Mark 4:33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand.
How do you show and tell people about Jesus? Do you live a life which reflects Christ?
Don’t try and get technical and try to prove Jesus is real through earthly means…
Allow Christ to show people He is real through your changed life. Lead by example!

Psalm 5:3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
When you ask God things in prayer, do you wait expectantly, or just wish?
God wants us to ask things of Him with confidence, knowing He is listening and knowing He will answer!
God wants us to enjoy all He is willing to give us and wants us to know how much He cares for us...

1 King 21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.
How do you react when you are told you are doing something wrong?
Most of us object and make a bigger scene about being told we are doing things wrong…
What would you do if Christ showed you all you are doing wrong?

Psalm 97:7 All who worship images are put to shame, those who boast in idols - worship him, all you gods!
When the apostles remind us every knee will bow, that includes the false gods and idols!
We should not be wasting our time running after things which don’t matter in the end…
Run after the one who we will all bow to alone!

Psalm 132:1 Lord, remember David and all his self-denial.
Sometimes we remember people for all the wrong things they have done instead of what they have not done!
God wants us to balance our lives and live them to give Him the glory…
Sometimes that means not doing something instead of following the crowd!

Psalm 89:26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Saviour.’
God recognises all who look to Him as God and Saviour; He upholds them too!
So many warnings about not following God are written in our bibles, it would be foolish to ignore them…
And yet so many people do ignore God’s warnings and live their own public lives without a true God!

How long do you support someone who you think is doing the right things?
How long do you support someone who you think is not doing the right thing?
God shows His love and support for us even though He knows what we have done!

Psalm 85:8 I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants - but let them not turn to folly.
When we are willing to listen to the best possible plan forward – we may just succeed!
When we listen to our pride and greed – we have no hope but in ourselves.
Let us rather hope in the one who knows it all!

Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
How often did you share your best toys with others as a child?
How many toys can you remember being broken by others?
God wants us to share and be friendly, but also to be sensible about it too!

Psalm 119:33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.
What use is it to go to college or university if you are not going to use the knowledge you have gained?
The same can be said about learning about Jesus – if we do not learn from what we hear, we make it useless!
God’s Word is everything we should aim for!

Psalm 79:9 Help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.
Why do you call on God to help you? Is it to get you out of a spot of bother, or is it so God can get the glory?
If we are seeking personal gratification for what we do for God, we are not doing it for God!
Stop looking for personal gratification out of your work for God!

Psalm 137:4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land?
What do you do with your relationship with Christ when you are on holiday?
Christ wants to be constantly in our lives and not just when we come out to church once a week!
We need to sing praises to Him no matter where we are in our lives… rejoice!

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
How well have you done in your life? How much do you think you have accomplished?
Do you think you have done all Christ has asked of you?
If you have kept Christ close at all times, then chances are you have listened and obeyed...

Mark 5:34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
If we are willing to be honest with Christ, He is willing to give us the very best He can!
No matter what we have done or how far we have strayed from the path, Jesus wants us back!
When we do come back with open hearts, He will fill them and refill us too!

Psalm 50:16 But to the wicked person, God says: “What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?”
God may be asking you to make a choice; but He gives you the right answer before you have to make the choice.
God knows our needs and gives us the answer before we start; not so with people who do not rely on God!
Know God and know He has your back, always!

Just because God’s Word is perfect, does not mean mankind is perfect!
We make mistakes, we sin and we do things wrong all the time.
But we can look to God’s Word and know it is what we should be aiming for!

Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
How would you describe doing things according to the law of the Lord?
Do you describe it as being the very long list of laws written down in the Bible, or just what Jesus said?
Jesus came to uphold the law and teach us what it really means because we lost our way!
