Promises

Last week, we looked at “Resolutions. We talked about not purposefully making resolutions we know we won’t keep. Saying one thing and doing another hurts our reputation, and all Christ-followers should have a good reputation. I pray that we all seek to apply our three points from last week’s message: Resolve to Recognize the LORD Resolve to Know the LORD Resolve to Listen to the LORD Today, we will talk about Promises. Much like Resolutions, Promises are often made but rarely kept. In the church, this shouldn’t be. Our newest Sponsored Missionary, Justin Barthelmes, will join us and share Point Two of the message today. Please welcome him, his wife, Holly, and their little girl Harper Ann to PFBC. Our message is titled: “Making Your Yes Be Yes and Your No Be No:? Promises” Our points will be: Don’t Offer the Sacrifice of Fools Making Your Yes Be Yes Stand in Awe of God Main Scripture: Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 Supporting Texts: Matthew 16:22-23, 2 Chronicles 7:11-12, Acts 15:8 Romans 1:20, Isaiah 46:10, Hebrews 12:28-29 Diving Deeper: After listening to today's message, consider asking yourself the following questions: Explain why “The Sacrifice of Fools” is foolish. Why is trying to mislead God a bad idea? Were you encouraged by Justin’s testimony? Explain. Are you “quick with your mouth” when you come before the LORD? If so, what needs to change? How can you “Stand in Awe of God” in your day-to-day life?
