Giving Credit where Credit is Due This is the video version of "He Gives — as He Pleases" Blessings and good morning… today's message was shared on October 8, 2023, and we're so glad you joined us. We'll look in Daniel's message and see the God who graces, gives, glorifies, and tears down and takes away. The One we can entrust ourselves and all that we have into His care and cause. Also, let's pray for God's will to be done and for the leaders around the globe. We lift up holy hands to the Lord, with no animosity or anxiety — surrendered and submissive to His choices and cause. 1 Timothy 2 And these are a few truths to help you with those you do life with and those you encounter on the roads of life. So pray for Israel and for peace… that we can do our work peacefully, nonetheless, we have a word and work to fulfill during peaceful days and when times are unstable. It's important to note — that Israel is currently an enemy of the gospel. "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own [f]opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in… Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers…" Romans 11:25-29 They are and have been preserved by God for a future work within the purposes of God. The times and timetable of this work rest safely in the hands of God. Because of His eternal covenant, they are kept as a nation for a future wonder in the wisdom of God. He has and will preserve them as a people but has not protected them individually from danger, death, and destructio

He Gives — as He Pleases Audio version Blessings and good morning… today's message was shared on October 8, 2023, and we're so glad you joined us. We'll look in Daniel's message and see the God who graces, gives, glorifies, and tears down and takes away. The One we can entrust ourselves and all that we have into His care and cause. It's important to note — that Israel is currently an enemy of the gospel. They are and have been preserved by God for a future work within the purposes of God. The times and timetable of this work rest safely in the hands of God. Because of His eternal covenant, they are kept as a nation for a future wonder in the wisdom of God. He has and will preserve them as a people but has not protected them individually from danger, death, and destruction. God also has a plan for all people. A resurrection… some a resurrection to life and others a resurrection to a second death. And only those who overcome in Jesus will be able to kept from the second death. We're to pray for the peace of Jerusalem — and that applies to much more than peace with their enemies. Individually, as with all men without Christ, separated from God, their greatest enemy is God. Only Jesus propitiates His wrath and makes peace on behalf of God and man.

Acknowledge the Lord in all areas of your life, even in making your plans for the future.

Opening Remarks: It is a blockade, a barricade, an obstruction, an obstacle, a hurdle, a difficulty. This is what the children of Israel faced in Joshua 6. Heb. 11:30 - By Faith the walls of Jericho fell, after they had been encircled for 7 days. Historical background and setting. I. When in Life Things Seem Impossible - (Josh. 6:1-5) II. When God's Plans are Followed - (Josh. 6:6-21) III. Because God Loves People & Keeps His Promises - (Josh. 6:22-25) IV. Barriers are Permanently Removed When We Trust God - (Josh. 6:26) Closing Comments: What walls/barriers are in front of you? Are things in your life at a standstill?

Why must all self-made, self-sustained plans ultimately fail? Isaiah 17–18 looks forward to the first serial reading in morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these twenty-one verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that any plan made apart from dependence upon God and obedience to God will fail because the Lord will wait until the ripe time, then devastate man with but a word.

How do you plan for the future? What can we learn from a parable that has no good guys in it? This obscure parable holds the answers.

In order for you to experience greater victory in your Christian life, you need to learn to deny your flesh!

What's wrong with planning? James doesn't condemn making plans for the future, but he shows how we can sin in making plans for the future.

The Jews knew the Old Testament but they still wanted their Messiah to come as a conqueror. Jesus had other plans and they just couldn't see it.

In Prov 19:21 tells us that, despite our many plans, the Lord's will prevails. This is not difficult to understand when God overrules the evil plans of men, but what about those times when our plans seem to conform to God's will as clearly stated in Scripture? The Apostle Paul's life is a good example of God overruling his good plans because His plan was not just better, but best. We must be prepared to walk by faith and trust the Lord.
