Some highlights from David Totman’s Messages:
- Friday Night “Pursuing God”
- “The righteous pursue a relationship with God and enjoy its results.”
- “Can I describe my relationship with God as a ‘pursuit?'”
- “The wise person chooses to ‘plant’ themselves near God. The foolish person chooses the wisdom of the world and distances themselves far from God.”
- The tree in Psalm 1 was planted ‘intentionally’ by the streams of water. It was no accident.
- “Being blessed is a result of choosing the right path. There is a blessing that comes from choosing to place ourselves right next to God.”
- Sunday morning “The Power of Influence”
- “There is a lot of grey in our society today.”
- What are the major influences in my life? We must be discerning about our sources of influence.
- The righteous person avoids sinful influences.
- The righteous person desires God’s influence.
- “Is what is coming through your phone influencing you in a positive way?”
