"The Pursuit of God"
Pastor R.E. Talbot

Psalm 84:1-10
New King James Version

1 How lovely [b]is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of [c]Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with [d]pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
[e]Each one appears before God in Zion.

8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
9 O God, behold our shield,
And look upon the face of Your [f]anointed.

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather [g]be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

"The Power of Words: Wars are Won or Lost by Words"

Psalm 19:12-14

New King James Version

12 Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of [a]great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my [b]strength and my Redeemer.

Fifteen years ago, when Pastor Ron gave me the opportunity to begin streaming our services, I never imagined that a small church in Central Illinois would one day reach people in so many places.

I am not naïve enough to believe that every view represents a real person. Social media has its share of bots and empty numbers. Yet deep within me, I do not merely believe—I know—that God has used this platform to carry His Word into homes, cities, and nations we may never have reached otherwise.

I am humbled and thankful for the grace God has given us. As long as He allows me the opportunity to share His message—through a camera, a livestream, a post, or whatever means He places in my hands—I will continue to do so.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this ministry through the years. Your encouragement, patience, prayers, and faithfulness have meant more than you know. We are deeply grateful, and we continue to appreciate your prayers as we move forward.

After all, the mission has never changed: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” — Matthew 28:19

--Brother Matt
