Being Determined - exampled by Job & Paul

Determination to Live for God 00:02 Living for God is not optional; it requires determination and commitment. Believers should be examples of faith in speech, conduct, love, spirit, faith, and purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 - A Call to Be Examples 06:40 Paul urges believers to be examples in youthfulness, emphasizing purity, truthfulness, and kindness. Living a Godly life involves faithful attendance to reading, exhortation, and doctrine. Making Your Life Count for God11:35 Being a true example for God involves commitment to Bible study, prayer, worship, and standing for sound doctrine. Believers should strive to make their lives count for God by actively spreading the gospel. Daniel's Purpose in Babylon 18:07 Daniel purposed not to defile himself with the king's meat, setting an example of faith in a foreign land. His commitment to living for God brought favor and blessings, making him stand out among others. Living for God in a Foreign Land 21:47 Daniel's success in Babylon was a testimony of living for God despite cultural differences. Believers today are like pilgrims passing through a foreign land, called to be witnesses for God. Godly Love in Action26:49 Believers are instructed to demonstrate Godly love through deeds and truth, not just words. The sacrificial quality of unselfishness should be evident in every action, reflecting genuine faith.

If you and I are not resolved and determined to follow Christ each day, you won't. If you and I would be DEVOUT CHRISTIANS, we must follow Christ with "purpose of heart"! Acts 11:19-23, Psalm 119:15-16 Every one of us, children of God, should enter each day that God gives us holy intentions and purpose of heart to follow Christ! These were David's RESOLUTIONS as he took the throne of Israel…they should be our resolutions as children of our Reigning Lord and King.

in this sermon, we begin a series, Living Faithfully in Troubled Times. We look at the life of Daniel to see if we can find some encouragement to help us faithfully in troubled times.

A practical lesson about Asahel & Abner and Joab & Abner

Jesus used every moment wisely while on the earth. Do you use the present time wisely doing the Father's will.

How do we know that the books we have in Scripture are actually Scripture? Are there other writings that might potentially be considered Scripture? Why do we reject writings like the Apocrypha or the Book of Mormon as "non-canonical"? Here Pastor Jesse gives an overview of the concept of the canonicity of Scripture. He walks us through what "canon" really means, as well as how the canon of Scripture was determined, discovered, and closed. In this message, you'll grow in your understanding of canonicity - and be encouraged in your confidence in the Bible.

We find no let up in Paul giving reasons to praise God. After naming two causes, "chosen...predestined", he referred to God's adoption. Let it be understood, there are no natural children, all God's children are adopted. The Jews, Grecians and Romans had a process for adoption. This precious doctrine reinforces the definite nature of God's election.

The Savior: Rejected and Resurrected - Message 1 - The Savior Rejected - Acts 2:22-23. The Triumphal Entry - We celebrate it on Sunday as we gather for worship, but it actually happened on Monday. This was the very day that the Passover Lamb was chosen by Jewish families and brought into the house. Jesus entered Jerusalem and was proclaimed by the people to be their King. They cried out "Hosanna" which means "Save Now" and was a fulfillment of Psalm 118. A few days later that same week, on Friday, Jesus would be illegally tried, wrongly convicted, and executed by crucifixion on the hill called Golgotha. The Savior who had been sent to seek and save that which was lost would be rejected, just as the Scripture prophesied.

We need to do as Samuel did in 1 Samuel 12. Pray for those who simply won't listen, but don't give up.

In our study, Jesus demonstrates His perfect foreknowledge and presents His Predestined betrayal by one of the twelve and His Predestined crucifixion as being "determined". We discuss this and refute various false ideas the trouble many people. Also Reference: John 7:6, Matthew 24:25-37, 1 Timothy 3:16, Luke 17:1, Ephesians 2:11-13 https://bbfohio.com

CURRENT EVENTS UPDATE: Former Israel Ambassador to the UN, Danny Dannon, predicts a peace treaty between Saudi Arabia and Israel which is a major piece to the puzzle setting the stage for the Ezekiel 38 Gog Magog conflict which we believe will happen sometime before the arrival of Antichrist (either right before or after the Rapture). In our study, Jesus demonstrates His perfect foreknowledge and presents His Predestined betrayal by one of the twelve and His Predestined crucifixion as being "determined". We discuss this and refute various false ideas the trouble many people. Also Reference: John 7:6, Matthew 24:25-37, 1 Timothy 3:16, Luke 17:1, Ephesians 2:11-13 https://bbfohio.com

David may not have out and out lied to Achish about what he was doing but he certainly didn't tell him the whole truth. He left the man thinking he was a loyal subject bound and determined to exact his revenge on his fellow Israelites for all that Saul had done to him. While David was in fact still working on behalf of his people.

There must be no retreat to the mission lead by God. Let us push forward in faith.

Evidently the Hebrew scriptures and the Holy Spirit led the Wise Men (the Maji) to seek out the new born King of the Jews. They came from the East, not just to honor him but to worship him. Thus we see the first fruits of the great Gentile harvest to come. We, too, need to be as determined as the Wise Men were to worship Christ the King.

Daniel had made up his mind he was not going to be defiled with the Kings wine not eat the kings meat.

Biblical hope is a fruit, it is a fruit that comes when we live in truth and seek the truth of God with all the strength and passion that God gives us. But just as the world is filled with fruits that are good for us AND fruits that are very bad for us… so also are we are very capable of mistaking human wisdom, strength and passion for God's… and when this happens, the results are disastrous. We have been considering diligence, as a concept, as knowledge, as wisdom (which is knowledge applied) But there is a diligence that is false for its premise and its aim is false. This false diligence aims at producing false hopes, and where it succeeds, it destroys all who trust in its power.

We see David's commitment to following God no matter what.
