The Living God
Our God is not lifeless like an idol, but a living God. He is real, He hears us, and He responds with powerful deliverance when we claim His promises to us. We can see examples of this from God’s Word, and God will do no less for us today as we trust in Him.
How to stay young and useful all your life
The document discusses how to stay young and useful throughout one's life according to Psalm 92:12-15. It provides 10 essential attitudes one must keep in order to flourish like a palm tree and produce fruit even in old age: keep learning, loving, laughing, leaving the past behind, longing for the future, looking ahead, looking your best, laboring, leaning on the Lord, and listening to the Lord. Adopting these attitudes helps ensure one remains spiritually fruitful until the end of their days.
Drawing Near to God: How to Mature in the Lord
This is a short overview of how to grow mature in the Lord. It is a life-long process but we all can do it. God wants us to grow up to be like Jesus in words, thoughts, deeds and character. The rewards of spiritual maturity are great here on earth and probably greater in heaven!
The Two Types of Believing
Success and failure are both determined by what a person believes to receive. As we practice positive believing—believing the positive words of God’s Word—we will receive the positive results that God desires for each of us.
Financial Freedom: Based on Crown Ministries materials
In the Bible, Jesus had more to say about money than about heaven and hell. Nearly half of Jesus' parables are about possessions. There are over 23,250 scripture references.
Drawing Near to God: The Path to Spiritual Maturity
After we are born again as new babes in Jesus, we have to grow into spiritual maturity. The benefits are great! It's time to grow more to be ready for the darkening world we are living in.
Living with Thanksgiving
The document describes how the narrator became unhappy at their job when they discovered another coworker was earning a higher wage. An older coworker reminded them that they had agreed to their current wage and had a good job for a new high school graduate. The narrator realized nothing had really changed except their attitude, which had shifted from thankful to entitled. The document encourages maintaining an attitude of thankfulness for the daily benefits and blessings God provides.

Be Bold in Your Believing
The law of believing simply stated, is that what we believe for or expect, we receive. This law can be applied to any category of life, including our business endeavors. “…What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:24.
Judges 7a
God called Gideon to deliver Israel from the Midianites. Gideon's army was originally 32,000 men but God said this was too many so that Israel would not take credit for their victory. God reduced the army to 300 men by having them drink water in different ways. With just 300 men, God delivered the Midianites into Gideon's hand by his power alone. This story teaches the importance of acknowledging God for victories and blessings rather than taking credit ourselves.

Names of God part 6 (Yahweh Shalom)

When the Israelites cried out to God for help, he sent a prophet to remind them that he had delivered them from Egypt and the Amorites.

God Is Everywhere Present
God is everywhere present. He has ability of this scope and magnitude, yet the relationship He desires with us is a personal one of tender intimacy.

We can be confident and joyful knowing that our Father is always with us.
Growing Up with David part 6 (Worship Wars)
The document describes King David bringing the ark of God to Jerusalem and celebrating with great joy and worship.

David responded that he was worshipping before God who appointed him as ruler, and that he would be even more undignified and find honor in worshipping God with all his might. Michal remained childless for the rest of her life.
Why a Gideon ?

You Can Reflect God’s Personality
David was chosen by God to be king of Israel despite his flaws and sins. The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart" who would fully do God's will. This is puzzling since David was also a shepherd, songwriter, warrior, liar, murderer and adulterer. However, God seeing David as a man after his own heart shows that imperfect people, like all humans, can reflect God's personality if they pursue doing God's will.
Judges 7 14 the whole camp into his hands power point church sermon
Gideon and his small army of men were able to defeat the entire camp of the Midianites with God's help. When one of Gideon's men came upon a dreaming Midianite soldier, the Midianite revealed that he had dreamed that Gideon had been given victory over the whole Midianite army by God.
