I am sending an angel ahead of you

— to guard you along the way and

— to bring you to the place I have prepared.” – Exodus 23:20

“DO NOT BE YOKED TOGETHER WITH UNBELIEVERS.

Second Corinthians 6:14-16

Intr.:

1. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?

2. Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

3. What harmony is there between  Christ and Belial?

4. What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

5. What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?

End:

For we are the temple of the living God.”

5. to another miraculous powers,

6. to another prophecy,

7. to another distinguishing between spirits,

8. to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and

9. to still another the interpretation of tongues.

End:

All these are the work of of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.”

“And that is what some of you were.

“We have different gifts,

Romans 12:6-8

Intr.:

according to the grace given us.

1. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

2. If it is serving, let him serve;

3. if it is teaching, let him teach;

4. if it is encouraging, let him encourage;

5. if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously;

6. if it is leadership, let him govern diligently;

7. if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.”

End:

“For I resolved

to know nothing

while I was with you except

Jesus Christ

and him crucified.”

who does not carry

2.  follow me

cannot be my disciple.’”
