Reagan, David

<p>The sorrow of childbirth is often exceeded by the sorrows of seeing the needs of your child and toiling over their wellbeing. A mother’s lot is often defined by her tears.</p>

<p>An idol is a pagan god or any object of excessive devotion or admiration. Each person has idols of the heart that they must contend with.</p>

<p>This world needs the atonement of “a lamb”, but only “the lamb” can avail. Have you made the Lamb “your lamb”?</p>

<p>God’s will may be either absolute or conditional; this verse proves that we can disobey God’s desired will for ourselves.</p>

<p>Elijah received mighty answers to his bold prayers. The text before us provides insight into why these audacious prayers were answered by God. We would do well to learn from Elijah’s example.</p>

<p>It's the story of three of David's mighty men who break through the battle line of the Philistines in order to bring David a drink of water from the well at Bethlehem. Though David had longed for the water, he does not drink of it because of the danger the men exposed themselves to in order to give to him. So, he poured the water out to the Lord. What's the significance of this story? How can we apply it to our lives?</p>

<p>Jesus Christ is our living example for the godly life. We are to walk like Him. But we are also to allow Him to live in us and through us.</p>

<p>The covenant of Moab deals more with the heart and the motive of love. We will look at one of the major provisions of the covenant and apply it to our lives.</p>

<p>The Apostle Paul was shocked. He marveled that the Galatians had so quickly left the pure teachings of Christ and His gospel in order to follow another gospel. But this other gospel is still with us today. It always starts with the gospel of Christ. Then, it simply adds something, anything, to that gospel. Be sure that you have the pure gospel as your foundation for eternal life.</p>

<p>This is a sermon preached by Pastor Reagan dealing with the purchase of Christ's suffering, the perfecting of His suffering, and the purifying of His suffering.</p>
