The Real Prosperity Message (3 of 23)
Series: Life by the Book

Psalm 119:9-16
I'm preaching through Psalm 119 on Sunday evenings in a series entitled Life By The Book. The focus of Psalm 119 is the Word of God. That's right, this is a chapter in the Bible that is all about the Bible. And so, this sermon series focuses on how the Word of God directs our lives. It shows us how to live Life By The Book.

They promise material and monetary blessings if you just send them a bit of your money. Don't get caught up in the lie, don't buy into the sham. This is a perversion of the truth and it is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus says you might have to forsake everything to follow Him. And indeed, the Son of Man didn't even have a place to lay his head.*
