In this world, there’s nowhere a man can go to learn what it truly means to be a man. You need to go to God’s Word. The Word of God tells us not just who God is but who we are as men and how we are to live. Through God’s Word, every generation of men can draw wisdom on how to live the life God has called us to live.

How many of us ask God for special treatment? When we hold on to assumptions on how God should be healing us we might be rejecting solutions because we don't like that it's not be the easy way to do something. If we're obedient to God, and begin to humble ourselves, and listen to the Holy Spirit, we open the door to the miraculous work of God. Lean in to whatever God is telling you to do and watch how He works throughout your life.

Many people think of Psalm 23 as a passage to read at a funeral or in hardship. But it’s not just a psalm of comfort in times of despair; it’s a word of encouragement for all of life. In this sermon, we’ll dive deep, verse by verse, into the meaning of this Psalm and how it applies to our lives today.

When you have an anointing from God, there will be side effects. It may not be what you expect, but the anointing will enable and empower you to do things that would not be possible without God’s help or strength. We see this when David was anointed as the future King of Israel. When David was first anointed, he didn’t immediately become King. Still, the anointing empowered him to do things that would prepare him for his future role as King. And the same applies to us today. God’s anointing will empower us to do things for His glory.

The longer you are a Christian, the more you think you have doctrine all figured out. You might even get to the point where you are having advanced theological debates. But when it comes to gray issues or disputable matters, you may not know as much as you think you do. In those cases, you should pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. It would also help if you got counsel from wise people, your husband or wife, or your pastor. And if you still don’t have a clear answer, you should let your conscience be your guide.

Marriage is a sacrificial and mutually beneficial commitment between one man and one woman for one lifetime. That is how God intended it. But for many, when marriage isn’t what it’s supposed to be, they are quick to quit and stop doing what they promised to do. This is not what God intended for marriage. Although there can be possible justifications for divorce due to the “hardness of heart” (such as sexual immorality, abandonment, or real abuse), the best solution to marriage problems should be reconciliation.
