PM (PART TWO)
God’s Pattern For Christian Living
Hebrews 11:32-34 (Judges 6 and 7)
We often amuse ourselves with the things that break Christ heart. We need to learn God’s Pattern For Christian Living.
I. Our Daily Walk Psalm 100:1, 2 and 4
1.) A Walk Of Joy
Psalm 100:1 “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.”
2.) A Walk Of Service Psalm 100:2
“Serve the LORD with gladness:” The best argument for Christianity and the best argument against Christianity is the life of a Christian. Not only are we to be His witnesses; we ought to be part of the evidence. A Good Question ”“What have you done today that nobody, but a Christian would do?" Ask this question of yourself. What would be your answer?
3.) A Walk Of Song Psalm 100:2
“... come before His presence with singing.” Psalm 40:3
4.) A Walk Of Worship Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless his name.
5.) A Walk Of Thanksgiving Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him and bless his name.
