This past Sunday. Pastor dropped a word that’s still sitting heavy on us. If you really Istened, it wasn’t just a sermon, it was a wake up call. He started by reminding us that feeding is the responsibility of leading. When Jesus told Peter, “Feed my sheep” in John 21, He wasn’t talking about handing out snacks. He was taking about spiritual nourishment. Because if people spend time in the presence of Jesus and still leave hungry, something’s off. Pastor said it plain: “If they’re sent away hungry after being with me, they’ll faint.” In a place that can seem desolate and even in a place of abundance, we have someone to offer…JESUS. Something that we can’t forget-“Fainting is not the business of the believer.” That line hits because sometimes, Ife feels like it’s hitting from every side. But what if fainting isn’t supposed to be part of our story? What if it’s just a sign that we’ve been trying to live on empty? Pastor asked, “What are you hungry for?”and it wasn’t a surface question. Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” The question wasn’t just about craving blessings, platforms, or comfort it was about craving Him. He broke it down using the parable in Matthew 13 four types of soll and two kinds of seed. The problem isn’t the seed sometimes it’s the ground. Some of us have allowed weeds, distractions, habits, wrong influences, to choke out what God’s trying to grow. But Pastor reminded us that weeds can’t survive where there isn’t an active gardener. When the Gardener is present tending, pruning, and watering, growth is guaranteed. Then came the part that got real Pastor taked about what happens when we get hit by life. Some people step away. They “veg out.” Less time in prayer. Less time in the Word. They stop showing up. And that’s when, spiritually, we start drying up. An unclean spirit looks for rest and can only produce in dry places, cut off from the fountain. He said, “We’l find no rest where there’s no living water.” That line summed it all up. Life can drop you People can drop you. But Jesus the Living Water never does. There’s a place you can always come back to. Not to avoid Him, but to find Him. To rest. To be fed again. That’s the culture Pastor was taking about-not the culture of the captive but a better LAND, the culture of the free. Check out the full sermon here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8U4_s3QRd4
