worshiphisholynameEIL

Welcome to the Transformed podcast.

Looking for some encouragement? Join us as we refocus on our incredibly gracious and compassionate LORD over the next four studies!

Our God is amazing! And often, in the crush of life, we forget all that God does for us! This new series is dedicated to remembering and praising our God – the God who showers us with benefits, who slathers us with mercy, who surround us with love, and who celebrates with us when He blesses our lives!

The fountain of youth has been sought after for hundreds of years! New anti-aging products are developed and marketed every week. Turning back the clock seems to be one of the most important of life’s challenges these days.

As we open our Bibles to Psalm 103, Dr. Matthew Lee Smith, lead Pastor at Pacific Baptist Church in El Segundo, California explains that God has already developed such a product and marketed it to the faithful who read and apply His revealed Word. That product is to remember all of His benefits!

 

And with that final prayer of gratitude, Dr. Smith wraps up this first message in the series, “Worship His Holy Name!

Perhaps you would you consider sharing this message with a friend? God longs to release the captives of our culture into the freedom of faith. Thank you!

If you would like to explore how to enjoy a deeper life with God, one that God is pleased with, Dr. Smith has written a daily devotional book that will help you do just that!

In His Presence is a detailed look at walking with God through life’s ups and downs. Built around the premise that God welcomes you into His presence with joy and pleasure, In His Presence helps you see that the life of abundance can only be enjoyed when we take everything to the Lord and walk every day at His right hand.

You can order a copy of In His Presence from Amazon by clicking the link on the side panel of the Eagles In Leadership website.

Today’s episode was recorded live in El Segundo, California and edited by Ryan Longsworth in Los Angeles, California.

And now, until next time, we are praying that you would be filled with the love of God so that you can demonstrate His love to the lost and dying in your city! God bless!
