May 12, 2014 - May 14, 2014 Psalm 90; Joshua 14:6-14 No series on godly priorities would be complete without addressing the issue of those who are growing older; “senior citizens,” as they are commonly called. All too frequently, however, this particular group is given the message: “You are finished…you really do not figure that highly in our future.” Although this is a familiar philosophy within the ranks of humanity, Scripture does not support this view, either in philosophy or practice. The man whose life we unveil today exemplifies God's desire for the aged. Strengthening Your Grip: Essentials in an Aimless World read more

Apr 8, 2014 - Apr 9, 2014 Matthew 7:24-29 Storms and life go together. There is no place on earth where any of us can be free—completely free—of tension or pressure, trouble or pain. Escaping such is only a dream…a fantasy. Our need, therefore, is not to think of ways to get away from the storms but to learn the secret of going through them. This brings us to the last words Jesus spoke in His immortal Sermon on the Mount. As He drew His remarks to a close, He used a vivid word picture of two houses, built on opposite foundations. From this familiar illustration, we can learn the secret of an unsinkable life. Simple Faith: The Sermon on the Mount--A Study of Matthew 5-7
