LIFE - Sermon 34 LAST WEEK'S LIFE POINT: If you are focused on short term benefits you might miss long term rewards. Life Point 1: When you are who you are you are supposed to be, at times, things can become more difficult. Why would you choose this? 1. It's the only path of promised rewards. 2. It's the only path of promised help. 3. It's the only path of prepared future. Gen. 39:7-9 John 3:36 John 5:24 1 John 5:12 Mistakes made in trials: 1. We compare our trouble/trials to others. 2. We look only for the end of the trial/trouble (not the work God is doing in and through it). 3. We fixate on comfort and not Christ. 4. We are infatuated with the temporal (and lose sight of the eternal). Life Point 2: When you are struggling against temptation, you must be fixated on Christ to see victory. James 1:12-15 Gen. 39-10-12 James 4:5-10
