  5. Craving for Peace is Natural • Good News Travels Fast- • Especially in the age of Social Networks • Proverbs 25:25 “As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country.” • Proverbs 15:31 “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy.”

  6. “Gospel” Means “Good News” • What does it Say? • We can be “Saved,” but “from what?” • Matthew 1:21 “Jesus…He will save His people from their sins.” • We can “be forgiven,” but “I’m not that bad a person!” • 1 John 1:8 “IF we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

  7. “Good News” Is Not Always “Right News” • False Prophets Agreed with the Wishes of their Hearers- • Would make them feel good, temporarily • Telling people what they WANT to hear does no lasting good • 2 Timothy 3:1; 4:2-4 “heap up for themselves teachers…turn away from the truth”

  8. “Good News” Is Not Always “Right News” • False Prophets Appealed to the Pride of the Populace- • Proverbs 28:23 • They promised them pleasant things • Required no reformation of character • Told them no APPARENT DANGER! • 2 Peter 3:4 “all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation”

  9. When it was too late to do anything about it!

  10. Sometimes “Good News” Is “Bad News” • How can you Prepare for Something if you Don’t Know? • How many More People could have been Saved on the Titanic? • Shipbuilders: “Life boats too cumbersome and unnecessary.” • I would like to hear the ship I’m on cannot sink… • But what if it DOES?

  11. Sometimes “Bad News” is “ Good News” • The wages of sin is death! – Romans 6:23 – Good to know I can do something about this! • Matthew 7:26 – foolish man does not do what Jesus says to do • Matthew 18:15 –Only reason we tell anyone their faults is to help them – “you have gained your brother”

  12. Craving For Peace Can Be Satisfied • Through Patience- • Anything of any value takes Time, Patience, and sometimes, Suffering • Revelation 2:10 “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” • Through Repentance- • 2 Peter 3:9,15 “not willing that any should perish” • Romans 2:4 “goodness of God leads to repentance”

  13. Craving For Peace Can Be Satisfied • Through Renewal- • Romans 12:2 “renewing of your mind” • 1 Peter 1:13-16 “not conforming to former lusts…Be holy, for I am holy.” • Through Obedience- • Matthew 7:21-23 “do the will of the Father in heaven” • Luke 8:21 “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
