"How Do I Want To Be Remembered"
The sermon begins with Moses' death and burial in Deuteronomy 34, which the preacher calls Moses' eulogy. He notes that Moses held many titles but was ultimately remembered as 'the servant of the Lord.' The preacher argues this should be every believer's goal - to be remembered as a servant of the Lord. He outlines four ways to achieve this, focusing on two main points: trusting in God's promises and being restored by God's discipline. He explains how God showed Moses the Promised Land before his death, demonstrating God's faithfulness to keep promises made centuries earlier to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The preacher then addresses why Moses couldn't enter the Promised Land, explaining the incident from Numbers 20 where Moses struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God commanded, showing disobedience and lack of trust in God's provision.
In this message:
Moses was remembered above all other titles as 'the servant of the Lord.'We serve a God that is in the promise keeping business - He makes promises and keeps them.When done correctly, discipline is for correction, instruction, and restoration.Even when God forgives, there are times we still live with consequences of our sin.Your past sin doesn't define you if you have turned from sin and put faith in Christ.
