Seven Voices of Jesus

Text: I Kings 19:12

Introduction: The Lord speaks to men today by the written Word of God. He also speaks silently to the Christian's heart by the Holy Spirit. We will take a brief look at seven voices of the Lord Jesus Christ as found in Scripture.

I. The Shepherd's Voice -- Follow Me

A. The Sheep follow Him John 10:27

B. Follow  Him and not walk in darkness John 8:12

1. To follow Jesus expresses a union of the two, you and Christ

2. To follow Jesus  shows that you are united or "hooked together" with Him

3. To follow Jesus is to go the same way as He goes

C. Follow Him and be a fisher of men  Matt. 4:19

D. Follow Jesus and take up your Cross

1. Die to the importance of self

2. Put the Lord first in your life every moment of every day

3. Make Christ the number #1 priority in your living; serving; and giving

 

OVERVIEW OF THE SERIES: So many Christians today are too casual about their faith. We go to church on Sunday then the rest of the week we say “ok God make something happen”. That way if nothing happens in the week then we can say “God didn’t use me” this week and we take no personal responsibility for our day to day life.

You're not here by accident. Jesus loves you, and He wants you to have a personal relationship with Him. There is just one thing that separates you from God. That one thing is sin.

People tend to divide themselves into groups - good people and bad people. But God says that every person that has ever lived is a sinner, and any sin separates us from God. That includes you and me.

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
