The joy of obedience by Jack Legon

1. THE JOY
OF OBEDIENCE

4. LUKE 6.46-49
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47
I will
show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and
puts them into practice. 48
He is like a man building a house, who dug
down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the flood came, the
torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well
built. 49
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into
practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a
foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed
and its destruction was complete.”

5. 46
“Why do you call
me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and
do not do what I
say?

7. 1. EITHER HE IS
LORD OF ALL
OR NOT LORD
AT ALL

8. JAMES 1.22
‘Not every who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he
who does the will of my father who is in heaven.’
‘Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS.’
MATTHEW 7.21

9. 1 JOHN 2.3-6
Jesus says "If you love me, you will obey what I command.
3
We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.4
The man
who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth
is not in him. 5
But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in
him. This is how we know we are in him: 6
Whoever claims to live in him must live
as Jesus did.
JOHN 14:15

10. AIDEN WILSON TOZER
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is not quite
forgotten among Christians, but it has been
relegated to the hymnal where all responsibility
toward it may be comfortably discharged in a
glow of religious emotion. Or if it is taught as a
theory in the classroom it is rarely applied to
practical living. The idea that the man Christ
Jesus has absolute final authority over the whole
church and over it’s members in every detail of
their lives is simply not now accepted as true by
the rank and file of evangelical Christians.

12. 2. DIG DOWN DEEP
THE STORMS ARE
STEEP

13. MATTHEW 7.24-25
‘Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and
puts them into practice is like a wise man who build his
house on rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not
fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.’

14. 1 CORINTHIANS 3.11-13
11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,
which is Jesus Christ. 12
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold,
silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13
his work will be shown for
what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with
fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

17. SUITUP

18. 3. JESUS KNOWS
BEST
PUT IT TO THE TEST

19. JOHN 7.16-17
16
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent
me. 17
Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching
comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
31
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you
are really my disciples. 32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you
free.”
JOHN 8.31-32
