2.    the earth is my footstool.

4.    Where will my resting place be?

5.    Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?’

End:

declares the LORD.”

Character

“Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realise this. For the world was built to develop character and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.” – Henry Ford (Coffee News, Vol 128:4)

Please compare the above quote by Henry Ford with the following verses from the BIBLE, written by the apostle Paul to the church in Rome.

“And we rejoice in the HOPE of the glory of God.

(“…, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” – NLT)

Not only so, but we also rejoice  in our sufferings,

because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

perseverance, character; and

character HOPE.

And HOPE does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” Romans 5:2-5 ( “And this hope will not lead us to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” – NLT)

Are those two writers not saying the same thing?

Please let me know!

Romans 5:2-5 is also a good outline for a sermon.

“Large crowds were traveling with Jesus , and turning to them he said:

Luke 14:25-27

Intr.:

A.  ‘If anyone comes to me and

does not hate his

1.  father and

2.  mother, his

3.  wife and

4.  children, his

5.  brothers and

6.  sisters – yes, even his

7.  own life –

he cannot be my disciple.

B.  And anyone

who does not carry

1.  his cross and

2.  follow me

cannot be my disciple.'”

“But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man ‘unclean.’

Matthew 15:18, 19

For out of the heart come

1.  evil thoughts,

2.  murder,

3.  adultery,

4.  sexual immorality,

5.  theft,

6.  false testimony,

7.  slander.

These are what make a man ‘unclean’; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him ‘unclean.'”

Who is Blessed?

WHO IS BLESSED?

Luke 11:27,28

Intr.:

THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE says not only blessed, but happy and to be envied. Who does not want to be happy?

1.  Blessed is the mother who gave you birth.

2.  Blessed is the mother who nursed you.

That’s what a woman in the crowd called out!

But what did the Lord Jesus Christ reply? He replied:

3. Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God.

Those people who hear the word of God are happy and to be envied.

HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.

Please don’t only hear the word of God on Sunday in the church, but read it also at home.

Listen to the instructions.

4.  Blessed rather are those who obey the word of God.

Those people who obey the word of God are happy and to be envied.

OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD.

Obey the instructions.

End:

If we want to be blessed, if we want to be happy  and to be envied we must hear and obey the BIBLE!
