Sermon Notes

Becoming a good servant of Christ Jesus...continued...

I. Guiding Principle #1: Live as if you are the example of Christianity.

The detail of age...magic number in Ephesus = 40 years old.

Robert M'Cheyne - "My people's greatest need is my personal holiness."

II. Guiding Principle #2: Be committed to the preaching and teaching of God's Word.

Applications:
1. The call to commitment is both in physical attendance and mental engagement.
2. Be careful not to overly individualize Bible engagement.
3. Place yourself where truth is presented correctly, not tickling of ears.
4. Find your affections stirred when God's Word is opened.
