                                                                                 RESOURCES                                                              2-17-19
I.      CONFIDENCE IN THE WORD OF GOD.
        A.  Jesus in Synagogue at Nazareth                                                        Luke 4:18-9; 25-27, I King 17:8-16,                     
                                                                                                                                          2 Kings 5:1-15
Isaiah 61:1-2  (NKJV)  “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to  heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; ² To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,”
 
 
        B.  Misuse of Scripture
 
John 5:39-40  (NKJV)³⁹ You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. ⁴⁰ But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. ⁴⁶ For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me.

 Deuteronomy 17:19  (NKJV) ¹⁹ And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes,

Matthew 15:1-4  (NKJV) 15 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, ² “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” ³ He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’

 
        C.  Word Not To Be Changed                                                                  John 19:28

  Matthew 5:17-20  (NKJV) ¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one ^[a]jot or one ^[b]tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Luke 24:27  (NKJV) ²⁷ And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He ^[a]expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. ³² And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”
 
II.     WE NEED A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD
John 17:17  (NKJV)  Sanctify  them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
2 Timothy 2:15  (NKJV) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
 
        A.  Observation-What does it say?  What is the actual context in the text?
 
        B.  Interpretation-What does it mean?  We are to discover the original intent and meaning of the author.
 
        C.  Application-What does it mean to me?  How does it apply to my life?
III.    OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD.
John 4:34  (NKJV)  Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
John 6:38  (NKJV)  For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
John 17:4  (NKJV)  I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
 
        A.  Know and Study
2 Timothy 3:16-17  (NKJV) ¹⁶ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ^[a]instruction in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 
        B.  Live by the Word
James 1:22  (NKJV)  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
 
        C.  Don’t leave home without it                                                
Psalm 119:9-11  (NKJV)  How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to your  word.
With my whole heart I have sought You;  Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!  Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
 
Joshua 1:8 (NKJV) ⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
