"Straight Ahead" Message 12-1-19
Speaker: Lead Pastor, Ernie Jaurique
Point: Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been. (O. Chambers)
Scripture: Exodus 23:20-22 (23-33); Ecc. 5:1-2; Heb. 12:1-2
Questions:
1. Why is it hard to take the time to really listen to instructions? How does listening better lead us to doing better?
2. Read Ex. 23:20. How can a Christian, someone who claims to be a follower of Jesus, end up in places God never wanted them to end up?
3. Read Ex. 23:21-22.How is truly honoring “the Name of God” in your life a great compass for life?
4. Read Heb. 12:1-2. How is thankfulness for the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ the best way to re-center our lives when it is out of center?
5. Read Ecc. 5:1-2. Why should we practice silence when reading God’s word? How can you be better at “paying careful attention” to how God would lead, guide, and direct your life?
