    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

When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people.
