Sermon Summary: Genesis – Session 1 (In the Beginning, God) Genesis Establishes God as Creator The sermon opens by affirming that everything begins with God. Genesis declares without argument or apology that God existed before time and created all things. Creation is not an accident or a theory—it is the deliberate work of an eternal, sovereign God who stands outside of time and sees the end from the beginning. God's Word Is Supreme Scripture emphasizes that God has magnified His Word above His name. Heaven and earth will pass away, but God's Word stands forever. Faith begins by trusting what God has spoken, not human reasoning, philosophy, or cultural opinion. Creation Reveals God's Authority and Accountability God's role as Creator establishes Him as the final authority and judge. Humanity's rejection of Genesis is willful, because acknowledging God as Creator also means acknowledging accountability. Scripture teaches that creation itself leaves mankind without excuse. Genesis Is the Foundation of All Scripture The first chapters of Genesis lay the groundwork for every major biblical doctrine. To remove Genesis is to undermine the entire message of redemption. Jesus Himself affirmed Moses and the Old Testament, confirming Genesis as historical and authoritative truth. The Spirit Hovering Reveals God's Redemptive Heart The description of the Spirit of God hovering over the waters reveals God's desire to bring order out of chaos. This is not abandonment, but divine presence. It reflects God's heart to redeem what is broken, dark, and formless. Creation Foreshadows Salvation Genesis 1 presents a picture of salvation: humanity is without form, void, and in darkness, until God speaks light into existence. Salvation begins when the Spirit moves and God's light enters a person's life, bringing order, purpose, and life. God's Patience and Longsuffering Through examples such as Methuselah, the sermon highlights God's extraordinary patience. God delays judgment because He desires repentance and relationship. Humanity's continued rebellion is not due to ignorance, but refusal to yield. Faith Begins with Yielding to God True faith starts by yielding to God's authority. Attempts to reverse the order—starting with man instead of God—lead to false theology and spiritual deception. Everything must begin with God and flow from Him. God Desires Relationship, Not Robots God gave humanity a will because relationship requires choice. He risked rejection so love could be genuine. From creation to redemption, God's purpose has always been to restore fellowship with humanity through Jesus Christ. Final Call: Let There Be Light The sermon concludes by reminding believers that the greatest question in life is what one does with Jesus. God still speaks light into darkness, offering salvation, order, and eternal life to those who will yield to Him. Nothing else ultimately matters apart from knowing Christ.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This episode explores what it truly means to belong to God and to live as vessels of His Spirit. Drawing from Paul's words in Corinthians, the conversation centers on the profound truth that we are the temple of God and no longer our own. True freedom comes not from external circumstances but from yielding our will to His and allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell, renew, and govern our lives. Through shared insights, the family veils how living as God's possession breaks the bondage of the soul-flesh nature and brings us into freedom, love, and purpose. The episode emphasizes the power of relationships within the body of Christ, the necessity of prayer for one another, and the reality that no one stands alone—we stand because others uphold us. Communion, humility, and faith become the pathways into transformation and deeper oneness in His Spirit. Show Notes • We are God's temple. The Holy Spirit dwells in us, not as a theological idea but as a present, active reality. • Submission brings freedom. Yielding our will to His produces the peace, joy, and love that true freedom is made of. God is the potter—we are the clay. • Freedom from the soul-flesh nature “For freedom we have been set free.” We escape bondage only by the Spirit, never by self-effort. • We belong to Him Accepting ourselves as His possession removes fear, doubt, and striving. It frees us to serve His purposes without burden. • The essential ministry of the body No one stands alone. We are upheld by each other's prayers, love, and intercession. Every believer has a ministry of love and edification. • Communion as transformation We partake of His body and blood not as ritual, but with sincerity, inviting His nature into our present circumstances. • Praying for one another
Sermon Summary: “Yielding – Our Will vs. God's Will” 1. Yielding Is the Greatest Spiritual Battle The sermon opens by showing that yielding to God's will is the greatest struggle every believer faces. Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane reveals that His most intense battle was not the cross, but surrendering His will to the Father. Once Jesus yielded, the cross became inevitable and victory was secured. 2. The Flesh vs. the Spirit Jesus' words—“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”—describe the ongoing conflict believers experience. Outside of Satan, our greatest enemy is our own flesh. This battle does not fade with age or maturity; it remains a lifelong challenge requiring vigilance, prayer, and humility. 3. Factors That Work Against Yielding Several forces resist surrender to God: A fallen nature inherited from Adam Pride and self-reliance Presumption about tomorrow Subjectivity toward God's Word Lack of prayer and a renewed mind These pressures cause believers to resist God's authority and delay obedience. 4. Yielding Is the Path to Blessing Surrender is not loss—it is the doorway to blessing, peace, and clarity. Yielding acknowledges God's wisdom, authority, and foresight. When believers refuse to yield, they restrict themselves and miss what God intends to accomplish through them. 5. True Wisdom Is Willing to Yield From James 3, the sermon contrasts earthly wisdom with godly wisdom. Wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, and willing to yield. Self-seeking and envy are identified as destructive, opening the door to confusion and spiritual harm. 6. Subjectivity Is a Spiritual Trap The fall of Adam and Eve illustrates the danger of being subjective with God's Word. Satan convinced Eve that God was withholding something, leading her to replace God's truth with personal reasoning. The sermon warns against the modern lie of “living your own truth,” emphasizing that there is only one truth—God's. 7. Setting Yourself Up to Succeed Romans 6 teaches that believers must present (yield) themselves to God, setting themselves up for righteousness rather than sin. Yielding involves changing access points, habits, and environments so the flesh has less opportunity to dominate. 8. Presumption Blocks Obedience Using Psalm 19 and James 4, the sermon warns against presuming upon tomorrow. Life is fragile, brief, and uncertain. Delayed obedience—putting God off for convenience or comfort—often results in missed divine appointments. 9. Yielding Begins at Salvation and Continues Daily Surrender starts when a person comes to Christ and continues throughout life. Many resist salvation itself because they do not want to yield control. God's will requires availability, humility, and obedience in both small and great things. 10. Final Call: Be Available The sermon concludes with a powerful call: Yield fully to God Stop delaying obedience Make yourself available to His will Live with eternal perspective The central truth is clear: no one owns tomorrow—only today. God is looking for people who will say, “Here am I, send me.”
Sermon Summary: “Forgetting What Is Behind You, Living for Christ” A Call to a Year of Yielding The sermon opens with a prophetic emphasis for the new year: a year of yielding. God's will is not accomplished in believers' lives through effort alone, but through surrender. Just as Jesus yielded His will to the Father in Gethsemane, believers are called to yield their strength, plans, and control to God so His purposes can be fulfilled. Sanctification Comes Through Yielding Believers are already perfected in Christ, yet are continually being sanctified. Sanctification is not achieved by striving, but by yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit. Our position in Christ is greater than our current condition, and real spiritual growth requires humility, honesty, and willingness to change. Peter's Failure Reveals the Danger of Self-Confidence Through Matthew 26, the sermon examines Peter's denial of Jesus. Peter failed because he: Refused to believe Jesus' warning Neglected prayer and watchfulness Substituted action for prayer Followed Jesus from a distance Catered to his flesh This progression shows how spiritual drift leads to open denial when believers rely on self-confidence rather than surrender. Yielding Prevents Spiritual Collapse Jesus warned, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.” The sermon explains the difference between falling into temptation and entering into it deliberately. Yielding involves intentionally setting one's life up for spiritual success through prayer, discipline, and obedience. God's Grace Restores the Fallen Despite Peter's failure, God's grace was greater. Fifty days later, Peter stood up on the Day of Pentecost and preached the most powerful sermon in history. This demonstrates that failure does not disqualify a yielded heart. God restores those who repent and trust His grace. Forgetting What Is Behind From Philippians 3, the sermon teaches that many believers are controlled by their past. “Forgetting” does not mean erasing memory, but neglecting its power. Paul deliberately turned away from both sinful and successful parts of his past so he could pursue Christ fully. Yielding Requires Intentional Neglect of the Past Believers must choose to lay aside memories, regrets, accomplishments, and wounds that hinder forward movement. No counselor or circumstance can do this for someone—it is a personal decision empowered by the Holy Spirit. A Unified Pursuit of Christ The church is described as a people who are “with it” because they share the same pursuit, not because of obligation or structure. When believers wake each day seeking to please God, unity naturally follows. Final Call The sermon concludes with a strong call to surrender: Yield fully to God Forget what is behind Press toward the upward call of Christ Live not by sight, but by faith Believers are challenged to enter the new year with renewed commitment, trusting that a yielded life leads to freedom, restoration, and spiritual power.
President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully. The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies). The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well. Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive. Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24. ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life. What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5. Gear matters.Helmet alwaysProper lenses for conditionsRegular ski tuningCheck your bindings if your weight changes! 6. Ski with a buddy.Especially in trees, bowls, or sketchy conditions. My friend being there changed everything.7. Stay positive.This injury was rough. But it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful, healing, and counting the days until I'm back on snow—stronger, smarter, and maybe a little sassier. Final Thoughts: Misadventure or Badge of Honor?At The Travel Brats, we believe travel isn't just beaches and cocktails—it's wipeouts, lessons learned, and stories that make you laugh later (like… much later).My ACL tear was painful, expensive, and humbling. But it taught me how resilient the human body (and spirit!) can be. And when I finally click back into my skis, I'll be ready—with sharpened edges, proper goggles, adjusted bindings, and a whole lot more patience for the unpredictable humans around me.Until then…Stay safe, stay adventurous, and ski smart, Brats. ❄️❤️⛷️

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Dec 9, 2025 Settle your heart before God and recognize the privilege of being invited into His presence. Still yourself, pour out your day before Him, and allow His peace to quiet every distraction. Keep your heart tender, yielded, and moldable—like clay in the hands of a potter—willing for Him to add, remove, break, or rebuild whatever He desires so that you may be aligned to His will. Ask for a unified heart, a heart that fears God, a heart that remains planted, pliable, and responsive to His light. As you prepare for seasons of prayer, fasting, or spiritual assignments, do not stand in the way of God's work in you; instead, welcome every stretching, remolding, and purifying He brings. Pray for divine hunger—an unquenchable longing that draws you and others into deeper pursuit of God. Ask that God Himself plants holy questions, dissatisfaction with lesser things, and supernatural curiosity in those He is calling, so that nothing else can satisfy except His presence. Desire the kind of hunger that breaks through obstacles, persists past resistance, and leads straight to encounters with God. Believe that God can stir longing, guide footsteps, and orchestrate meetings, signs, and pointers that lead people into His purpose. Call upon the Holy Spirit to brood over every environment, gathering, heart, and moment. Ask that every detail—words spoken, songs sung, lights flashing, equipment functioning—become instruments in God's hands, carrying revelation, instruction, and transformation. Pray that God's power overshadow everything as He did in biblical times, making it clear that what is happening is “of God and not of man.” Pray for revival, for generational rescue, for youths and children to be awakened, delivered, healed, and shaped into mighty instruments of righteousness. Intercede for every person involved in teaching, leading, or serving, that they be full of the Spirit, full of wisdom, full of discernment, and able to speak exactly what God wants said—nothing less, nothing more, and always in the right measure for those listening. Pray that every message will carry life, revelation, and divine precision, and that every teacher will discern the spiritual maturity of their hearers so truth is delivered in its proper measure. Recognize that you are called to walk in the resurrection life of Christ even now. Understand that death, sin, sickness, and bondage no longer have dominion over you. Affirm daily that you are dead to sin and alive to God. Present your body as an instrument of righteousness and refuse to share your temple with anything that belongs to darkness. Let the word of God become flesh in you—shaping your thoughts, habits, desires, and responses—until your life testifies of the power of the age to come. Pray that the blood of Jesus covers every space, every arrangement, every person, and every circumstance connected to God's purpose. Send the blood ahead to cleanse, protect, disarm darkness, and secure divine order. Believe that angelic activity increases in places where God intends to move, and that His presence disrupts everything contrary to His will. Declare that oppressed people will not return the same way they came. Speak freedom, healing, restoration, clarity, and destiny alignment over all who encounter God in these moments. Proclaim that hearts will be mended, bodies healed, covenants with darkness broken, addictions destroyed, and lives redirected toward God. Finally, commit to being built up yourself. Do not limit your spiritual growth or accept stagnation. Lay hold of every truth available to you, train yourself in the word, and labor in faith toward every divine promise. Affirm boldly that you are the dwelling place of God, covered by the blood, filled with His Spirit, and unavailable to darkness in any form. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

John discusses Trump praising N.Y. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani following their Oval Office meeting, telling reporters he and the mayor-elect agree on more than they expected. Also, ahead of the Trump/Mamdani meeting the House voted to approve a resolution condemning “socialism,” passing with 86 Democrats in support, including Hakeem Jeffries. Plus, lines of division are forming after a Trump-Putin presented a peace plan for ending the Ukraine-Russia War, with European allies siding with a very defiant and angry Ukraine and Trump taking a very “final offer” stance.

In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you'll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.Topics DiscussedAdjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherdingThe spiritual impact of “Awake '25” and formative influencesHow God leads through intimate relationship rather than forceThe meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridleThe process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trustHow God's hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believerMoving from external pressure to internal responsivenessPractical examples of hearing God's quiet nudges in daily lifeEncouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with GodKey TakeawaysGod desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God's subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.God's lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.Resource LinksDr. Jim Van Gelderen – “0/100” / “God's Theological Continental Divide”(Link placeholder: INSERT 0/100 SERMON URL)Additional sermons by Dr. John Van Gelderen(Link placeholder: INSERT JOHN VAN GELDEREN SERMON COLLECTION URL)Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast(Link placeholder: INSERT FBC PODCAST URL)Current sermon series (Matthew, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Galatians)(Link placeholder: INSERT SERIES PAGE OR MAIN SERMON ARCHIVE URL) If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Title: Season 5 Episode 1 – "Yielding Peaceful Fruit" (Rewire Your Brain Podcast) Summary: Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. In this Season 5 premier episode titled "Yielding Peaceful Fruit," I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives. Season 5 has two new updates to the format- 1) You no longer need to pause and unpause between prompts (this helps minimize an influx of beta brain waves during prayer time) and 2)I have updated the affirmations section to specifically target rewiring over negative neural pathways. Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly. Today's scripture is Hebrews 12:11 and we are talking about areas of our life that God is pruning and areas that have yielded peaceful fruit.

We often talk about “finding balance”... but what if balance begins when we stop holding ourselves up and allow the ground to hold us?In this episode, host Elizabeth Mintun sits down with Mary Sinclair, a movement educator and somatic practitioner, to explore how our relationship with the ground shapes the way we move through life, both physically and emotionally. Mary shares how posture, alignment, and the simple act of yielding can shift us from effort to ease and why learning to yield can be a path to resilience and trust. Whether you're standing at a crossroads, feeling off-balance, or craving more rootedness in your daily life, this episode offers a reminder: you don't have to hold it all up alone.Key TakeawaysGrounding is a relationship, not a technique. True grounding isn't something you “do.” It's an ongoing dialogue between your body and the earth - a mutual exchange of support and trust.Balance begins with yielding. Instead of holding ourselves rigidly upright, we can soften into gravity and let the ground carry some of the weight. Yielding means allowing support.Posture is emotional as much as physical. How we stand and move often mirrors how we meet life. Softening the body's effort to “hold it together” can open emotional and energetic space for ease and flow.Trust grows through the body. Each time we let ourselves feel supported (by the floor, the chair, the breath, etc.), we practice the deeper art of trusting life itself.Resources Mary Sinclair's Website: marysinclairbalance.comThe Be Sanctuary in Columbus, Ohio: https://www.thebesanctuary.org/Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Elizabeth Mintun here.

It's impossible to separate the Holy Spirit from the Gospel of Grace. Unlike the long lists of rules and regulations that administered the law, the Spirit now administers this new covenant and governs the believer in love. The focus has shifted from Old-Testament rules to New-Testament faith; God's commandments are no longer carved in stone but now written in our hearts.

In this episode, we go over yield traps and why abnormally high dividends often signal business stress rather than easy income. We walk through how falling share prices inflate trailing yields, why payout ratios and free cash flow coverage matter, how special dividends can skew TTM yields, and when sector “norms” turn into red flags. To make things easier to spot, we do a sector by sector overview of what is considered a normal yield and what is considered a high and likely unsustainable dividend yield.

The greatest need of the Christian is to "abide" in Christ by being filled/controlled by the Holy Spirit for life and service to the Lord. The Bible does not give specific steps to take to be filled. Instead, it teaches a believer the principles of how to have a consistent walk with the Spirit. Unlike the Holy Spirit permanent indwelling within the true believer at salvation; walking and being controlled by the Spirit is a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day choice by the believer to yield to the Spirit and to depend upon His direction and leading. Being lead by the Spirit is not automatic, it takes a conscious effort by a believer, who must learn to walk with and talk with the Spirit. Please join us now to learn how. 0:00 Review of part 1 – What is the Filling of the Spirit? 1:51 The Key to being filled or controlled by the Spirit. 12:31 The needed desire to walk with and talk with the Spirit. 13:52 Learning to walk at the Spirit's pace and not our own. 17:36 Walking consistently with the Spirit. 22:05 Talking with and hearing the Spirit during your walk with Him. 24:23 Yielding to and dependent upon the Spirit. 25:46 Summary of the actions in our life needed to be controlled by the Spirit.
In part 2 of our study, we go deeper into the practical aspects of prayer by examining Jesus' secret place. Yielding, Crushing, Direction.
Guiding Question: What does it really mean to experience the Shepherd's care in our lives—and how do we follow Him to the high ground of faith? Summary Description: Robert Lewis unpacks Psalm 23:5 in this deeply reflective and encouraging message, helping believers understand how God's care is both profoundly personal and powerfully transformative. This message explores the imagery of the Shepherd preparing a table, anointing with oil, and filling the cup to overflowing—each symbolizing how God provides, heals, and blesses His people. Lewis begins by reminding the congregation that biblical belief is inseparable from action—true belief means following. With humor and honesty, he describes how failing to follow leads to isolation and trouble. He then dives into the three word pictures in Psalm 23:5: the table, representing the Shepherd's advance preparation; the oil, symbolizing healing through the Holy Spirit; and the cup, representing a life overflowing with God's presence and provision. The message is rich with applications, including stories of healing from conflict and emotional wounds. One particularly powerful example involves a pastor reconciling with his aging father—a real-life picture of how the Shepherd's care restores brokenness. Outline: Intro & Psalm Recitation – Congregational reading of Psalm 23 to frame the message. The Psalm's Two Big Themes – Following and experiencing “better.” Defining Biblical Belief – Belief equals following; passive faith is unbiblical. Three Word Pictures in Psalm 23:5: The Table – God's provision prepared in advance, like lush tablelands for sheep. The Oil – Healing for irritations and infections; symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The Cup – A life that overflows with God's presence, peace, and hope. Personal and Pastoral Stories – Including the Civil War letter from Robert's family, illustrating God's care even in death. Practical Application – Believe in God's preparation and keep applying the Spirit's "oil" through surrender and listening. Key Takeaways Biblical belief always leads to action—it means following Jesus as Shepherd. God's care is active, intentional, and preemptive; He prepares “tablelands” for our good. The Holy Spirit is our healing oil, bringing peace amid irritations and freedom from infections like unresolved conflict or unrepentant sin. When we follow, our lives overflow with spiritual abundance, even in hardship. Yielding to God through quiet, honest reflection is the pathway to ongoing spiritual vitality. The Shepherd's care reaches all the way to eternity—our future home is already being prepared. Scriptural References Psalm 23:5 – “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…” John 10:10 – Jesus came to give life “more abundantly.” John 14:2–3 – Jesus prepares a place for His followers. Ephesians 2:10 – God has prepared good works in advance for us. Revelation 19:9 – The marriage supper of the Lamb. 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 – Anointing and sealing by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:14 – Led by the Spirit of God. Recorded 6/5/05
In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig introduces a church-wide season of 40 days of prayer and fasting, encouraging everyone to see it not as an optional add-on or a legalistic demand, but as a gracious invitation to deeper relationship with God. Drawing from biblical examples like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, Romig emphasizes that focused seasons of prayer and renewal are central to Christian life. He outlines three guiding questions for the season: How much do I desire for more? – Encouraging listeners to pray for increased spiritual hunger. When and where will I pray? – Stressing the need for intentional, regular prayer times and places. What kind of fasting might God be inviting me to do? – Urging thoughtful choices to create space for God by letting go of distractions or unhelpful habits. Romig provides practical advice for overcoming challenges in prayer, such as wandering thoughts, and recommends structured prayer methods like the Lord's Prayer or the PRAY acronym. He shares personal insights and references the transformation seen in prayer-focused churches, stating that prayer is the engine that drives spiritual life and community renewal. The sermon ends with a collective prayer, inviting everyone to embrace this season with expectation, make space for God, and yield to His work, trusting that God will bring about spiritual growth and revival during these forty days.

Change is necessary for growth, and if we've been born again, our own lives should demonstrate transformation. Others should be able to look at us and notice some type of difference or alternate route taken as a result of our Christian walk. Yielding to the Holy Spirit's prompting and beginning to think in line with Him begins changing our lives radically. Letting God direct and guide us as we change is similar to the metamorphosis a caterpillar undergoes in becoming a butterfly. When we cooperate with Christ in this process, our lives will be totally different and unrecognizable from what they were previously.

Margaret Laird's life was extraordinary in so many ways. She was born in 1897 in Denver, Colorado. She grew up in a large family, went to college and became a dental radiologist. Though a church goer all her life, it was in college that Margaret first heard the Gospel and received Jesus as her Lord. Put off at first by the idea of leaving America as a missionary, she was nevertheless compelled to yield her whole life to whatever plans God had for her. Yielding to God became the slogan of her life. She went to the Central Republic of Africa in 1924 and spent the next forty years ministering, loving, and sharing the Gospel with the Banda people.
When you and I begin to make the shift from a love that's only for those who are like us and into the true definition of love Jesus taught, we will begin to see real change in the lives of those around us. It becomes the gate by which true transformation and repentance can come - simply by having a Christ like love.
