    Seeking The Face Of God

    What does it mean to seek the face of God? Listen to King David in Psalm 27.

    David writes in Psalm 27:8 "Come," my heart says, "seek his face!" Your face, LORD, do I seek. We modern day folks find this to be strange I think at best. Seeking God's face? What does that mean, God is spirit, you can't see his face. Yet we read today in Matthew 4, that Jesus came and called His ...read more

    What Are You Seeking? Series

     | 3,760 views

    How do respond to a change in your environment? When Jesus comes on the scene he forces us to think in new ways. Learn how his early disciples dealt with the coming of a big change: the Messiah.

    How do you want people to think of you? I guess it depends on the situation-and your age. When I was younger I wanted to be cool, and I was so not. Today I could be thought of in many roles: husband, son, father, pastor, writer, or musician. When I’m with other pastors I could want to be thought of ...read more

    based on 30 ratings
     | 14,045 views

    Jesus tells us to strive to enter the narrow gate, while many will seek to enter when it is too late. The difference between seeking and striving for the kingdom of God.

    Please turn in your Bibles to Luke 13 and follow along as I read verses 22-24: “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for ...read more

    Seeking God begins with attitude, not activity. Seek Him with reckless abandon in all things.

    An ancient Chassidic parable tells the story of Yechiel, the young grandson of a Chassidic rabbi, who once played hide-and-seek with a friend. When it was his turn to hide, he found a great hiding place where he waited, somewhat impatiently, for his friend to find him. He waited and waited; it ...read more

    Elisha Seeks The Blessing

    based on 31 ratings
     | 13,004 views

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more

    Prayer Is Seeking Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Oct 3, 2011
     | 3,535 views

    We may say that we forgive, but when the next irritation arises we are quick to dredge up the past problems. We like to "bury the hatchet" with the handle sticking out. That way we can easily pick it up again and use it to our advantage.

    Matthew 6:12, 14-15 Purpose: To highlight the importance of forgiveness. Aim: I want the listener to value their forgiveness and practice it. INTRODUCTION: There is a lot of confusion about forgiveness. Here is an example. Old Joe was dying. For years he had been at odds with Bill, who used to be ...read more

     | 27,882 views

    God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

    Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more

    Do you have to use special words when you talk to your Dad, or wait for a special time, or wear special clothes. Hopefully not. It's the same with God. He wants us to open our hearts and talk to Him often.

    Luke 11:1-13 (v.9-10) Prayer - May the words of my mouth SERMON – Jesus wants us to ask, seek and knock A bible class teacher once asked his group this question: "When you are in trouble, what do you usually do?"

    We hide from God because of our sin. God seeks us because of his grace.

    GENESIS 3:8-15 DIVINE HIDE AND SEEK It is interesting to listen to people talk. You hear about people who eat at McDonald’s two or three times a day, and then blame McDonald’s for their physical problems. We all know who is to blame on that one.

    This sermon focuses on how we often get caught up in worrying about things in this world and how seeking God and his Kingdom will help a person see and experience God's abundant provision, and how it available to satisfy all our needs in this in this world and the world to come.

    If you want to follow along today, we are going to be looking at the gospel of Matthew, chapter 6 starting at verse 19 going down to verse 34.
