Psalm 119:33 - What is your Goal?

July 15, 2026

What is your goal? #

Psalm 119

Introduction

This is a great section. Last week the psalmist recognized his own weakness, and really explained the struggles he had. This week, we see his heart desire. It is a genuinely what the psalmist wants in his life. Usually when someone tells you they don’t have time for something, or don’t have money for something, they haven’t prioritized it enough in their life to allocate the time, energy, or money for it. We are genuinely a blessed people. We have so much, and if we truly want something, we will make it happen that we get it.

An Impressive Gift #

Mark 12:41-44

Introduction

We have a few verses here, but there is quite a bit we can learn from them.

I. The Widow (Mark 12:41-42) #

  • The main character of this passage is the widow. That is the focal point that Jesus brings out.

A. Her Problem (widowed) #

i. “widow” #

  • In Bible times there was not Social Security… the help for a widow was very meager.

Psalm 119:41 - Committed to God

Committed to God #

Psalm 119:41-48

Introduction

This portion is cleanly divided into two different ideas. As a result I only have two points. However, you can think of them as two messages, as each one could very well be separate messages. I will give them both to you, but in an effort to better help us, we are going to focus on the second portion. The first portion is verses 41-43, and the second point comes from verses 44-48.

Psalm 119:49 - Hope and Comfort

Hope and Comfort #

Psalm 119:49

Introduction

The Psalmist recounts the blessings of God’s word in his life. While this is a continual theme throughout the Psalm 119, it cannot be emphasized enough. The Bible should be our supreme, ultimate authority in our life.

There are three times the idea of remembering is brought up in this Psalm. Clearly, we need reminders in our life. Paul reminded Timothy

Mark 13:1 - Olivet Discourse

May 3, 2026

Olivet Discourse #

Mark 13:1-6

Introduction

As Jesus is coming out of the temple, one of the disciples comments on the beautiful building that the temple is. Jesus then prophetically told them of the overthrow of the temple. Once they arrived on the Mount of Olives. The questions came, “When shall these things be?” “What shall be the signs when all these things shall be fulfilled?” The Olivet Discourse is recorded with more detail in Matthew 24-25. It also appears in Luke 21:5-36.

Revelation 13

Rising Beasts #

Revelation 13:1-

Introduction

There is a lot of information in this chapter, which again, helps us understand the context of the book of Revelation. There is a lot of description given here. This chapter also goes along with Daniel chapter 7. It is well worth noting cross referencing the verses there with this chapter.

I. First Beast (1-10) #

Proverbs 13:1

October 30, 2019

Importance of Words #

Proverbs 13

Intro.

Words have a profound effect on people, and lives. Words are used to express an opinion, or idea that one may have. The Bible gives ample warning about the use of our tongue, mouth, and lips in the form of words. Words have been known to start a war, take the very life from people. Words have also been used to build some very successful people in the world. Words were used to frame our very Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Words can be used to accurately record history, or misconstrue historical facts. Words are important!

Psalm 119:57 - Personal Consideration

August 5, 2026

Personal Consideration #

Psalm 119:57-64

Introduction

The Psalmist in this portion gives us a view into some personal introspection of his own life. Some internal thoughts, of where he is at.

I. David’s Allotment (57-58) #

  • “Thou art my portion”
  • Portion – A part assigned; an allotment, or dividend.

A. Godly portion #

  • Portion is often portrayed in the idea of food. The portion you are served.
  • The Psalmist recognizes God as his portion, what he receives in life.

i. Many desire earthly things #

  • We live in the world, we are flesh and blood.
  • We see and we desire, all of marketing is built off the desire of man to have things.
  • The Psalmist is content with God as his portion!

1 Timothy 6:6–7 —6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Mark 14:1 - Defining Actions

May 17, 2026

Defining Actions #

Mark 14:1-9

Introduction

Last week we looked at the Olivet Discourse. Jesus had just gone through the end times with the disciples on the mount of Olives. We literally could spend weeks on that chapter, but let’s move on through the Gospel of Mark as we continue. We are drawing to the close of the Gospel of Mark. Mark 14 is the longest chapter, and is the beginning of the end, Jesus death, burial and resurrection.

Revelation 14

May 28, 2023

Glimpse of Light #

Revelation 14:1-5

Introduction

We continue in the parenthetical chapters which are shedding light on the overall picture of things, and are not part of the timeline. They do help us understand the timeline of events, but are not considered the next step in the timeline. You will remember, we left off on the 2^nd^ woe, the Sixth Trumpet in Rev 9:13, then of course the introduction is made in Rev 11:14-15 that the 3^rd^ woe, or the 7^th^ Trumpet cometh quickly, but that doesn’t fully get explained until Chapter 17… and seven vials are contained in that 7^th^ Trumpet.
