Living Faith Christian Church Sermons

Though life sometimes deals us difficulty, we always have a choice. A choice to praise or complain, a choice to run to God or run from Him. King David knew the great love of God and chose to praise and run to Him.

How do we deal with difficult people in life? From David and his dealings with Saul, we can glean some important lessons to remember when facing folks that make life more challenging.

Do you ever feel like your life is one tough thing followed by another difficult thing? Where's the relief? When is it going to stop? David was well acquainted with season like this and his Psalms give us insight and direction to how we should respond.

One of the things that makes life with God good, is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God, even in trouble. Once we know the goodness of God, we realize what life is all about! David knew this good life and longed for others to taste and see that the LORD is good.

We often wear masks of smiles and good words to cover up what is really going on in our hearts and homes. Social media gives us the impression that everyone's life is neat and clean while we stare at the mess of our own lives in real time. Thankfully the Bible doesn't use a filter. Reading the Psalms along with the historical narrative of David's life we can see what he was feeling and thinking and learn to model his faith in our own lives.

Every moment, every day: God is enough! May we believe that God is with and for us and take action for Him in light of that truth. A great model for our relationship with God through the life of Gideon.

Paul lived a life of devotion to the mission of Christ because he was convinced that his God would never forsake him and that his Lord would always be with him.

Training and learning is important. Classes, books, and seminars are helpful - but a relationship with God is the most important thing in life. Through that relationship, we have all that we need to be what God says we can be!

Many Christians look at their emotions as bad things - we should never be sad or angry or lonely. However, God has given us our feelings and emotions as signals to a relationship with Him. Rather than ignoring, suppressing or surrendering to our emotions, may we begin to ask "why am I feeling this way" and allow our Father to speak to our hearts.

Work is such a big part of our lives.  The Scriptures have much to say on the subject of work. As Christians how and why we work is unique opportunity to be different and bring glory to God.
