Proverbs 22:1

I. Testimony (Pro 22:1) Testimony

A. Fictional - False Image

1. Virtual Image

  • One of the greatest inherent dangers of the internet, is anyone with a little computer knowledge, can create a website, false credentials, and look good on a website!
  • Crooks, scam artists, the identity thieves do it
  • One of my problems with ‘virtual church’

2. Social Media

  • Image you portray online… what do you paint as yourself.
  • People often mask who they are, and what they represent.
  • This is a serious danger of meeting people online
  • Police do this in sting operations, posing as someone they are not.

3. Who you really are???

  • You know in your heart, what is in there.

Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Set your Mind to it

1 Chronicles 28:8-10

Introduction

We are staying within the series of the mind, but we are expanding it a little to the future. It really is a message to the next generation. I’m 50 years old, I have more years behind me than I have in front of me. However, I want the influence, and impact of my life to count for the cause of Christ. I’m not resigning to be done, there is much work to do.

God’s Will for your Home

God’s Will for your Home

Eph 5:17-21

Introduction

I want to preach on the christian home. It is an important topic, and one that certainly needs addressed. I will get to questions that are submitted, at some point.

The homes in our country are an absolute wreck. Satan has had an absolute field day destroying the family unit in this country. Marriages are failing at an unprecedented rate! So much so, that people have decided why get married! Children are put into difficult positions because of the failure of marriages, and guilt of the parents. At the heart of every divorce is selfishness that says, I deserve more, I want more, I expect more.

I. Abraham Laughs! (Gen 17:15-20)

A. Announcements (15-16)

1. God is conversing with Abraham! (Gen 17:1-3)

2. This was not the first time!

Gen. 12:1 ¶ Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Mother of Moses

Exodus 2:1-10

Introduction

Jochebed is not a prominent name in the Bible. Matter of fact, it is probably that many don’t even recognize the name. However the christian world at large today would know her son. Moses! The man who led the Israelites out of bondage from Egypt. The man who led the Israelites through the desert for 40 years! Moses, a mighty leader for 40 years!
