IF GOD...

Pastor Rick Jackson

We have been doing a series of "If" messages on Wednesdays that comes to a close with this message as far as I know. The phrase "If God" appears 10 times in the New Testament. each time it is used it is very instructive for us.

I. IF GOD IS YOUR FATHER WHY WORRY? Matthew 6:30

II. IF YOU DON'T LOVE JESUS DON'T CLAIM GOD IS YOUR FATHER! John 8:42

III. MAKE YOUR PLANS WITH GOD IN MIND. Acts 18:21

James 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that

1 Corinthians 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will...

IV. WHY FEAR ANYONE ELSE? Romans 8:31-39

V. WHY COMPLAIN ABOUT GOD'S TIMETABLE? Romans 9:22

VI. WHY ASSUME GOD WON'T JUDGE A LACK OF FAITH? Romans 11:18-27

VII. WE SHOULD WITNESS TO THE LOST. 2 Timothy 2:25

VIII. WE ONLY CAN DO WHAT GOD WILL ALLOW. Hebrews 6:1-3

1 Corinthians 16:7 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. (emphasis here on what God allows in #III the emphasis is proper mindset)

IX. GOD WILL JUDGE THE WICKED 2 Peter 2:1-9

X. WE OUGHT TO LOVE OTHERS AS GOD LOVES US 1 John 4:11
