Obedience

Romans 5:12

Actions have Consequences #

Romans 5:12, 18-21

Introduction

The message is simple tonight, but I believe it is important for us to grasp the great truth in this chapter.

I. Offense Caused #

A. Judgement (18) #

  • judgement - the process of examining facts and arguments, to ascertain propriety and justice

Heb. 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Mark 2:13 - Following Jesus

Following Jesus #

Mark 2:13-17

Introduction

Jesus had just been in the house, with a lot of people, and healed the paralyzed man. He now goes out to the sea side, and is again followed by a multitude. They didn't have cameras to take pictures, but imagine the paparazzi. Jesus amassed a large following because of the miracles He did. We have the specific calling of Matthew.

I. His Calling (Mark 2:13-14) #

A. Seaside calling #

1. "by the sea" (13) #
  • There was a lot of space for the crowd to gather.
  • It was not limited to the crowded house
2. "the multitude" (13) #
  • Walking through the pages of Mark, many miracles had been done! Word had gotten out, and Jesus had become popular!
3. "he taught them" (13) #
  • Jesus is found over and over teaching people!
  • He was more than just a miracle worker, he was a minister, and had a message from the Word!
  • The calling came during the teaching of the Word!

B. Spontaneous calling #

1. "as he passed by" (14) #
  • The Gospel message is often a fleeting message!

Matthew 13:4 “^4\ ^And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:”

Proverbs 3:1

Forget Not #

Pro 3:1-6

Intro.

I have been taking the passages one paragraph at a time. Usually the paragraph tends to have a fluid theme that runs through it. There are many things that tie these verses together, and yet at the same time, it is necessary to treat each of these topics on their own. The depth of thought that runs through each one, certainly merits a message in and of itself. We could entitle it the “Not” series.

Proverbs 3:13

Wisdom and Understanding #

Pro 3:13-20

I. Promise (13) #

A. Happiness #

Most people today, are not happy! They are mad, they are frustrated, they are disappointed, they are depressed, they are discouraged… Most people want to be happy!

True happiness is not found in possessions, power, or position, but rather in the knowledge offered by God!

Happiness Is The Lord

  • Happiness is to know the Savior

Psalm 119:1 - Obedience Makes a Difference

Obedience Makes a Difference #

Psalm 119:1-8

Introduction

Psalm 119 is broken up into 22 parts based on the Hebrew Alphabet. Interestingly enough, the alphabet at least in the first two letters is similar to ours, A, B, Greek alphabet is where we derive the word alpha-bet, those letters are Alpha Beta. Just an interesting fact.

Each section consists of 8 verses, and each of those verses in the Hebrew language, would start with the corresponding letter, Aleph for this section. It would have been a great Psalm to teach to your children to learn the letters.

Psalm 119:9 - Success in the Christian Life

Success in Christian Life #

Psalm 119:9-16

Introduction

What is Success in the Christian life? What do I mean by that, I think success in the christian life should be defined by a genuine, sincere walk with the Lord, in which the christian grows, and develops a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. You can call it spirituality, success, a truly genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, but whatever words you use to define that, I’m calling that a successful christian life.

Proverbs 19 - Path

April 29, 2020

Instruction #

Proverbs 19:20

Introduction

Last week we looked at: Path of Life: 1. Integrity, 2. Ignorance 3. Idleness 4. Intelligence

All the verses we will look at tonight pertain to Instruction. Proverbs talks a lot about instruction. Really, in the Path of life, we have access to a lot of instruction. We pick and chose the instruction we want to follow. As we study the Proverbs, understand that for the most part when instruction is mentioned, it is talking about spiritual godly instruction found in the Word of God. You will find no greater instruction.
