Yesterday, we closed out our YET WILL I sermon series, and Pastor Domonique delivered a timely word that left us all reflecting on where we really stand in our relationship with Christ!
We can show up, serve, and say all the right things while neglecting the condition of our souls.
Just because you’re moving doesn’t mean you’re maintaining!
So, here’s the question: HAVE YOU DONE YOUR SOUL CHECK YET? 👀
What’s sustaining you? What’s heating up within you? What is pressure producing? What are you allowing in? And do your habits align with your desire to grow in Christ?
Don’t wait for a breakdown to realize you need maintenance!
📌 SAVE & SHARE this post as a reminder to get your Soul Check in before the week is out!
Are we STILL feasting on Sunday’s message?! Because Pastor Domonique brought a TIMELY WORD that continues to challenge us days later!
This clip is just a glimpse of the collective gasp that filled the room when this truth hit:
“God, check under the hood!”
Psalm 139:23–24 reminds us to invite God to search our hearts, examine our thoughts, and reveal anything within us that does not align with Him.
Because a real SOUL CHECK goes beyond what people can see. It requires allowing God access to the places we’ve learned to hide, overlook, or leave unexamined.
And THIS was the statement that challenged us:
“Discipleship is not about maintaining the appearance of Christ. It is about becoming like Christ.”
WHEW! That’ll preach all over again!
The question is no longer just, “How do I look to others?” but “What does God see when He searches me?”
Have you done your SOUL CHECK yet?
Save this reminder, share it with someone, and take a moment this week to pray: “Lord, search me!”
