2025 THEME: Burning Hearts
Title: Beware!
Scripture: Numbers 28-Deuteronomy 7
I. BEWARE OF INDEPENDENCE (Numbers 28-30; Dt. 1-2)
Independence is (good) unless it is independence (from God).
“When God calls us to himself, he doesn’t put us in a process that moves from dependence to
independence. Christian maturity isn’t about independence, but about a growing willingness to
be wholly dependent on the providing grace of the Savior.” (Tripp-2/23)
II. BEWARE OF SIN (Number 31-34; Dt. 3-4)
God warned His people that culture (will drag us down). See Num.33:55
III. BEWARE OF DISREGARDING GOD’S LAW (Dt. 5-7)
“God didn’t give His law as a means of gaining His acceptance; His standard is too lofty, too holy.
No, God’s law was a gift to those He had already chosen to love, so that they would know how
to live and, in following His commands, thrive.” (Tripp-3/1)
Verses from Psalm 119: “Oh, how I love your instructions (laws)! I think about them all day
long.” (v. 97) “I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your
word.” (v.101) “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” (v.105)
