Summary
The service celebrated the risen Christ and the truth that, like the apostle John who was dead yet alive, believers share in His resurrection. The first message warned the church against spiritual complacency. Using the picture of a wolf that keeps chasing prey even after it is full, the preacher contrasted a genuine desire for God with mere satisfaction - going through religious motions while the inner hunger quietly fades.
Drawing on David, who vowed to find no rest until he prepared a dwelling for the Lord (Psalm 132), and on the prodigal's older brother who lived in his father's abundance yet grew bitter and complacent, the message called for a fresh, burning hunger. The law demands, but grace supplies: through Christ's single sacrifice (Hebrews 10) we are counted righteous apart from our works, and Jesus promises that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled.
A second message turned to walking as children of light (Ephesians 5; John 8:12). The whole world lies in darkness, and truth is found in Jesus Christ alone; His word lights our path and calls us to repentance (Luke 13). The congregation was urged to seek God's light and truth, to refuse empty religion, and to keep praying - including continued prayer for Ukraine.
Key Points
- Beware the drift from desire for God into being merely satisfied with religious routine.
- The law demands what we cannot do; grace supplies it through Christ's once-for-all sacrifice.
- Like David, refuse to rest until you make room for God to dwell with you.
- The prodigal's older brother shows how we can live in the Father's abundance yet grow complacent and bitter.
- Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are the ones God promises to fill.
- To walk in the light is to live by God's word and let it expose what needs repentance.
- Truth is found in Jesus alone; apart from Him the whole world lies in darkness.
Devotional
Ask yourself honestly: am I still hungry for God, or have I simply grown comfortable doing the right things? Life with Christ is not a checklist to satisfy but a relationship to pursue with burning desire. Grace has already supplied everything the law demanded, so come not to earn but to abide. Let His word shine on the corners you would rather leave in shadow, and let what it reveals lead you to repentance. Today, make room in your heart for the One who is risen and alive.
The law demands, but grace supplies.
Don't settle for being satisfied when God is calling you to hunger.
Truth is not scattered across the world - it is found in Jesus alone.

life let your truth be spoken through my mouth today lord god by the word that is spoken um for the filling of his spirit you know and i i i feel that weakness but he is the holy and anointed one that sits on the throne he was the one that was sacrificed beaten and bruised for us and it is by his righteous blood today constantly tells me and rewards me that it is not possible but he tells me all things are possible the one who believes in him you know our life is of abundance and prosperity and everything is so free is so freely given to us it's so freely received before worldly things things that are heroes i don't know what it was but it's just this revelation that the church needs a new a fresh hunger because you know that's the standard [Music] hey man brothers and sisters me i'd like to share a little story and i don't know why it's this one that came to mind but it serves its purpose there were two men on a sled and they were you know sledding up up in the in the snow and then wolves just came uh they saw like about a dozen wolves that uh started to chase them now and so they understood that they were being they were under threat so you know one of them had a gun and they began to get rid of the wolves so that way they could get away and so you know they they killed one wolf and the other 11 ate that wolf and so it was again and again one by one and it came two to one and they're like and and they thought you know there's that's it they killed the second one he ate him he's not going to follow us they turn around and they why is he still chasing us you know and that that's the difference in this in this example between desire and its opposite which is satisfaction in other words the wolf by understanding after after being so filled it would have been normal for him to give up on the chase but but for some reason that hunger was not quenched and he continued to change do you ever come to church and you're just like oh you know the message wasn't really quite there today you know could it be that our hunger is just not quite as as as strong you know and because we're not because we're lacking desire we begin to satis be satisfied with things that do not bring fulfillment towards then we begin to do things or even follow principles or standards of christianity and satisfy ourselves with it assuming that we are at right standing with god you know just satisfied with the fact that we are doing the things that we you know should be doing gelanius and the desire to dwell in that and the hunger to to chase after that we realize and so we get it we get satisfied in in life and we switch to just you know following certain rules or just laws to kind of to uh prove you know david was a man after god's heart and it says that righteousness was imputed to him apart from his works it says in romans uh imputed on him foreign from his works uh it was given to him apart from his works like without having and so and so if we look at david's life what was his strong suit you read through his psalms god said he was a man after my own heart that we do not find anywhere in the bible and so apostle paul uses him as an example for us and says look it's not his works that gave him what he needed to it was his heart's burning affectionately desire for god is what established him through his faith into his salvation and and righteousness that is apart from him and so i will actually use an example from from his life in psalms 132 verses one through four it says and uh verses one through four or i'm sorry 132 132 in english and down to verse 5 says lord remember david and all his afflictions how he swore to the lord and vowed to the mighty one of jacob surely i will not go into the chamber of my house or go up into the comfort of my bed i will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids until i find a place for the lord a dwelling place for the mighty one of jacob you can go back to the first one so i can read and we see here david is talking about uh his his design desire to build a house for the lord tabernacle was outside and he lived in the comfort of his home it was it was uh you know it it kind of like made him feel unpl it was unpleasant to him to know that god is you know out there and he's just you know and and he decided he said no you know the lord must be in a home in in the temple you know in our lives you know do we do we evaluate ourselves and we always you know do we try to make our own you know satisfactions and chase our own comforts or do we think you know how how can we make our bodies a living sacrifice for the lord is lord i will make all the room that's needed for you before i seek and chase after my own country for him to abide in us [Music] and so we see that it's this david's you know desire to just do you know he says dwell in the house of the lord forever and in the new testament jesus christ and the apostles talk about dwelling in him and he and us and to lead into my next point we need to really accept or or you know like the song said to value what jesus did for us that's what's going to give us that burning desire that passion to chase uh when somebody was in trespass into sin they they must bring a a lamb that was without blemish without spot to the temple to the priest the priest would evaluate the the lamb and see and make sure appropriate for sacrifice it was the remission of sins meaning that it was temporal those tens would be temporarily removed until the next time they would have told me and so remission just to give an example uh when somebody is ill let's say with cancer and they go to the doctor you can actually look at your doctor the doctor tells them your cancer is in remission and so and so it's almost like it's it you know it's it's not there anymore but it has the potential to it was you know the law attempted to make a person blame us with blameless without blemish through the through the physical lamb was that yesterday but grace was what uh grace gives the lamb that that uh grace gives the lamb that is needed for atonement grace gives the lamb which is jesus christ that is given forth upon let me read from hebrews chapter 10 verses 8 and and lower i'll read to about 17 16 17. and so it says previously saying sacrifice of offering burnt offerings and offerings for sin you did not desire nor had pleasure in them which is which is according to the law then he said behold i have come to do your will oh god he takes away the first which is the law so he can establish the second which is the law of grace and then by that we will have been sanctified through the offering of the body of jesus christ once and for all and lord says and every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away sins but this man jesus christ after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down at the right hand of god from the time waiting till his enemies were made his footstool for by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified by the holy spirit and also the holy spirit also witnesses to us for after he had been had said before this is my cup this is the covenant that i will make with them and after those days says the lord i will put my laws into their hearts and in their minds and i will write them and then he adds their sins and their lawless deeds i will remember no more the law was given um in the old testament it does mention there that god had intended for the law to be written in our hearts he wanted it to come and flow out of a relationship through faith you know he wanted us to to um be his children he wanted us to have be in relationship with him to abide in him and he in us and that be the driving force of our desire and it is only and just like david this should lead us for the desire to dwell in the house of the lord and david not being in a new covenant it was a little different can experience this problem his power that he was victorious and it is only through that and i say again only through this because not because we did it but because he clothed us amen you know it also says jesus says in the beatitudes on the sermon on the mount mountain [Music] i believe it's matthew chapter 5 verse 4. yes no it's going to be five hold on let me pull it up because it's going to be six sorry jesus says jesus says blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled again blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled with be in a position that you are at extreme hunger and thirst for something and then what is his answer to that position he said blessed is the one who is in position of hunger and thirst in order for them and so this leads me to to to pointing this out the law demands requires but grace is supplies so when you hunger and thirst for jesus christ and and and to abide in him he supplies the grace that is needed for you to go through the trials and tribulations and even temptations in our lives you know and by no means you know the law is holy yes but what i'm saying is just because the law is foreign reason why why he was sent is because that requirement couldn't have been accomplished by us and that's why jesus was saying and so you know imagine imagine uh last week i was at my uh brother-in-law's nathan's birthday party los angeles and there was a conversation that kind of came up and uh the question that was asked was uh the prodigal son examples and so uh in that story a lot of times we like to you know focus on the son that you know ran away and that he you know uh [Music] and so and so the question that was asked was why is it how is it fair that the older son being in you know god's house but you know the other one he got to live up his life and the father so you know open arms and receiving him the way he is to be honest right in that moment i didn't really have the exact answer i used uh the vineyard example the master in the videos the one that the one sorry the one that when i hired the slaves the the workers and the you know the beginning of the day and at the end of the day for allah that that other son he was in the house of the lord he was in the father's house he had an abundance of whatever he needed [Music] really hard to deliver this this point what you're watching yesterday it's so you know deep to me the the older son was living in in the providence and prosperity and abundance of the fathers you know the gospel is called the good news it's not the bad news right it's the good news because we are able to dwell in the house of the lord we are able to become the resources of the kingdom are given to us and so it's really good news living in a world that we live in today and it was the same with the older son but for some reason he got upset that his brother returned and his father accepted him instead of being happy about the fact that he's dwelling in the house of the lord and rejoicing that not only he gets to enjoy the riches and glory of that of that of that house but now his brother that was long lost and returned also gets to they get to you know enjoy it together with and so what i realized here is the older brother was in a state of complacency what i mentioned before the difference between desire and status being satisfied in other words when i mentioned the point between desire and and the sun he came to a point where he was you know so he was in it for so long and so used to it that he just he he he didn't realize the benefit of it i guess you could say yes in other words he was he was where he needed to be had everything that he needed to have and he still was in a state of of bitterness and and when i started my message and i said that my heart was weighing heavy property you know and i believe that that's this is exactly it yes and and i believe a lot of us in the church we we find ourselves in this in this place you know maybe we started with desire for god really is and so my my desire for myself first and foremost is to reawaken that fire for god to really realize [Music] we are doing a disservice to ourselves it's a disservice to ourselves you know and so i don't i don't want to stand here and speak about these things and just you know continue on in our lives as if nothing ever happened you know i can't myself the brothers even others can't awaken that desire within us themselves we have to meet those ourselves position ourselves in i will not be satisfied until i experience the fullness i refuse are we not tired of just pointless religious efforts do we now agree that we need to see the fire of god in our country the stuff we read in the bible we need to see that in our church we need [Music] so that all of mankind would come to the knowledge of the truth that there is a god out there and that wants them to be saved my heart burns to walk in that fullness to bring that truth in love to have a passion in our hearts reunited [Music] manifesto in the church of god today not religion not religion it's the power and the power and spirit of god needs to be made manifest and it is our responsibility to carry that role let us stand to our feet foreign foreign [Music] father god we stand here before you lord jesus we magnify your holy name your glorious name jesus you are the worthy one you are the lamb that was slain for us jesus you are the lamb that sits on the throne lord god jesus you are the one that through humility through surrender you became that lamb that atonement for us that blood sacrifice that was beaten and bruised for our transgressions god we are not worthy we have trust we have been trespassed in our sin father god we are not worthy of your of your of your salvation we are not worthy of righteousness we are not worthy of holiness god all of those things belong to you jesus for we have fallen we are we have fallen short of the glory of god and we proclaim that we receive the truth of the gospel the gospel is the good news of salvation jesus we receive it today lord god nobody we need a fresh renewal a fresh fresh fulfillment of the truth lord renew our minds renew our hearts jesus bring forth this transformation lord god i pray oh jesus i pray that revival come to your church that renewal comes to your church jesus i pray that a fresh fire of your holy spirit touched the hearts of all people in your church or god that people would begin to live for you to hunger and thirst for your kingdom god for your righteousness jesus that we would take the truth that you have given us and that we would walk in its fullness god we pray that we just be transformed by your gospel your truth lord jesus that we would become effective in delivering your goodness your truth and the power of your kingdom first and foremost in our lives the lives of our families and then the lives of the people around us god let us not walk in this fake and and and just meaningless actions that we think are providing us with something god but let us walk in something that is real something that is true something that is genuine that is only given by your spirit that only comes by the truth of your gospel let it be made manifest in our church and through us through the world that is around us in jesus name i pray amen

song but because of him he made that doesn't matter what kind of words we might be going through what's might be going on around us i'm not the jersey focus we need to keep her focus that we are children his children we are cold and everything is working out for the good news the word of god is calling us to be faithful to be faithful until our death and then after that it's going to be much easier and after our death everything's going to be praise the lord may god bless each and every one of us the topic of my sermon for the before the end of a service i would like to share the word of god jesus because i could have a naturalist you know when i started to study this topic i revealed something that is very deep that's something i won't be able to cover due to time and fully but we will touch on certain things and we will uh think about it and this touched deeply [Music] it touched me personally and this topic also needs to touch each and every one of us let's open up the ears of our hearts to this word that we're going to be uh reading the first passage i'd like to read is going to be from ephesians chapter 5 verse 8 through 16 please follow the words on the screen but there are certain passages of the word of god that are instructing or telling us to do something and then usually those words they kind of like uh stress us out yet when i read this particular passage there is a lot of commencement instructions that need to take place seriousness very serious ones it says be as the the the sheep of light is spiritually new just with him do that we would be uh live in light and not walk in darkness and that's a commandment and now the assignment that is before me what it does the child of light needs to do what who is the child of darkness yesterday and i that really brings my attention and i'm being approached that very seriously because the word of god also says that uh the the actions without fruit are the the action of the darkness we're not talking about the regular light when the light is turned off it does not talk about this and it doesn't talk about this darkness when there is no actual light but i would like to invite you for us to think about it what are those the the actions of darkness they also are fruitless first john chapter one spieth and to walk in this light that means to act uh according to righteousness and act in righteousness that means to sanctify and bring all those things that are imperfect to the purpose of light is to reveal something anytime the light shines on something we see it yesterday this ukrainian word it says uh to reveal to get to know and that happens when the light shines on it and of cour and if you see something you're able to um evaluate according to your desires according to the standards and then you start the correction process immediately [Music] and we see that the blood of jesus christ washes away from what's not according to uh that is not right of god's word shows us the the things the the areas we should be working on the truth of god's word always shows us the need in in repentance is bringing our attentions to jesus christ and his blood that is washing us with the glasses do you agree with me amen i do not think that anyone here would uh would evaluate themselves as perfect people we are imperfect people mystery meme sex ever since our goal our focus is to become and with god's help we do everything possible to become more like christ this is why every step of our walk on earth we encounter where we need to fix things the truth of god's word is light honestly it is lighting up our life honestly it is lighting up our path in life there is the saying that he reveals or he uh lights up our path a lot of times we choose a path on our own we grab a flashlight and we wanna uh light it up so we can see where to walk but the word of god is not that way it gives us already the path that we should be following and going on it is not delight that we can just grab it when we need it those are the the the the light poles that show us where to go you know with the nation of israel when they believe in egypt we know that there was a a cloud in the day and a flyer [Music] it wasn't like a moses he had like a little program or gps and he would tell where this light needs to go to for the so they can see where to follow it [Music] it is god who was leading and shining his light and showing his people where to go and you know there was a time there was uh situations where they were complaining on moses and he says why did you bring us here but it was the path that god has placed you on by his will and that is his sovereign will and authority however he feels is right and needs to be done and he knows that's going to be best for us so turns out that to um to walk in light it is to live according to his [Music] [Music] the word of god gives us one and only example that we need to be following the word of god gives us this path that we need to be uh following christ is following his commandments it is the the path that is being lit up by christ it is the life and actions that he is requires of us also john says he talks a lot what it's like to walk in light it shows a lot what it's like to have fellowship with him it shows a lot and says what it's like to be the child of god and in conclusion of his letter that he wrote he says the whole world lays in sin only [Music] [Music] it's very important to point out he did not say that half of the world it remains in darkness there was a big percentage remains in darkness and there's still some light he says the entire world i believe this word of god but it says in this world there is one his name is jesus christ the son of god it is very important to point out that only in jesus christ only in the and then he says you know children uh stay away from the isles there is a temptation to think that maybe there is still something a tiny portion that is still good in this world the the logical conclusion as a result you maybe can find some maybe uh truth in that it is [Music] and there's no truth in it and simply put no truth in it i mean can we also say a man but the truth is in jesus christ amen only in jesus christ and you know people could attempt to look for truth in different sources if you comprehend this truth many questions will will uh become and we will start to understand [Music] and people might say isn't there any truth in this world yes what we have to divide those two things because many people they confuse them too isn't there any truth in this world yes but is it that the the the true the the truth or the truth of god let's distinguish the the difference between the two muslims because people who do not fully understand this they can uh be um they can mistake themselves you know there is this saying that everyone has its own truth but the the one and only uh it's hard to translate in english because they have a eastern and probably one word for both um everybody has their own uh understanding or their their understanding but there's only one truth that's right yes and you know what i start to think a little bit deeper when it comes to this and i realize it is true it is the fact is and we just read that the truth is in jesus christ and we all said amen to that everybody has its own understanding and we will uh go deeper into it a man became sick [Music] one could say you know the the sickness took away a person's life is it a correct statement [Music] and somebody say you know what the the issue here um that the truth is of this matter is that it's doctor's fault because they gave him red pills instead of blue pills or vice versa yes and the truth is the doctors maybe could have made additional efforts to save this person's life but he died because of the wrong medicine the truth it's it's a this understanding this truth has a place but the truth is that the the punishment for death is generous that the day of birth and the day of that is not under control of a person i would like to actually turn into the word of god that jesus himself something about this matter in luke chapter 13 verse through one through five you read the following presidential here's the situation there was there was people there and pilate he just destroyed those people he killed him there you go people might say you know what these people they wanted to have a freedom of religion and pilate he did not like that so he decided to kill them maybe they wanted to kind of you know point fingers at pilate and and say jesus see how unjust he is maybe others were coming and saying listen it's good that it may be killed maybe let's say 15 people so that way others don't have to die and i'm just thinking why did they come to jesus why did they start to complain about jesus christ and jesus he did not side with one's or the others he did not try to get to the bottom of the situation but here's what jesus says it's very serious jesus did not go into the details he did not try to take apart the situations and all the details in this story the way he approaches the situation with his truth yes people die but if they don't repent they have the same and as those people there in this story instead of getting to the bottom of this and trying to dig into those details you know he is directing everyone on the truth bringing everyone under the standard of god's law because he is light and he is bringing himself he's bringing him to repentance do you understand there is a different understanding and of seeing things and everybody had their own uh look at that and jesus does not simply participate in there on prostin he simply directs them into the truth of god's word it is extremely important to remain in god's light is to guide it to direct a life correction is to have a true understanding of things for you so because if we feed our understanding not on the truth of god we will make a tremendous mistake we will come up with our own and if we are maybe bold enough we will use this truth of our own and try to find others who understand differently you know this truth can be understood and it's not that easy just it's not that simple just to read it and and and and follow it you can start to understand but it's not that easy ivan the the the gospel of john says uh voicemail chapter 8 verse 12. yes i am the light of the world whoever follows me will never work in dark walk in darkness it is not that you can understand the truth simply by reading it and it says only the one who's going to follow me will not stop you becoming the child of light that you start to have the understanding in other passages he says the following words yes i am light came to this world stop with sake that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness and there is a condition that says everyone who believes in me will not remain this is why this world that is is is is conditioned in in darkness has no ability to understand god is but what this world did he twisted the truth and understanding of god they created an idol god loves everyone this is why even when they did not accept that jesus is the lord and that's why they crucified because they have no ability to understand the truth of god darkness would blind people yes the only god who's going to remove this blindness gives the person the ability to understand the truth and as the light has no uh nothing in common with darkness the children of light have no nothing in common with the with this world because the children of light they have truth revealed to them regardless the what the truth or understanding this world brings we are coming to a prayer number but i would like to read a few more passages from the word of god psalm 42 verse 3 through 5. he is [Music] you know as humans we do not have ability and it says here send your light and your truth and they will bring me vibility into your presence the person has no ability to come into the presence only if god will reveal and guide them only if the truth of god word would shine a light in their mind but from us all is required our responsibility is the desire and also calling upon him and god will uh will with faithful to respond he will open his truth in the in the face of jesus christ the son of god and with him together we will enter into his presence the most important thing is to turn away from darkness yes they have their their understanding of things how many of you saw some news this year i did everybody you think there is a truth there is maybe but is the truth of god is in there most likely not you know when i came to know christ i had this uh prophecy uh and it says you are in my light see light you know i'm a normal person i have a basic understanding what's wrong what is right i can discern what is good what is bad well i have no ability to understand what is truth what is not to do but i started to think about it and i understand and i understood that what i thought was light it was most likely darkness in the eyes of the lord because it is the light from this world that's what it is for them did i maybe have some understanding of some kind of truth but did i understood the truth of god no i did not apothem and then i turned to the word of god and i find in psalms 35 verse 6 is [Music] is the fountain because we will see god's light may god bless each and every one of you as i mentioned it's only a little brief summary but if we uh talk about the question of light sweat abortion the light of god atom it is a tremendous death uh depth in there and i would like for you to have this prayer to our lord yes say lord give me and reveal me your truth help me to work in your life not to seek someone's truth but also seek your truth in my and pray come to a conclusion we'll have our last prayer if you have any kind of needs requests you please share them with us we'll pray together praise god sister luda she has a praise report for her family members they just came from ukraine they happened to travel all the way to the front lines but they are home safely and glass god bless their trip i mean [Music]
