184. When You Covet (Hold Fast) May 30, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Moments of Worship, we confront the quiet but dangerous sin of coveting—the restless desire for what others have and the discontentment it breeds in our hearts. Whether it's wealth, relationships, status, or possessions, coveting draws our eyes away from God’s goodness and tempts us to believe that He is not enough.

But Hebrews 13:5 calls us back to truth:

“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”

This promise reminds us that true contentment isn’t found in gaining more, but in resting in the faithful presence of God. When we remember that He will never leave or forsake us, our cravings give way to gratitude, and our hearts return to worship. Christ is our treasure—and in Him, we truly lack nothing.

Hebrews 13:5

When fear grips your heart—whether it’s fear of the unknown, fear of loss, or fear of failure—God offers something far more powerful than reassurance: His presence. In this episode, we reflect on Isaiah 41:10, where the Lord says: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Fear may visit, but it doesn’t have to rule you. God does not promise the absence of trouble, but He promises the presence of strength, help, and comfort in the midst of it. Let this be your anchor: You are not alone. Trust the One who holds you fast and walks with you through every fear.

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” – Psalm 56:3

Let God's Word calm your spirit and renew your confidence today.

Isaiah 41:10

What do you do when God feels distant—when your prayers seem unanswered, your Bible reading feels dry, or your heart feels cold? In this episode of Moments of Worship, Pastor Keith gently reminds us that God hasn’t moved—we have. Yet the invitation still stands: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (James 4:8). We are called to draw near through humility, confession, and a renewed hunger for His presence.

Loneliness is a heavy burden—whether it's the ache of being misunderstood, the sting of loss, or simply feeling forgotten. But in our most isolated moments, God's Word speaks with unshakable comfort: “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:8). These words, given to Israel and echoed throughout Scripture, are a reminder that God’s presence is not conditional—it’s constant.

In this episode, we take refuge in the truth that we are never truly alone. God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Jesus Himself was forsaken on the cross so that we never have to be. So when the silence feels loud and the loneliness deep, remember: the Lord goes before you, walks beside you, and holds you fast. Take courage—He is with you.

180. When You’re Waiting on God’s Timing (Hold Fast) May 26, 2025

In this episode of Moments of Worship, we reflect on the challenge of waiting on God. Whether we’re praying for guidance, healing, or breakthrough, waiting can feel like silence. But Ecclesiastes 3:11 assures us that God makes everything beautiful—not randomly, but “in its time.” His delays are never wasted. They are purposeful pauses where He shapes our trust, strengthens our faith, and aligns our hearts with His.

As you wait, remember Isaiah 40:31: “They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.” Don’t give in to impatience or despair. Instead, lean into God’s promises. Take heart in Psalm 27:14—“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage.” The waiting may be long, but His timing is never wrong. Trust Him—your story is still being written, and His ending will be beautiful.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

179. When You’re Fighting Idolatry: 1 John 5:21 May 23, 2025

In this episode of Moments of Worship, we reflect on the quiet but powerful pull of idolatry in our lives. 1 John 5:21 offers a tender yet urgent warning: “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” Idols today may not look like carved statues, but they often take the form of good things that have taken God’s rightful place—success, comfort, control, approval, even ministry itself. When we begin to trust in or treasure these more than God, our worship shifts. This episode encourages us to examine our hearts and remember that idolatry isn’t just about what we bow to—it’s about what we rely on, prioritize, and pursue.

But God calls us to something better: the surpassing joy of knowing and worshiping Him alone. Scripture exhorts us to “put to death… covetousness, which is idolatry” (Colossians 3:5) and to fix our affections on Christ, who alone satisfies the soul. Psalm 73:25 reminds us of the cry of a heart fully devoted to God: “Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.” As we fight idolatry, let us return again and again to the beauty, glory, and sufficiency of Christ.

178. When You Struggle with Bitterness or Unforgiveness: Ephesians 4:31–32 May 22, 2025

In this episode of Moments of Worship, we explore how bitterness and unforgiveness quietly take root and distort our hearts, relationships, and even our worship. But God calls us to something better. Ephesians 4:31–32 exhorts us to put away bitterness and instead clothe ourselves with kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness—not because others always deserve it, but because Christ has forgiven us.

Forgiveness isn’t forgetting or minimizing the hurt. It’s trusting that Jesus already bore the weight of our sins and theirs. Through Him, we’re freed to release the need for revenge and walk in love.

God has no beginning or end. He always was, is and will be. This is hard for us to understand as we have finite minds and God is infinite. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. (Psalm 90:2)

Isaiah 40:28: “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.”

In this episode of Moments of Worship, Pastor Keith McMinn reflects on the quiet drift that can pull us away from corporate worship—whether from exhaustion, hurt, or habit. Sharing insights from a recent 9Marks Weekender with fellow pastors, he points us back to the irreplaceable role of the gathered church in the Christian life.

The Fighter Verse, Hebrews 10:24–25, urges us not to neglect meeting together, but to encourage one another—especially as the Day of Christ draws near. Pastor Keith highlights several “one another” commands from the New Testament that require our presence, such as loving, serving, and forgiving one another.

This episode is a call to resist isolation and reengage with the church—not out of guilt, but out of grace. God’s people need you, and you need them.

175. When You Feel Insecure or Insignificant: Psalm 139:13–14 May 16, 2025

In this episode of Moments of Worship, we confront feelings of insecurity and insignificance with the truth of Psalm 139:13–14. God’s Word reminds us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made—personally formed by the Creator of the universe. You are not overlooked, forgotten, or random. You are intentionally designed by God for His glory. Pastor Keith encourages us to silence the lies of comparison and inadequacy by remembering our worth in God’s eyes and responding in worship.
