Q) What kept Israel out of the promised land?

b 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

Lessons from John Mark
- Barnabas
24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered
Have faith in God - God has faith in you.
- Identity in Christ
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!
As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
Paul meets Barnabas
Barnabas to Tarsus - Antioch preached for a year
- John Mark’s house where the church was praying for Peter
- Eyewitnesses
- Nephew of Barnabas
, , - John Mark FAILED in his faith.
Barnabas who had faith in Paul - now did so in John Mark.
Barnabas laid down his life for John Mark
Barnabas saw value in those for whom he laid down his life.
Faith in John Mark = Gospel of Mark.
Paul later recognised John Mark
Philemon - Paul calls John Mark a ‘fellow labourer’.
God never quits on you - Don’t quit on God.
Don’t quit on yourself
Failing is not the worst thing - Quitting is.
Don’t quit on a failing brother - God doesn’t.
Don’t quit on sons/ daughters or young people.
Have faith in God working in men.
Talk Time: Like John Mark have you ever failed?
How did you overcome?
Was there someone who picked you up? Are you in a position to pick up a fallen brother?
The Buck stops here:
The Buck stops here:
- Dominion over entire earth but responsibility over garden.
Faithfulness in little - then big.
Adam passed the buck.
Unless you are willing to take responsibility for your words, thoughts, deeds - you will never be a man.
Acceptance of responsibility makes you a man.
Acceptance of responsibility IS Leadership.
Sin promises to serve and please but it enslaves and dominates.
Cannot have authority without responsibility.
Strength is demonstrated in gentleness ( fruit of the spirit )
God is looking for 3 qualities in men - Decisiveness - Consistency and Strength.
Women are looking for 3 qualities in men - Decisiveness - Consistency and Strength.
3 qualities that men struggle with - Decisiveness - Consistency and Strength.
Inconsistencies in men are generally testimony to their immaturity.”
— Edwin Louis Cole
— QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION — What are some things about which you struggle to be decisive?
What can you do to find some clarity?
How are you spending the majority of your time and money?
Are there ways you can improve?
Write out how you spend time and money and see if you can make some changes—do you think this will allow you more clarity to make decisions?
Buck Stops Here!
Building an Indestructible marriage:
1. Set your personal calendar first, Ministry second - don’t make family second best.
2. Do not let your business or ministry become an idol or your mistress.
3. Have a honeymoon - wives wants a holiday with you not without.
4. Devotional life - personally vital.
