Selected highlights from this sermon
Our values in life determine what we do. As believers, our greatest priority must be the Word of God because when we love the Word of God, we are loving Jesus—the living Word. When we make the Bible the most important thing in our lives, God gives great blessings.

Psalm 119 calls the Bible God’s law, testimony, ways, precepts, statues, commandments, judgments, and word.
