1 Kings 22: Sheep without a shepherd

1 Kings 22: Elijah Sermon Series #6: Ways to avoid becoming sheep without a shepherd, getting up a creek without a paddle. 1) Stop making bad decisions; 2) stop trying to disguise those decisions as good; 3) Stop taking authority where its not ours to take; and 4) inhabit the country that God provides.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
