Sermon on Good Deeds<\/strong> – Sermon outline by Kevin Cauley showing that we are bound by conscience and scripture to do good deeds according to our ability.<\/p>\n

Date written: October 16th, 2005
Scripture ref: Mark 14:3-11<\/p>\n

SUBJECT: Ability<\/p>\n

TITLE: Do What You Can!<\/p>\n

PROPOSITION: How do we do what we can? How do we know that we have done what we could?<\/p>\n

Objectives: That each would understand what God expects in regard to our abilities.<\/p>\n

Aim: To encourage everyone to use what abilities they have not fret over the ones they don’t have. To focus upon what we can do, not upon what we can’t do.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION: [ Beginning of this sermon on good deeds. ]<\/p>\n

1. Read: Mark 14:3-11<\/p>\n

2. About the Text:<\/p>\n

1) The Jewish leaders were looking for an excuse to kill Jesus.<\/p>\n

2) Jesus had told his disciples what was about to happen.<\/p>\n

3) And word of this had naturally gotten out beyond the twelve.<\/p>\n

4) Mary, Lazarus’ sister (according to John 11:2) was the woman of this story.<\/p>\n

5) She took a very expensive ointment and anointed Jesus’ head and feet.<\/p>\n

6) Judas was upset because he wanted the money for this costly item and complained.<\/p>\n

7) He used the excuse of helping the poor to justify his feigned concern.<\/p>\n

8) But Jesus praised Mary.<\/p>\n

9) He said that she had done what she could.<\/p>\n

3. Ref. to S, T, P, O, and A.<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION: How do we know that we have done what we could? How do we do what we can?<\/p>\n

I.   We must recognize the limitations of our abilities.<\/p>\n

1. God understands that we all have our limitations.<\/p>\n

2. If we don’t recognize our limitations, we may not get anything done at all for discouragement.<\/p>\n

3. We see this in Paul’s instruction to the Corinthians concerning giving.<\/p>\n

1) 2 Corinthians 8:12 ” For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.”<\/p>\n

2) God won’t judge us according as to what we don’t have, but what we DO have.<\/p>\n

4. We read in Acts 11:29 “And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judea:”<\/p>\n

II.  We must not hide our abilities.<\/p>\n

1. Read Matthew 25:14-30<\/p>\n

1) Each was given the talents according to his ability! (vs. 15).<\/p>\n

2) That means that each had a response-ability to use what he was given.<\/p>\n

2. I’m often surprised at the abilities that others have.<\/p>\n

3. You know what those abilities are and so does God.<\/p>\n

4. Ultimately, it won’t be the preacher, elders, teachers, or deacons that will stand before God.<\/p>\n

5. Romans 14:12 “So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.”<\/p>\n

6. We must ask ourselves how can we use our abilities for God?<\/p>\n

III. We must use our abilities no matter how small.<\/p>\n

1. Take the example of Dorcas.<\/p>\n

1) Read Acts 9:36-43<\/p>\n

2) Dorcas was FULL of good deeds.<\/p>\n

3) What did she do? She cared for widows.<\/p>\n

2. How many of us would think that God would call someone who cared for widows, “full of good deeds”?<\/p>\n

3. Yet, He did!<\/p>\n

4. There is nothing too small that we can’t use for God’s glory.<\/p>\n

5. There’s an expression “Think globally; act locally.”<\/p>\n

6. That’s exactly the attitude we need to have toward doing God’s work.<\/p>\n

7. We can ALL do something!<\/p>\n

8. Read 1 Peter 4:7-11.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION: [ Ending of this sermon on good deeds<\/em>. ]<\/p>\n

1. How can be like Mary and do what we can?<\/p>\n

1) Recognize the limitations of our abilities.<\/p>\n

2) Use our abilities no matter how small.<\/p>\n

3) We must not hide our abilities.<\/p>\n
