The Will of the Father

Categories: Easy Sermons to Preach, Sermon Outlines, Short Sermon Outlines, Short Sermons, Topical Sermon Outlines

Introduction: Matt. 7:21

1. We teach that our eternal destiny depends upon doing the will of the Father (Matt. 7:21), without adding (2 John 9; 1 Cor. 4:6; 1 Pet. 4:11), and without subtracting (Rev. 22:19).

2. What is it about the will of the Father that makes it right?

3. What is it about the will of man that makes it so wrong?

DISCUSSION:

I.   GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH, John 17:17

1. God cannot lie, Titus 1:2.

2. He is infinite in knowledge. Illus. Job 38:1-6. See difference between knowledge of man and God. See also Job 42:1-6.

3. God’s word is that which reflects reality as it is. God being the ultimate source of reality.

4. Doing the will of the Father, then, is acting upon truth, acknowledging reality and God’s omniscience.

II.  THE WAY OF MAN IS DEATH

1. Prov. 14:12 . . . “end thereof are the ways of death.”??

2. Peter realized his utter inadequacy, John 6:66-68.

3. Man, without God, on his own, ends in death, Gen. 6:5.

4. Following the will of man is acting upon a lie, denying reality and God’s sovereignty.

Conclusion:

1. When we choose to follow men (denominationalism) rather than God and His Word (unaltered) we sin and find ourselves hell-bound.

2. Repent while you can.
