No matter the planning that goes into future events, changes oftentimes happen.  As the theme for 2021 is reiterated through this message by Pastor Sargent, how did you fare with continuing stedfastly throughout the year in the following areas: the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship, Breaking of Bread, Prayers, Charity, and Soul-Winning?

Isaiah 7:1-16

The supernatural prophecy of the promised seed from Heaven to the earth.  This prophecy was penned around 735 years before Christ and fulfilled exactly as the prophet said.  The virgin birth was a fact and necessary because of the transmission of sin.  Through Christ’s birth we have assurance of home in Heaven one day.

Amos 7:1-17

In the days of Amos was a time of great spiritual darkness; much like today.  God’s Word is the plumbline, which is the foundation to which all is measured. How do you measure up?  We need men who would be willing to share God’s plumbline.

Acts 5:17-42

The Apostle Paul was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel, one of the most revered teachers of the Jewish law. When the Jewish leadership was about to slay the Apostles for preaching the gospel, Gamaliel counseled to let them go. He reasoned that if the Apostles were not of God, their movement would eventually fade on its own; and if they were in truth of God, it would be senseless fighting against God. Was Gamaliel’s counsel biblical, and are we to apply it as Christians?

II Chronicles 22:10-12

Jesus’ birth is a historical and an essential fact.  We need to be reminded of the purpose of Jesus’ coming.  God’s promises will prevail, even through the most difficult and unlikely circumstances.

1 John 3:10-18

This message considers the believer’s behavior in response to receiving the love of God in Christ. Pastor Sargent examines the nature of brotherly love, showing that it is to be Sacrificial, Sympathetic, Substantial, and exercised Scripturally.

1 John 3:1-9

Luke 23:1-12

Isaiah 50:4

Whatever the season in life you are going through, the Saviour has a word to the weary.

John 20:19-21

In this message Pastor Geist presents two aspects of wolves and sheep: (1) Wolves amidst the Sheep and (2) Sheep going out amidst the Wolves.  Pastors as under shepherds Evaluate, Expose, and Expel wolves amidst the sheep (church).  As sheep, believers must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Galatians 2:11-21

Paul was passionate about the true gospel.  Where is that passion in people today?  Believers are to Protect, Preach, and Pattern the gospel.

2 John 1-6

The book of Second John has a main theme of a call for discernment.  Two concerns expressed in the passage is how believers relate to other believers and how believers are to respond to spiritual threats.  In this message Brother Sargent presents a godly man’s Rejoicing, Request, and Reminder.

Philippians 4:4-9

The life of peace is a life of joyful obedience, of daily restraint, of consistent prayer, and of proper thought.  This message presents insight from God’s word on your thought life.  Do you have praiseworthy thinking?  If God were to take a walk through your mind, what would He see?

Acts 15:40—16:5

Sacrificing for the cause of Christ involves more than giving money.  There are other sacrifices that must be made for the sake of the Gospel. Pastor Sargent presents five areas of sacrifice that are necessary for effective missions: (1) the Men who are Sent, (2) the Sending Church, (3) Parents, (4) the Next Generation, and (5) the Supporting Churches.  Willing to sacrifice your Comfort, Companions, Children, Carcass, and Cash? 

Is there a time for righteous indignation?  What about being mad at God?  Many times, a person is led to be mad at God because they experience tribulation in their life.  In this message Pastor Geist uses three examples (Cain, Jonah, and David) to illustrate the right and wrong way to respond to tribulation.

II Corinthians 2:1-17

We need to acknowledge and understand our enemies.  It would be foolish to give the opposition an advantage.  Many times, Satan is given an advantage due to a lack of forgiveness on the part of a Christian.

Luke 8:16-18

There are many responses to hearing the Word of God; those that try to suppress, those that try to forget, those that will flat out reject what the word of God is saying to them.  Whatever God speaks to your heart about through His word it is going to come up again in your life.

Nehemiah 6:1-19

Are your worshipful heart and spiritual defenses lying in ruins? The good hand of God is vital to the rebuilding of your temple and walls. Enemies exist, repeatedly attacking to cause fear and stop the Lord’s work in your life. How is a Christian to respond? Learn from Nehemiah about the Attacks of the Lord’s Adversaries, the Response of the Lord’s Labourers, and the Strength of God’s Good Hand!

Romans 5:12-21

The fact that one specific first man Adam was created by God as literally interpreted in the Genesis account of creation is biblically and historically (and scientifically) accurate! To claim Adam is only allegorical, and to therefore remove him from history, is to remove the universal problem of sin from the human race. To remove the problem of sin is to consequently remove the need for the solution to our sin, the Lord Jesus Christ. Changing the first eleven chapters of Genesis from a literal history to an allegorical “mytho-history” changes not only Genesis, but the entire gospel of the New Testament. Removing historical Adam from Genesis destroys Paul’s gospel teaching to the Romans and Corinthians, and makes Jesus Christ a liar.

Mark 8:1-9

In this account of Christ feeding the four thousand, Pastor Geist expounds upon the scriptures to show that none but Christ can satisfy.  With many today seeking satisfaction everywhere else, the priority for satisfaction is J (Jesus), O (others), Y (yourself).

II Peter 3:10-14

In the world of uncertainty that we live in today, one thing is for certain, the Day of the Lord will come!  In this message Pastor Sargent paints a picture through the scriptures of the end times on the earth — with an interesting insight about the first creation.

Psalm 143

We expect when we pray that God will not only hear us, but answer with action. God has a similar expectation when He speaks to us! Listen and learn how this psalm defines both hearing and trusting.

James 1:1-16

Trials and temptations are a part of the Christian life.  When pressures from trials and temptations come, we are to Guard our Thoughts about God and get a Grasp of Who God Really is.

Romans 14:13-19

Joy is at the core of the Christian life.  In this message Brother Sargent shows through the scriptures that Christian joy is: (1) a Matter of Personal Fellowship, (2) a Matter of Priority, and (3) a Matter of Power.

II Peter 3:1-14

Critics attempt to destroy our confidence in the Word of God; its credibility and content are constantly attacked.  In this message Pastor Sargent presents from the scriptures two things’ about the scoffers: What the Scoffers Forget and What the Scoffers Reject.

I Samuel 2:27-36

The Bible certainly teaches parents to love their children! However, God’s Word also warns of the tragic consequences of loving and honoring your children more than God. Eli honored his sons more than God and suffered their loss in the flower of their age. Listen now as Pastor Geist gives some practical examples of how to love and honor God more than your children, as demanded by Christ of His disciples. 

I John 5:6-10

In this message Pastor Geist continues a study of God’s principle of requiring two or three witnesses.  Through the scripture passage he points our thoughts towards the witness of the Spirit as well as the Water and the Blood.

II Peter 3:1-4, 14-18

There are many today that deny and defy the truth of God’s Word.  In this message Pastor Sargent presents three areas critics have put a question mark upon God’s Word: (1) Authorship, (2) Plenary Inspiration, and (3) Canonization.

John 5:31-40, 8:12-19, I John 5:4-12

In this message Pastor Geist presents God’s principle of requiring two or three witnesses. New Testament scriptural applications are seen relating to evangelism, church disputes, prayer, and accusations against an elder. Most importantly to salvation, Jesus declared His deity as the Christ, the Son of God by two or three heavenly witnesses!

II Peter 2:1-22

There is an ever-present danger of apostasy because there are many false teachers/reprobates today.  In this message Pastor Sargent presents from the scriptures their Motive, Method, and Mold.

Isaiah 45

Listen as Pastor Geist presents parallels between the 45^th chapter of the “Mini Bible” Isaiah and the 45^th book of the Bible, Romans. The teaching demonstrates that the God of the Old Testament is the God of the New Testament, looking at (1) The Righteous God, (2) The Creator God, (3) The Exclusive God, and (4) The Anointing God.

II Peter 2:1-3

There are many false teachers in the world today just as there were in the days of the apostles.  In this message Pastor Sargent directs our attention to the agents of apostasy. . . . reprobates.  Through the scriptures he presents their Description and Doctrine.

Luke 1:1-4

What does the Bible teach concerning the existence of God?  Is there really a God?  If there is a God, what does that mean for me?  These questions are answered through Pastor Sargent’s exposition of the passage in the Gospel of Luke.

II Peter 1:1-21

We can have great confidence in God’s Word.  In this message Pastor Sargent presents the sufficiency of the scriptures to tell us everything we need to know.  The following aspects of the scriptures are discussed: Supernatural, Superiority, Supersedes, Surety, and Sanctuary.

II Peter 1:1-12

The ladder of spiritual success if often difficult to climb due to backsliding and stagnation.  God’s desire is that all believers would have a successful, thriving life through Him.  In this message Pastor Sargent presents the Rest for the Ladder, the Rungs on the Ladder, and the Reach of the Ladder of spiritual success.

2 Kings 6:8-23

Spiritual eyes in spiritual warfare take us from fretting to “Fear not!” The prophet Elisha’s three prayers in spiritual warfare were not necessarily to change the circumstances, but rather the perception of the true battleground. 

Colossians 2:9

Do you have a sense of WOW in your life as you contemplate the eternal fullness of Christ?  In this message Pastor Geist reminds believers to never lose the sense of “WOW” when considering the Lord Jesus Christ—all the fulness of the Godhead bodily!

Proverbs 14:4

One of the most common and serious sins that often goes unnoticed is grumbling and complaining.  In this message Brother Jeremiah presents four ways the scripture passage speaks about curing complaining: (1) Consider the Cost in Advance, (2) Putting Troubles in the Proper Perspective, (3) Considering the Loss of What I Think My Problem Is, and (4) When I see the True Wickedness of Complaining.

I Corinthians 15:9-10

How do you see or describe yourself as a Christian?  In this message Pastor Sargent explains three aspects of the Christian life: (1) our Standing, (2) our State, and (3) our Striving.  Through the text is presented Paul’s Fixation, Facilitation, and Foundation as well as ten benefits of being IN Christ.

1 Peter 5:5-11

In the world today many are struggling with some form of anxiety.  In this message Brother Jeremiah Sargent presents an Assessment of Anxiety as well as the Answer for Anxiety.

John 21:1-9

The scene on a balmy night as the fishermen were working the Bible says Peter was naked.  What does the scripture teach concerning nakedness?  To what extent was Peter naked?  Pastor Sargent explains through the scriptures the definition of nakedness and how it applies to each of us.

Matthew 4:18-22

Christians are called to follow Christ first and foremost, as opposed to anyone or anything else. We are prone to lose sight of such succinct direction for our lives. When the command is followed, the applied promise is that Christ will then make us fishers of men. Listen now as Pastor Geist preaches following Christ first over Career, Family, Friends, or some Religious Leader.

2 Chronicles 28:1-4,19-27

During the time of his distress king Ahaz set a bad example on what to do.  When distress comes and when difficulties come, in the time of your distress, what do you do?  Pastor Sargent presents through the scriptures the Cause, the Consequences, and the Coping with distress.  When we choose to leave God out of our lives, we will experience distress. 

Job 1:1-5

Proverbs 21:28

In this message Pastor Geist contrasts a False Witness and a True Witness.  Through the text the attributes of each type of witness is presented.

Acts 8:26-40

Philip is well known as a deacon and evangelist, however, another term that could be used for him is as a guide.  We, like Philip, must be ready to be used of the Lord.  There are those today that desire a guide. . . people pleading for someone to guide them spiritually.  Will you answer the call?

Matthew 19:1-9

In this passage Jesus addresses divorce and gives the reason why so many succumb to it then and now; through the hardness of the heart.  Pastor Sargent presents the Cause, Consequences, and Cure for a hardened heart.

1 Peter 3:1-13

Many enter marriage without consulting “the” book on marriage, that is, the Bible.  The context of the previous chapter deals with submission in the face of difficulties and struggles.  Pastor Sargent brings out Instructions for the Wife, Instructions for the Husband, and Instructions for the Couple from the passage.

Psalm 142

Whatever or whoever the adversary was, David saw his only hope to be in God.  Our problems may not appear as dramatic as David’s, but they are just as real, just a debilitating, just as overwhelming, and often just as frightening.  Whether our enemy is a person or a set of circumstances, our only hope is in the Lord!

Psalm 119:176

All we like sheep have gone astray (Isaiah 53:6)—prior to salvation, but sadly at times afterwards. What to do when we go astray is part of the ABC’s of Christianity:  (1) Admit you have Gone Astray, (2) Beg the Shepherd to Seek His Servant, and (3) Commit to not Forget His Commandments. Follow these actions to return to the Shepherd and Bishop of your soul, and stay there, understanding your role as a Sheep, Servant, and Student of the Word of God.

Psalm 40

Just as dissonance in music needs to be resolved, our lives can have discord that needs to be resolved as well.  Dissonance means a lack of harmony or agreement between things.  Pastor Geist brings out two aspects of discordance from the text: (1) Timing that Cannot be Understood; and (2) Things that Cannot be Numbered. The Lord is the resolving chord in the discord of life!  

1 Chronicles 5:18-22

During the heat of battle sometimes we ask for God’s help, but often we do not.  God can and will give us the strength to get through these times. . . if we would only ask.  Those that trust in God will have victory in whatever battle they face.  God can help you in your battles, you must trust His Plan, His Purpose, and His Power.

I Corinthians 9:15-23

Paul’s approach in winning others to Christ was to be a servant to all.  He adjusted his approach when dealing with various people groups in order to present the same Gospel message.  Like Paul, we too must learn the following about a lost soul in order to present the gospel effectively — what that person believes or knows about (1) God, (2) the Bible, (3) Jesus Christ, and (4) the way of Salvation.  Understanding where a prospect is in these areas helps to guide the conversation towards spiritual matters.

Matthew 17:1-8

Peter, James and John’s familiarity with Jesus began to become an issue in their walk with Him.  Just like these men, we need the Father to humble us so that we could be used more effectively for Him.  Pride makes us unteachable; and we’ll not be profitable until we’re teachable.

Psalm 86:1-17

Although David’s mother’s name is not given in scripture, this godly woman had a great impact on his life!

Acts 10:44-48

As the second part of the message regarding Peter presenting the gospel to Cornelius, Pastor Sargent presents how salvation is a work of God.  Three aspects of soul-winning are presented from the text: (1) Evidences of the Spirit’s Work, (2) Response to Salvation, and (3) Follow-up to Salvation.

Acts 10:34 -43

As the Apostle Peter spoke to Cornelius, we can see the particular way he presented the gospel.  How we go about presenting the gospel is important.  Pastor Sargent brings out important points from the text, Peter explained: Who the Gospel is For, Peace, and When the Gospel Began.

Jeremiah 31:1-17

This message extracts principles contained in this prophetic passage to highlight the hope God gives to His people in times of grief.  Using the examples of the grief of Job, the grief of the mothers of Bethlehem, and the grief of Jeremiah himself, Pastor Sargent applies the promises of God that bring hope to those who are grieving over loss. We may not understand the “WHY” when dealing with grief, but our focus needs to be on the “WHO” (the God of everlasting love)!

Ephesians 5:14-17

God’s principle of compound interest is not exclusive to money. It is rooted in God’s supernatural word, manifest in God’s physical creation, and applicable to God’s spiritual work. Compound interest manifests itself in our lives—for better or for worse. Pastor Geist presents three different aspects of compound interest: (1) Finances, (2) Family, and (3) Evangelism. When Christians put these simple thoughts into action, God’s compound interest does great things!

Proverbs 24:10-12

In this message, Pastor Sargent speaks about personal soul winning, specifically why many Christians do not win a soul to Jesus Christ.  The text bears out three reasons why this happens: (1) If thou Faint, (2) If thou Forbear, and (3) If thou Feign.

II Chronicles 15:1-19

In this message, Pastor Sargent focuses on the subject of dedication, or consecration — using the example of King Asa of Judah.

Asa’s story unfolds over three chapters of the book of Second Chronicles. Chapter 14 speaks of his REFORMS, and chapter 15 of REVIVAL (which followed his dedication of precious treasures to the Lord and His temple. Sadly, chapter 16 is all about Asa’s RETREAT, in which he took back that which he had dedicated to the Lord. Asa was one of the “good” kings of Judah, but in the end, he relied upon man instead of the Lord. In making application, Pastor Sargent highlighted several areas of life that Christians often dedicate to the Lord — such as their Time, their Talents, their Treasure, their Tribe (marriage, children), and of the Temple of their own body.

Revelation 1:4-20

The first chapter of the book of The Revelation records “the things which thou hast seen” — the first division of the book (Revelation 1:19).

The “things” which John saw and was instructed to record was the vision of the resurrected, glorified Christ. As Jesus, the Great “I AM,” spoke to the aged apostle, He declared the words that are the central and defining message of true Biblical Christianity: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore.”

This message is a triumphant exposition of this unique truth.

[The Discourses of Christ series #34]

John 15:18-16:16

As Christ concluded His farewell message to His church, He spoke to His disciples of the “Way of the World,” the “Purpose of the Paraclete,” and the power that would be theirs to overcome the world and win the lost to Him — namely, the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of the Word of God, and the power of prayer.

Joshua 7:1-26

Some political and theological philosophies claim that personal liberty takes precedence over all. In contrast, the Bible teaches that we are to “use not our liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). Looking at Israel’s defeat against Ai recorded in Joshua chapter seven, Pastor Geist draws out two principles from the text:  All sin is against God; and all sin affects others.

Psalm 32:1-5

The sweet psalmist of Israel describes the blessedness of the LORD's forgiveness of sin in Psalm 32. The Lord Jesus Christ taught throughout His earthly ministry the interconnected principle of both receiving and extending blessed forgiveness.

[The Discourses of Christ series #33]

John 15:1-17

After leaving the upper room, Jesus continued His farewell message to His church — which included important matters such as abiding in Christ and fruitfulness, persecutions, prayer, and the purpose or ministry of the Holy Spirit. In this message Pastor Sargent focuses our attention on the two key words in the text: "Abide," and "Fruit."

1 Corinthians 12:18-27

As Pastor Geist expounds upon the teaching about the Lord’s Table, we see that if members have not the same care one for another, they are in danger of being divided.  Through the text we are challenged to do two things: (1) Recognize God Tempers the Body Together, and (2) we are to Exercise the Same Care One for Another.

John 14:15-31

[The Discourses of Christ series #32]

John 13:36-14:14

[The Discourses of Christ series #31]

John 13:25:31-35

[The Discourses of Christ series #30]

This is the first of a three-part series of messages on Jesus’ Upper Room Discourse.  Following the departure of the betrayer, Jesus begins giving to His church his farewell words in a very intimate, private conversation with His church. In this sermon, Pastor Sargent presents four components of the New Commandment: (1) the Command to Love, (2) the Causation of Love, (3) the Character of Love, and (4) the Corroboration of Love.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Partaking of the Lord’s Table unworthily can cause weakness, sickness, and even death.  Personal and corporate examination and preparation are therefore sober imperatives prior to the Lord’s Supper.  In that context, Pastor Geist addresses divisions within a church: causes, preventative measures, and corrective actions.

Matthew 25:31-46

[The Discourses of Christ series #29]

In this final message on the “Olivet Discourse,” Pastor Sargent explains the coming “Throne of Glory” judgment of the nations, pointing out the specific objectives of this judgment, and its two possible outcomes.

Matthew 25:14-30

[The Discourses of Christ series #28]

This second parable in Matthew 25 is the parable of the “Talents.” This is a parable about REWARDS for serving the Lord. Pointing out that, while we are not saved by our works, a believer is saved to work and labor for the Lord, Pastor Sargent explains the value of a talent and the accounting of a believer’s stewardship at the Judgment Seat of Christ. In this sermon, he presents the Axioms of Stewardship, the Areas of Stewardship, and the Accounting of Stewardship.

Matthew 25:1-13

[The Discourses of Christ series #27]

Pastor Sargent continues in the series on the Olivet Discourse with the parable of the “Ten Virgins.” This is a parable about the RETURN of Christ for His saints.  The Rapture will be sudden and unexpected.  Using the following expressions taken from the text — “They that were ready,” “The door was shut,” and “I know you not” — Pastor Sargent emphasizes the need of a personal salvation through Jesus Christ.

Acts 8:26-40

A successful soul-winner will have six essential qualities: (1) Be Tuned-in to the Lord, (2) Be Willing to be Inconvenienced, (3) Be Willing to Interact with People, (4) Have some Enthusiasm, (5) Have Skill in using the Scriptures, and (6) Know What is Involved in true Salvation.

Matthew 24:29-35

[The Discourses of Christ series #26]

As the fourth part of a series on the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Sargent addresses Jesus’ answer to the question: What shall be the sign of the end of the world?  In this message, four aspects of the end of this present world order are: (1) the Calendar, (2) the Coming, (3) the Calling, and (4) the Clue.

Matthew 24:15-28

[The Discourses of Christ series #25]

Jesus answered the second question asked by His disciples: What shall be the sign of thy coming? From this passage of scripture, Pastor Sargent uses the prophecy of Daniel’s Seventy Weeks and corresponding references in the book of The Revelation to explain and describe the Great Tribulation, which shall be as a time of Peril, Persecution, Pretense, and Punishment.

Matthew 24:1-14

[The Discourses of Christ series #24]

As the second part of a series on the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Sargent addresses Jesus’ answer to the question: When shall these things be?  In this message, seven characteristics of the present day in which we live are presented as an age of: (1) Religious Deception, (2) International Conflict and Upheaval, (3) Natural Disasters, (4) Anti-Semitism, (5) False-Prophets, (6) Religious and Moral Apostasy, and (7) World Evangelism.

Matthew 14:21-33

God still needs preachers, and God still calls preachers. God used the text to reveal a call into the ministry for Pastor Geist, with Jesus’ one word response to Peter, “Come.” Have you prayerfully asked God if he’s calling you, and then searched the scriptures for His answer?

Genesis 24:1-21

The Bible teaches both the sovereignty of God and the free will of man, regardless of our finite ability to understand the integration of those two truths. Listen to how the Holy Spirit teaches both “Sovereignty and Selection” from Genesis Chapter 24.

[The Discourses of Christ series #23]

Matthew 24:1-3

In the first message in a series on the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Sargent points to the fact of the prophetic significance of this passage.  He presents the prophetic context of the discourse from the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ discourse as well as the context of the discourse from the sermon itself.

Acts 19:8-9

The way TO life is THROUGH Jesus Christ; once saved, the way OF life is IN Jesus Christ.  Many Christians today know many scriptures, but do not have confidence in presenting the way of salvation.  All Christians bear the responsibility in giving the lost directions to “the way!”  Pastor Sargent presents how Paul used a consistent pattern in witnessing to others, and then taught on the four basic requirements of a soul winning approach.  Attached to the Audio Sermon page is an exercise for you to do regarding the Way of Salvation.

Hebrews 10:32-37

How is your faith?  We lose confidence when we take our eyes off Christ.  In this portion of Scripture Pastor Sargent gives three reasons to have a confidence boost: a Reminder of the Past, a Recommendation for the Present, and Rest in the Future.

[The Discourses of Christ series #22]

Matthew 23:1-12

Pastor Sargent brings out five key points, both practical and doctrinal, from this passage in the Gospel of Matthew: Respect for Authority, the Reality of Hell, Rectitude without Regard, the Register of Scripture, and the Right of Refusal.

[The Discourses of Christ series #21]

Matthew 19:1-12

As the twenty-fifth recorded discourse of Christ, this passage presents the harmony and hardship of marriage and divorce.  Pastor Sargent shows from the scriptures God’s plan for marriage and His will in the permanence of marriage.

Job 2:1-10

Integrity centers more on moral wholeness even in negative circumstances.  Through the scriptures Pastor Geist presents the characterization of Job’s integrity as through God’s testimony, Job’s wife, and Job’s own testimony.

Genesis 8:8-10

In The Garden is a favorite hymn of many Christians. The text speaks of sweet fellowship with God in the garden of prayer. In Genesis Chapter Three we read of quite a contrast sin brings “in the garden,” changing the joy we can share as we tarry there to fear and hiding from God. In your garden of prayer, are you hiding from God or abiding in God? Do you cry out to God for help, or does he call out to you, “Where art thou?” Are you afraid, or do you boldly pray for mercy and grace to help in time of need? Listen now to evaluate your prayer time, In The Garden.

Jeremiah 8:18-22

The weeping prophet Jeremiah grieved over his nation, the nation of Israel.  He showed a great burden for his people.  Many today demonstrate a lack of empathy for the lost all around us.  Our job is not to save, but to lead others to the Saviour.

Romans 10:1-10

As we live for Christ our goals should be directed by God’s word.  Many today have empty resolutions; however, the Apostle Paul is a great example of someone with strong heart’s desire.  Through the scriptures Pastor Sargent presents two things that will affect your heart: (1) See the Lost as God Sees them, and (2) Seek the Lost as God Seeks them.
