    His Love Endures Forever Series

    Psalm 118 is a powerful song of Praise. But behind this psalm of praise is a great deal of pain. What was the pain that led David to write this hymn to God, and what can we learn from David’s pain that make our song as powerful as his?

    (We opened by playing Chris Tomlin’s “Forever” song found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjrAeWCOg6Q&feature=fvwrel. Immediately after the song, I read Psalm 118 in its entirety, and prayed.) APPLY: The Psalm we’ve read today has inspired numerous hymns and contemporary songs. · One ...read more

    Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.

    This sermon needs a disclaimer and it doesn’t need to be one of those bits of legalese that we see in 6 point type in a print ad, appears briefly in barely legible type at the bottom of a television screen, or is read as rapidly as possible by a radio announcer: “Offer listed is manufacturer’s ...read more

    The Day the Lord has Made Psalm 118:1-29 Introduction We sing the chorus “This is the Day that the Lord has Made” often in our churches today as a call of worship. In it, we treat “this” as though it referred to today, that God has made this day as He makes every day special. I do not dissent to ...read more

    God doesn't want us living in the past nor in the future, rather God wants us to live in the present. Today is the only day we have for sure, so let's view it as a blessing from God and rejoice in it, living it to the full.

    Introduction: A. There was an article a few years ago in which a man gave his idea of a perfect world. He said: 1. “In a perfect world you would feel as good at 60 as you did at 17. And you would be as smart at 60 as you thought you were at 17." 2. “In a perfect world professional basketball ...read more

    Summary: Many people in life today, say that they believe in GOD, and that is a good thing, for how can we be blessed with so much, and not believe in GOD. The problem I have is that so many believe in GOD but so many more don’t believe GOD!!

    1. The CAUSE is UNBELIEF People just don’t believe GOD as the saints and ancestors of old, the average young person today doesn’t claim to believe in GOD, but a higher being.
