Strong and Steady, Pt. 1 | January 4, 2026Pastor Wes Morris Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV) Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.√  GROWTH HAPPENS BEFORE YOU CAN SEE IT.Matthew 6:6 (NIV) When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.Matthew 6:6-13 (MSG) Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need.√  DEPTH DETERMINES STABILITY.Matthew 7:24-25 (NIV) Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.√  WHAT YOU’RE ROOTED IN DETERMINES WHAT YOU PRODUCE.Psalm 1:3 (ESV) He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.I Corinthians 15:58 (NIRV) My dear brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Don’t let anything move you.
