    There is one idea that Jesus is teaching us here that is life changing for those who believe; here it is: You have an opportunity to live forever because of who Jesus is.

    There were five ways people related with Jesus during his three year ministry. The first group of folks ignored him. They didn't believe he was the Son of God.

    Jonah prayed wrong and selfishly because he did not understand the heart of God. Jesus set the example and taught His disciples how to pray. If we align our lives to God’s will and pray accordingly there will be great transformation in our lives and in that of those around us.

    As surely as the ordinances of sun, moon and stars remain, there will be a king to sit upon the throne of David. That king is Jesus.

    ALL NATIONS SHALL SERVE HIM. Psalm 72:1-7; Psalm 72:10-14. The name of Solomon is associated with Psalm 72, and it is quite possible that this sacred song was premiered on the occasion of his coronation.
