    This message looks at the Believer's walk as we navigate a world of sinful humanity. We suffer from sin and we perpetrate sin. How then shall we live? How can we have a pure heart or like David become a person after God's own heart?

    We are faced with choices everyday: what to prioritize in our schedule, how to spend our money, relate to people etc. We can choose each day to store up wisdom, to walk with integrity, walk on the path of righteousness, because the path and the direction you choose will determine your destination.
