Notes:
In this week’s lesson, we begin by reviewing the “Beattitudes” from Matthew 5 – Blessed are they…
We then move to Matthew 7 and talk about staying on the straight and narrow – and not letting ourselves be liberal.
-some people are careful to protect their possessions, but not their own soul.
We move on to Romans 10:8 – and talk about the word of faith.
-we are reminded that the word of Faith that believers have is more than enough to dispute any “science” that goes against God.
And finally, our lesson this week also speaks to how “sorry” has little worth outside of true change.
Examples cited from Matthew 14 of Herod being sorry, but continuing with an evil oath.
And from 2 Corinthians 7 where Paul speaks to a Godly sorrow that brings repentance.
Let us not be afraid to speak the truth in love – even though it might hurt someone’s feelings.
Let us not stop at saying we are sorry, but rather make efforts to correct our wrongs – and set our steps (straight and narrow) in the Lord.
