You Won’t Use a Dirty Cup—So Why Would God Pour Into You?

Most of us wouldn’t drink from a dirty cup —
but we still expect God to pour fresh blessings into unclean vessels.
In this message, Eric challenges a hard truth:
freedom doesn’t remove contamination — instructions do.
God isn’t withholding His presence.
He’s protecting it.
This sermon unpacks why so many people feel free but still stuck,
how impatience, insecurity, overthinking, jealousy, and strife quietly contaminate our lives,
and why immediate obedience is often the reset we’re praying for.
If you’re asking:

“Why am I still stuck?”
“Why does it feel like God isn’t answering?”
“What am I missing in this season?”

This message is for you.
👉 This sermon continues a series on moving from another year to a new year by learning how to prepare for what God wants to pour.
