Jesus + Nothing: week 4
June 23, 2024

(Colossians 2:4-5) I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.

(Colossians 2:6-7) And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

(Proverbs 27:15) A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.

Isaiah 59:19(NKJV) When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

(Ephesians 4:14-15) Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

(Matthew 7:24-27) “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

Spend time in God’s Word

(Matthew 7:24) “Anyone who listens to my teaching…”

Romans 10:17(ESV) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Spending time in prayer

(Matthew 6:6) But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

(1 Corinthians 14:4) A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

Allow yourself to be corrected

(John 15:2) He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.

Serve

(James 1:22) But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.

(Matthew 7:24) Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise
