Follow Along with the Message

Right is Still Right and Wrong is Still Wrong

Pastor Tom Lundeen

Our series is focused on something incredibly  for every follower of Jesus in 2022: what does it means to stand for God and His truth and embrace His mission when everyone and everything around us is standing for anything and everything else but God and His truth?

Note James 5:17a

Note 1 Kings 21:1-4

Note Isaiah 5:20

1.  to What God Has Said Can Be Challenging

Note Numbers 36:7 and Ezekiel 46:18b

Ahab is asking Naboth to disobey God and  His Word so he can get what he wants.

When Ahab doesn’t …his response is (note 1 Kings 21:4).

We also live in a culture where others don’t understand or appreciate how valuable, wise, and important God’s truth is, and our  to live according to His truth.

2. It Matters Who We Allow to  Us

Note 1 Kings 18:4; 19:2

Note 1 Kings 21:5-10

Note 1 Kings 18:40-44; 20:13ff; 21:27-29

It matters who we  as our closest friends, colleagues, and partners (note Proverbs 22:24-25; 1 Corinthians 15:33).

Who influences you ?

3. God Ultimately Brings  

Note 1 Kings 21:11-14; 2 Kings 9:26a

Note 1 Kings 21:16

But nothing escapes God’s  (note 1 Kings 21:17-19).

Ahab and Jezebel are going to discover that God  justice, and that His  principle is true for unknown, regular people, and also for presidents, prime ministers, kings, billionaire CEO’s, or social media oligarchs (note Hosea 10:12-13; Galatians 6:7; 1 Kings 21:20-24).

Note 1 Kings 16:30-33 and 21:25-26

But even in God’s declaration of justice, He showed mercy to a  and repentant heart (note 1 Kings 21:27-29).

Note 1 Kings 22:37-38; 2 Kings 9:30-37; 10:1-17

Note Deuteronomy 32:35; Romans 12:19

So who’s got this in your life?: 

• …the Judge of all the earth will do what’s (note Genesis 18:25)
• Because of Jesus, we can actually have our sins  when we say Yes to Jesus as Lord (note Colossians 2:13-15).
• If you have said Yes to Jesus, do you know and hold to God’s Word?
• Who are you allowing the greatest influence in your life?
• Are you trusting the Judge of all the earth to do what’s right in your life and relationships and circumstances?
