Dinner Table
(insert picture of family at dinner table; saved already as family dinner table)
(insert personal story around dinner table when young/raising family/now)
When you were around the table, if you were at the table, what did you talk about?
As a member of the Lord’s family, does it really matter what we talk about?
Something to think about as we go through this lesson tonight.
What is your mindset?
What is your mindset, what occupies most of your thoughts?
What we set our mind on matters.
(Php2:5-7)
What is closest to you, what is important to you, that will be what you talk about.
Maybe it is your family, your grandkids, maybe even the weather, or you may be daring and religion or politics is important to you.
What is closest to you is what is going to occupy your thoughts and your mindset.
Let’s look at biblical direction and biblical example
Now there is the mind, mindset we are to have, even telling us of the example of Jesus, but I want to look at another example.
(Have everyone turn in their bibles to Psm145:1-7)
Since this is a Bible study, let’s study this passage together.
What is the mindset of David in (vv.1-3)?
Who is David speaking to or about (v.4)?
What does David have to say about God’s works (vv.5-7)
(Below for handout not to be said)
In looking at Psm145:1-7 we can tell about David’s mindset, that impacted his words and actions.
Our mindset will do the same.
David was the King, was a husband, a father, military leader.
do you think he had his mind set only on God?
But God was important to him and his mindset was that of God and that impacted his actions.
Sometimes he struggled and acted outside of God’s will; Bathsheba, taking census of people.
What is your mindset?
What are you talking about?
Who are you talking to about the important things in your life?
What should our mindset be?
Something to consider: Whatever you mindset is on will impact what you set your praise on too.
What is your praise set on?
What do you set your praise on?
What accomplishments, works do you praise about?
Do you praise your works, your accomplishments or Christ’s and His finished work of redemption on the cross?
(Tit3:5; Eph2:8-9; Psm134:8-13)
Paul tells us Christ saved us not by our deeds but by His through the work of the Holy Spirit!
Let’s now look at another great passage, this time concerning praise (Psm145:8-13)
What do you see, what do you notice, what sticks out to you regarding praise here?
spend time there developing this (go back to the slides) especially be careful when looking at (v.9) good to all, expand on what that means!
In looking at this passage we can see that our mindset will impact our praise and what our praise should be set on.
III.
Mindset when we falter
We just looked at what our mindset should be, how it impacts our praise, but wait, there is more we can learn from Psm145: we can’t stop there with that Psm.
To who does the Lord sustain when they fall (v.14)?
How does He sustain them (v.15)
Whose desire does He fill and hear their cry (vv16, 18-19)?
The Lord knows we falter, knows we stumble but HE is with those who turn to Him and will be there for us.
Don’t have your mindset on things you that are temporary, money and the like, know when we have our mindset on Him, our praise going to Him then He will not leave us nor forsake us.
So get your mindset right (Jam4:8; 7, 6)
Draw near to God! - your actions will follow, cleansing, purifying, getting rid of being double minded on world and heaven
Remember our mindset and submit yourself.
Submit and resist and you will have good results
All that comes from the greater grace that is given to the humble, the one who submits to God and draws near to.
The one with the right mindset.
Let’s venture back to mindset
Are there things we need to empty ourselves of?
Are there things we need to change our attitude, our mindset about?
Empty yourself of your ways; submit to God’s ways
Be willing to humble yourself so you can submit yourself and be able to draw near to God through faith.
For us to approach Him we must believe, but you know what, before the world was created He believed in you, had you in mind, so keep Him in mind, have the right mindset by spending time with Him, making Him a priority!
(below is time permitting only; revised and extended on 7/18/2018)
In reading the intro material in the study guide to a book entitled “God’s Love Story I came across this to wet your appetite on maybe considering a small group study.
What does the Bible do?
Convicts us of sin (Rom3:23)
Criticizes our inner being (Heb4:12)
Converts the soul (Psm19:7)
Communicates the Word of God to us (Jn3:34)
Comforts our heart (Psm119:50)
Confirms our faith (Psm119:7)
Counsels the life (Psm119:24)
Cleanses the walk (Psm119:9)
The Bible speaks of “No Other”
No other foundation
No other hope
No other way
No other Gospel
No other power
no other name
No other cornerstone
So here we have the Bible in all its entirety, and from this brief introduction to book giving a broad overview of the bible to help us grasp God’s plan for mankind, from beginning to end, in God’s own words.
39 chapters, 45 min personal study time 1 hour small group discussion if you are interested in this, let me know.
Helping us to have the right mindset comes from having a mind set on Christ.
