The Rodeo

David Cook gave this talk on Matthew 7:1-6.

• 7:1-6 – Resist Pride:

• Do not be judgemental
• Pride in our mortality forgets the grace of God
• Don’t think you can’t judge anything – but be discrning as to what is important and should be judged.
• Pride is an aggressive cancer of the soul.

7:7-12 – The Alternatives:

• Realise you are poor in spirit
• The early church realised they couldn’t bring anything to God. Now we bring what we think we know.
• Human pride is repulsive to God (think along the lines of magnets with the same polarity – they can’t join together. Spin one ’round and… snap!)

• 7:13-23 – The Two Ways:

• Two gates, two roads, two men… two of everything

7:24-27:

• Pride of the pharisee is the worst kind.
• It’s hard to listen when we’ve heard it all before.

7:24-25 – The Rock:

• 7:26 – The Sand:

• 7:24, 26 – The Difference:

• To be a Christian is to have lost control to Jesus.

Do?

• The Lord’s Prayer is the core of the sermon

• Be passionate about God’s honour
• Be dependant on God for physical and spiritual sustenance
• Be careful

One other thing I noted, but can’t remember exactly what it referred to is the following:

Love is spelt:

• T-A-L-K for your wife
• T-I-M-E for your kids
