What an amazing passage. Jesus uses the most unlikely of persons to teach us and His disciples true worship. Come and learn what worship is and that God is seeking those that will bow and serve.

6. The Worship Of A Worthy Walk
Contributed on Nov 15, 2015
Good works have a great misunderstanding across the various denominations of the church today. Paul prays that we will live a life worth of God and be fruitful in every good work. He challenges us to live differently than the world around us.
Intro: Today we honor our veterans. If we are to truly honor them then we will follow their example of sacrifice and service for the good of our nation. Psalm 33:12 “Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people he has chosen to be His own possession!” We will never be ...read more
