Pastor Andrew Eldridge delivers a powerful, urgent sermon titled 'I Cling to You' from Psalm 63:8, challenging believers to reject the world's definition of 'clingy' and instead embrace a passionate, desperate pursuit of God. He argues that true spiritual strength, direction, and faith come not from self-effort but from daily, intentional clinging to God through His Word. Drawing from Scripture, he exposes the alarming reality that only one in three Christians read the Bible, despite claiming the name of Christ, and warns that church attendance alone is insufficient—spiritual nourishment requires daily engagement with Scripture. The sermon builds toward a climactic call: clinging to God is not passive, but a battle cry that leads to divine strength, unshakable faith, and the fulfillment of God’s promises. Eldridge closes with a bold declaration that God’s promises are not distant hopes but living, active truths waiting to be received by faith, and he urges believers to not only pursue God but also to give Him glory for every blessing, no matter how small.
Clinging to God is a daily, intentional act of faith, not passive or weak, but essential for spiritual strength and direction.
Only 1 in 3 Christians read the Bible, despite 62% of Americans claiming to be Christian—church attendance alone is not enough for spiritual nourishment.
Your weekly time in church is less than 2% of your week; you must actively engage Scripture daily to avoid spiritual malnutrition.
God’s strength is revealed in weakness—when you admit you have no strength on your own, His power is made perfect.
Faith grows through hearing the Word; without Scripture, your faith is vulnerable to doubt and deception.
