Psalm 63:1

David wrote this psalm while in the wilderness. The wilderness was a barren, desolate place where he was deprived of the comforts of home and exposed to bad weather and hostile enemies.

These things were in and of themselves enough to make the wilderness a very troubling and trying experience. David found it to be even more so for another reason. While in the wilderness he was away from the sanctuary of the Lord.

The question is not whether we, as God’s people, will have to go through wilderness experiences, but rather how to face them. It is at this point that David’s psalm offers tremendous help.

Text: Hebrews 7:25

If a man’s faith will not get him to church, it is doubtful if it will get him to heaven.

It benefits the individual with spiritual stability and growth. It benefits objectively by its positive effect on others.

Does the church “today” in this post church era know that we are earthen vessels that are carrying with us the treasure of the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ?

2 Peter 2:16-21

The are other gifts that are very important to a Christians life and are defined biblically as to help the person walk through this life successfully!

Success is Gods plan for our lives! Not failure, frustration, fear but favor!

Text: Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; Acts 2:1-4

Celebrating Pentecost Sunday is always exciting to me, and it leads me to that place of wonder and amazement of what God can do! He, through His promise of the Holy Spirit, to come and empower his disciples, brought change that has resonated throughout history even up to the present.

Change is a word that brings excitement to some and great discomfort to others! The change means something is going to become different or adjusted in such a way that it will appear different.

Text: Philippians 4:11-13

Knowing and recognizing your place in the Kingdom of God gives you confidence.  

Along having confidence, courage is also a character that comes with embracing your place in the Kingdom.

Confidence and courage will bring results in what we all desire each day in our lives, and that is contentment.
