      <description>&lt;h1 id=&#34;gods-purpose&#34;&gt;&#xA;  God&amp;rsquo;s Purpose&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#gods-purpose&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rom 8:29&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A lot of people, baptists and others have greatly confused the idea of&#xA;predestination. So I want us to take the time to go through these verses&#xA;and consider what the text is trying to teach us. Many people will take&#xA;their beliefs, go to the Bible to try to prove what they believe. Let&amp;rsquo;s&#xA;take a look at what the Bible teaches, and see for our self.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The problem comes, when you have acquired all you can get out of life, and are still left unfulfilled! When you have accumulated wealth, and you realize that doesn&amp;rsquo;t bring joy. When you finally have gotten that relationship you have sought after, and realize it isn&amp;rsquo;t fulfilling. When you get that popularity, but still have the empty feeling inside. When you have risen to the top of your company, or what ever it is you are trying to gain power in, and realize once you have arrived, it is not as satisfying as you thought it would be.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;January 8, 2020&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;gods-way-is-best&#34;&gt;&#xA;  God’s Way is Best&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#gods-way-is-best&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Proverbs 16:1-5&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Intro.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;LORD is used more times in this chapter of Proverbs than any other&#xA;chapter in the entire book of Proverbs. It is used 11 times. There is&#xA;probably something we should get from that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is. 55:6 ¶ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:&#xA;Is. 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.&#xA;Is. 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.&#xA;Is. 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;October 14, 2020&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1 id=&#34;what-god-wants&#34;&gt;&#xA;  What God Wants&#xA;  &lt;a class=&#34;anchor&#34; href=&#34;#what-god-wants&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Proverbs 22:17-21, 12&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Introduction&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can spend a lifetime studying the Word of God. There has never been&#xA;a book written like the Word of God. It is a timeless book, that speaks&#xA;to the heart of the listener like NO OTHER literary work on earth! That&#xA;is because it is a heavenly book, that originated in heaven, was given&#xA;on earth, preserved through the ages. You are holding it in your hands&#xA;today. Tonight, I want to give a very clear message recorded in the Word&#xA;of God on what God wants for each person! Nothing is worse, than not&#xA;knowing what is expected of you in a given situation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
