     | 6,082 views

    A look at both the discouragement that comes when you're doing what's right without reward and the danger that comes when you're doing what's wrong without consequences.

    WHY DO WHAT'S RIGHT? 1.

We begin to become callous. - There is a fear that first time that abates a little each time ...read more

    The rewards of serving God are a righteous life with him. God rewards prayer, giving, and seeking him (fasting). Seeking rewards without seeking God misses God's best.

    - Do we live with the knowledge that God knows what He’s doing? From creation to this moment, God has been preparing us for redemption because what is to come is God’s wrath for our disobedience, because His holiness demands it. However, His grace provides a way through (or out of) it.

    This passage of scripture presents us with three things, faith, rewards and duty. If we forget about the sin warning that Jesus gives to us in this scripture, then our ingredients for true discipleship will be incomplete.

    To be a true disciple of Christ, to be assured of eternal life, we must never be ashamed to confess His holy name. We must also be willing to follow Him always, forsaking our own desires and even our family and friends.

    I have entitled our message, “Jesus Before All Else.” Author Mike Mazzalongo wrote a book entitled Jesus Above All Else. He says that Jesus told His followers, “in no uncertain terms, that in order to be His disciple they must place Him above all else.” He explains that “above all else” means ...read more
