Sermon
Video Review from Sunday:
-These videos show how deep and pervasive evil is.
-People argue against the simplest of things.
-If you have no God you’re liable to come up with some foolish ideas.
-The truth is right in front of some people and they willingly choose not to accept it.
-…and for the people who pretend to be ignorant, you will still be judged.
Scripture: Romans 1
-Nature should lead you to God not away from him.
-People like to discuss Greek Mythology in school but yet the get offended when you want to talk about Jesus.
-Some people who talk ignorantly about God aren’t always just confused…they might be cursed.
-A lot of people love to believe in God’s blessings but not his curses.
Scripture: Proverbs 27
-The word of God gives you advice about daily situations.
-In your daily conversations you will start to realize that how most people make decisions is not really Godly.
-A lot of people make 5 year plans or set weekly, monthly, and annual goals…but make no commitments to doing more for Christ.
-People live too much on feelings and not on faith.
-People neglect to ask “whether it’s right or wrong” but rather how they feel about it.
-Being ignorant when you’re mad creates all kinds of problems. Anger can make you a foolish person.
-As a believer you are never to try and inflict wrath. How can you be a good example of Christ with malicious intents in your heart?
-You are probably going to go to hell if you can’t control your anger.
Scripture: James 4
-God is really not concerned about your goals as much as you are concerned about your goals.
-People are steadily asked “what they want to be and what they want to do” but the real question is what are you adding to God’s kingdom.
-God comes first. Period.
-If you are truly were you need to be in God then you are accomplished, no matter what the world says.
-The most important thing to you should not be where you work. Unfortunately the most important thing in most Americans life is their job.
-Don’t sacrifice your soul in pursuit of a job.
-Doing good is sometimes opposite of what people want to do. Make the right decision.
-At what sacrifice and what price would you exchange your soul?
-The next time someone asks you “What do you do?” tell them about your FIRST occupation; working for Christ.
-A lot of people think it’s a great testimony to live for the Lord, and it is. But it’s also a shame if you don’t.
-Sometimes exposure is DANGEROUS.
-Instead of being focused on a grand platform, utilize where you are now to be effective in Christ.
-Remember what your purpose is on this earth don’t lose focus.
-Popular does not mean right and popular does not change the meaning of the bible.
Scripture: Proverbs 7
-Be careful the world will confuse you, if you let it.
-PG-13 isn’t what it used to be. The world is gradually slipping more and more towards glorifying evil things.
Scripture: Colossians 3
-Don’t be an envious person.
-It’s hard to rationalize with envious people.
-If you find yourself dealing with people described in this lesson, share the scriptures from this bible study with them.
-Do you want to know how to become a better friend?…Tell your friends the TRUTH.
-Are you a faithful friend?
-Your either with Jesus or you’re against him. There is no middle ground.
