If you've ever gone to a meeting where there are lots of people, and most of them do not know each other's name, the organizers sometimes help with this problem by supplying name tags or badges for everyone to wear. Did you know that every Christian wears a badge? Of course, this is not something to pin on your clothes or hang around your neck. What is this badge? Well, that's what we are thinking about in today's message. Thank you for joining us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

There are 150 psalms in the Bible, and each one has its own special help for those who read. Today we begin at the beginning - - Psalm 1. No, we won't go through all 150 psalms in this message, but this first psalm has been called "a recipe for happiness." The psalm begins with the words, "Blessed is the man.." but the message from God in this psalm surely applies to women and children as well. Yes, God has a message for us all on this Father's Day,
2024.

If you've ever had the painful experience of being outdoors on a windy day and having a speck of dust blow into your eye, you know that this will occupy your undivided attention until it is removed. But what if it is more than just a small speck? Jesus talked about this one day, and what He had to say about it is recorded in Matthew's gospel, chapter 7. In verses 3-5 He reveals what some have called the humor of Jesus. Let's look into that together in these next few minutes. Thank you for joining us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Have you ever had the horrible experience of driving your car and hearing a thumping sound coming from somewhere underneath, only to learn later that your tires were out of balance? Yes, balance is very important in any areas of our lives. In the 10th chapter of Revelation, there is a verse which describes a special kind of balance which an angel had. The first two verses of that chapter are our Biblical text for today. Thank you for joining us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "having an Achilles heel?" The sermon this morning begins with this story from Greek mythology, and then we move quickly to the Bible to look at two men who had their own "Achilles heel." They are Samson and Simon Peter. Is there a lesson for us from these two men who failed so miserably in their lives? Well, stay with us for the next few minutes and let's find out. Thank you for joining us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Have you ever thought about the question: which of your five physical senses would you give up if you had to surrender one of them? Would it be your sense of taste, touch, smell, hearing, or seeing? Most of us would probably have trouble making that choice. The message today is about a man who was deprived of one of these senses, and what Jesus did for him. It is a story that has a deeper lesson for us than what appears on the surface. Thank you for joining us today from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.
