Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2026Title: The Blessed ManPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: The Psalms (Part 2)Passage: Psalm 1:1-6

January 25th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald This weekend, we’re going to dive into one of the most incredible portions of Scripture: Psalm 1. The search for the secrets to life, success, and fulfillment goes back to creation. If people only knew they could find true fulfillment by simply opening their Bibles, devoting their lives to Jesus, and faithfully meditating in God’s Word, everything would change. As we begin our study into the Psalms, God reveals in this first chapter how to attain a life filled with God’s promises, protection, and blessing. It all begins by committing our lives to studying the truth and depth of His Holy Word, the Bible. I look forward to having you worship with us this weekend in person or online. It’s going to be a sweet time in the study of God’s Word together. In Christ, Pastor Chad

This sermon continues the "My Job Depends on Ag" series, using agricultural metaphors to explore the importance of stability and rootedness in the Christian life. Just as trees need to be planted by streams of water to bear fruit (Psalm 1), believers need to stay put—in a place, a community, and a calling—to flourish. However, our culture of hypermobility and fear of commitment (FOMO) often tempts us to run, leading to shallow roots and a lack of fruit.Scripture ReferencesPsalm 1:1-6: The righteous are like trees planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season.Luke 8:26-39: Jesus heals the Gerasene demoniac. The man begs to leave with Jesus, but Jesus commands him to "return to your home" and testify there.Genesis 2:15: God puts Adam in the garden to "work it and keep it," exercising skilled mastery.John 15:1-8: Jesus calls us to "remain" in the vine to bear fruit.Proverbs 27:19: "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."Key PointsThe Power of Staying Put Like trees, we cannot thrive if we are constantly transplanted. Staying put brings:Security: A safe place to grow.Identity: We are shaped by the places we inhabit.Skilled Mastery: Staying long enough to become a "whisperer" in your field or community.The Freedom to Stay The story of the Gerasene demoniac challenges our desire to escape. Though he had every reason to leave his past behind (shame, isolation), Jesus sent him back home. True freedom isn't always going where we want; sometimes, it's the freedom to live a new identity in the same old place.Embrace Obligation and the Ordinary To stay rooted, we must reject the "duty-free" life.Obligation: Belonging requires responsibility. We are members of a body, called to bear with one another, not just consume.Ordinary: Extraordinary lives are built on ordinary habits. Greatness comes from doing consistently what others do occasionally. We must embrace the mundane routines of faithfulness—in marriage, parenting, and discipleship.Conclusion"Everyone wants a revolution, but nobody wants to do the dishes." True discipleship (discipline) happens in the mundane. If we run from obligation and the ordinary, we will never grow deep roots. We are invited to take a vow of stability—to commit to a place, a people, and a purpose—trusting that God will produce fruit in due season.Calls to ActionCommit to Stability: Identify where you are tempted to run (a relationship, a job, a church) and ask God for the grace to stay and grow.Embrace the Ordinary: Stop looking for the "extraordinary" next thing. Commit to the ordinary disciplines of prayer, scripture reading, and faithful presence this week.Invest in Your Marriage: Sign up for the marriage workshop on January 31st to intentionally invest in your relationship.

Meditate On God's Word Always And Hide It In Your Heart Psalm 1:1-6 1Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. 3That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers. 4Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

On the first Sunday of the new year, we turn to Psalm 1 to discover that real happiness isn't found in self-improvement or fresh resolutions—but in a righteousness none of us possess on our own. This sermon reveals how Psalm 1 points us to Jesus, the only truly righteous One, and invites us to find life, stability, and blessing by being united to Him. As Mission Church looks ahead to 2026 and our vision For the One More, we begin the year anchored in the gospel and the grace of Christ.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

So much could be said about these first four chapters as Genesis 1-4 lays a foundation for the rest of Scripture. We learn about a God who creates all things out of His own volition in a way that is well-ordered and executed simply by proclamation. Special attention is given to the creation of mankind in God's own image and God's generous provision for man both before and after sin. Here, too, we see man's relationship with God fall from one of peace, unity, and harmony into one of disorder and division as man rejects God's good design and sins against His Maker.Genesis 1 - 1:12 . Genesis 2 - 7:13 . Genesis 3 - 12:10 . Genesis 4 - 18:11 . Psalm 1 - 23:20 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Plant yourself in Him. Delight in Him. Know the Word, trust the Word, do the Word.

Pastor Patrick Carmichael & occasional guest speakers deliver God's Word at Christ Bible Church's weekly Sunday services. Mission Hills, California.

We begin 2026 by slowing down and seeking God together. Psalm 1 gives us a vision of deep discipleship rooted in God's Word. Before strategy and striving, we pray.

We open a new series on practicing the presence of God by walking through Psalm 1, contrasting the rooted life of the righteous with the weightless drift of the wicked. We explore how delighting in Scripture, resisting compromise, and looking to Jesus form the gateway to true flourishing.• blessedness as deep joy from living with God• the slide from walking to standing to sitting in sin• counsel versus worldview: where we take our cues• delighting in Scripture and meditating day and night• tree by streams: intentional planting and steady fruit• chaff and judgment: what endures and what blows away• Jesus as the righteous One and our sanctification• practical steps to flee sin and build holy habitsIf you're in our area and you don't have a church home, we would love to see you any Sunday morning at First Baptist El Dorado!

Wrong friends can wreck your faith—sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly. In this episode of The Commitment of Faith, Pastor Roderick Webster challenges us with a simple but powerful truth from Psalm 1:1 (KJV): the blessed life depends on the path you choose—and the people you choose to walk with.Pastor Webster connects today's lack of commitment to what we see in relationships, marriages, and even in the church: many people hear God's Word, but don't respond with obedience. And our response is often shaped by our environment—especially our friends.From Judges 11:1–3, we see Jephthah's painful beginning: rejected by family, pushed out, and then surrounded by “vain men.” The wrong crowd can feel welcoming when you're hurting—but it can also pull you away from God's best.This devotion is especially for:anyone feeling pressured by friendsyoung people thinking about leaving homeparents guiding their childrenbelievers who want a stronger walk with God✅ Listen, reflect, and share this with someone who needs wisdom about their circle.Hashtags: #Psalm1 #DailyDevotion #CommitmentOfFaith #FaithWalk #WordsFromTheWord0:00 Living for Jesus (Hymn)0:34 What commitment of faith means1:07 Why commitment is rare today2:02 What you do with God's Word2:37 Every listener responds3:05 Jephthah: a hero of faith3:44 His painful beginning5:05 Cast out by family6:09 “Vain men” + wrong crowd7:20 Psalm 1:1 and the blessed path8:30 Choose your company wisely9:00 What real friends do9:28 Leaving home needs God's guidance10:11 Share this with someone10:30 Closing prayer
