Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide (5 of 5)
Series: Stupid Things Even Christians Believe
Jeff Strite
Mark 15:8-16
OPEN: This is the final week of our series: ''Stupid things even Christians believe. This week we're focusing on an old piece of advice:
''Let your conscience be your guide.''
Have you ever heard that said?
Of course, we all have.
At the core of this proverb is the idea that our consciences will never be wrong.
The problem is - that's not always so.
To help illustrate me lay the groundwork for this sermon, I'd like to play a clip from Mark Lowry describing a movie he saw about Jesus when he was four.

The man who'd fed 1000s with a little boy's lunch.
The man who'd healed the sick, the lame, the leprous and the blind.
The man who'd raised the dead.
With Him as King… no power on earth could stand against Israel.
He was the KING of Israel, the POWER of God, the LEADER who would deliver them from Rome. And to honor Him, the people spread Palm branches before Him.
John 12:13 tells us they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, shouting: ''Hosanna! 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD!' The King of Israel!''
Hosanna… Hosanna… Hosanna.
Hosanna meant ''Lord, save us.''
The people believed that Jesus was sent by God to be their deliverer and for a few days they thanked God and sang His praises. Because they truly believed this man was their deliverance.
