First Corinthians 2:2
“For I resolved to know
nothing while
I was with
you except Jesus Christ and him
crucified.”

THE PRIESTLY BLESSING
This is how you are to bless the Israelites
Deuteronomy 6:22-27
Intr. :
Say to them:
1. The Lord bless you and
2. keep you;
3. the Lord make his face shine upon you and
4. be gracious to you;
5. the Lord turn his face toward you and
6. give you peace.
End:
So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.
“For I resolved to know
nothing while
I was with you
except Jesus Christ and him
crucified.”
First Corinthians 2:2

DISOBEDIENCE WILL BE PUNISHED
Intr.:
–“But if you will not listen to me and
–carry out all these commands, and
–if you reject my decrees and
–abhor my laws and
–fail to carry out all my commands and
–violate my covenant,
THEN I WILL DO THIS TO YOU:
1. I will bring upon you sudden terror,
2. wasting deseases and
3. fever that will destroy your sight and
4. drain away your way of life.
5. You will plant seed in vain,
because your enemy will eat it.
6. I will set my face against you,
so that you will be defeated by your enemies;
7. those who hate you will rule over you, and
8. you will flee even when no one is persuing you.”
End:
“Be inspired by words…..”
Yes, I am inspired by words, even this morning. This morning I am inspired by the words in Romans 8:38,39. I hope you are too! It is another beautiful Golden Nugget. I came across it just now in a book by C. H. Spurgeon. (Morning and Evening) Here we go:
NO SEPARATION FROM THE LOVE OF GOD!!
Romans 8:38,39
For I am convinced that neither *
– death nor (First Corinthians 15:26; First Corinthians 15:54,55)
Isaiah 25:8 “he will swallow up death forever.”
– life, neither
– angels nor
– demons, neither the
– present nor the
– future, nor any
– powers, neither
– height nor
– depth, nor
– anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

DESTRUCTION AND LIFE
Matthew 7:13,14
That are the Words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us remember that!
Intr.:
Enter through the narrow gate.
****************
A. THE ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
1. For wide is the gate and
2. broad is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it.
****************
B. THE ROAD TO LIFE
1. But small is the gate and
2. narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
******************
End: many / few
Luke 2:52
“And JESUS
increased in
1. WISDOM and
2. STATURE, and in
3. FAVOUR with
–God and
–man.”
“I AM THE GATE;
John 10:9
Intr.: whoever enters through me
1. will be saved.
2. He will come in
3. and go out,
4. and find pasture.”
end:
I was still quite a distance away from the parked car, but I recognized the big letters and the big heart on the sticker of the front bumper: “I LOVE MY WIFE.” I love my wife also! Now I was really curious, and when I came nearer I went to look at the sticker properly and in smaller script it said, “PROMISEKEEPRS.” You have heard about the Promisekeepers.
What an encouragement – and that on our street, which is not very long indeed.
The Bible, the Word of the Living God, demands that we love our wives.
Ephesians 5:25,26,27
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church
1. and gave himself up for her
2. to make her holy,
3. cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
4. and to present her to himself as a radiant church,
a. without stain
b. or wrinke
c. or any other blemish,
d. but holy and
e. blameless.”
First Peter 3:7
First Corinthians 9:22
ALL
Intr.:
“I have become
1. all things to
2. all men so that by
3. all possible means
End:
I might save some.”
