Week of 9/6/2026 - 9/12/2026
Here is this week's "Faith on Assignment" recap, where the Word is more than a message — it's a call to action.
A LIVING FAITH REFLECTION
SUNDAY
This past Sunday’s message, “The Lord Blocked It,” revealed that some of the greatest miracles in our lives are the ones we never saw.
We often praise God for the doors He opened, the prayers He answered, and the dangers He brought us through. But how often do we thank Him for what never happened?
The accident that never occurred.
The trap that never caught us.
The attack that never reached us.
The relationship He would not allow to continue.
The opportunity He refused to let us walk into.
The danger we never even knew was coming.
God has been protecting us in places we could see and in places we could not. His grace was covering us before we understood what He was doing, His mercy was preserving us when we were not always making the right decisions, and His hand was blocking what could have destroyed us.
Sometimes we thought we escaped it, but the Lord blocked it.
Sometimes we thought we avoided it, but the Lord blocked it.
Sometimes we were disappointed when a door closed, only to discover later that the Lord blocked it because He loved us.
We have a reason to praise God not only for what He allowed to happen, but also for what He refused to let happen.
When we look back over our lives, we may never know every danger He prevented, every trap He broke, or every attack He intercepted—but we can still say:
Lord, thank You for blocking it.
Thank You for stopping it.
Thank You for covering us.
Thank You for keeping us.
✅ Call to Action:
Take a moment today to think about the places God has brought you from and the doors He may have closed for your protection. Then give Him praise—not only for the miracles you saw, but also for the ones you never knew you needed.

WEDNESDAY LIVE
Last night’s Wednesday Live message, “A Past Due Worship and Praise Debt,” reminded us that we owe God continual worship and praise—not to pay for our salvation, because Jesus already paid that price in full, but as a grateful response to His mercy, protection, and faithfulness.
We often thank God for the blessings we can see, but what about the dangers we never knew were coming? What about the attacks He blocked, the traps He stopped, the losses He prevented, and the disasters that never reached us? Heaven has a record of mercies we may never fully know about.
The message also reminded us that worship comes before praise. Worship is the root; praise is the fruit. Worship honors God for who He is, and praise responds to what He has done. When our hearts truly recognize His goodness, gratitude should not have to be pulled out of us—it should flow naturally.
God daily loads us with benefits. He keeps us, protects us, sustains us, and gives us new mercies every day. Our salvation is paid in full, but our gratitude should be expressed continually.
✅ Call to Action:
Take a moment today and give God worship and praise for both the blessings you have seen and the things He blocked that you never knew about. Do not let your gratitude become past due. Honor Him now for His mercy, His protection, and His unfailing faithfulness.

UPCOMING CHRISTIAN DEVELOPMENT
THE FOLLY OF TRUSTING IN RICHES
FOCUS: Psalms 49:1-20
CLICK TO VIEW LESSON STUDY AID
Are you trusting what you have—or the God who alone can give lasting security?
This Sunday, join us for our upcoming Christian Development Bible Study lesson, “The Folly of Trusting in Riches.” Based on Psalm 49, this lesson confronts the danger of placing our confidence in money, possessions, status, and earthly success. It reminds us that wealth may provide temporary comfort, but it cannot redeem us from death, secure our eternal future, or replace our dependence on God.
We will look at the wisdom God gives to both the rich and the poor, the false hope of wealth, the temporary nature of worldly success, and the very different hope believers have in God. Psalm 49 teaches us not to fear or envy those who prosper apart from God, because riches cannot follow anyone beyond the grave. What money can never buy, God provides through His grace: redemption, eternal hope, and the promise of being with Him.
Come ready to examine where your security truly rests and to be reminded that trusting Jesus is not only wise—it is eternally significant.
