What happens when we invite God to search our hearts and show us what needs to change? In this communion-focused message based on Psalm 139, Pastor Chris guides us through four personal and powerful truths about God’s presence, purpose, and grace. Using humor, video, worship, and real talk, this episode will encourage you to examine your life and walk more closely with Christ.
Key Points:
- Lord, You Know Me – Psalm 139:1–6. God knows everything about us—our thoughts, words, habits, and motives—and still loves us.
- Lord, You Are With Me – Psalm 139:7–12. There is nowhere we can go to escape God’s presence. Even in the darkest places, He is near.
- Lord, You Have a Purpose for My Life – Psalm 139:13–18. God designed us with care and has a plan for our lives that is worth following.
- Lord, Show Me How to Live – Psalm 139:23–24. The psalm ends with a prayer of surrender and spiritual renewal—search me, test me, and lead me.
