9.8.24 - At the Movies (Week 3)
Part of "At the Movies" (Message Notes)
September 6, 2024
In the evening, I went very unwillingly to a society in Aldersgate Street, where one was reading
Luther’s preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine, while he was
describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart
strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was
given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and
death. –John Wesley Journal entry May, 24 1738 (“Aldersgate Day”)
Matthew 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight. [a]
Matthew 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 6:45
45 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings
evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Exodus 2:11-12
11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched
them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking
this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 7:3, 13
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt, 4 he
will not listen to you.
13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out
why.” – Mark Twain
Hebrews 11:24-25
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s
daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the
fleeting pleasures of sin.
