Are You Running on Empty?

Main message: The sermon teaches that God’s word, especially Psalm 19:7-10, can restore believers when life has “tipped them over” spiritually or relationally. It encourages regular self-examination and confession so the Lord can realign our love for God, others, and ourselves.

Key points:

• The “law of the Lord” restores like a shepherd righting a cast sheep.
• Scripture can be understood as the Ten Commandments, the Torah, the whole Bible, or the two great commandments.
• Being restored means checking whether we are loving God first.
• It also means loving neighbors well in our relationships and responsibilities.
• Rightly loving ourselves includes basic care like sleep, exercise, and healthy eating.
• Devotional time should include confession and inviting the Holy Spirit to reveal what to increase or decrease.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalm 19:7-10, Matthew 22:37-39
