    This New Year's message teaches the importance of a God-given vision. When our hearts are filled with divine purpose, we are strengthened to resist temptation and live meaningful, productive lives.

    Intro Our primary text is Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction (NIV)”i The KJV says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Both versions are instructive.

    what made David who he was, was not developed in the fanfare of the palace, but in the isolation of a pasture... long before he played for Saul, he played for God. Before defeating the giant, he practiced on trees, targets, bears and lions.

    Palace or the Pasture 1 Samuel 16:11 KJV [11] And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep.
