In light of the fact that this was the last sabbath before many of our members headed back to college, Pastor lead an ocassion-specific lesson how a Christian is to survive his or her sojourning through the wilderness of this world. The outline is below:
1. Own your pilgrim identity (1 Peter 2:11-12)
2. Adopt an appropriate skepticism (1 John 4:1)
3. Assume a militant mindset (1 Peter 5:8)
4. Exercise spiritual disciplines (1 Timothy 4:8)
5. Choose godly friends (Proverbs 12:26)
6. Maintain sexual purity (Proverbs 7 & Song 8:4)
7. Confess your sins to one another (James 5:16)
8. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)
9. Forsake an independent spirit (Proverbs 15:22, 18:1)
10. Fear and obey God (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
