let us examine 10 additional benefits (psalm 68:19)
Introduction:
1. In this verse David stated that the Lord loads His people daily with benefits. 2. Later (Psalm 103:2) David admonished the Lord's people to "forget not all His benefits." 3. This morning we examined 5 benefits revealed in Romans 8:18-39. 4. This evening we are examining 10 additional benefits that are revealed in both the Old and New Testaments. 5. These benefits have something in common -- they all relate to God's Word. Discussion: I. LET US FIRST CONSIDER 3 SPECIAL BENEFITS REVEALED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
A. "Cleansing" (Psalm 119:9) B. "Power to overcome temptation" (Psalm 119:11) C. "Direction" (Psalm 119:105) II. LET US NEXT CONSIDER 7 SPECIAL BENEFITS REVEALED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
A. "Increasing your knowledge of Christ" (John 5:39; 2 Peter 3:18) B. "Knowing the truth that will make you free" (John 8:31-32) C. "Building you up" (Acts 20:32) D. "Increasing your faith" (Romans 10:17) E. "Equipping you completely to do God's will" (2 Timothy 3:16-17) F. "Saving your soul" (James 1:21) G. "Spiritual growth" (1 Peter 2:2). Conclusion:
1. The Lord loads His people with benefits daily -- let us not forget them. 2. Let us study the Scriptures daily to receive the Lord's benefits that relate to His Word.
