Unlocking Abundance: How Surrendering Can Multiply Your Blessings | Pastor Steve Roberts | The Daily Ascend

 By Steven Roberts

In this message, based on 2 Kings 4:1–7, we examine the significant narrative of the widow and her jar of oil. This story provides insights into themes of faith, obedience, and the importance of creating space for divine intervention. It highlights the principle that God can multiply what we offer to Him; He fills what we make room for in our lives. Importantly, God's provision is limitless, while our capacity to receive can often feel constrained. For those who feel emptied, overwhelmed, or are seeking a breakthrough, this message serves as encouragement to present your “empty jar” to God and have faith in His ability to fill it.

The most profound blessing we can experience is to dwell in the power and presence of God. It is a true privilege to witness the transformative power of Christ in our lives. When His presence is felt, remarkable things unfold. Jesus came into this world to guide us from the shadows of darkness into the brilliance of His light. His presence is truly the greatest gift we could ever receive.

In today's world, it often seems like our culture is drifting away from the principles of God. Yet, there's a profound hope we find in Christ, who invites us to engage with the world around us without becoming ensnared by it. In a powerful message, Ps. Leanne explores the transformative journey of shedding our old sinful ways and embodying the likeness of Christ.

Embracing a life of generosity invites us to recognize that our time, talents, and resources are not solely for our own enrichment, but rather, they hold transformative potential for the lives of others. This heartfelt principle is beautifully captured in the profound words of Winston S. Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Generosity extends far beyond the confines of monetary donations; it embodies a holistic approach to giving that includes our time, attention, and compassion. It encourages us to nurture a mindset of abundance rather than one of scarcity, viewing each day as a precious opportunity to enhance the lives around us.

They’ll Remember This: The Truth About Parenting That No One Tells You | Pastor Steve Roberts | The Daily Ascend

 From The Daily Ascend

As parents, we put so much pressure on ourselves to get it all right. But God isn’t asking you to be flawless. He’s calling you to be faithful — to show up, to love deeply, and to lead your children in grace and truth.

This quote from Pastor Steve hit home: "Kids don't need a flawless parent. They need a faithful one."

It’s not about being everything. It’s about being there — with God at the center.
