INTRODUCTION: Acts 1:1<\/p>\n
1. Acts a continuation of Luke (former treatise). Luke 1:3<\/p>\n
2. To write, Luke had to learn what Jesus did and taught.<\/p>\n
3. It is implied that he found out that Jesus didn’t do anything without teaching also. He was not a silent example.<\/p>\n
4. Neither did he teach without doing. Not a hypocrite.<\/p>\n
5. Hence Luke declared what Jesus did and taught.<\/p>\n
6. Jesus being our example, we learn from Him:<\/p>\n
1) The folly of doing and not teaching.<\/p>\n
2) The folly of teaching and not doing.<\/p>\n
3) The wisdom of doing and teaching.<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION:<\/p>\n
I. THE FOLLY OF DOING AND NOT TEACHING.<\/p>\n
1. Consider our losses if Jesus had performed his mighty deeds without words.<\/p>\n
1) His wonderful sermons. Matthew 5, 6, 7<\/p>\n
2) His promises. John 14:1-3<\/p>\n
3) His warnings. Luke 13:3<\/p>\n
4) His commands. Mark 16:15-16.<\/p>\n
2. Consider yourself. (Influence)<\/p>\n
1) Do your children have to wonder why you live the way you do? What a loss. Will they think that the Christian life is optional?<\/p>\n
2) It takes doing and teaching to train a child. Deuteronomy 6:3-7<\/p>\n
3) Give an answer. 1 Peter 3:15.<\/p>\n
4) Teach that others may teach. 2 Timothy 2:2.<\/p>\n
5) Preach the word. 2 Timothy 4:1, 2.<\/p>\n
II. THE FOLLY OF TEACHING AND NOT DOING.<\/p>\n
1. Do we realize the folly of the saying, “Do as I say and not as I do?”<\/p>\n
1) Do we say, “Don’t cuss,” and then we cuss? Rom 2:21-24<\/p>\n
2) Do we extol the virtues of giving and then are like those in James 2 and say, “be ye warmed and filled” and don’t provide the things that are needed?<\/p>\n
3) Do we say, “Amen” when sermons on the Great Commission are taught and yet one would be hard-pressed to find any evidence of our carrying it out? Matthew 28:18-20<\/p>\n
4) Have we made the mistake of inviting others to assembly and then fail to show up ourselves? Hebrews 10:25<\/p>\n
5) Do we claim to be Christian and ye do not do the will of the Father? Matthew 7:21-23<\/p>\n
2. James 3:1-13<\/p>\n
3. Matthew 15:9<\/p>\n
4. Matthew 23:1-3<\/p>\n
5. Acts 15:1-11; Gal. 2:11ff.<\/p>\n
III. THE WISDOM OF DOING AND TEACHING<\/p>\n
1. Doing and teaching is the Lord’s way.<\/p>\n
2. Ezra is an example of this. Ezra 7:10<\/p>\n
3. Abraham would command his children after him. Genesis 18:18-19<\/p>\n
4. Deut 6:3, 7<\/p>\n
5. 2 Timothy 2:1-2<\/p>\n
6. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 4:1-5. Scripture makes us doers and preachers.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION:<\/p>\n
1. Christianity is a taught religion. Teaching is absolutely mandatory. “Doing” without teaching will not do.<\/p>\n
2. Teaching without doing is called hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
3. We only follow our Lord’s example when we do and teach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
