“Growing the Local Church” – Devotional Psalm (Pastor Christ Marley)

Great devotional on Psalm 118 by Pastor Chris Marley.  Below are some of the notes that I could type, as well as some pictures and the video.

update: The mp3 is now available.

God’s Elect are not exempt from turmoil
-    the Christian’s life grows from suffering
-    Sometimes there are storms from within as well as from without

Psalm 118:18
-    God will discipline us, but never give us over to spiritual death.
-    He chastens His Church, but does not give her over to death

Pastors need to preach the Truth from the Pulpit (great line, “It’s not like we’re running for governor!”)

We need to keep calling ‘em back to the Cross.  Christ and Christ alone, there is no other entrance into the church, there is no other way to be saved.

God has chosen the Styrofoam of the world (us) to glorify himself
