Solid "Food For Thought"

DateSunday, March 25, 2012 at 6:00PM

Speaker: Toby Soechting

Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-16; Hebrews 5:12-6:1

INTRODUCTION:
  1. As we encounter problems in life we will either slowly but surely overcome them, or we will slowly but surely fail to grow.
  2. A person does not have to be perfect to grow into the image of Jesus Christ, but that person does have to be conscientious.
  3. The Hebrews writer rebuked some of his brethren for needing milk instead of solid food (Heb. 5:12).
DISCUSSION:
I. AM  I  A TEACHER? (Heb. 5:12)
  1. We owe a debt we cannot pay.  We possess the gospel and owe it to the “world” to teach it!
  2. We should at least be teaching ourselves!
II. AM I WORKING OVERTIME TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF PURITY?
  1. My actions are the result of my attitudes.
  2. Is my mind meditating on the proper things? (Phil. 4:8-9)
III. AM I AWARE OF MY TONGUE?
  1. Let us pursue peace… (Rom. 14:19).
  2. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life… (Prov. 15:4).
IV. AM I AWARE OF OTHERS?
  1. Extending love to the unlovely?
  2. Bearing others burdens?
V. AM I IN MY “RIGHT” MIND?
  1. Do I possess the mind of Christ?
  2. One body and one mind? (Phil. 2:2)
Conclusion:  Jesus, and the life I live for Him, is worthy of my every consideration.

  2. Am I longsuffering?
  3. Am I kind (cf. Eph. 4:32)?
  4. Is good a word that describes me?

II.     IN MY PERCEPTION OF AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS SELF (V. 23)?
