Precedence over the past.
1. They wanted Moses over Jesus.
2. It meant that they did not have a physical priest.
3. They did not have a physical temple building.
|
Jews had to confront:
● Not going to the temple.
● Not bringing an animal.
|
→
We need to consider these sacrifices.
1. Sacrifices of the Jews.
2. Sacrifice of Jesus.
3. Our Sacrifices.
|
God has promised to be our God and we can be in His house (sanctuary).
We need to get rid of:
1. Works of the flesh, immorality.
2. Impurity of the spirit.
3. False religion, false doctrine, false practice.
|
|
● Reach out for God
● That we would choose life over death
● Seek good, truth, and peace - turn from evil
● Our righteousness would rule over our evil
● That our fear of God outweighs our doubts
● Mercy in truth is offered by His glorious grace
● That we should know salvation is of the Lord
|
Five pillars of a Spiritual Life:
1. LOVE OF TRUTH,
2. GROWING CHARACTER
3. HUMILITY AND GLORY OF WORSHIP
4. JOY OF SACRIFICIAL SERVICE
5. STRENGTH OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP
|
Path to Success
1. Set a Goal
2. Prioritize Your Tasks
3. Have the Right Attitude
4. Do More Than Expected
5. Work Diligently
|
... He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. ~ Hebrews 11:6
Diligently Seek = Search Out
|
|
1. Sincerity
2. Seriousness
3. Decisiveness
4. Passion
5. Energy
6. Persistence

How do you answer to spiritual authority?
Was it
FROM HEAVEN
|
Then
BELIEVE IT

Was it
FROM MAN
|
Then
REJECT IT

Say You
DON'T KNOW

So Cowards
WON'T COMMIT

God wants us to be extra sure what He calls for:

Authority
Heaven or earth (men)
|
1. Authority → Submission
|
It is Christ we need to put on to receive the blessing.
The Reason:
1. His Nature → Gentle & Humble
2. His Yoke → Easy, pleasant, it fits
|
If we don't find Christ easy, then we are unbalanced
~ and lack faith or have trouble believing.

God has made His hierarchy for Mankind clear
● God formed man from dust and gave him life
● God said, "It is not good that man should be alone"
● God made woman from man for man's partner
● From the origin it was man and wife given by God
● Sin rose painful child bearing & hard labors for man
● God called them Mankind when they were created
● All souls are God's & the soul who sins will die
● By the spirit of God man is sustained in life
● Head/Christ/God, head/man/Christ, woman/man
● Sexual immorality is all outside a man and his wife
● Marriage is honorable, God will judge immoral lust
● Husbands love your wife & wives respect husband
● Men & women should pray without wrath & doubts
|
Mankind of woman exposes souls for God or self
● Older women should be teachers of good things
● Godly submissive wives assist in a husbands faith
● Quiet spirits adorned inwardly are precious to God
● A virtuous wife allows man's excellence to be man
● Godly women are actively wise speaking kindness
● Even one believing partner sanctifies a marriage
● Salvation is an act of unyielding faith for the better
● Women are to learn in respect for their husband
● Women / not to have authority in church over man
● In heaven no human marriage / all souls as angels
● A wise women's knowledge of redemption is for all
● God wills women not be contentious - labor/gospel
● Women of great faith educate the young
