Sermon Text: Hebrews 4: 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to diving soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Sermon Title: The Word Works Pt 1
Point 1: The word of God Cuts vs. 12a For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any doubled—edged sword, When we think of cutting we tend to think of pain…
(a) It’s alive.
(b) It’s active.
Point 2: The Word of God Corrects vs. 12b it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The text tells us how the bible brings us in line and gives us correction and direction for our life. It does it by dividing the desires of the soul from the demands of the spirit…
(a) It has an agent
Isaiah 55:11 describes scripture as being a living agent or messenger that God sends to touch our lives. Listen to what God says in this passage... "....My word will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." So, unlike any other book, the Bible is living and powerful and giving us direction. Paul put it this way.
2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2 Tim 4:2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Point 3: The Word of God Conforms vs. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. God Sees Everything There Is No Hiding. Only the Word of God is capable of exposing the thoughts and attitudes of a single human heart. There really is no use in hiding…
Romans 12: 1 Be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Your mind is transformed by the word.
Life Implementation:
(1) When problems arise in your life and they will go the word of God for the solution…
(2) Do what the word of God says…
(3) Read the word of God daily…
