We’ll see today how the Lord leads his children, just like a shepherd leads his sheep.  And if the Lord truly is our shepherd, and we have committed to follow Him, then we can be confident that He will give us everything that we need.

As we continue to work our way through the beginning of Psalm 23 with Pastor Ford, he will explain the significance of the names that the Psalm’s author, King David, used to refer to God and what that significance means for us, even today.

As we begin to take a fresh look at Psalm 23, Pastor Ford will explain how that despite the fact that it may be the most well-known Psalm from the Bible, it may also be the least understood.  We’ll begin to explore the metaphors and the word pictures in this beloved passage of scripture and learn more about the Lord, Who is Our Shepherd.

When a man says, “I love you in spite of who you are,” then no requirements have to be met, no rewards have to be earned, and no resources have to be given.  And according to Pastor Ford, that’s a man who understands commitment and who’s worth having!

As we continue to look at Othniel in the book of Judges, we’ll see that a man worth having has capacity to grow.  So, Pastor Ford will explain that means the man doesn’t pretend to know everything.  And, he has a teachable spirit. Learn more about how to determine if a man is worth having on today’s Treasured Truth.

We’ll see today how the Christian life from start to finish is lived by grace.  Grace converts us and tranforms us and that’s just a few of the reasons why it’s so amazing!

As we begin to learn about what a man worth having looks like, we’ll see how the Biblical character Othniel in Judges 1 exhibited several characteristics which that kind of man should possess.

A woman worth having knows her value.  Many women do not understand that they are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Today, Pastor Ford will encourage women to quit letting other people make them into the equivalent of bargain basement deals, when in reality, they are actually top shelf treasures—extremely valuable and worth having.

As we begin a study in Proverbs 31, Pastor Ford will clarify the meaning of the word “virtue” in this passage.  He has disocovered that it’s not focusing on purity.  But instead, it’s focusing on power—the power of a woman.  He’ll explain that a woman worth having is able and she’s powerful in her activities and her actions, just like the woman described in this proverb.

If we’ve been untruthful, and we’ve told someone a lie, then we need to be forgiven of the lie so effective communication can be restored.  As long as the lie is between us and the person we are trying to communicate with, we can go back and forth with them all we want to, but we still have to deal with the lie.  Once it’s dealt with, then we can begin to achieve effective communication again with that person.
