“For I resolved to

know nothing while

I was with you except

JESUS CHRIST and

 him crucified.” – First Corinthians 2:2

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked.

Galatians 6:7-9 

Intr.:

A man reaps what he sows.

A.  The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap DESTRUCTION;

B.  the one  who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap ETERNAL LIFE .

End: 

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

“For I resolved to know

nothing while I

was with you except

JESUS CHRIST

and him crucified.” –

First Corinthians 2:2

“One night the Lord spoke to Paul

Acts 18:9

Intr.:

in a vison:

1.  ‘Do not be afraid;

2.  keep on speaking,

3.  do not be silent.

4.  For I am with you, and

5.  no one is going to attack or

6.  harm you,

End:

because I have many people in this city.'”

“but those

Isaiah 40:31

Intr.:

who hope in the LORD

1.  will renew their strength.

2.  They will soar on wings like eagles;

3.  they will run and not grow weary,

4.  they will walk and not faint.”

End:

“For you

Philippians 1:29

Intr.: 

have been given

I.  not only the privilege of trusting in Christ

The conversion of the apostle Paul is referred to in the BIBLE four times, namely in:

1.  Acts 9:1-19

2.  Acts 22:3-21

3.  Acts 26:2-23

4.  Galatians 1:11-17

II. but also the privilege of suffering for him.”

In Second Corinthians 11:16-33 we are reading about the

sufferings of Paul.

1. “I have faced danger from rivers and from robbers.

2. I have faced  danger from my own people, the Jews, as well as from the Gentiles.

3. I have faced danger in the cities, in the deserts, and on the seas.

4. And I have faced danger from men who claim to be believers, but are not.

End:

“‘What should we do then?’

Luke 3:10-14

Intr.:

1.  the crowd asked.

John answered,

‘The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same.’

2.  Tax collectors also came to be baptized.

‘Teacher,’ they asked, ‘what should we do?’

‘Don’t collect any more than you are required to,’

he told them.

3.  Then some soldiers asked him, ‘And what should we do?’

 He replied,

‘Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely –

 be content with your pay.'”

End:

“THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS,

Jeremiah 31:35

1. he who appoints the sun to shine by day,

2. who decrees the moon and stars  to shine by night,

3. who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar –

End:

the LORD Almighty is his name: ‘Only……..'”

“This is what the LORD Almighty,

Jeremiah 7:3-9

Intr.:

the God of Israel,

says:

1.  Reform your ways and

your actions,

and I will let you live in this place.

2.  Do not trust in deceptive words and say, ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD!’

3.  If you really change your ways and

your actions and

4.  deal with each other justly,

5.  if you do not oppress the alien,

the fatherless or

the widow and

6.  do not shed innocent blood in this place, and

7.  if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,

then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever.

End:

But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.”
