In this heartfelt message from the Midweek Church Service, Reverend Tim Gutmann continues the series on lessons from Israel’s wilderness journey, drawing key encouragement for believers today. Centering on Hebrews 3, the sermon highlights the urgent call: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”

Reflecting on Israel’s testing in the wilderness, the message contrasts God’s faithfulness with the danger of spiritual hardness. Even after witnessing miracles, many allowed unbelief and complaint to take root. Reverend Tim reminds the church that the same warning and invitation apply now — when God speaks, we are to respond with humility, gratitude, and trust.

A strong emphasis is placed on the cross of Christ as the ultimate reason for a soft and thankful heart. Even beyond answered prayers and daily blessings, the sacrifice of Jesus is more than enough to keep believers in a place of worship and surrender for all eternity.

The sermon also connects this theme to God’s covenant purposes for Israel and the Jewish people, especially in light of Holocaust Memorial reflections. Viewers are encouraged to maintain hearts of love, prayer, and biblical conviction concerning Israel, recognising that we are living in significant prophetic days. Trusting the Lord, fearing Him, and aligning with His heart brings blessing not only to Israel but also to all who belong to Him.

The message closes with a New Testament appeal: now is the day of salvation. This is a time of God’s favour, a time to respond, to pray boldly, and to live with hearts that remain tender and responsive to His voice.

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.

In this faith-building message from the Midweek Church Service, Reverend Tim Gutmann encourages believers to shift their focus from the size of their problems to the greatness of their God. Using the biblical imagery of giants standing before God’s people, the sermon speaks directly to the fears, pressures, and overwhelming situations many Christians face today.

Drawing from well-known Old Testament accounts where God’s people encountered intimidating enemies, the message highlights the difference between those who measured the giants against themselves and those who measured the giants against God. When our perspective is earthly, obstacles appear impossible; but when our eyes are lifted to the Lord, faith rises and fear loses its grip.

Reverend Tim reminds the church that spiritual battles are often won or lost in how we see. Giants may be real, but they are never greater than the promises, power, and presence of God. The sermon calls believers to trust God’s faithfulness, step forward in obedience even when afraid, and remember that victory belongs to the Lord.

This message offers practical encouragement for anyone facing personal struggles, uncertainty, or spiritual opposition, pointing listeners back to a confident faith rooted not in circumstances, but in the unchanging character of God.

In this encouraging message from the Midweek Church Service, Reverend Tim Gutmann addresses the discouragement many believers feel when looking at the state of the world. With constant negative news and growing cultural darkness, Christians can feel as though they are losing ground. The sermon counters this fear by refocusing the church on one of God’s great biblical names: the Lord of Hosts.

Drawing from both Old and New Testament themes, the message explains that “Lord of Hosts” reveals God as the supreme commander over all spiritual and earthly forces. Even when God’s people appear outnumbered, outmatched, or surrounded, they are never truly in the minority. Reverend Tim emphasises the spiritual reality that God plus one is the majority, echoing biblical truths that remind believers of God’s nearness and power.

The sermon also explores the Old Testament idea of covenant loyalty. Belonging to God has never meant a casual or cultural faith, but a life of allegiance, faithfulness, and obedience. Just as Israel was called to remain loyal to the Lord while surrounded by pagan nations, believers today are called to stand firm in a hostile culture without fear.

This message is a pastoral call to lift our eyes from troubling headlines to the sovereign rule of God, renewing confidence that the people of God are never alone, never abandoned, and never truly outnumbered.
