Envision Today Is The Day You’ve Been Waiting For | Wk 2 | Pastor Tom Golden & Rikki Richardson

Today's sermon, led by Pastor Tom Golden and enriched by insights from Rikki Richardson's "Five Minutes of Fire," urges us to embrace the present moment with anticipation and faith in God's plan. The focal point of the message centers around Psalm 5:3, known as David's Morning Prayer, illustrating David's consistent habit of seeking God each morning, flaws and all.

Rikki Richardson passionately emphasizes the importance of daily communication with God, challenging listeners to establish a habit of morning prayer for 21 days. Drawing from David's example, she reassures us that God listens and responds to our prayers, urging us to wait expectantly for His divine intervention.

Pastor Tom Golden builds upon this foundation, reminding us that when they pray, God hears you. Despite the discomfort of waiting, he encourages us to wait expectantly for God's will to unfold in our lives, referencing various translations of Psalm 5:3 that highlight the act of waiting on God.

Contrary to a superficial desire for instant gratification, Pastor Golden emphasizes that envisioning the day you have been waiting for is about aligning with God's will rather than personal desires.

Pastor Tom Golden's sermon, supported by Rikki Richardson's fervent encouragement, calls us to embrace each day as an opportunity to commune with God, wait expectantly for His will to be revealed, and envision His transformative work in our lives. By doing so, we are empowered to live in alignment with God's purpose, trusting in His faithfulness and sovereignty.

Jesus Heals on the Day of Rest

10 Jesus was teaching in one of the Jewish places of worship on the Day of Rest. 11 A woman was there who had suffered for eighteen years because of a demon. She was not able to stand up straight. 12 Jesus saw her and said, “Woman, you are now free from your trouble!” 13 Then He put His hand on her. At once she stood up straight and gave thanks to God.
