Puritan Evangelical Church of America

The person who has an eye to bless the poor with his bounty is blessed by God. Have a Good Eye to Do Good to the Suffering. The song "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath is quoted in the end of the sermon and then played afterward.

Taking heed unto ourselves to not be engaging in idolatrous worship is all ultimately about identifying the true God as our God. Wear Christ's Name Well in How You Worship Him.

Good leadership that motivates God's people to build Christ's church will face evil opposition to discourage and stop it. When You Do Good You Will Face Evil.

A vital aspect of not giving into idolatrous worship is to watch over our own hearts and lives. Take Heed to Keep Thyself from Idols.

God provides for His people through their prayers, planning, and persons. Be Prepared for God to Provide.

God wants His people to understand the difference between worship service and ever day life. Have Discernment with What is and Isn't Worship.

After God's people guide their prayers from adoration into confession and thanksgiving, they are best prepared to lift up their supplications asking for Him to provide and prosper their calling—and they need to! Close Your Prayers with Supplication.

Avoiding idolatrous worship includes maintaining respect for the life of souls secured in Christ as represented in the blood of animals. Your Life is in Christ's Blood Alone.

After God's people continue from adoration in their prayers to personal and corporate confession, they should transition into a time of thanksgiving. Transition Your Prayers into Thanksgiving.

When God's people get rid of idolatrous worship and replace it with the place, time, and way God chooses, their pure fellowship with Him and one another produces joyful fellowship feasting. Reject Your Idols to Rejoice With God Together.

The way God's people should continue their prayers after opening with adoration is to confess their personal, family, church, and national sins. Continue Your Prayers with Confession.

God alone chooses the way in which His people are to worship Him. God Chose You to Worship Him How He Chooses.

The way God's people should open their prayers is to first acknowledging His awesome glory. Open Your Prayers with Praise.

The video audio set up was needing to be corrected so we did not get video for this sermon as usual. God forbids all forms of idol worship so it goes well for His people and their children in His land. Forsake All Lifeless Idols to Live Well.

The response of God's people to tragic news that requires a careful, concerted, reconstructing response is first to pray. Before Taking Action, Pause in Prayer.

God's call on His people is to walk with Him honorably; those and their families who do He will honor—and those who don't He will curse. Honor God and He Will Honor You.

God is to be blessed by His people because He is such a blessing of complete comfort to them. Be Comforted in Our Blessed God of All Comfort.

Through all trials, God is His people's continual hope. The LORD is Your Hope Continually.

God, who does mighty things of mercy for His people, should be eagerly sought ought for great merciful and gracious things of them by enlarging their prayers of supplication and praise. Ask Much of God and Receive Plenty More.

A lack of forgiving fellow Christians leads to fellowship with the Devil. When you don't forgive your fellow Christians, you fellowship with the Devil.
