    Divine Strategy

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Aug 19, 2013
     | 12,886 views

    In order to be truly successful, you must not only know where you want to go, but how you want to get there. In other words, you must not only have a goal, but a plan to reach that goal. You might call that plan a strategy. Strategy comes before success, both in the dictionary and in life.

    Divine Strategy Mark 3:7-19 7 Jesus withdrew to the sea with His disciples; and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and also from Judea, 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He ...read more

    Make up your mind to stand firm on what is right and resist the pressures to be popular or to conform. Pray and draw strength from God to resist pressure to compromise God’s truth.

    (Taken some pointers from David Hoke’s sermon “Herod’s Folly”) We face pressures in life – different pressures, different degrees, at different stages of life. • From school projects, workload, meeting datelines, and others. • You faith in God – no matter how strong it is – will not take away the ...read more

    Christ is the author of peace between God and His people. There is occurring naturally in man hostility toward God which ranges between bad feeling and outright hate. Sin has separated friends and it separates men from God; . . . .

    When someone is saved, he or she will become "amazed" by how God is working. But when they get to a certain point in their journey, God might require the individual to take a step of faith, at which point he or she will become "afraid."

    This morning I wish to speak with you about a common pattern that occurs in many individual relationships with the Lord. The trend that happens over and over, and the one that we will see in our passage of Scripture, is this: An individual will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and grow ...read more

    Although Jesus had the power and the authority to heal people, the purpose of His ministry was not for healing only: "Let us got to the next towns, that I may preach also; for that is why I came out" (Mark 1:38 RSV).

    JESUS HAD COME TO HEAL AND TO PREACH Mark 1:29-39 "When Cabesa DeVaca wrote about his trip from Texas to the Pacific during 1530 to 1536, he described how the Indians insisted that he and his companion cure their sick.

    We need to stop and remind ourselves of who we are: Believers in Jesus who are serving him in a marathon, not a sprint, toward his kingdom. Therefore, let us never forget, or even minimize, who were are or what our “upward call” is.

    Paul the apostle must have been a sports fan. I say that because he uses a lot of terminology in the scriptures related to sports. He says – We don't wrestle with just flesh and blood. That's a wrestling illustration. He says – We fight the good fight. That's a boxing illustration. But ...read more
