#
Mark 3:13-21
Introduction
We are going to look at those who are close to God. Man throughout
history is trying to get close to God. There is only one way to get
close to God!
Jesus is constantly interacting with people in his life time. The
difference between how Jesus interacts, and how we interact, is he never
made a mistake! His interactions were intentional. Everything written in
the Bible about the life of Jesus is deserving of study, and learning!
He provided for us a perfect example in every area of life.

#
Mark 6:1-3, 1-13
Introduction
Not everything in ministry goes well. We are programmed to think that if
something is off, something doesn’t go well, then we must find the
fault, we must change something, we must do something different.

Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath
done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”

Psalm 119:41-48
Introduction
This portion is cleanly divided into two different ideas. As a result I only have two points. However, you can think of them as two messages, as each one could very well be separate messages. I will give them both to you, but in an effort to better help us, we are going to focus on the second portion. The first portion is verses 41-43, and the second point comes from verses 44-48.

Integrity
#
Proverbs 20:7 – The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are
blessed after him.
Introduction
Integrity is something that is very important. Integrity is not
something easily viewed. Integrity is that personal desire to do what is
right when no one is around to notice, and no one will ever find out. It
is closely related to character.
I. Integrity in Conduct (Proverbs 20:7)

Prov. 22:15 ¶ Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the
