First Baptist Norfolk Dr. Eric Thomas

How can we know the best way to live?

1. Memorize God’s Word.
2. Pray for specific steps to take.
3. Share our absolute delight in God’s direction.
4. Meditate on God’s instructions.

Obedience to God’s Word makes us happy.
Psalm 119:1-8

1. Our path is safe and secure when we follow God’s instruction.
2. Our life is full of joy and free from shame when our passion is God’s purpose.
3. Our hearts overflow in worship when we obey God’s will.

A Disciple remembers, repeats, and reproduces.
2 Timothy 2:1-2

The resurrection offers victorious power to those who believe.

1. Power for victory over sin.
2. Power for victory over death.
3. Power for victory in life.

1. Jesus brings us into His family.
2. Jesus fits us together for a holy function.

We need Jesus, because Jesus makes peace possible.

1. Jesus destroyed the enemies of peace.
2. Jesus builds the bridge to peace.
