In this message entitled "Empty Vessels," Pastor DJ Stinard emphasizes the importance of prioritizing our relationship with God over simply seeking things from Him. He draws parallels between experiencing true joy and having a deep relationship with God, using the biblical story of Elisha and the widow's oil to illustrate how God can work miraculously through those who come to Him as "empty vessels" - without their own agenda. Pastor DJ explains that when we focus on spending time with God and experiencing His joy, it not only transforms us but also overflows to impact those around us, much like how the widow's oil filled vessel after vessel until there were no more containers to fill.
