Listen "Stretch And Reach"
Episode Synopsis
What if God is asking you to make room before you see any reason to? Today we open Isaiah 54 and hear a clear charge: enlarge the tent, stretch the curtains, do not spare, and drive the stakes deep. The message moves from the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 to a harvest that demands preparation, inviting us to act on God’s word before results show up.We unpack how faith prepares ahead of time—like setting extra places at the table because you trust the guests are coming. On the personal side, that looks like praying bold prayers, obeying when it’s costly, and trusting God to work in your heart, relationships, and calling. For ministry, it means planning for new people and new leaders, creating space where the lost are welcomed, the saved are formed, and the sent are equipped. We talk frankly about the danger of chasing growth without depth, and why roots must precede reach if we want fruit that lasts.Then we turn to the stakes that keep a life and a church from blowing over: Biblical preaching that feeds the soul, sound doctrine that holds when culture shifts, prayer that refuses autopilot, intentional discipleship, humble leadership, and honest righteousness. Our confidence is not in a strategy but in the gospel. Jesus was pierced so we could be planted, crushed so we could be commissioned, and raised so we could move in resurrection power. We’re launching new groups, multiplying leaders, expanding space, and laying out a three-and-a-half-year mission plan—not to look impressive, but to be faithful to what God is doing among us.If you’re ready to stretch by faith and strengthen your foundation, this conversation will give you language, courage, and next steps. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the message. Where is God asking you to make room today?
