Living by the River of Life - Season 4, Episode 133

In a culture that constantly pulls us toward compromise and spiritual dryness, how do we maintain vitality in our faith? Guest speaker Chuck Gourley uses Psalm 1 to reveal that the righteous person thrives by remaining planted near the source of living water—Jesus Christ—rather than by following the counsel of the ungodly, standing with sinners, or sitting with the scornful. Through the metaphor of a tree flourishing by a river, Chuck Gourley argues that spiritual fruit, endurance, and success flow naturally from consistent meditation on God's Word and daily communion with Him. He challenges listeners to examine their spiritual proximity to Christ and to recommit to a life of deliberate, day-and-night devotion to God's commands, trusting that He will produce lasting fruit in His season.
