This Sunday's Inspirational Message is:

Search Me, O God

The beginning of a new year naturally invites reflection. We talk about fresh starts and clean slates. We think about habits we want to change, patterns we want to break, and goals we want to pursue. Some people write resolutions. Others quietly resolve things in their minds. Either way, reflection seems unavoidable.

And in many ways, that instinct is good. God often uses moments of transition to get our attention. Throughout Scripture, we see God working in seasons—moments where His people are invited to pause, remember, repent, and renew their trust in Him.

Let me explain. God is not primarily interested in surface-level improvements. He is concerned with the heart. Over and over again, Scripture reminds us that outward behavior flows from inward reality. When the heart is aligned with God, the life follows. But when the heart is neglected, even good intentions eventually fall apart.

David understood this. He was a man who experienced towering spiritual victories and devastating moral failures. He knew what it meant to walk closely with God—and he knew what it meant to wander. And through it all, David learned that real transformation begins when we stop defending ourselves and start inviting God to deal honestly with us.
