He Leadeth Me in the Paths of Righteousness - part 1
In his book, Psalm 23: The Song of a Passionate Heart, David Roper writes… God knows our pace. He knows when grief, pain and loneliness overwhelm us. He knows when the full realization of our limitations come home to us. He knows when we’re shamed and broken and unable to go on. God does not drive His sheep. He gently leads them. On this Grace Notes program, Barbara Sandbek will describe how God leads us as we continue with our study of the 23rd Psalm.
He Restoreth My Soul
How many times have you quoted the phrase, ‘He restoreth my soul’, without really thinking about the words? What constitutes our soul? What does it mean to restore something? Why does our soul need restoring? Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek will answer these questions as she continues the study of the 23rd Psalm.
He Leadeth Me Beside the Still Water
In the 23rd Psalm, we’ve seen so far that if we let the Lord be our Shepherd, He MAKES us lie down in green pastures, and in today’s lesson, we’ll find that he leads us to a place where we can be quiet – by still waters. Let’s listen as Barbara Sandbek sings a song that sets the tone for the subject she’ll be covering.
He Maketh Me to Lie Down in Green Pastures
On our last program, Barbara Sandbek concluded with verse 1 of Psalm 23 which ends with…I shall not want. This means we will not be in need of anything that God won’t supply. And when we don’t get what we ask for, it’s probably because our wants don’t match up with our needs. Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek continues with the next verse which talks about one of our greatest needs – to rest in the Lord. So stop what you’re doing and listen up…
The Lord is My Shepherd
If you were to be likened to an animal, which one would suit you? How about a fierce lion, untamed by no one...or a fluffy, beautiful cat, with a mind of its own...or maybe your pet dog? They say most people look like their dogs, don't they? Well, God says he sees us as willful sheep, oblivious to danger, and in definite need of guidance. Today on Grace Notes, Barbara Sandbek will begin an excursion through the life of a sheep as reflected in the 23rd Psalm. I hear a bleating sound in the distance. Come join me...
How to Pray - the Attitude of Prayer
God has much to say about prayer. In fact, He commanded that we pray. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says that we are to pray continually, and Philippians 4:6 exhorts us to pray in every situation. On our last program, we learned that… We are to pray to our Father, God, in the Name of Jesus.. We are not to babble.. We are not to pray so others with be impressed.. We must pray with faith believing that God will answer.. We must pray with a clean heart so as not to hinder our communication... We should pray according to God’s will so that our prayers will be answered ‘yes’. In this program, Barbara Sandbek will explore the Scriptures for a further understanding of how to pray and what to pray for.
How to Pray - What to Pray about
Much has been written on the subject of prayer. Perhaps it’s because it seems somewhat mysterious. There’s no specific method and no guaranteed outcome. Why should we pray, then? Is it just to get what we want, or to change God’s mind about something? No…it is to fulfill one of mankind's’ greatest needs – to have fellowship with our Creator. On our program today, Barbara Sandbek, will explore the Scripture to see how we can pray more effectively.
How to Fear God Correctly
If we fear God the way we’re supposed to, we won’t be afraid of other things, because God’s perfect love casts out fear. Yes, as Believers, we don’t have to be afraid of God, but we must still respect and reverence Him. How do we rightly fear God? This is the subject matter of our program today. We’ll be covering a lot of Scripture, so grab your Bible and take notes as Barbara dives into God’s Word.
What to Do When We Fear
People have said their #1 fear is public speaking. Other fears include death - yours or a loved ones, danger, the environment, darkness, failure, the future or any unknown thing or event, your children’s well-being, war, sickness, change, loss, the IRS or police officers, doctors and the consequences of sin. So what do we do with this fear? Join our host, Barbara Sandbek, and explore the Scripture together as we seek to find the answer.
How to Handle Anger Correctly
Did you know that being angry is not a sin? In fact, God Almighty gets angry and He certainly does not sin. However, dealing with our anger improperly can result in sin. On this program, our host, Barbara Sandbek, will discuss when anger is justified and when it’s not, using an example from the life of a Biblical character. We’ll also cover ways to diffuse our anger so that we handle it correctly. This is so important to know because . . .
