The Christian Life: Remember

The Christian Life: Remember
Hebrews 12.5a

And have you completely forgotten
this word of encouragement
that addresses you as a father addresses his son?

            The problems and challenges that we encounter in life will be aggravated
            when we forget to view all of life through the lens of God’s Word.

                            

A. GOD’S WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

            1.  Encouragement

                            “comfort”  6.18

                            “exhortation”  13.22

            2.  Encouragement in the form of words

                            What’s our purpose in life?
                            What instruction are we given to achieve this purpose in life?
                            What is the Bible really about?

            3.  Encouragement from the Word of God

                            a.  God Himself speaks

                            b.  God’s Word from Proverbs

B. GOD’S WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT ADDRESSED TO SONS

            1.  To you TODAY

            2.  To YOU

            3.  To you as SONS  

C. GOD’S WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT OFTEN FORGOTTEN

            1.  We often forget our Bible

            2.  The Hebrews forgot their Bible

            3.  How can we remember
                            to look at all of life through the lens of God’s Word?
