Closer Pt. 1 | August 10, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisJoel 2:12-13 (NLT) That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don't tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.√  WE GET COMFORTABLE WHERE WE ARE. Revelation 3:16 (MSG) I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot - far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless.√  WE ASSUME WE HAVE MORE TIME. Joel 2:12 (NIV) “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart…”2 Corinthians 6:2 (GNT) Hear what God says: “When the time came for me to show you favor, I heard you; when the day arrived for me to save you, I helped you.” Listen! This is the hour to receive God's favor; today is the day to be saved!√  WE CARRY THE WEIGHT OF SHAME.Mark 5:33 (NLT) Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done.Shame is the fear that if you are fully known, you will be fully rejected. Grace is the promise that you are fully known - and still fully loved.RETURN TO MEI. PUSH PAST THE DISTRACTIONS.Mark 10:48 (MSG) When he heard that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus! Mercy, have mercy on me!” Many tried to hush him up, but he yelled all the louder, “Son of David! Mercy, have mercy on me!”Hebrews 12:1-2 (TLB) Let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the race that God has set before us.II. BRING YOUR WHOLE HEART TO GOD. Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT) For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.Prayer is the natural out-gushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine without any conscious effort on the part of the branch but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds and blossoms and produces fruit out of souls abiding in Jesus.  - Charles SpurgeonIII. MAKE SEEKING GOD OUR PASSION.Psalm 63:1 (NLT) O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.Psalm 27:8 (MSG) When my heart whispered, “Seek God,” my whole being replied, “I'm seeking him!”

In this episode of Elevate the Day, co-hosts Jennifer Covello and Karen Jensen Salisbury explore the profound impact of God's guidance in our decision-making processes. We've all been there—making a choice that, in hindsight, wasn't the right one. But the story doesn't end there. In this week's episode of Elevate the Day, we explore how to rally after a wrong decision by leaning on God's wisdom, surrounding ourselves with wise and godly counsel, and extending grace to ourselves.Discover how God's mercies, which are new every morning, make it possible to start fresh no matter how far off track we've wandered. Through practical steps and biblical encouragement, you'll learn how to:• Seek God's wisdom before and after making decisions.• Consult with wise and godly counselors who can offer perspective and guidance.• Forgive yourself when you stumble, knowing God is faithful to forgive.• Embrace the truth that His mercies are new every day and His plans are still good.If you've been holding on to regret or replaying the “what-ifs,” this conversation will help you release the past, receive God's forgiveness, and move forward with confidence.“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV)

By Craig Scott - Implicit in saying "seek to God while He may be found" is the alternative... that there may be a time when you cannot find Him.

What about Receiving Church Members Without a Vote How does your church receive new members without voting? Do the people have a say like they do with affirming elders? 28:00Lying and Revelation 21:8 — Do biblical prohibitions on lying apply universally, even in extreme scenarios?

Are Baptists the only “bride of Christ”? 1:06:55Calvinist Preaching Expectations If a Calvinist pastor never preaches explicitly on the doctrines of grace, is that a failure?

Hey Mama,  Anxiety and stress in children is skyrocketing in our society today. With the overstimulation of modern technology and access to more information than we need, it can be hard to process through our emotions and feelings. Unfortunately, society today celebrates the suppression and numbing of our feelings and emotions through non-stop dopamine hits of social media scrolling, nightly wine celebrations for surviving our children for the day, and pushing medications that can make us feel numb.  But what if, instead of numbing our feelings, we preach to them? What if we acknowledge the feelings and then we put them to the test against the TRUTH- God's truth- to engage in the battle of God's truth versus lies we are agreeing with.  Join me today as I share with you 3 simple ways to help teach your children how to seek God when they are stressed.   For His Glory, Christen   I would love to hear from you!  >>Leave a Review >>Connect with me:   Sign Up for Manage In The Moment Coaching Call: https://bit.ly/ManageStressInTheMoment   Email me : naturalwellnessforbusymoms@gmail.com  Sign Up to Become an Insider: https://bit.ly/naturalwellnessinsider  Join Our FREE Facebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1789472588229094  >>Find Related Products Here: https://bit.ly/m/Natural-Wellness-for-Busy-Moms  >> These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Call on God and he will answer you. Seek God, and you will find him. Ask God, and you will receive his Spirit. Knock on the door of God's heart, and he will open it. Cry out to God in faith. Our souls will be strengthened and uplifted.By Rev. In Kee Kim

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on April 27, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    Some people will want to help us but they might not be able to do so.  They do not know the future, but God knows the future.  Other people are actually enemies of God, doing fleshly plans, and trying to get us to do what they do.  Some would lead us but they do not know the will of God for us.   When God gives me a word, I know I can do that plan safely.   The devil brings his thoughts to steal, kill, and destroy me.  (John 10:10)   Humans bring their own ideas, but those ideas are risky.   Proverbs 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.   It is only God that I can fully trust!   Ephesians 4:21    If so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: (the Word)   *****   James 3:16   For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.   *****   James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.   I can say to a human, "You might be right."   But when God brings me a word by HIS Spirit I can "know" that word is right.   Seek God.  Ask God.   Proverbs 3:6   In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and HE shall direct thy paths.   (When we are trying to hire someone to do something, there could be a "hidden agenda".  Therefore ask God what to do.)   ***   II Timothy 3   This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.   2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,   3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,   4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;   5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.   13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.   14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of Whom thou hast learned them;   ***   Jesus says:   Matthew 24   3 And as HE (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?   4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.   5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.    (They come saying "Jesus is Lord", and because they say that we tend to listen to them, and they deceive many.)    12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many (for the Word of God) shall wax cold.   13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.   ***   Job 13:15  Though HE slay me, yet will I trust in HIM: but I will maintain mine own ways before HIM.  

"Do not worry about your life." Easier said than done, right? Jesus invites us to shift our perspective: from anxiety to trust, from control to connection. Seek God's kingdom first, and watch how it transforms your worries into opportunities for faith, grace, and purpose.

Seek God trust the process and allow God full control over your life . Better information and guidance when God is in control

She chased fame from Nigeria to Hollywood — writing songs, starring in films, and rubbing shoulders with celebrities. But behind the glitz was darkness: abuse, manipulation, spiritual attacks, and demonic encounters. Just when death seemed inevitable, Jesus stepped in.

God is slow to anger, not quick to anger. God make my heart like yours. Repent and live! Seek God and live. Speaker: Aaron Withrow Scripture: Jonah 4

Most people who make an attempt to know God miss Him because they seek only his hand and not his face. All men need God, and all men seek his hand. Only those who seek his face find that relationship that God made possible through his plan of redemption for sinful man. Learn to love the Giver and not just the gift.

We all want to put Jesus first but often find ourselves doing the very things we don't want to do. In this message, Pastor Tyler explores the gap between desire and reality, where the tension of faith lives. Starting in Matthew 6:33 and landing in Romans 7, we're reminded that seeking God is the goal, but it's grace, not perfection, that keeps us going.Questions for Reflection:• Where in your life do you feel the tension between what you want spiritually and what you actually do?• What is one “lesser priority” you need to surrender to truly put Jesus first?

July 6, 2025  Have you forgotten what it is like to dream again? God's people had a time like that, too. In fact, Psalm 126 was written during a time of Exile in the anticipated hope of return. While we are not in the same place as the Jews were in Exile, there is something about the character of God for us to glean even today! Listen in as Pastor JoAnn Johnson helps us trust in God's restorative power. In this message, you will be: Encouraged and challenged to dream God's dreams for you again. Seek God for miracles and breakthroughs.

What does God expect from those who shepherd his people? In this message, we explore the Lord's expectations for spiritual shepherds—not according to the world's standards of charisma or popularity, but according to faithfulness, humility, and sacrificial love. Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and Ezekiel 34, we reflect on the tragic failures of Israel's past leaders and the ultimate hope found in Jesus, our Good Shepherd. Jesus doesn't just model faithful shepherding—he is the Shepherd. He laid down his life for his sheep and still continues to care for us today through faithful pastors who proclaim his Word and administer the Sacraments. This sermon is both a call to appreciate and pray for our current shepherds and an encouragement to raise up the next generation of ministers and teachers of the gospel. As our church body faces many pastoral and teaching vacancies, how might God be calling you to encourage someone to serve?

Putting God First Will Change Your Marriage If you're anything like me, you've found yourself caught in the swirl of responsibilities, relationships, expectations... and distractions. It's so easy to let the noise of life drown out the voice of God. Even in marriage—especially in marriage—it's easy to start placing our hope in the wrong thing. And when we do that, even the good things, like marriage, can become shaky ground. But what if the real anchor isn't your spouse, or your role, or your routine—but your relationship with God? Why Putting God First Can Transform Your Marriage We live in a world of constant input. Notifications, streaming, social media, endless to-dos. And if we're not intentional, those distractions steal our attention—and with it, our peace, our purpose, and our priorities. I've found that when I step away from it all—when I intentionally remove the distractions—I can finally hear God clearly again. Whether it's walking in nature without my phone or sitting in a quiet space with my journal, those moments of silence are sacred. They realign me. Because when God is clear, everything else becomes clear, too. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” —Matthew 6:33 How Husbands Can Become Spiritual Leaders in the Home Husbands, you are called to lead your home—not because you have all the answers, but because God entrusted you with that role. Leadership doesn't mean control. It means surrender. It means taking responsibility, laying down pride, and anchoring your identity in Christ—not in your wife's response. If your stability is based on her reactions, your leadership will always be shaky. But when your eyes are on Jesus, you can lead with strength, consistency, and peace—even if the journey is slow. “The wise man built his house on the rock… and it did not fall.” —Matthew 7:24-25 (paraphrased) What Biblical Respect Looks Like for Christian Wives Wives, I get it. Maybe you feel like you've had to take the reins because your husband hasn't. Maybe you feel stronger spiritually. Maybe you're just more organized. But leadership is about role—not ability. And when we as wives step out of our God-given role, we accidentally make it harder for our husbands to rise into theirs. Respect doesn't mean silence or enabling. It means honoring the role God has given him, even when it's hard. And when you do? It makes your husband feel safe, trusted, and invited to lead. Should I Still Respect My Husband If I Don't Trust Him? If your husband has let you down—or worse, betrayed your trust—you might wonder: “How do I respect a man who hasn't earned it?” That's real. But our motivation as believers isn't based on someone else's worthiness. It's based on God's worthiness. You can walk in wisdom, set boundaries, and still respect the role. Because when you show honor, you're honoring God first. (Need more on this? Search our site for our podcast: “Respect an Untrustworthy Man”) Why Most Marriages Struggle Without Spiritual Rhythms If you've been running on empty, it may be time to return to spiritual rhythms. Daily time with God. Weekly check-ins with your heart. Monthly reflection. These aren't just good habits—they're lifelines. They give you clarity, patience, and power to live out your role with joy. Even if your personality makes this hard (mine does too!), it's worth fighting for. Your family's health depends on your spiritual nourishment. What “Helper” Really Means (And It's Not What You Think) In Genesis 2, God calls Eve a “helper”—and the original Hebrew word ezer is used most often to describe God Himself as our rescuer, protector, and strength. Wives, this means your role is powerful, not passive. You have the God-given ability to uplift, empower, and even save your husband in ways no one else can. Not through control, but through encouragement, respect, and faith-filled love. When Leadership in Marriage Gets Out of Order The fall of man in Genesis didn't start with an affair or abuse. It started with misplaced leadership. Adam was present. He knew the truth. But instead of leading, he followed. Instead of obeying God, he obeyed his wife. Men, this is your reminder: you are responsible. And women, if you want your husband to lead, you have to let go of the wheel. Restoring biblical order doesn't mean a power struggle—it means peace, protection, and purpose. What to Do When You Feel Hopeless in Your Marriage You might be reading this with tears in your eyes. Maybe your marriage is hanging by a thread. Maybe you've tried everything, and nothing has worked. Maybe you're ready to give up. Don't. God sees you. He hasn't forgotten you. And no matter how far things have gone, there is still hope. Even if your spouse doesn't change right away. Even if it's just you taking the first step. Seek God first. Love your spouse like Jesus. And trust that God will do the rest. Where there is breath in the lungs, there is hope.   With love,   The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS – Ready to take the next step and learn more about our Coaching Programs?

PPPS - Here's a quote from a recent graduate: "When I started DYM, I was desperate to save my marriage. When Dana told me that I could do more than just save my marriage, but could actually enjoy it, I literally laughed at her. I had given up hope of having a happy marriage. All I wanted was to avoid divorce at all costs. Here we are a year later, expecting our third sweet baby… I did in fact, by Gods grace, do more than save my marriage!! I actually genuinely LIKE my husband!! We are happy and healing and couldn't be more grateful. God bless DYM. Thank you for having hope for my marital happiness, even when I did not."

Wednesday Night Service on 7/2/25 "Consider What?" - Brother Darren Hansen     "Let's Seek God" - Brother Clint Playle

It seems that God is seeking to draw all of us closer to Him. How close are you to the Lord? Where do you have compromises? Where do your personal values counter God's eternal, Kingdom values? To what sin do you easily yield to? Selfishness? Pride? Anger? Gossip? Self-promotion? Lust? Pornography? Fornication? Harmful habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, overeating? Worry? Drug addiction? God is asking us to lay aside distractions before Jesus returns, so that His power and glory can flow unhindered through us. The greatest move of God the world has ever seen is right in front of us! He wants us to get ready for it!

The Bible tells us words are powerful tools that can be used for good or ill. Seek God's understanding to see the impact of how our words spoken with wisdom, grace, and truth build up ourselves and others, and reflect the power of God's word in our lives. Use faith-filled words! Words become faith words by hearing the Word of God.  Hearing the Word of God is not passively listening but actively receiving, understanding, and applying its truths to our lives. Hearing this way continuallyleads to a deeper and more robust faith that remains. Ask God for help with our words – to use them wisely and responsibly!  We will be held accountable for our words at the judgment.  Take the Word at face value and live it!
