Obey Why (20 of 35)
Series: Obey Everything
Steve Jones
Matthew 7:24-26
SERMON SUMMARY: This sermon addresses Jesus' command to build your life on the solid rock of his teachings. We look at the ''Why'' of ''Obey Everything'' under three headings. 1) Because Jesus has the authority. 2) Because obedience lays a foundation. 3) Because the ''storm'' is coming.
INTRODUCTION: How many of you are the OLDER sibling in your family. When your parents left to go out and they left YOU in charge and you told your little brother or sister what to do - and they didn't want to do it - what did they say to you? ''You're not the BOSS. I don't have to do what you say!''
The theme song to a popular television series from twenty years ago (Malcolm in the Middle premiered in January 2000) included these lyrics: ''You're not the boss of me now, you're not the boss of me now, you're not the boss of me now and you're not so big.''
The thesis of this sermon series has been ''obey everything'' that Jesus commanded. But WHY do we need to obey everything Jesus commanded? Why can't a man or a woman just say to Jesus, ''You're not the boss of me!'' Actually, a lot of people DO say that, but it might not be a good idea as we shall see. WHY OBEY EVERYTHING?
I. BECAUSE JESUS HAS THE AUTHORITY
Mt.7:24,26 ''Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys it is wise...Anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey it is foolish''
Even the way Jesus TALKS exudes authority. I don't talk that way. I don't come up here every Sunday and say, ''Listen up church. I'm about to tell you what to do, how to think, how to act, how to VOTE, and you would be WISE to pay attention (if you know what's good for you.). If you do NOT do what I tell you to do, you're a fool.'' I don't do that. I have to qualify what I say with all kinds of ''weasel words.'' For instance, I'll say, ''If I understand what the Bible is teaching here then blah, blah, blah.'' ''I might be wrong about this but ...
