In this lesson we will look at four character lessons from the life of Moses. He 1) Shunned Sin, 2) Practiced Patience, 3) Erred in Excuses, and 4) Manifested Meekness. Each should have more knowledge of Moses and his character. This lesson seeks to help all understand more about Moses character and the example he sets for us today.
We enter God's gates with thanksgiving because 1) thanksgiving is the only appropriate response for what God has done for us, 2) thanksgiving brings about a change of attitude in our lives, 3) thanksgiving spurs us into action for the welfare and benefit of others. The hearer should be able to state why he ought to have a heart of thanksgiving and how that relates to Christian living.
The Bible teaches us some specific things NOT to envy. In this lesson we will note that we ought not to envy 1) the man of violence, 2) the arrogant, 3) the unrighteous and sinner. I want the hearer to be able to know that God has specifically forbidden envy of certain things. We are to avoid envy and especially envy of these specific things.
When the reformers, who eventually ended up creating the Protestant movement, withdrew from the Catholic church, they also renounced Catholic tradition as a source of authority for religious practices. In its place, they demanded that things be settled "sola scriptura" with scripture only.
In this lesson, we will look at what it means to be a friend of God. One is God's friend when he 1) Loves God with all his heart, soul, and mind, 2) Does what God wants him to do simply because God has asked us to do it, 3) Tells others about what a great friend God is. Each hearer should be able to understand what it takes to be a friend of God. I want everyone to be motivated to make God their friend.
