Knowledge about God is never the ultimate goal. We long to know God because God is infinitely glorious, infinitely good, infinitely gracious, and the One who alone can satisfy our souls. As we know Him, we delight in Him. This delighting in God moves us to know Him more and more. Yet, knowing and delight aren’t enough either. Because as we know God and delight in God, we will be transformed by God. God’s great longing is that we would live our lives for His glory. Psalm 119 pushes us to that end-living for the glory of God alone. So we may be a congregation that eagerly and joyfully seeks to know God, delight in God, and be transformed by God! 1. God is Enough | Psalm 119:57-58. 2. The Necessity of Thinking before Doing | Psalm 119:59-60. 3. Obedience is Not Circumstantial | Psalm 119:61-64.

This week, we find ourselves in Psalm 119:49-56. The Word of God pushes us at times. It pushes us to the hard reality that when we side with God, when we agree with God, we will suffer persecution from those who don't love God. This has been true throughout all of redemptive history and is true today. The Word also pushes us to realize that we will at time stand on unpopular truth because God's Word is clear. We are not able to pick and choose what is "acceptable truth" in our day and age but rather we are called to take God at His Word and believe it in its entirety. O that EGBC would be a church that eagerly sides with God regardless of the consequences. May we hold out both grace & truth to one another and to a world that desperately needs the Savior.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. What is the will of God for the believer? Your sanctification is the process by which God's Holy Spirit transforms believers thoughts, motives, and behavior to conform to the holiness (purity, separation from sin's defilement) of Christ Himself.

God has provided mankind with a very much needed savior. Because the Savior has been born, peace with God is possible!
