    • Delight: Learning To Trust God More

      Delight: Learning To Trust God More
      Feb 2 2026
      DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Sermon Summary: “Delight: Learning to Trust God More” Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. www.BryanHudson.com / www.NewCovenant.org This sermon introduces the spiritual theme of delight as both the 2026 vision emphasis and the foundation for a 21-day devotional journey through Psalm 37. Pastor Hudson teaches that delighting in the Lord is not passive emotion but an intentional, practiced orientation of life that results in deeper trust in God and fulfilled desires aligned with His will. Foundational Scriptures Psalm 37:3–5, Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. Psalm 90:12 – “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” These texts frame the message by connecting trust, delight, wisdom, and stewardship of life. Numbering Our Days: Wisdom Through Awareness Psalm 90:12 teaches that life has limits, and those limits are a gift. Recognizing limitation brings clarity and focus, helping believers invest energy in what truly matters. Key insights: Limitation is not negative: It helps eliminate distractions and refocus purpose.Time is a stewardship: Time is non-renewable; once spent, it cannot be reclaimed.Wisdom values quality over quantity: As maturity grows, the goal shifts from “trying everything” to living intentionally.Awareness matters: Living “awake” to God’s activity helps believers avoid taking people, opportunities, or blessings for granted. What Delight Really Means Delight is a simple word with profound spiritual significance. Delight reflects three things: Desire – what you wantDisposition – your attitude and emotional postureDirection – where your life is headed Biblically, delight means to bend, incline, or shape. What a person delights in is what they are ultimately bent toward. Over time, delight forms character, priorities, and spiritual posture. If someone dislikes what they see in their desires or direction, God’s grace allows for intentional change. The Power of Choice and Obedience God leads, but believers still choose. Personal power lies in decision-making aligned with God’s will. Psalm 37 outlines repeated actions: Trust (in the Lord), Do (good), Dwell (in the land), Feed (on His faithfulness), Delight (yourself in the Lord), Commit (Your way to the Lord), Trust (in Him) These are not one-time acts but repeated behaviors that train the heart.[WATCH VIDEO] Parable of Spiritual Formation: Learning Changes the Brain Using a scientific illustration of learning (neural pathways and muscle memory), Pastor Hudson explains that: Repetition creates pathways.Practice strengthens habits.What becomes “second nature” is the result of sustained discipline. Spiritually, obedience works the same way. Prayer, worship, generosity, faithfulness, and trust are learned behaviors that shape a believer’s inner life over time. Christian growth is not transactional (“pray once and move on”) but relational and transformational. Delight Can Shape Us for Good—or Harm Just as hearts can be shaped toward God, they can also be trained toward foolishness. Proverbs 1:22, “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.Culture often reinforces habits that produce spiritual immaturity. The key question becomes: “How am I bent?” What a person practices repeatedly eventually defines their nature. Do Not Glory in Gifts—Glory in Knowing God Jeremiah 9:23–24 warns against placing confidence in wisdom, strength, or wealth. Important truths: Blessings can become burdens if they replace trust in God.Success without spiritual grounding leads to misplaced confidence.True delight is found in understanding and knowing the Lord. Trusting God more requires trusting things less. God Delights in His People David’s testimony in 2 Samuel 22:19 shows that God delivered him because He delighted in him. Looking back over hardship reveals God’s faithful support and deliverance into “broad places” of freedom. This echoes the old gospel lyric: “I look back and wonder how I got over.” God brings His people through—not because of perfection, but because of faithful relationship. Seeking the Kingdom Is a Continual Practice Jesus taught that seeking the Kingdom is ongoing, not occasional. Delight requires consistent alignment, shaping believers so God can bless them without the blessing overwhelming them. Matthew 6:33, But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. God: Shapes before He gives, Trains before He entrusts, Aligns before He expands Blessings are meant to be enjoyed and shared, not idolized. God’s Pleasure Is to Give Luke 12:31, But seek [delight in] the kingdom of God, and...

      "Do You Need To Be Converted?" – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #206 for January 28, 2026
      Jan 28 2026

      Matthew 18:1, At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

      "Divine Calibration" – Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #205 for January 21, 2026
      Jan 21 2026

      God’s Word as the Calibration Standard Psalm 119:105, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Life must be aligned to God’s Word to avoid drift, error, or distortion.

      2 Corinthians 13:5, Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. We don't need to make assumptions or just operate on our feelings. The Bible gives us objective standards.

      Renewal of the Mind is like a Recalibration Romans 12:2, Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. The world introduces bias and noise; the mind must be recalibrated so perception and decision-making reflect God’s will.

      Correction and Course Adjustment Proverbs 3:5–6, Trust in the Lord with all your heart… He shall direct your paths.”

      Serving 1 John 3:16–18, Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
