Sermon

Overhead - knowing God - 6-3-07 afternoon

*“Knowing God”*
*Introduction:*
Input:  Why do we need a study on knowing God?
Ø          *Daniel 11:32** "…but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.”*
Ø          *Philippians 3:10** that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death *
~*  Basically, we’re wanting to accomplish two things:
1) to glorify God by our obedience to His Word
2) heed the admonition of ‘knowledge alone can make a person proud’ – so we want to put that knowledge into ACTION!
 
I.  Knowledge of God:  His HOLINESS!
~*  Holiness = completely separate from sin
Ø         *Psalm 99:5 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at His footstool; Holy is He.*
Ø         *1 Peter 1:16** because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."*
*~* One of our goals in this study is to learn more about God . . . and His HOLINESS so we can be more OBEDIENT to His Word and bring glory to Him by:*
1)  exercising our faith in a God Who is HOLY 
2)  proclaiming this truth to others so they can know Who God is
3)  modeling this attribute in our lives 
 
II.  Responding to Our Knowledge of God
ð  What other passages communicate this attribute of God?
Ø            *Psalm 99:9*
Ø            *Isaiah 6:3*
Ø            *Exodus 15:11** *
Ø            *Isaiah 40:12-17** [read]*
ð  What impact should this attribute have in the following areas of our lives?
·           *Temptation to sin:*
·           *Facing Trials (suffering, illness, disappointments)*
·           *Conflicts with people:*
·           *Prayer Life:*
ð  In what ways does our church emphasize~/model this quality? 
ð  In what ways do we as a church need to GROW in the way we emphasize~/model this attribute? 
ð  How can you emphasize this attribute to your family (spouse, children) and friends?
ð  KEY QUESTION:  What impact should this attribute have on the following?
·      *Outreach:  *
·      *Praise~/Worship: *
·      *Discipleship~/Growth: *
·      *Serving (use of gifts~/abilities): *
·      *One another ministry (Building Meaningful Relationships): *
*Conclusion:*
*/Q: Are you seeking to be more holy because God is holy?/*
*/Q:  In what ways does your knowledge of God truly impact your actions~/choices~/thoughts?/*
*/Quote /** –** John Piper*

Searching for Sermons & Illustrations

Basic Use

To perform a simple search for sermons and illustrations, type your search terms into the search box on the left and press enter. The sidebar will switch over to the search results tab and automatically load the first submission. To view more search results, simply scroll down. Additional results will automatically load into the bottom of the sidebar as you scroll.

hope
faith like a mustard seed

You can modify your search to only return results containing two or more of your terms by using the AND keyword. The OR keyword can be used to specify that you want results that may only match one of your terms. Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.

love AND patience
joy OR happiness
"walk with God"
joy AND "hard times"
(servant OR slave) AND (Jesus OR Christ)

Advanced Searches

Sermons.Logos.com also supports more advanced search syntax. Sermons are broken down into several sections, or fields:

author | The name of the contributor
title | The title of the submission
passage | Passages related to the submission
topic | Topics addressed by the submission, e.g.: forgiveness, marriage
tag | Tags attached to the submission, e.g.: men's retreat, Easter Sunday
type | 'sermon' or 'illustration'
language | The language the submission was written in, e.g.: en, es, ko
content | The full text of the submission

By default a search will look for matches in any field. You can also specify which field you want to search by inserting the name of the field directly before your search term.

title:faith
tag:"Father's day" AND type:illustration
topic:"John the Baptist"

Bible references are treated as special search terms. Sermons.Logos.com understands verse ranges, and will match submissions that contain any references within the range you specify, not just the exact reference. If you search for John 3:15-17, you will also get results with John 3:16. A Bible reference is specified by using angle brackets, such as <Eph 2:8>. If you forget to use the angle brackets in a simple query, don't worry, it will still be recognized as a Bible reference.

Genesis 1:1
<Eph 2:1-9>
passage:<Proverbs 3:5-6>
