This sermon by James Smith is based on King David’s words in Psalm 63:1. Smith explains that the object of David's thirst was the Lord, not merely the tabernacle, or its services, or even devotion; but the Lord himself. He states that it is the same with every real Christian - his God is the object of his desire as He has revealed himself as the source of love - and love is the solace and delight of the soul.

The land of Bosnia has suffered bloodshed, atrocity, and ceaseless misery. But there is one man the people fear above all else.

Every member of the Force Recon team is absolutely vital, so the loss of men has taken quite a toll on Team 2400. But the replacements keep coming in. So do the mission orders. This time, Team Midnight is getting sent into the heart of the Iranian desert to inflict maximum casualities on a terrorist group responsible for bombing a U.S. warship.
