Sermon Notes:
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE
Genesis 1:26-28 dominion = supreme authority to rule
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[a] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Psalm 8:4-8 vs 6 – you have made him to have dominion over creation
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[a]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[a]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
Romans 8:21-22 all creation waits
; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
Genesis 18:19
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Joshua 24:15
But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
Song: As for Me
Vs 1 – building my own kingdom
Seeking worthless idols
Idol = setting your affections on worldly things to the point you have a twisted image of right & wrong, life & death
What we should do:
Colossians 3:2
#1 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
I John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
#2 – Hate what God hates
Proverbs 6:16-19
Arrogance, lying, innocent people being hurt, harmful schemes, evil practices, telling lies about others that stir up dissension among people
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.
Character is in part formed by what we hate.
#3 – Live the resurrected life
Ephesians 3:20
We are not to live a crucified life; we are to live a resurrected life. I am alive with Christ.
II Peter 1:4
by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
I am forgiven
I am His workmanship
There is no condemnation
I am in right standing with God
I can do all things through Christ
I am more than a conqueror
I am blessed with all spiritual blessings
I am delivered from the power of darkness
I am a son of God
By Jesus’ stripes I’m healed
