I am preaching this weekend on living with a brave heart. Here are a couple of early thoughts on this weekend’s text.
· Jesus can still draw a crowd.
· It is disappointing when people hurt each other in their pursuit of God.
· There are things we need to actively push away from our hearts.
· A little hypocrisy can go a long way and will grow if left unchecked. This is a slow, constant process that can dig deep within.
· Jesus would rather have a blunt sinner than someone who puts on the act of godliness.
· There are no secrets. God will reveal all. Do not deceive. Do not lie.
· Your heart will be revealed. Make sure you keep it pure.
· The goal is not the appearance of good. The goal is to be good.
· Live for eternity.
· Be brave: respect and follow the Lord no matter what the consequences.
· Faith in the Lord takes courage.
· We all choose either to fear man or fear God.
· We will serve who we most fear.
· Man’s power over you is limited. God’s power is unlimited.
· Man’s care for you is limited. God’s care is unlimited.
· The Lord cares about the details of His creation.
· He knows things about you that you do not even know.
· God knows about the pain you will go through because of your faith in Him. He lets you go through this for something much better.
· The Lord loves you greatly. You are of great value to him.
· Let others know that you are a follower of Jesus. Do not be afraid or ashamed. If you do this Jesus will remember this in eternity.
· If you disown Jesus he will remember this as well.
· If you continually ignore the Spirit of truth in your heart you will lose your bearings in life. This will lead to destruction.
· The Holy Sprit will guide you through the trials of this life.
