Are You Pleased with Me, God? (17 of 31)

2 Corinthians 7:12-16
If you have your Bible, please turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 7. We’re going to finish 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 tonight. We’re going through verse by verse in the Book of 2nd Corinthians and learning and growing as we go.
I was reading today about a very interesting man. He was married, 65 years old, finds out his wife is pregnant, kind of a shocker in our world. He lived back some years ago.

Enter into the joy of your Master.” To know that you lived a life that pleased the heart of God, that is the highest testimony that anyone can ever obtain. And Enoch obtained it as he walked with God – not a few steps, but for ...
