Restoring Our Nation
Jun 29, 2014 • Pastor Brian Long
King David, Israel's greatest king wrote, "Unless the Lord builds the house its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain" (Ps. 127:1). As it goes for the home, so it goes for the country. Some of you will naturally want to make this a political sermon, and you will listen to it with the bias of your own personal political views. Instead of that, I'd invite you to weigh this message against God's Word, the way that you weigh every message that I preach.
Turn in your Bibles to Matthew 7:24-27. These verses are Jesus' concluding thoughts after three chapters of teaching called "The Sermon on the Mount." Let's read verses 24-27 and let it serve as home base for our sermon time this morning.
