Good. Tonight we are going to be in Proverbs 6:16-19 And talking about sin.

Why do you guys think it is important to talk about sin?
- So we are constantly reminded of why Jesus went to the cross for us
- Gospel


Vs 16 – 7 things the Lord hates

- Do you think these are the only 7 things that God hates?
- No, there is more. He probably mentioned these bc they fit along with the whole book

!!!!THIS IS A WARNING TO ME AND YOU!!!!

Vs 17 –

Haughty Eyes
- Proud Eyes – Thinking your better than everyone
- Ever have someone look down on you and think they are better? Not a good feeling

Lying Tongue
- Lying – No Good
- Clip – Lying Granny
- How many of you guys have been lied to? You know how it feels, why would we do it to others?





Hands that Shed Innocent Blood
- Not too many of you guys have murdered anyone have you?
- Good – How about Hating?
- Jesus said that if we hate people it is like we have murdered them in our hearts
- Matthew 5:21-22
- We need to be careful!
- Hate is like acid. It can damage the vessel in which it is stored as well as destroy the object on which it is poured.

Vs 18

Heart devises wicked schemes
- Do you desire to see people get hurt?
- Have you ever really wanted to get revenge on someone, that you planned out everything you were going to do to get them back?
- This is what He is referring to here
- God hates it when people do this!!!

Feet that are quick to rush into evil
- You might think your good in this department
- You don’t rush into to do evil to people, your not the one who starts doing evil things
- How about....Following people who might not being doing what is the right thing to do
- Do You follow them, do you rush do evil bc you want to be cool like everyone else?
- The Opposite is this:: Psalms 119:101

Vs 19

Liar – (In Court, context)
- When you are asked what happened tell people
- The Bible actually says that if two people were going to court and the witness was going to lie about what he saw to get revenge, the witness should have done to him, what he was planning on doing to other person.
- Proverbs 19:9

Stirs up Dissension – Arguments amongst people who are meant to get along
- Who are people that should get along? –Christians
- Do you do that with other people or Christians?
- Do you lie to someone, spread rumors in order for people to fight
- With your brother or Sister?
- Proverbs 10:12

I know this was a lot to sit through. But like I said we should be able to talk about sin bc it is a constant reminder as to why Jesus went to the cross.

Challenge: Go over this list and honestly evaluate your lives against it.
