The Lavishness of God
March 24, 2026
What do we value as Christians? How do our perspectives on our spiritual lives changed as we get older? It’s important to get back to the basics and know that God should be our primary value and that nothing comes close to the worthiness of our Heavenly Father. Enjoy!
Key Takeaways
- Psalm 23 reveals God as a generous Shepherd, not a minimal provider
The message emphasizes that God doesn’t just meet needs—He provides lavishly, showing abundance even in difficult circumstances. - A scarcity mindset limits generosity and distorts faith
When people believe there isn’t enough, they become guarded with time, money, and relationships, losing the ability to reflect Jesus. - Faith is tested in life’s valleys, not built in comfort
The “valley of the shadow of death” highlights that trusting God during hardship is where belief becomes real and transformative. - What you focus on shapes your perception of God’s provision
Focusing on fear and lack magnifies anxiety, while focusing on God’s goodness leads to peace, trust, and generosity. - God’s goodness and mercy are constant, even when unseen
The sermon stresses that God’s faithfulness is not conditional—His goodness is actively pursuing believers every day.
