Series: Training In The Word
Title: "Why Bother?"
Speaker: Jim Hammond
I. Your SHAPE is your choice:
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
II. Don't expect SPECTACULAR results with MEDIOCRE training
Luke 6:40
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
III. Take BABY steps
1 Peter 2:2
“Like newborn infants, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow up into your salvation,”
ATTITUDE - I need this!
APPETITE - I want this!
AIM - I’ll grow from this!
Psalms 19:7-10
The instruction of the Lord is perfect, renewing one's life; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise. The precepts of the Lord are right, making the heart glad; the command of the Lord is radiant, making the eyes light up. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous. They are more desirable than gold — than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.
