Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Before I jump into this week’s verse and saying, I want to let you know that I know I spelled “Immanuel” with an “I” instead of an “E”, Emmanuel. …
Psalm 103:2 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. There is a hymn called “Count Your Blessings” that I used to sing. It’s an old, OLD song and many of you probably have never heard of it. But I want you to watch and …

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
