THE DETAILS WE TEND TO OVERLOOK
The Truth About Obedience And 2nd Chances

1. Obedience doesn't guarantee success.
Judges 1:2 and 19/ Psalm 73/ 1 Peter 4:12-19
- Just because it's hard, doesn't mean God's not working.

2. Knowing God makes disobedience worse not better.
Hebrews 12:5-11/ Judges 1:28-2:5/ Matthew 5:29-30

- Partial obedience is not obedience.

- We can't resist what we're supposed to flee.

3. Forgiveness doesn't fix everything.
2 Samuel 12:13 and 12:9-14/ Jeremiah 18:1-10/ Judges 2:3 and 20-21

- God's Plan A is always better than Plan B.

-Second chances can and will run out.
