     | 34,034 views

    The psalmist uses the contrasting illustrations of a tree and chaff to share the Secret of True Happiness, telling us what it is, where it’s to be found and why we need it.

    THE SECRET OF TRUE HAPPINESS If the mythical man or woman in the street was asked what he or she longed for most, I expect the answer, in many cases, would be “happiness”. Jesus had something to say about this in His great Sermon on the Mount when He said: “happy”: "Blessed are ... the poor in ...read more

    We know we should pray. In fact, Jesus, in His Word even taught us "how" to pray. But what really happens "when" we pray? This is a faith builder and will encourage your desire to pray even more!

    based on 48 ratings
     | 12,808 views

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.
