David, great goodness and great sins, yet always a man after God’s own heart

2023-04-30 by bible805

David, great goodness and great sins, always a man after God's own heartThe Bible calls David, a man “after God’s own heart.” This phrase is part of a sermon of Paul’s in Acts 13:22—where he is talking about the history of Israel, and Paul says, “After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’”

It’s a goal I think we’d like to describe all our lives and how to do that is what we will cover in this lesson.

The most encouraging characteristic about David’s life is that it wasn’t perfect—he sinned, sometimes in big ways that affected not only him but his family and nation. Yet, what made his life commendable to God was that when he sinned, he deeply repented, accepted God’s forgiveness, and moved forward in serving Him.

We can learn a lot from him as all our lives have ups and downs, times of sin and goodness as we progress to become all our Lord wants us to be—this lesson will help you in that.

Below is a downloadable PDF of the notes, then the Podcast, and Video of the lesson–PLEASE share with others who need encouragement from David’s life!

MICAH: How can we please God? and it’s not what people often think that matters

2022-07-09 by bible805

Micah, how can we please GodWhat does God want us to do, and how are we supposed to live in a way that is pleasing to Him? Is it for us to do big, extravagant actions to demonstrate our faith?

Or are small acts of devotion what God requires?

This week, we’ll look at what God says is the way of life that pleases Him in our lesson from the Prophet Micah.

I trust you’ll find the message encouraging as God’s demands are not difficult or unreasonable. He simply wants us to act as He does with His people, with justice, mercy, kindness, and humility. And yes, our God is humble and demonstrated that in the ultimate act of humility when Jesus, “who was in very nature God, humbled Himself, became human and died on the cross.”

MICAH: How can we please God?  The eternally important question

2019-08-04 by bible805

How can we please God? How can we know if we are doing enough in our Christian lives?
How to please God, a discussion of Micah 6:8Fortunately, God doesn’t play games with us and doesn’t leave us guessing as to what he wants us to do. We’ll talk about that today in our lesson.
We’ve been looking a lot at the history of what has happened to Israel and though that is important, what is even more important is how we apply the lessons we learn from history. The book of Micah gives us specific advice on how to do that. 
In particular, we’ll drill down deeply into understanding and applying Micah 6:8 a verse many are familiar with that tells us that God wants us to: “Live justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.”
