If we were to construct a Bad Examples Hall of Fame…

to learn from the bad example of Israel Purpose: to learn from the bad example of Israel

I Israel Had ADVANTAGES (vv 1-5) A. Israel Had God’s Guidance (v 1)

A person can be actively involved in a church, a good citizen, engaged with their community and by the world’s standards good as good can be; yet…

II Israel Did What We MUST NOT (vv 6-10) A. Craved Worldly Things

What of our cravings? The more we have the more we want and material things become gods!

Luke 12:15 “…watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

II Israel Did What We MUST NOT (vv 6-10) A. Craved Worldly Things B. Idolatry

Remember the golden calf episode Remember the golden calf episode? Idolatry comes from the root word of idol. By definition idolatry is…

Today, we are tempted to hold our jobs, houses, cars, families in high esteem…

Sexual sin will ALWAYS take a person out of step with God’s approval!

II Israel Did What We MUST NOT (vv 6-10) A. Craved Worldly Things B. Idolatry C. Act Immorally D. Test the Lord

Pivotal word here is impatient – their timetable was quicker than God’s…

II Israel Did What We MUST NOT (vv 6-10) A. Craved Worldly Things B. Idolatry C. Act Immorally D. Test the Lord E. Grumble

People who find little if anything else to do but complain are out of step with God…

III Israel is GOOD as a BAD Example (vv 11-13) A. Be a Good Example

“Know history and make it! No history and repeat it!”

III Israel is GOOD as a BAD Example (vv 11-13) A. Be a Good Example B. Take Heed

Pride is a pitfall… Let the self-confident take heed, lest they too fall!

III Israel is GOOD as a BAD Example (vv 11-13) A. Be a Good Example B. Take Heed C. Trust in the Lord

God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are personally able to bear. We have His Word!

Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf “Some of the best leadership examples I received as a young officer were from terrible officers. I mean, absolutely morally bankrupt officers who had no redeeming qualities…” Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf

Conclusion and Summary Even the worst examples (such as Israel) can be used to accomplish the purposes of Christ if we, the people of Christ will carefully and faithfully learn good from bad examples!
