Bible Readings:

·     The Base Cause:  Romans 7:1, 12-25

·     Tempted of the Devil:  Luke 4:1-13



Hymn 11 (Tune 13):  A Returned Heart

·     God had chosen David but that did not mean that he would be without faults

·     David was a “man after God’s own heart”, although at the same time he did many things that were wrong, as well as things that would be repugnant to us today! 

·     Like all descendants of Adam (except for Jesus) David was subject to the influence of Satan who attracts the evil within us and causes us to sin

·     David was tried by God, and sometimes failed badly, but through these trials he was refined by God as an example to give us hope 

·     Each of us will be tried in our own lives as God refines us to remove the evil from within us

·     Those faithfully waiting for Jesus Christ have the hope to be refined in spirit and soul and body and enter in life eternal at His return. 



Hymn 122 (Tune 123):  Our Own Nature - The Biggest Challenge!
