What God requires from us in worship is so good, fair and irreproachable that we have no basis for failing to comply.

It’s nice to be able to get encouragement from others, but sometimes your only option is to encourage yourself. Sermon Challenge: Have the courage to believe that God will show His love for you through your deliverance and safety.

The need for salvation is based not just on what we as individuals have done, but on who we as a species are.

God’s desire is to ensure that His people are continually blessed by establishing traditions which guarantee generational blessings.
