Lazy River Livin’

Key Verse Hebrews 2:1 (page 648) Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

Lazy River Livin’ happens when: 1.We do not know what God says Ephesians 4:14-15 (page 635) That we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up every way into him who is the head, into Christ.

Lazy River Livin’ happens when: 2.We ignore what God says Proverbs 3:5-7a (page 340) Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes….

Lazy River Livin’ happens when: 3.We do not stay the course Romans 5:1-4 (page 612) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Lazy River Livin’ happens when: 3.We do not stay the course Romans 5:1-4 (page 612) Not only that, but we rejoice in our suffering, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Lazy River Livin’ happens when: 4.We are double-minded, distracted by stuff and things, and focused on comfort and leisure Mark 4:19 (page 545) the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

Colossians 1:23 (NLT) But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News.

LABC Purpose Statement Glorify God, Pursue People

LABC Core Values Sacrifice: God gave His son, se we give all to Him. Exalt: God is supreme, so we exalt Him. Learn: God is the great Teacher, so we learn from Him Pray: God speaks, so we talk with Him. Pursue: God pursues people, so we pursue people. Connect: God created relationships, so we build friendships.

Sacrifice Luke 21:1-4 ( page 572 ) Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put more in than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

Exalt Mark 4:19 ( page 545 ) the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.

Learn Matthew 11:29-30 ( page 529 ) Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Pray Luke 22:42 ( page 573 ) Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done.

Pursue 2 Peter 3: 9-11 ( page 659 ) God relentlessly pursues people, “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,” so, Peter writes, “what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God?”

Connect James 1:19 ( page 654 ) let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
