Exodus 31:1-6

NOT TRIVIAL

I have a Bible trivia question for you. Without looking at our text, who was Bezaleel?

You were probably stumped, because Bezaleel is probably one of the more obscure Bible characters. Although Bezaleel provides a great question for the next Bible Trivia quiz you are required to write, the importance of Bezaleel and the impact that he had were not trivial at all.

Bezaleel was responsible for the construction of all the things involved in the worship that took place in the tabernacle, including the ark, the mercy seat, the tabernacle furniture, candlesticks, the altar, and the high priest's garments. See Exodus 31:7-11. Bezaleel also shows us how God can use people who may feel obscure.

HE WAS SELECTED - Vss. 1-2

God had a plan for his life. He was selected "by name" for a very important task.

God has a specific plan for the life of each Christian.

God has something for each one of us to do. Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 5:15-17, 1 Peter 4:11

HE WAS SKILLED - Vss. 3-5

God had made this man skilled in a number of areas.

God has given at least one Spiritual Gift to each Christian. Ephesians 4:11-12, 1 Peter 4:10, 1 Corinthians 12:1-7, Romans 12:3-8

HE WAS SUPPORTED - Vs. 6

There were other gifted people who were to work along with Bezaleel.

There was a partnership formed to get the job done.

The church is viewed as a body. For a body to work well, each part of the body needs to function. Pastors and missionaries need other gifted people to work along with them in order for the church to reach its full potential. 1 Corinthians 12:13-27

*********************************************************

2 Samuel 11

IT'S SO EASY

David, who was a man after God's heart, sinned on many occasions. The most grievous of his sins was probably his affair with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah. David found out just how easy it is to sin and to displease God.

IT'S EASY TO BE LAZY - Vs. 1

Instead of going off to war with his soldiers, David stayed home. He was lax in his responsibilities.

One of the great problems we have as Christians is that we get lazy in our commitments to the Lord. If we do not continue to fight the world, the flesh, and the Devil, we become lazy. 1 Peter 5:8, Matthew 22:37-40, Ephesians 6:10-11

When we are lazy, we are more susceptible to giving in to temptation.

IT'S EASY TO LUST - Vs. 2

I think of lust as natural desire taken to the extreme. We have healthy natural desires, but when they control us, they lead to lust. 1 John 2:15-16, Matthew 5:27-28

IT'S EASY TO LET GO - Vss. 3-4

Lust in the heart is sin, but it also leads to the actual act of sin.

Instead of resisting sin, David let go of any control he had and committed adultery.

It's easy for us to give in to our lusts as well. When we do, it leads to trouble. James 1:13-15

IT'S EASY TO LOOK OUT FOR #1 - Vss. 8-27

David was looking to cover up his sin. As a result, he tried to make it look like Uriah had gotten his wife pregnant. Uriah never went down to his wife when he came home from the battle.

David then had Uriah murdered so that he could marry Bathsheba and make the whole thing look legitimate.

We are capable of doing some pretty low things to keep others from discovering our sins.

IT'S EASY TO LIVE A LIE

David pretended to be living right, when in reality he was living in sin.

Many Christians pretend to be godly when they are not.

It is important to note that in all of this God was displeased. Vs. 27

*********************************************************

Proverbs 24:30-34

FIELD TRIP

The author of Proverbs visited a field owned by a lazy man.

CHARACTER OF THE MAN - Vs. 30 - SLOTHFUL, VOID OF UNDERSTANDING

CONDITION OF HIS AFFAIRS - Vs. 31 - A MESS

CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER - Vss. 32-34 - LAZY PEOPLE DO NOT PROSPER

*********************************************************

Matthew 7:21-27

ADVICE TO HEED

Jesus is concluding the Sermon on the Mount.

He gives us some sobering advice that we must heed.

A SCARY WARNING - Vss. 21-23

Not everyone that calls Jesus Lord is going to Heaven! Vs. 21

Those who would enter Heaven must do the will of the Father. Vs. 21

The primary thing a person must do is to place his faith in the Son of God for salvation. Acts 4:12, John 3:36

There will be those who will claim to have done great things in the name of Jesus, but will be rejected. Vss. 22-23

A SECURE FOUNDATION - Vss. 24-25

The person who hears Jesus' words and does them in the one whom is building on a foundation that will keep him through any trial or judgment.

A SHAKY FOUNDATION - Vss. 26-27

The person who hears Jesus words and does not do them is building on a foundation that will wash away during trials and judgment.

Sermon Seeds C29

*********************************************************

John 14:1-20

BLESSED ASSURANCE

In the Upper Room, just before his arrest, trial, and crucifixion our Lord took time to give the troubled disciples some blessed assurance.

ASSURANCE CONCERNING THE FUTURE Vss. 1-6

Jesus was going to Heaven to prepare a place for them (and us).

He will return for his followers.

He alone is the way to Heaven.

ASSURANCE CONCERNING THE FATHER Vss. 8-11

Because the disciples had seen Jesus, they had seen the Father.

Jesus is God in the flesh.

ASSURANCE CONCERNING OUR FAITHFULNESS Vss. 12-15

Prayer - Vss. 13-14

Practice - Vs. 15 (If we love Him, we will obey Him.)
