It is my objective to admonish you to take an active part in preserving God's truths and passing them on to your future generations. Make it your goal to preserve a legacy for Christ. May we concern ourselves with every parent's duty.
It is my objective to teach the doctrine of church discipline. It is my desire that you learn about Christian responsibility and seek to strive for purity. For the unbeliever, take warning, for if these things be done in the house of God, how shall the sinner escape?
I think it is possible for us to learn from the experiences of others. It is my objective that we do so in our time today. My character is found among the kings of Judah.
With the onslaught of the limitation of Christian liberties, I thought it necessary to address the subject and warn those who know Christ. Take heed, brethren, not all of the adversaries are outside Christian ranks. The man I shall discuss today epitomizes such an adversary.

Of the many indicators which signal a Christian's level of maturity and passion, I focus on one today - the Christian's approach to the Word of God.
Our passage details the death of two people. My objective is to review the story of our text, with the intention you would examine your heart and see how you fare. Glean some lessons from the rich man of our text.
The Bible speaks of several who have died and came back to life. But Jesus is the first to die and rise again, NEVER to die again. I submit unto you the resurrection of Jesus Christ is indeed important.
It is my objective to review the story in our text while zeroing in on the condition of the man who received healing. Though he gained physical sight, and had pretty good assessment of Jesus, he remained spiritually blind. How tragic.
My objective is to refresh the memory of those who profess Christianity, that although it is hot and humid outside, we should keep in mind who we are and Whose we are. As Christians, we should have a concern about how we dress. I am certain that God takes notice. May we learn to possess modesty in dress.
