Hebrews 4:2 PRMS
We heard the exact same message of God’s grace found in Christ as they did, but because they didn't receive it by faith, it did them absolutely no good.
Point #1 Condemnation Conversations
Point #2 - The speck & The Beam
Matthew 7:3-5 NET
Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own? 5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:1-2 NIV
Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
2 Corinthians 3:7-9 NIV
Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!
Point #3 - The Two Voices
James 1:22-25 NIV
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
James 1:23
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror
James 1:24
and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
James 1:25
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
