christ. Ultimately, the text serves as a pastoral invitation to recognize the incarnation as the ultimate evidence of a love that is larger than any earthly struggle.Support the showThanks for listening!

The Love of God Psalm 86:8-15 8  There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9  All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10  For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. 11  Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. 12  I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. 13  For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. 14  O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them. 15  But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

Psalm 73:15-18 New Living Translation   15 If I had really spoken this way to others,     I would have been a traitor to your people. 16 So I tried to understand why the wicked prosper.     But what a difficult task it is! 17 Then I went into your sanctuary, O God,     and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. 18 Truly, you put them on a slippery path     and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.
