Watching Your Step
Series: Psalm 119
Everywhere we go we see signs, put up for our benefit. These signs guide us, help us to find what we’re looking for, and help to keep us out of trouble if we heed the message. The Bible provides many of these same benefits. God’s Word is given to us to guide us, to help us know where we are and where we are going, it provides direction, and it warns us about harmful things, that we might watch our step.
In this section of Psalm 119 our author affirms the goodness of God’s Word and prays for God’s help to live in obedience to God’s commands. First, he considers the benefits of God's Word. Secondly, he boldly prays for God's blessing. Finally, he expresses his burden for those who deny God.
God has blessed us with His Word that we might grow in Christian maturity & show compassion for the lost.
Psalm 119:129-136

- Apr 10, 2022Extravagant Love
Apr 10, 2022Extravagant LoveSeries: EasterThe Bible is full of verses in which God assures us that He loves us. He shows us His love by what He says, by what He has done, and by the time He offers to spend with us. What is our response? How do we love God in return? Do we tell Him? Do we do things to show Him? Do we make a priority out of spending time with Him?In Mark 14:3-9 we see one woman’s amazing expression of love toward Jesus. This extravagant love is met with two different reactions on the parts of those who witnessed it. First we see an antagonistic evaluation of love by those nearby. But, then we see Jesus accept and endorse this love.We should love our Lord without limits.Mark 14:3-9April 10, 2022 - Palm SundayTo watch the video of this message, click here.
