Scripture: II Corinthians 10:3-5; Isaiah 6

Topic: : Grace

Notes:- We listen to arguments against God's plan for us and live defeated- The grace of God tells us He will give us His holiness- Holiness is a gift from God; we cannot work hard enough to gain it- He gives the will and the power to overcome- We aren't equipped to recognize and refute devil's lies- Lies: 1. You'll never be free. 2. Have to work harder. 3. you're a phony Christian- Devil brings up old sins, but if you're saved, you don't have a past.- We have predispositions towards sin, but it's to power of the blood- Must surrender to have victory- His mercy is everlasting. You will stumble; get back up.- You aren't a blasphemer of the Holy Spirit if you still have desire- Trust Jesus to give victory, righteousness, peace, power

Scripture: Hebrews 8:1-6; II Chronicles 26

Topic: : Grace

Notes:- We only deserve hell by our own deeds; through Jesus reconciliation- Uzziah prospered as long as he sought the Lord- Uzziah became prideful, entered temple to burn incense, bypassing the high priest; stricken with leprosy- Pride has a subtle, scheming way of entering our walk with God- God resists the proud; pride comes before a fall- The American church teaches people to have pride- After we've done all we are to do, we've done only our basic duty... we are unprofitable servants- We're never made worthy by what we do; cannot be our own priest- Come boldly with confidence in Jesus, not in ourselves- We cannot do all we're supposed to; need Jesus to represent us- We need brokenness, humility, repentance- Remember what He's done for us, not what we've done for Him

Notes:- There's a deep dissatisfaction when you cannot complete something- Josiah took throne at age 8: behaved at 8, sought the Lord at 16, to purge & purify nation at 20, after social justice at 26... didn't know the Word of God- You cannot gain a biblical world view unless you know the Bible- You are not who you think you are- There are no spare parts, everything is necessary- Many sermons are high on motivation, low on facts- We settle for carnality, thinking it's spirituality- Add to your faith moral excellence (purify life), knowledge, faith (to see it as God says it is)- Develop strategies to help me live with Him- People start with worship but don't know who they're worshipping- Cannot raise up a godly generation with knowledge of the Word- It's not enough to have kids that behave; they're getting slaughtered without knowing God's word- Mountain Jack on Mt. Saint Helens

Notes:- Story of man who lived along river, flood, trusted God/missed help- God is speaking but we don't know how to listen- 7 problems we have hearing God: we want God to speak on our terms, we're self-centered, we aren't committed to obey, we want benefits without responsibility, preconceived notions, we want His words to serve our purpose, we want unlimited chances to ignore His word- We don't have a picture of Jesus' life, but snapshots- Matthew: words of Jesus, Mark: works of Jesus, Luke: chronology, John: conflict- Belief is when I change my life to conform to what God says is true- Story of man with gout; we hear what we want to hear- The way to get there is to go through it- Walk with God or be afraid
