"Jesus is greater than anyone and anything." - Larry Osborne 1/7/2018
A compilation of Sermons delivered to the Jews and captured as a book.
Observations______________________
3 Jesus is the exact representation of God.
5 Angels are amazing, but Jesus the Son is much more so.
7 Jesus is eternal
pay attention so that you do not drift away
King Uziah is an example of great start and failed ending. - Larry Osborn
Therefore - 3:7 Jewish persecution, keep forward and do t go back to prior ways,
Passage refers back to Psalm 95::7-11
Enter God's rest - the completion of God's plan for you.
11 .make every effort to enter God's rest vs disbelief= disobedience.
Make sure this does not happen to you...Clear and present danger.
How we fail
1 struggling with sin 2 defending my sin by making excuses 3 set up camp in my sin.
enter that rest so that no one will perish
Chris Brown 1-8
Larry Osborne 11-6:12

Discuss doctri e to create light, not heat...Larry Osborne
Our heats harden when 1 we decide God's way won't work. (Focus on short term results)
1 Cor 15:19 Gods plan is eternal
2 when I think God's word/plan is illogical
Proc 14:12 There is a way that looks logical to me but the end is death
3 when I fear missing out ( Eve feared missing out on knowledge)
4 when we think our situation is different.
(Uzziahs pride)
5 spiritual amnesia- forget what God has done in the past. I forget yesterday's miracles in today's crisis. 1Thes 5:18. Thanksgiving to God feeds our faith and starves our doubt.
We may build the sail but God provided the wind.
But. From your sins.
Melchisedek was revelation of Jesus as priest and King. He was greater than Abraham who gave tithes and offerings to him in worship.
- genuine Christians who have walked away...will not repent and turn to follow God (work of Holy Spirit compells us to repent)
Mark 3:22-30 - if you are teaching others that Jesus worked in the power of Satan, this is unforgivable sin.
It's time to grow up
it's not about how much we ...know
it's about how much we ... obey
Matt 5 ...you are. blessed if you do them
Prov 4:18 It starts with what you know.
Phil 3:12-16 It's a never ending process
Luke 8:4-14 A good start is no guarantee of a happy ending Hebrews 4
Matthew 20:1-16
2 Peter 3:9-10
It's never too late to get started.
.
Jesus greater than the old testament law
19-25 Jesus is better together
1 John 2:1-2 Jesus our advocate so I can be bold before
God.
spirituality is not measure by what we know and think. Love is the proof. 1 John 3:14
good peer pressure
10:26-31 Jesus is the only hope - Chris Brow
John 14:5
Mark 2:5-7
John 10:33
we feel hell is unfair and unjust
Book - Mark Clark - The Problem of God
God judges injustice because of his love.
Hell will be filled with people who defied their maker. He allows them to live out their choice for eternity.
2 Peter 3:10 God does will that any should suffer...
Jesus spoke more about hell than anyone else
Matt 5, 10, 13, 22, 25

i fear for the salvation of the one who does not fear for the salvation of others
10:32-39 Chris Brown
-don't forget
-endure
-you will receive the promise
- understand the cost of your salvation
- understand an urgency for the salvation of others
- understand how temporary this world is
- understand the riches and rewards of heaven.
Chris H
Abraham
Gen 12 Intrigued kind of
Gen 15 skeptical - prove it
Gen 16 Impatient - sins
Gen 17 Incredulous - move in faith
Gen 20 - fears world > God - sins
Gen 22 Abraham has tried iit his way and failed
Jesus >Abraham
Isaac - Jesus,
miraculous birth - virgin birth
only loved (1st time love in OT) son
sacrifice him,
moriah -Jerusalem, burnt offering - sin pmt in Jesus, 2 servants - 2 thieves, 3rd day - Jesus resurection, son carrying wood - Jesus carries cross, angel of lord, God provides ram - Jesus is resurrection lamb, fear - perfect love casts out fear,
to be better is to know God
Isaiah 6
His love becons, He simplifies and relates, He calls us to repent now
Chris Brown 1- therefore
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses...don't grow weary or lose heart
our motivation is Jesus - fix your eyes on him-
get rid of sin that entangles you, even great things
psalms - search me and try me
heb 11:13 - saints were longing for a better place
always chose Kingdom over Culture
Heb 12:4-13 Chris Brown
Prov 3:1-12
Gods discipline is not about our past but our future
Romans 7 - I dont do what i should - thanks be to God who has redee3me and so therefore there is no condemnation
Discipline is to train or teach, not punishment
It is preparation not punitive
discipline is the delivery of love
goals
holiness - be and love as God is and loves
peace - with God and others
Righteous- right effective living like Christ for the Kingdom
build, not break your child
iron sharpens iron but can damage if we dont focus on your childs purposes of the kingdom
14-17
Larry Osborne
Pursue peace...but I won't be able to be at peace with me
I won't let your actions determine my response
I choose peace for jerk bosses, so i can do it for Jesus
Put peace above fairness or saving face
Romans 12:18 if it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone
Prov 15:1 a gentle answer turns away wrath
if it is not gentle you won't have a chance of persuading
I Cor 13 - love keeps no record of wrongs. - don't keep score
Prov 19:11 - don't pursue fairness
Choose Jesus as greater than politics, preferences, opinion
Don't expect nonchristians to live like Christians
Titus 3:1-5 slander no one, to be peaceable, considerate always gentle to everyone
Pursue Holiness
- without it we can't see God
- no bitter root grows up to cause trouble or defile many - persinal rights turn to anger and bitterness
-no one is sexually immoral
-godless like Esau - making terrible choices trading eternal for earthly priorities
- must pursue
- be separated to God to serve Him
1 Peter 1:14-15
Eph 4:22-24 put off old self, be made new in the attitude of your minds, put on new self
1 Corinthians 6:11 don't be decieved
Takes a team effort - Heb 10 - spur each other on to growth
your relationship with God is personal but not private as a part of the body
- Godless choices have consequences
2 Samuel 12:9-14 David
-pursuit never ends. Phil 3:+2-15
2 Peter 1:8-11 posess in increasing measure.
faith,
goodness, (live to what you know)
knowledge,
self control, (James 1)
perseverance (long term self control)
godliness (self control becomes natural), mutual affection (pursue peace, love (sacrificial love)
Hebrews 13:4
Marriage shshould bbe honored bby alall..
Gen 2
God created male and from his side a female. They come together reunited as one.
purposes - reproduction, pleasure, bondibonding together a one flesh relationship, mirroring Gods love for his church.
sin is just going against God's plan and design
sin is our opposition to the word of God
Sin is ccreation rebelling against creator
we need to honor marriage, ours and theirs
we need to respect and honor the power of intimacy
we need to rely on the power of the cross
Application
- you don't have to worry about if you have committed the unpardonable sin, if you are worried about it.
purpose of ot law was to point to Jesus and
1-18 new covenant makes the old one obsolete and disappears
Matt 5 - standards raised
19-25
-draw near to God
-hope in God
-help each other to love and good deeds (action)
- Christianity is a team sport, one body 1 Cor 12:12-27, Rom 12:4-5
last supper...this is the new covenant
