    What happens when everyone does the wrong thing? We find that in this chapter - and how God gets His way despite our best efforts to mess up!

     | 17,166 views

    The Lesson to be learned here is that prayer which begins with sighing generally ends in singing. We need to pray with purpose. We need to spend each day in prayer to God.

    PRAYING WITH PURPOSE-- PSALMS 5:1-12 Introduction: Those who believe in and practice set forms of prayer can find no justification for such in the Book of Psalms. There is a complete disregard for mechanical praying throughout the book. When you have a burning concern, praying come from the ...read more

    The story of the Shepherds reminds us that to find the heart of Christmas we must look beneath the wrapping paper.

    The last few embers of the fire are dying out. The air hangs heavy with a silence broken only by the occasional bleat of a lamb. Huddled together for warmth, the shepherds are alone with their thoughts. Each one scanning the horizon. Looking. Perhaps casting a longing eye to the distant lights of ...read more
