PASTOR TODD’S WEEKLY WORD

Last Sunday at Southern Heights, we continued our ongoing IDOLS sermon series, talking about the dangers of living with a victim mindset.  In the midst of calling out some of those dangers, I confessed that I’m not so innocent in this area myself (haven’t been squeaky clean with anything we’ve covered in this series so far, to tell you the truth, but this one especially).

I closed last Sunday’s sermon with some advice about just staying humble and trying to keep our own difficulties in a proper perspective.  That IS what we all need to be doing to avoid getting stuck on this idol.  But I meant to give you a piece of tangible advice too – a strategy – and not just a reminder to “think different”.  So here it is…

When I feel “stuck” or catch myself feeling sorry for myself, I have found the repeating of these words to be most helpful:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way of everlasting life.”
-Psalm 139:23-24

If we invite God to search us, know us, and filter out all the stuff that needs filtering, we will not stay stuck!  Please use these words as a prayer yourself, and may they set you free and bless you as you do!

Don’t forget to bring your blessed self to 4141 East Hillandale at 10:30am this Sunday morning (just like every Sunday!) so you can worship the One Who set your free, alongside a whole family of others who have also been set free!  We’ll save you a seat!

Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University

We are once again pleased to announce that Southern Heights will be hosting Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University beginning  February 22, 2026 for nine straight Sundays from 6:00-8:00pm.

We have witnessed substantial changes in people’s financial success. The course is designed for all individuals, however if you are married, we strongly suggest that both husband and wife attend to receive the most out of this course.

“Financial Peace” is a nine week course which will help you get out of debt and set a path for financial freedom. You will learn how to take control of your money instead of letting your money control you. How great is that! And, it is Biblically based.

The course materials include:  the “Total Money Makeover” book, Financial Peace workbook, access to online resources, budget envelopes, and more. The cost for Southern Heights is $80 per household/couple/singles (regularly $99). Once you have gone through the course, you are a lifetime member and may attend future gatherings FREE!

There will be a teaching video by Dave Ramsey, and course discussion in groups each week. It’s fun and exciting to watch how much you can save and pay off debt at the same time. So, if you decide you want to become debt free, come join us.

Please contact Bob and Sue Visser 352-9559 of you would like to sign up.
(or call Deb Bos 271-7700 if financial assistance is needed)
