“An oracle is within my heart
Psalm 36:1-4
Intr.:
concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
***************************
1. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2. For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to
a. detect or
b. hate his sin.
3. The words of his mouth are
a. wicked and
b. deceitful;
4. he has ceased to be
a. wise and to
b. do good.
5. Even on his bed he plots evil;
6. he commits himself to a sinful course and
7. does not reject what is wrong.”
End:
WHO ARE YOU?
My answer:
Intr.:
I AM A FOLLOWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO SAYS:
*************************
1. “‘I am the bread of life.'” ( John 6:35 )
2. “‘I am the light of the world.'” (John 8:12)
3. “‘I am the good shepherd.'” (John 10:11)
4. “‘I am the
a. resurrection and the
b. life.'” (John 11:25)
5. “‘I am the
a. way and the
b. truth and the
c. life.'” (John 14:6)
6. “‘I am the true vine,…'” (John 15:1)

“For I resolved
to know
nothing while
I was with you

“AND THE WORDS
Psalm 12:6

“‘But how can a mortal be righteous before God?
Job 9:2-14
Intr.:
Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand.
1. His wisdom is profound,
2. his power is vast.
3. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?
4. He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger.
5. He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.
6. He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;
7. he seals off the light of the stars.
8. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
9. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
11. When he passes me, I cannot see him;
12. when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
13. If he snatches away, who can stop him?
14. Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
15. God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
End:
How then can I dispute with him?
How can I find words to argue with him?'”
“For I resolved to
know nothing
while I was with
you except Jesus Christ and
him crucified.”
