NOTES
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works.
Concerned about your impact on other people.
Psalms 1:1- 6
Don’t stand in the wrong place- sometimes you stand where you don’t need to.
How many of you think about God’s word daily- some go days or weeks.
Let God’s law be your delight! v. 3- bring forth his fruit in his season. When it is time
to be tested people don’t produce. You have to be what you are supposed to be when it is time. If you been studying your word then you will be what you need to be. v.5- some people think that it is hard to go to hell. You can go to hell for not being considerate. The standards in today’s church are too low for God’s expectations.
Romans 1:1-5
Word that is talked about a lot and that is the word “gospel”. The word gospel sometimes gets lost
in the translation. Gospel simply means good news. It gets lost in the translation by how people look at the book of Acts and how the good news makes people argue and upset. Why are you unhappy if it is the good news. Do you have joy, strength, determination, and consistency …? The good news is that God can save you, deliver you and give you a purpose to lift you out of sin.
The book of Romans is about the gospel The gospel is about Jesus coming and dying that we might know him.
I Peter 1:1-8
How much of your time do you spend wanting people to know the good news.
God has the power to raise the dead. What keeps you is your faith. When some people go through stuff they can’t tell you are a Christian. People in the bible go through far worse things but you can’t rejoice. These people were left for dead. Something has been lost in the translation that you missed what it means to really be saved. When you go through something your faith is being tried. v. 8- it is all about worship and praising God.
