Trusting the Creator of the Family

    May 17, 2015

    Passage:Proverbs 3:5-8

    Preacher: Rick Blackwell

    Detail:

    Trusting the Creator of the Family

    Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV

    (5)  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

    (6)  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

    (7)  Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.

    (8)  It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

    Proverbs 14:12 ESV

    (12)  There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

    Proverbs 16:25 ESV

    (25)  There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

    Joshua 24:14-15 ESV

    (14)  "Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

    (15)  And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

    Trusting God in Real Time in Real Life…………

    1. Husbands and fathers……

    Ephesians 5:21 ESV

    (21)  submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

     Ephesians 5:25 ESV

    (25)  Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

     Ephesians 6:4 ESV

    (4)  Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

    1. Wives and mothers…………

     Ephesians 5:21-24 ESV

    (21)  submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

    (22)  Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

    (23)  For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

    (24)  Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

     Proverbs 1:8 ESV

    (8)  Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,

    2 Timothy 1:5 ESV

    (5)  I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.

    2 Timothy 1:5 KJV

    (5)  When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

    1. Children………….

     ephesians 6:1-3 ESV

    (1)  Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

    (2)  "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise),

    (3)  "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land."

     And all of us should heed the example of the faithful Centurion……

    Matthew 8:5-13 ESV

    (5)  When he had entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to him, appealing to him,

    (6)  "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly."

    (7)  And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."

    (8)  But the centurion replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.

    (9)  For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."

    (10)  When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.

    (11)  I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

    (12)  while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

    (13)  And to the centurion Jesus said, "Go; let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed at that very moment.

    The key to true freedom, joy and righteousness is to accept and obey all God-Ordained authority and directions……..We must trust the Creator!
