Have you ever thought about why evil exists in the world? Or why you want to do the right thing but can't seem to get on track?
A lot of deep questions like this have everything to do with what is in our hearts. Jeremiah the prophet sought God to understand how the human heart works (spiritually)

But there are a few who have ears to hear and want to learn about the kingdom. Jesus is there for them

In part 2 of the message on Psalm 34, Pastor Ziad highlights the many points of instruction we learn from King David writing this psalm. Trusting God, experiencing God, and learning the fear of God are all valuable lessons learned from going through this psalm.
Before writing Psalm 34, David had just escaped death again by pretending we was insane. He went all the way back to the same town that Goliath was from and got himself into some trouble yet again. Although he made some poor choices and was not perfect, David perfected the practice of praising God and TRUSTING Him throughout everything. In this message, Pastor sheds light on some things we can learn from Psalm 34
We get frustrated when we have faith for certain things but they don't come to pass, but the bible lays out directions for what to do in those times; TAKE ACTION.
Acting on the word we have will produce the fruit that glorifies God. The question is, are we willing to step out of our comfort zone to get there?
"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

We live in the era of information overwhelm. Even in a time where people have lost trust in the media, it still seems like we are being bombarded with news from every side.

Jesus often told his disciples to understand the times. The sky tells us about the weather and the stock market tells us about the economy, but we are called to understand the times we are living in through spiritual eyes.
