David's first desire is to be undefiled in the way by walking in the Law of God. At the end of Psalm 119, though in past time he has gone astray, he remains a servant God!

Introduction: 'Honor your father and mother...' -The Definition of the Word "Honor" Honoring One's Father & Mother is Not a Matter of Choice but a Commandment that Must be Obeyed Those Who Demonstrate Respect and Honor to Those in Positions of Authority Will be Rewarded

The mockery of Jesus was more than an outlet for Roman cruelty; it was an attempt to render him utterly despicable.

Honor and shame are important aspects to biblical culture, but the unbelieving Jews here choose to dishonor the Lord. What can we learn about honoring Him from this exchange?

Romans 12:14-16 Main Point: Genuinely love your enemies and your brothers and sisters in the midst of persecution.

The Gospel of the Kingdom - Message 104 - Binding with Heavy Burdens - Matt. 23:1-12. Israel's rejection of God's messengers through the ages has now reached the point of no return as they reject both the message and the Person of His Son. It is time for judgment to fall on this generation and Jesus begins by condemning the religious leaders as false teachers, ravenous wolves, and hypocrites. This is Jesus' last public sermon (23-24).

The faithful in Christ are privileged and blessed as they use their wealth to honor God.

Today we celebrate and honor our Grandparents and remember that our inheritance begins now. Not one of money or property, but the gift and example of love, joy, character, wisdom, humility, obedience, legacy, a good name, knowledge, temperance, patience and so many other qualities. Grandparents, are you giving your inheritance now to your children; children are you receiving the inheritance by example? Always remember the spiritual inheritance we have through Christ Jesus, our salvation.

The superiority of Christ in all things is the theme of the book of Hebrews. And as the writer has moved through this epistle, we have seen Christ revealed in many different aspects… in Hebrews 2:9 He is the object of faith, the vision that saves… In Hebrews 3:6 He is the Lord over all that belongs to the Father… we who are the spiritual house of God And in Hebrews 7:3 He is the son of God revealed in Melchizedek. Each of these revelations show a different face of the single truth which is being pressed, Jesus is superior to everything, and specifically to the Mosaic Law and ALL of its trappings and institutions.

Nine plagues have passed. But unlike the rest of the narrative, Exodus 11 doesn't move right into the tenth plague. Instead, it threatens the final plague and foretells the results. If God is so angry with Egypt, why would he bother give them any warning? Maybe more importantly - does God give warning to us today and, if he does, why does he do it? Perhaps God is warning you about something right now and you're currently facing the same choice as Pharaoh. What will you do? Will you desperately hold on to your sin and face the results? Or will you repent and throw yourself into the arms of a loving God who wants to offer you mercy and grace?

Working 9 To 5. Happy Labor Day Genesis 1:27-28; 2:8-9,15-17Work is a gift from God, not a curse.''The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it'' In Genesis 2, we read that God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Many people think that one of the perks of paradise was the absence of work. However, if you read Genesis 2 carefully, you'll discover that work was a part of God's original ''very good'' creation.The Grind of a 9-to-5 got you down?Tumble out of bed,And stumble to the kitchen,Pour myself a cup of ambition,And yawn and stretch and try to come to life.Jump in the shower,And the blood starts pumpin',Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin',For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.Many of us struggle with the difficulty or the dullness of our work. (I've had some jobs that I didn't enjoy.) Someone has said, ''I hate how Monday is so far away from Friday and Friday is so close to Monday.''Work was a part of God's original plan for humanity. Work brings personal fulfillment. Work became difficult after the Fall. After Adam sinned, God said to him, ''Cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. Work is not to be devalued by laziness or overvalued by workaholic. God's seven days of creation show us the importance of both work and rest. May we as Christ's followers see that we were created by God to work. And may we glorify God in our work.

A true heart for the Lord will accept whatever it receives from the hands of the Lord.

Romans 12:10 Main Point: Love genuinely by seeing the church as your family, and then outdoing one another in showing honor.
