  1. What is First in Your Life? • A neglected faith will in time face a “moment of truth.” • persecution. (Lk 8:13-14; Mt 24:11-13) • “small” compromises. (Lk 8:14; Heb 2:1) • Many never see the fall coming, but they should have! • This is a lesson on priorities that looks at one barometer of spirituality, our attitude towards the services of the church.

  2. He shows a disregard for his own soul • One of Satan’s best weapons is to make us indifferent to urgent matters. (2 Cor 4:3-4) • We can fight God! (Acts 5:38-40; 2 Pt 3:3-4) • Why does God give instructions for the assemblies? (Heb 10:23-25) • Arrogance claims that a God-given provision is not necessary.

  3. He shows a disregard for other Christians • One first pulls away from other Christians before a fall. • What are Christians like? (Jn 13:34-35 1Jn 2:9) • This involves both within and without the services. (Acts 9:26-28; Acts 1:21) • Many have accepted a sterile, self-centered view of the life of a Christian. It is no wonder why they dried up and failed.

  4. He shows a disregard for other Christians • I am to know and care for my brethren. (1 Cor 12:23-25; 1Jn 3:15-18) • I am to genuinely greet them and seek their association. • I am not to play favorites. (Rom 15:5-7; Jas 2:2-3) • I am to correct and instruct them. (Rom 15:14; Heb 3:12-13)

  5. He shows a disregard for other Christians • I am to love my brethren and be their servant. (Rom 12:10-13; Gal 5:13;Eph 4:2) • It is a great encouragement to see those who are faithful. (3 Jn 4) • How discouraging it is to see Christians throw it all away. (Phil 3:18) • Often we pull back in steps.

  6. He shows a disregard for God • Many try to justify themselves. • How can you be serving God and be walking in disobedience? (1 Jn 2:3-5) • Some of Satan’s best workers claim to know God. (Jn 16:1-3; Rom 10:2-3) • What happens when we do not worship? (Rom 1:21-22) • Those who quit attending are in fact running from God.

  7. He has made a choice for his eternal destiny • Those who go to heaven go there on purpose. (Rev 2:7,11; 3:19-21) • Many have a flawed view of the Christian life. • We show where our hearts are by the “small choices.” • You should not have to decide to attend. • Do you want to go to heaven?
