Holy Distinction
Pastor David Gibbs - 8/17/2014
Proverbs 15:1-16:8
There are distinct indicators in the lives of those following Jesus
1. Gentleness -15:1 and 15:18
- how often has our pride hurt someone or hurt us?
2. Strong Character - 15:2-4, 24-27
- Same when people are around as alone
- Same on the outside as inside
- Honesty and Integrity
3. Obedient - 15:5, 20-22
- Learn to submit to those in authority
4. Productive - 15:6, 19
- They are actually doing something for the work of Christ
- Pray for and encourage those who are not productive
5. Wise - 15:7, 28
- Godly wisdom does not just come with age
- It comes with a faithful walk with God even through the trials
6. Authentic - 15:8-9, 29
- Are you being real?
- Is the image people see the real you? Your successes and failures?
- There is healing that comes with opening up to someone
7. Reverent - 15:10-11, 33
- Someone who is growing in God grows in the reverence towards Him
- They want Him to be glorified in all we do
8. Joyeous - 15:12-15, 30-32
- When we are satisfied with the creation God made in us, the joy inside shows on the outside
- People are drawn to people full of joy
9. Christlike - 15:16-17, 8
- Great possessions of a Christlike life...
• a pious life
• a loving home
• personal integrity
The church is what brings healing to the community
He is distinguishing us from the world so we can set an example for them of who Christ is
