2017-07-23-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning, July 23rd, 2017 in the 8:30 AM service. Scripture: Luke 18:9-14; Colossians 1:19-20 Notes: - Why do we feel guilty when we are blessed? - We should rage with gratitude. - God does not bless us because we are good but because He is good. - How good do we have to be to feel worthy of a blessing? - Are we self-righteous? - Do we say we are not like other men? - We must pray to God to be merciful for we are sinners. - We struggle every day. - Rely on the grace of God. - We have failure after failure. - We keep doing the wrong thing; pressing the wrong button. - We must know that God will not depart from us. - It is all taken care of.
