Today's teaching is about looking better- not on the

outside, but on the inside.

God's people wanted to have a king, just like the other nations. There weren't satisfied having God as their ruler. Are we?

There's an old gospel song that says, "I don't believe You

brought me this far to leave me." It's still true today.

The Holy of Holies. One man. Once a year. Strick

guidelines that if not followed, could end in death.

Standing before God was serious then, and it's serious

now.

If the destination is getting closer to God, then today's teaching is just the roadmap you need.

The Ark of the Covenant represented the very presence of

God, and as such there were strict guidelines as to how

and where it could be handled. Today's teaching relates

those principles to the lives of every believer.

Wars… rumors of wars… rampant evil… Has God lost

control? Can we trust Him? No, He hasn't, and yes we can.

Why do the righteous suffer? Why do we as children of

God experience some of the same pains as those of

unbelievers? Today's message contains some hard truths.

Amidst the cacophony of voices in our world today, can

we really discern God's voice among them? Yes, we can.

How soon can we begin to awaken our children to

spiritual things, and train them to seek God's will for their

lives? Not soon enough.
