Midweek Teaching - Becoming Better
What does it look like to actually get better — not just wish for it, but pursue it with intention? In this message from Ebenezer Baptist Church's "Becoming Better" series, Pastor Bunting opens with refreshing transparency, sharing his own commitment to cutting back on fast food as a small but real step toward change. The point lands simply: if you don't make it better, this year won't look any different from the last. Better requires a decision, and that decision has to be personal.
Drawing from Psalm 31:14–15, the message centers on three movements that position us to experience the better God already has in store. The pastor is clear that none of it happens without God in the equation — and that God never fails, even when everyone and everything else might.
Key Points from the Message:
1. We become better by learning to trust God. Trusting God means choosing His word over the outside voices, the fear, and the impatience that creep in when it feels like He isn't moving fast enough. His timing is not ours, but His track record is proven.
2. We become better by acknowledging who God is. Acknowledging God means releasing the things — children, cars, houses, clothes — that quietly take His place. He is more than a "wake me up in the morning" God; He is the God who keeps, protects, sustains, and never turns on you.
3. We become better when we put our lives in the hands of God. Following David's words in verse 15 — "my life is in your hands" — the call is to surrender every part: feet, hands, eyes, ears, and mind. What God owns, He guides.
Becoming better is not about a resolution. It is about repositioning — trusting God more deeply, acknowledging Him more fully, and surrendering more completely. The better God has for you is already prepared. The question is whether you want it badly enough to let Him lead you there.
