Human Nature

Human Nature

I. How Are You?
A. Demander of Justice...Luke 18:1-6
B. Persistent, So Persistent...Luke 11:5-8
C. Worth the Search...Luke 15:8,9
D. Let's Make a Deal...Luke 14:31, 32
E. The Sum Total...Luke 16:1-8
When humans really want something, they don't let up!

II. Lessons From The Past
A. Very Forgetful...Judges 2
B. Naturally Scary...Judges 6:25-32
C. A Hero's Welcome...Judges 8 and 9:1-4
D. Amazingly...Judges 10
Human Nature, it's all about the "now" and ourselves. Most really only call upon Yahweh when things are not going right. Are we calling upon him DAILY? Is he first DAILY?

III. As Human As They Were
A. Leaving Everything...Matt. 4:18-22; 9:9 (left IMMEDIATELY)
B. True Test!...John 6:52-69 (v.67-69)
C. Yahshua Acknowledges...Luke 22:24-30 (v. 28)
1. John 9:13-23 Human nature to not want to be shunned or disliked

IV. Who Then?
A. With Men No, With Yahweh...Luke 18:18-30
B. Special Consideration!...Ps. 78:36-39; Prov. 24:16
C. Be Encouraged...John 16:25-33; Heb. 12:1-17 (People are happy with a "pot of
stew" because it satisfies the "now".)
D. The Key!...2 Pet. 3:10-14 (look forward not at the "now")
Satan will try to keep "weights" on us so we won't look forward.
