    We have a Covenant today. That Covenant is through Jesus Christ. If we are a people that will apply His Word to our life, then we will perservere in the situations that arise against us. If we don’t apply what His Word says, then we will be in trouble.

    The Covenant Exodus 19:5-6 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.

    Message on the example of faith seen in Joshua at the battle of Jericho.

    There are times when what God tells us to do just doesn’t make sense. It has been this way ever since man first walked on the face of the earth.

    God is concerned with the condition of our heart. We are to seek purity of heart in two ways: (1) be right, and (2) be true. Our words and deeds must be in sync with our heart.

    Noticed Jesus did not say “Blessed are the pure…” which is correct too. • But He said, “Blessed are the pure IN HEART.” The emphasis is right. • Man concerns the outward – we want to look good, to make an impression. • We need to place more emphasis on what is unseen – the attitudes of our ...read more
