DON’T STEAL FROM GOD’S CV!

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 2

WHAT IS ON GOD’S CV? WHAT IS ON GOD’S RESUME? WHAT IS GOD’S CHARACTER? SHOULD OUR CV BE THE SAME AS GOD’S?

Spring Break has reached the Houston area – plus Sunday, March 8 was Daylight Savings Time. So, Mark Lanier decided not to continue in the Romans series. Instead, he is expanding a little on last week’s lesson in the Psalms, where he ended talking about God’s Curriculum Vitae – or CV. God’s character.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

YOUR NAME AS YOUR CV

Yesterday, Mark explained what “name” means in English and Hebrew and the importance of a title.

What information is usually included on a resume?

Can a resume accurately portray a person’s character or personality?

How does knowing God’s character help us understand His history? (Psalm 9:10)

Can God’s character help us as we travel our own path? (Psalm 23:3; Isaiah 48:9-11; Ezekiel 36:22-23; Ezekiel 20:9,14,22)

THE REBUILD THAT MATTERS MOST

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 2

THE REBUILDING OF THE WALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED – NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS!

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues with his sermon series entitled NEXT, which is focusing on the life of Nehemiah, who’s bold faith and trust in God led the people to do amazing things for the sake of the Gospel.

This week, Pastor Jarrett looks at what happened AFTER the Israelites rebuilt the wall. They had to rebuild their faith!

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 8-10

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO THE WORD OF GOD (Nehemiah 8:9-13)

Why is it important to not only read the Word of God, but to also understand it? Pastor Jarrett shares the best piece of preaching advice he’s even been given.

How do we rebuild our lives spiritually? Can reading Scripture help? (Jeremiah 23:29; Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 19)

Does the enemy (Satan) want to keep us busy and distract us? Does this strategy really work to keep us away from God? Pastor Jarrett encourages us to take an inventory of our lives and examine what is keeping us from the Lord.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being present in my life today and every day.

Thank you for carrying me for so long and for so far.

There have been times my heart has been overwhelmed by your closeness and there have been times I felt all alone.

Looking back, Lord, you have always been by my side.

Forgive me for the times I broke your heart and made you cry.

Today, hold me close, Father.

Forgive me, provide for me, and guide my every step.

May I not run ahead of your timing.

May my plans be your plans. May my ways be your ways. May your will – not mine – be done in my life.

O God, guide me with your strong arm. Fill me with your Holy Spirit.

Let the light of Jesus shine through me, for it is in his name I pray,

Amen
