Scripture Lesson: Acts 20:28-31

 

The Third Way

The Watch Dog

Week #6

 

  1. Keep watch!

 

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? – Matthew 7:15-16

 

  1. The proof is in the fruit! (pudding would be better but the text says fruit – lol)

 

Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. – Matthew 7:17-20

 

  1. You can’t fake it until you make it.

 

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ – Matthew 7:21-23

 

Points To Ponder

 

  1. What is godly wisdom?

 

  1. How is godly wisdom different from worldly wisdom?

 

  1. Why does Jesus end the Sermon on the Mount with the parable of the wise and foolish builders?

 

  1. How well do you live out the principles of the Sermon on the Mount? Where is God calling you to change?
