  CENTRAL THOUGHT Remembering God’s wonders of old gives us fresh courage to face each new day. HYMN: O LORD, MY GOD, WHEN I IN AWESOME WONDER Text: Psalm 77:1-20, Exodus 14:22   Introduction: Remembering is to bring back to the mind through an act of memory, to become aware of or think again, to recall to the mind with effect or determination to retain in the mind: keep carefully in memory and to keep in mind as worthy of affection, reward or recognition. To remember therefore is to recall, recite or reproduce past experience. You therefore cannot remember what you have not known. It is what you have acquired through the senses that is seen, heard, felt, tasted and smelt that is memorable. Hence, we must have studied the word of God in some details to remember God’s wonders of old. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8). To have good success in this world full of evil, we must call to memory the great...

CENTRAL THOUGHT God is concerned about the needs of those who trust and obey him. TEXT: Luke 12:22-31, 8:14, 21:34-36, 1 Peter 5:6-7 INTRODUCTION: Our heavenly father has great care and concern for every aspect of our lives, and has promised to provide all of our needs if we will but trust and obey Him. Life in general is attended with many cares. It was the desire of our Savior to get it across to His disciples and to us that God knows, understands, and is concerned with the legitimate cares of this life. There are not only legitimate cases, but also overburdening cares that we can become so heavily laden with that which will choke out the place that the word of God should have in our hearts and lives. When Jesus said “take no thought for your life”, He meant we should not allow it to be a heavy burden or to be anxious about it. He said this because He could have us to know that the Heavenly Father, the One who created us and brought us into this life really is dutiful in His concern for us to supply every need that we have. This message is surely a needed message now. If we look...

CENTRAL THOUGHT When we commit our battles to the Lord, victory is guaranteed. HYMN: STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS! INTRODUCTION: Battle means fight or problems or threats or struggles or afflictions which everyone must contend with as long as there is breath in that individual. These battles can be physical, spiritual, financial, or otherwise and being a believer does not immune one from them. We suffer sickness, disease, emotional and physical pain, financial problems etc. The battle becomes more ferocious when orchestrated by the devil in his attempts to lure us away from serving the Almighty God. From our text, David was not a trained soldier so he could not use the armor of war that King Saul gave him. He depended wholly on God who delivered him from the lion and the bear to also deliver him from the uncircumcised Philistine. Thus, with five stones and a catapult, he overcame the giant who terrorized the army of Israel for forty days. It is sad to know that some Christians these days give up or quit in times of affliction instead of trusting God for divine intervention. The answer may delay but God will not deny us our blessings and victory. We must remind ourselves at this point...
