ReThink Hearing and Doing

Matthew 7:15–29 (ESV) 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” 28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

You recognize Others by their actions.

in the world today we call people by their actions all the time

if someone lies to us we call them a ? ..... Lier

if someone steals from you we call them a ? … thief

if we catch someone cheating we call them a ? … Cheater

If they do all three we call them a ....... politation

who a person hangs around affects them.

1 Corinthians 15:33 (ESV)

33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Dan Pena, the Businessman and social media voice said it this way “show me your friends and i will show you your future.

If you want to be successful find successful people to be around

if you want to be a leader, find leaders to be around

if you want to be strong in faith find some strong faithful people to be around

Be Around Who You Want To Be.

Many will say it and not live it

many will say it and not know what it is

Many will say it and demand it from you but not from them

They are all words but never follow it with action

Always be willing to follow your words with actions.

English Standard Version (Chapter 3) 1st john 1:8 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

If you can not back it up don't say it.

Proverbs 17:28 (ESV)

28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

We must hear the word of God THEN DO IT

James 1:22–25 (ESV)

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Today we hear, now let us not forget to Do it, and Doing it Starts today
