In Step with God
Sermon Notes
God INVITES us to WALK with Him.
[Micah 6:8] No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Walking with God doesn't just take you somewhere, you become someone DIFFERENT.
[Genesis 5:22-24] After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. [23] Enoch lived 365 years, [24] walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Go wants us to WALK with him DAILY.
[Hebrews 11:5] It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying--"he disappeared, because God took him." For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.
Don't HIDE from God's presence.
Walking with God means being in AGREEMENT with God.
[Amos 3:3] Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?
It's not about God walking with US, it's us walking with GOD.
[1 John 2:6 ESV] whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
[Hebrews 11:6] And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
Faith pleases God more than SACRIFICE.
[Romans 12:2a] Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world
To walk with God is to walk against the GRAIN of culture.
