Genesis 14-15 Matthew 7

Genesis 14-
In this chapter, we have the first war, we have people rebelling after being subject to power for 13 years, and, we have the first mention of a "10th" being given :)

Genesis 15-
God tells Abram not to be afraid. Abram asks for a child and God said for him to count the stars and so shall his offspring be!

Matthew 7-
Judgement! Don't be judged or you'll be judged according to how you judge others! Remember to first check your own sin before confronting others on their sin (specks and logs).

Ask, Seek Knock :) Vs 11 How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to hose who ask him! 12 Do unto others as you'd have them do to you! Vs 14 Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.

Vs 15 Watch for false prophets! We've studied this in 2 Peter in WBS this year and tomorrow's message for Thrive is also partly on false preaching from the book of Timothy! Knowing the truth of scripture is the way to guard against false prophets and false teachers! Also, vs 16 says by their fruit you will recognize them!

Not all who call Him Lord will enter the Kingdom. vs 21

Vs 26 We need to not just hear the words, we need to put them into practice! James 1:22 also says we need to be doers of the word, and not merely hearers!

We also need to have Christ as our foundation of our lives, He is our rock! Vs 25
