    God goes before us so that we can overcome in situations that are impossible, however, what we think is success, may not be what God desires for our lives. What God desires most is a strong relationship above all else.

    Psalm 19 is a psalm of David. David’s prayer is a life-desire to please the Lord; specifically in this verse relating to words spoken and the inward thoughts and ponderings of the heart – desiring that they always be pleasing to the Lord, the One Who is ‘my strength and my redeemer.’

    May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. ~ Psalm 19:14 Psalm 19 is a psalm of David.

    THE DIFFERENCE CONVERSION SHOULD MAKE 2 CORINTHIANS 5:16-20 SO FROM NOW ON WE REGARD NO ONE FROM A WORLDLY POINT OF VIEW.

    Lest We Drift

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jan 5, 2002
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,754 views

    This is a warning, not from a God who wants to find fault, but from a God who has forgiven fault and desires to encourage and purify.

    “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was ...read more

    Recently, my wife and I moved into a new condo. But as I began work on our new home, I began to see a formula for pushing for purification in our own life.

    Purify Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil. The definition of purify: pur-i-fy: a : to clear from material ...read more

     | 3,044 views

    Paul in chapter 12 tells us that we must be role models saints for this world and not act worldly but instead act like living sacrifices to Jesus. This in turn will make us a hero in the eyes of Kingdom of God.

    Building The City Of God In The City Of Man Series

    Nehemiah is often used to encouarge congregations to build a building. What Nehemiah did was encourage the remnant to rebuild the people and the walls of the city.

    Intro: Nehemiah has always been used by pastors/teachers to encourage church congregations to build new facilities and buildings. I believe that a major portion of what is going on in Nehemiah is missed if we focus on building physically and miss out on building spiritually. Jesus said in ...read more

     | 1,825 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more
