How to Stay Close to the Lord Part 2

April 27, 2020

Today we’ll again open our Bibles to the book of Psalms.  And in Psalm 86 we find an individual crying out for mercy.  That’s something we all need to do.  So let’s be encouraged to follow David’s lead here as we look at his prayer with pastor James Kaddis.

If you’re a Christian, I’m sure you have a desire to be close to the Lord.  But maybe you feel at times like He’s a mile away!  What is the best way to stay close to Him?  We’re about to find out on Light on the Hill through a study in Psalm 86.  Here we find a beautiful prayer of David.

Have you ever read a verse in the Bible and thought it was saying one thing, but then when you consider the context, you arrive at a totally different interpretation!  We’ll see a good number of people today arrive at a wrong conclusion after reading just one verse in Psalm 82!  And we’ll see just how dangerous it can be, when you take a word or phrase out of context, and run with it, not taking the time to uncover what the author was meaning to convey.

Today we’ll be paying a visit to Psalm 81.  The Word of God is truly special.  It can inspire and minister to us in so many ways.  An example of that is how it inspires us to worship and seek the Lord.  We see that in this Psalm.

If you’re one of those that loves to study history, you’ll no doubt agree with this statement:  The same mistakes are repeated over and over again!  The Lord knows we have this tendency.  Today on Light on the Hill we pay a visit to Psalm 78, which essentially is a review of Israel’s history.  This was given so the younger generation wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes of those who walked before them.  And encourages us to pass on the mighty works God has done, to the next generation.

Would this be described as a difficult time for you?  Maybe you’ve even been fighting and arguing with God about it? The Psalmist we’ll meet up with today on Light on the Hill was certainly overwhelmed, and at rock bottom in every way imaginable.  Often at those times, our focus is on ourselves and the circumstances surrounding us.  But pastor James Kaddis will show us the importance of lifting our eyes up to God.

Have you ever had someone question the goodness of God by saying something like, “If God is so good, why is the world so bad?  And why do the wicked prosper, and good people suffer?”  We'll talk about that, today on Light on the Hill. We’ll spend most of our time together in Psalm 73.

We continue through the Psalms with pastor James Kaddis today.  We left off in chapter 71.  David was no stranger to trouble and heartache in his life.  But he showed no signs of letting up in his trust and praise of the Lord.  Through the storm he depended on God to protect him.  Those are wonderful footsteps to follow in, as we too might be faced with similar situations.

I can’t possibly afford it!  Has that thought crossed your mind, as you’ve entertained the idea of adopting a child?  If so, please listen in to today’s Light on the Hill!  We'll be addressing that and other concerns people have.  We’ll be sharing an interview pastor James Kaddis had with Christian adoption attorney, Ted Youmans.  Whether you’re interested in adopting a child, or know someone that needs to make a plan to get a child into a loving, Christian home… you’re going to find this extremely helpful!

Today we’ll be doing something a little out of the norm, and that is presenting an interview pastor James Kaddis had not long ago, with Ted Youmans, an adoption attorney.  As we rejoin the conversation, they’re going to touch on some of the myths concerning adoption.

Maybe you’ve been thinking about adopting a child, or know of someone that is?  Or perhaps you’re pregnant right now, and contemplating whether you should have an abortion or place the child up for adoption?  We hope you can set aside the next ½ hour to join pastor James Kaddis as he sits down with Ted Youmans, an adoption attorney, who as you’ll hear really loves the Lord.
