Yield

October 18, 2026

Proverbs 3:5-6 calls us to trust the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. A near-fatal moment in an intersection is a reminder that the road is never fully in our control, and that God sees the whole intersection while we only see our lane. Closing out the week, the question beneath it all is who is driving, and the invitation is to yield every part of life to the One who makes our paths straight.

No Clever Stories

October 18, 2026

2 Peter 1:16-21 teaches us that our faith is grounded in the eyewitness testimony of those who encountered Jesus and in Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit, not cleverly invented stories. In a world filled with misinformation and competing voices, we can examine what we hear, trust God’s Word as our reliable source of truth, and let it guide us through uncertainty.

Asleep in the Back Seat

The Bush That Wouldn't Burn

Not Orphans

John 14:16-18, 26-27 teaches us that Jesus has not left us to face life alone; the Holy Spirit lives within us to teach, guide, remind, and strengthen us. We can walk into uncertain situations with confidence and peace, trusting that God’s presence goes with us wherever we go.

Same Owner’s Manual

Psalm 127:1-2 reminds us that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. A relationship can have a beautiful view and still be built on sand, and the first real storm will expose the foundation. When two people share the same owner's manual, conflict has a common authority to turn to, and there's a rest that comes from letting God be the architect.

Teach Us

Listen, Known, Follow

John 10:27 reminds us that Jesus is our Good Shepherd who knows us completely, speaks to us, and invites us to follow Him. As we keep listening to His voice and staying close to Him, we can grow in a lifelong relationship of knowing, trusting, and following Jesus.

Heart for the House

Hebrews 10:24-25 calls believers not to give up meeting together but to spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Following Jesus and loving his church can't be separated, and someone who says they love the Groom but wants nothing to do with the bride is missing something important. Look for a person with a genuine heart for the local church, and make sure you have one yourself.

Hungry in the Wilderness

Luke 4:1-4 teaches us through Jesus’ temptation that we do not have to face our weakest moments with willpower alone; God gives us His Spirit and His Word to help us stand firm. By filling our hearts with Scripture before temptation comes, we can respond with truth and trust God instead of giving in.

Ready to Answer

The Umbrella

Ephesians 5:21-25 begins with mutual submission and then calls husbands to love their wives the way Christ loved the church. God's authority is like an umbrella: the protection is right there, but so many of us hold it at arm's length and wonder why we're getting soaked. Authority issues are a hidden cause of relational breakdown, and the call is to stop fighting over the umbrella and step under it.

Before He Did Anything

Matthew 3:13-17 teaches us through Jesus’ baptism that obedience flows from relationship and love, not from trying to earn God’s approval. Because God’s love comes before our performance, we can courageously take public steps of faith and live like we belong to Jesus.
