In this powerful message from the Midweek Church Service, Reverend Tim Gutmann encourages believers to live with a daily awareness of God’s presence and leadership. Reflecting on Israel’s journey through the wilderness, the sermon highlights how the Lord led His people by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night — a visible reminder that they were never alone and never without direction.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, the message reminds us that Israel’s story was written as an example for believers today. Despite witnessing miracles, many still grumbled and doubted, yet faithful men like Caleb and Joshua trusted that God was greater than every obstacle. Reverend Tim connects this to the New Testament reality that believers are now led by the Holy Spirit, who guides, convicts, comforts, and directs our steps just as surely as the cloud and fire led Israel.

The sermon also emphasizes that spiritual victory does not come through human strength or self-reliance, but through surrender to God’s will. Referencing King Jehoshaphat’s prayer, “The battle is not yours, but the Lord’s,” the message calls believers to fix their eyes on God rather than their circumstances. Instead of treating God as someone who blesses our plans, we are urged to submit our lives to His leading, saying, “If the Lord wills.”

With pastoral warmth, the message reassures viewers — including those who are housebound or watching from home — that they are not forgotten. God has a purpose for every believer, and a life yielded to His Spirit can still be powerful in prayer, faith, and obedience. The call is simple but deep: be available to God, be sensitive to His Spirit, and let Jesus be lifted high in every area of life.
