    Pursuing Excellence

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 8,403 views

    Even a glimpse at the Life of Jesus Christ makes obvious the fact that God is a God of excellence. A life of excellence is what He has bought for us. What does that mean for us as Christ-followers today?

    “Pursuing Excellence” Mark 4:35-41 As we examine the life of Jesus as it is recorded for us in the four gospels, we get glimpses through windows, as it were.

He says, “A young mother wrote that her joy had turned to bitterness and grief when she delivered a daughter with spina bifida, a birth defect that ...read more

    based on 102 ratings
     | 8,925 views

    Faith is a choice we have to make, even when life disappoints us. We can choose faith, or discouragement. The choice of faith is what God is pleased with, and responds to.

    Life is not always easy. It’s not always fair, nor is it always kind. Life can take some twists and turns that we are simply not prepared for. And although we know that life can be cruel and disappointing, it seems that we are rarely ever prepared for things to go wrong. One of the facts of life ...read more
