We cannot possibly look at all of the warnings that God gives us in the Bible in the time that we have this morning.

There are some warnings given to the Jews in Luke 11:37 through 12:12 that are as important for us to consider today as they were for them then. This is because these warnings deal with our attitude and our hearts. Whether we do things that are good or things that are evil, it all starts in our hearts with our attitude.

Binding ‘Tradition’ as Law Luke 11:

Binding ‘Tradition’ as Law Washing before a meal is now, and always has been, for sanitation purposes.

Binding ‘Tradition’ as Law Washing before a meal is now, and always has been, for sanitation purposes. These Jews were more concerned about this ceremonial washing than they were about the filth of greed and wickedness in their own hearts.

Binding ‘Tradition’ as Law Washing before a meal is now, and always has been, for sanitation purposes. These Jews were more concerned about this ceremonial washing than they were about the filth of greed and wickedness in their own hearts. Today, we can get caught up in making an outward show of being very pious and religious and forget that our charge is to seek the lost, spread the Gospel, and glorify God and the salvation he has provided.

Tithing even herbs and forgetting about Justice and Love Luke 11:42

Tithing even herbs and forgetting about Justice and Love They should have tithed without leaving the other things undone.

Tithing even herbs and forgetting about Justice and Love They should have tithed without leaving the other things undone. Today, we live in a very affluent nation. Many times we have the tendency to ‘throw money” at problems or tasks that need to be done, instead of applying our own talents and abilities to do what we can do ourselves.

Many times we have the tendency to ‘throw money at problems or task that need to be done, instead of applying our own talent and abilities to do what we can do ourselves. Evangelism is one example where this is a problem, all too often.

Desiring a place of Honor Luke 11:43

Desiring a place of Honor We are displeasing to God when we seek to exalt ourselves over others.

Desiring a place of Honor We are displeasing to God when we seek to exalt ourselves over others. 1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And Jesus called a little child to him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” 4 “Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:1- 4

Desiring a place of Honor 1 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven.” 2 “Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.” Matthew 6:1- 2 We should always seek to bring glory to God in the things that we do, both in the worship service and in our everyday lives.
