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?

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

THIS morning what I want to do or at least attempt to do – as we take a look at Luke chapter 15 is to reveal the heart of the Father in regards to lost people; How does God feel about the lost – what is his desire for them (Luke 15 contains the parable of the lost; sheep, coin & son).

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost What Jesus Came To Do – part one In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God.

Elisha Seeks The Blessing

Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 10, 2007

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

The Rewards Of Seeking God

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2003

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
