Charlie's Challenge 5.21.23

  Charlie’s Challenges: Extras from the sermon and links for additional information

Why are we here?  To Reign in Life


Memory verse:   For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17


A diagnosis and a cure are not the same thing.  How does the Law serve to diagnose our problem with sin?  Why could it never be the cure?


We sometimes are pretty negative about the Law. Why do you think that is the case?


Since grace is the cure, why do you think people are often reluctant or resistant to the Gospel of Grace?


In Psalm 32:8 we see the words instruct and teach.  Instruction and teaching help us understand and discern God’s voice.  The word instruct means to be attentive to the details.  The word teach is a word associated with archery, it means pinpoint accuracy.  Understanding that, how hard is it to hear the voice of God if we have a sloppy or poor understanding of Scripture?


Our faith must not be our hobby if we are going to hear the voice of God.  On a scale of 1 to 10 honestly rate the following as the priorities of your life.  ____ Hobby 1  ____ Hobby 2 ___Family 

____ Job  ____ Personal peace and affluence ____ Christ
