Title: In the Right Place<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Scripture: Matthew 5-21<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Most common question: What is your (motive<\/strong><\/span>)? Put another way: What is your (focus<\/strong><\/span>)?<\/p>\n

I. ON OUR HEART<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Proverbs 4:23-\u201cGuard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The heart is the seat of our (thoughts, emotions, desires, and will<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

II. ON THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cIt is spiritually dangerous to be more concerned about the sin of others than you are about your own.\u201d (Tripp-Sept. 29-p.347)<\/p>\n

What happens when we put the microscope on others?<\/p>\n

            1. Stop being aware of (our shortcomings<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n
            2. We become (self-righteous<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Being in the presence of Christ means (He is all there<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

              III. ON THE SAME MISSION AS JESUS<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

              Jesus was a man on (a mission<\/strong><\/span>). He knew (why He came<\/strong><\/span>). Luke 19:10<\/p>\n

              Our culture is enamored. Greatness = power. Power = greatness. Not so with Jesus.<\/p>\n
