by Larry Osborne
SOUND FAMILIAR? The High Price of Half-Hearted Obedience Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:6,11/ Judges 2:1-3/ Judges 3:5-9/ Deuteronomy 7:1-6 - They were God's people. - They'd been granted great promises. - They had crystal clear directions. - They made stupid choices based on foolish assumptions.- They paid a high price for a long time.

Back Where I Belong (3 of 4)
by James Merritt
1. How many of you have ever had at least one spanking in your life? How many of you remember the first spanking you ever got? I do. In fact, the first spanking may have been the worst one. 2. I was four years old. We were living in Tampa, Florida, and we went to church one Sunday and back in the day when you turned four years old you left pre-school and you went into big church, so I was going for my very first Sunday into big church. My dad looked at me and before we went in said, ''Son, do you need to go to the restroom?'' I said, ''No, Daddy. I don't need to go the restroom.'' He said, ''Okay. We will not be leaving after church...
Talking Donkeys (1 of 4)
by Kerry Shook
"When the donkey saw the angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat her with his staff. Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and she said to Balaam, 'What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?' Balaam answered the donkey, 'You have made a fool of me! If I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.' The donkey said to Balaam, 'Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?' 'No,' he said. Then the LORD opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the road with...
David: A Long Obedience in Seeking God
by John Barnett
As we open to Palm 18 this morning, I have been praying that maybe this Psalm will become the most meaningful and precious of all the Psalms we have studied. We walked through David's life for many months; from his childhood and all its struggles, through the triumphs of the battle field to the defeats of those unguarded moments-all through the inspired record God gave to us. The reason I have loved this study of David's life is because of the way God's grace is brought so visibly forward in David's life--the grace that saves, the grace that forgives, the grace that gives new beginnings each day and every hour. Especially when we gather...
God Blesses the Obedient (2 of 7)
by David Cawston
One of the first conditions to God's blessing is to be obedient to His commands. ''Most Christians are educated way beyond their level of obedience.'' - John Maxwell ''One step forward in obedience is worth years of study about it.'' - Oswald Chambers Part of the reason that we live below the blessing line is that we want to do things our way. Eugene Peterson in a book entitled ''A Long Obedience in the Same Direction'' writes, ''It is not difficult in our world to get a person interested in the message of the Gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest.... In our kind of culture anything, even news about God, can be sold...
The Devil Tried to Make Me Do It (5 of 16)
by Jeff Lynn
Last week we looked at the only narrative written by any of the gospel writers of the New Testament concerning the childhood of Jesus. We saw that when Jesus' parents found Him back in the Temple after having left Him in Jerusalem, thinking that He was with relatives or friends, Jesus asked them if they didn't know that He was supposed to be about His Father's business or in His Father's house. He's communicating to them that He has a mission and that His relationship with His Heavenly Father supersedes even His relationship with His earthly family. He is going to be doing what the Father is calling Him to do. As I said last week...
The Secret of Obedience
by Adrian Rogers
Turn with me to John chapter fourteen and I want us to begin reading tonight in chapter fourteen and we begin reading in verse fifteen. Jesus said if ye love me keep my commandments and I will pray the father and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with your forever, even the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not neither knoweth him, but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you, I will not leave you comfortless. Tonight I want to speak to you about the secret of obedience, do you have the topic in your mind, the secret of obedience. So many people are looking...
Steps to Obedience (4 of 13)
by Jerry Vines
We are looking at the highlights of these chapters. There is a great deal of information in Deuteronomy. I'm trying to put it together in about 12 messages for you. Tonight we are looking at chapters 6 and 7 which talk about the importance of doing God's Word and obeying God's will. You will recall that the book of Deuteronomy gives us a series of farewell messages from Moses, the man of God, the leader of the people of Israel. They are now on the border getting ready to go into the land of promise which God has given to them. Moses will not be going in with them, as we shall see. But now, he is preparing the hearts of the people...
Walking the Thin Line
by Daniel Rodgers
The main idea in this chapter is the pursuit of wisdom--spiritual wisdom (vs.7) 2. Solomon had this wisdom--God gave it to him as a gift...the wisdom to lead His people and to know how to be that spiritual man the Lord wanted him to be. a. According to God's Word, we, too, can have God's wisdom: James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. b. Let's be reminded that this wisdom of which Solomon writes, and the wisdom we seek, should always be for the purpose of knowing and understanding God better--a wisdom that once...
A Miracle of Obedience (9 of 16)
by Richard Bradley
Obedience can be a disconcerting word. That's because we don't always like to obey. We certainly didn't like it when we were kids. Back then we didn't have a choice. There was someone over us, namely a parent, who demanded our obedience and we knew our failure to obey would bring negative consequences. Now, as adults, the question of obedience is not always so simple. While intuitively we know we should be more obedient in certain areas of our lives we also know no one, other than God, is standing over us judging our level of obedience or disobedience. Are there still negative consequences to our disobedience? I believe there...
Teaching Obedience to the Next Generation
by Scott Maze
Today, I want to speak to parents and grandparents on raising children who have stalwart character all their lives. Let's look at one of most interesting kings of ancient Israel, King Saul. Today's Scripture The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 ''I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments.'' And Samuel was angry, and he cried to the Lord all night. 12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, ''Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself and turned and passed on and went down to Gilgal.'...
The Believer and Obedience to God (3 of 5)
by Josh Malone
We are in a series in 1 John called Rest Assured: Being Certain of Your Salvation. We are looking at how 1 John shows believers they can know they are in fact genuinely saved Having been in the ministry several years I have encountered lots of believers battling doubt. At the same time, some people doubt... because they are not genuinely born again. 1 John is a book that can help us sort through all of that and gain assurance or to discover real faith in Christ. Last week we talked about how the believer relates to sin. The believer admits their sin, we know we are sinners, at the same time the believer hates and turns from sin. We have...
Obedience To God
by Kenneth Boa
Along with the costs of leadership come many opportunities - some positive, some negative. Many leaders have access to information or financial resources that they could use to their personal advantage. Others travel widely and almost anonymously, and have ample opportunity to compromise their purity. Still others may be tempted to use their position to unethically crush the competition - whether internal or external. Whether the temptation is about money, sex or power, many leaders sell themselves out. We read about the higher profile cases on the newspaper headlines every day. The television show "Fear Factor" is based on the idea that everyone has a price. If the price is...
Obedience Rewarded
by Charles H. Spurgeon
These holy women, those consecrated Marys, shall be our instructors tonight. They were highly favored to be the first witnesses for our risen Lord. Do you wonder why He chose them? Was it because their hearts were tender, and they were very sad at His death, more sad than the men? And is it not His wont to come first to those who need Him most and to pour in oil and wine where the wound gapes widest? It may be so. Was it because they had been the more faithful of the two, and while some men had denied Him, and all had forsaken Him, the women were last at Golgotha, as they were now first at the sepulcher? Did their...
Messiah's Obedience
by Stephen Whitney
Frank Sinatra (d. 1988) was one of America's most popular musical entertainers for more than 50 years beginning in the 1940's. He is perhaps best known for the song ''My Way.''And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain?My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each and every highway?But more, much more than this I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few but then again, too few to mention?I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course each careful step along the byway?And more, much more than this I did it...
Predestination and Obedience (3 of 4)
by Eddie Snipes
Another misconception about God's preordained plan is that man's will is removed or is irrelevant. This assumption can only survive if we exclude all of the commandments of God. We cannot nullify the commandments and instructions of God and any doctrine that attempts to do so is false teaching. I once had a conversation with a man who was involved in a very immoral lifestyle. He claimed to be a Calvinist and stated that man had no free will. He stated that his will could not change unless God willed it. It was God's fault that he was acting out sin and the only way to escape sin was for God to will him to quit. This statement is both...
Obedience Stage! (1 of 6)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: The very first lessons of life are those that involve OBEDIENCE! Some of the first things we teach our child include their need to obey us! ILLUS: One evening my husband, Mark, and our preschooler, Krystal, were on the couch chatting. ''Daddy, you're the boss of the house, right?'' I overheard her ask sweetly. My husband proudly replied, ''Yes, I'm the boss of the house.''But Krystal quickly burst his bubble when she added, ''Cause Mommy put you in charge, huh Daddy?'' -- Rhonda Mony, Lake Elsinore, California. Christian Reader, ''Kids of the Kingdom.''This is also true in nature, most baby animals by instinct learn the...
The Test of Obedience (2 of 14)
by Robert Dawson
Did you ever find yourself sitting in class at school looking out the window daydreaming while the teacher waxed eloquent about some important subject, like the quadratic equation, that was vitally important to your success in life and then in the middle of the lecture call your name and say, 'Robert, are you listening?' To which you responded, 'Oh, yes ma'am.' To which she would follow up and ask, 'Do you understand what we are talking about?' To which you would again respond 'yes ma'am I've got it.' Not realizing that she has ways of finding out if you were really listening and paying attention. She has ways of finding out if you really...
