Romans 15:1-7
Introduction
Paul makes an appeal to the mature believer. He has just discussed how christians should deal with the world, how they should get along with one another, and he continues just a little more on this theme. He continues to build on the instruction he has given previously.
"We then that are strong" - Strong christians, here is your instruction! This is something for you!

Psalm 39:1-2
Introduction
When it rains, it pours is the old saying. Last week, we noticed the Psalmist having a Pity party, lamenting his personal problems. This Psalm Deals with Discouragement. Everyone faces discouragement in their life. It is not something uncommon, and some deal with discouragement more than others.
Discouragement is often the results of unfulfilled expectations. You are expecting something to happen, and when it does not happen, you become sad, sullen, and often discouraged from the results that were not as you expected.

Romans 15:8-13
Introduction
Paul has been advocating how God desires to save BOTH Jew and Gentile throughout his entire letter to the Romans. There appears to have been a great battle for the Gentiles to adhere to the OT religious laws and completely change their way of life. Jesus should and does change your life.
2 Cor 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Mark 4:1-13 (1-20)
Introduction
We are in a passage that I know I have preached before. However, we don’t come for something new every week, we come to be reminded of things we already know, and need reminded of. The Sowing of the Seed is a recurring theme throughout the NT in various illustrations. It is given over and over, as food, water, light, seed, all good things that help others. We must remember Jesus came that people would be saved, and he has entrusted that message with us!

Psalm 40:1-5
Introduction
We can view most Psalms from the eyes or perspective of the writer. Looking at it from the time of the writing. They can be viewed prophetically, looking forward to what they would represent. Remember, when they were written, Jesus Christ had not yet been brought into the world as the Supreme Sacrifice. The Holy Spirit had not yet come to be the Comforter. And much of the Bible had yet to be completely written. However, it is Scripture, therefore it was given by God, who is NOT bound by these limitations! What an incredible book we have, hold, and adhere to!

Romans 16:1-2
Introduction
Probably one of the greatest titles one could bear!
Matt. 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
1Cor. 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Pro 4:1-13
Intro.
In these 13 verses, Wisdom is held as the most important thing! Verse 7 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing”. Yet it is often the most overlooked thing! We have elevated knowledge over wisdom! Look at all the degrees that people tote, and how elevated it is when someone has an earned degree. I’m not against education, I’m just contrasting the fact that God doesn’t elevate knowledge over wisdom! Wisdom is knowing what to do with the knowledge we have. Some people know a lot of things, but they don’t know how to use what they know.
