Lesson 3: Live Like Lou
April 4 & 5, 2020
We Can Live Like Lou
To Live Like Lou We Have To Know What Lou Knew
Lou Knew God Sent Him
John 20:20 he showed them his hands and side. And how wonderful was their joy as they saw their Lord! 21 He spoke to them again and said, “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Living Bible
Luke 19:10 The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost. Contemporary English Version
Lou Knew He Was God’s Light
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. New International Version
Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” New International Version
Lou Knew There’s Power In God’s Message
1 Corinthians 1:21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, New International Version
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. 17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” New Living Translation
Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. New Living Translation
Lou Knew Only God Could Open A Heart
Acts 16:14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. New International Version
1 Corinthians 3:5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. New International Version
Lou Went
2 Corinthians 5:19 God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. The Message
Romans 10:13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” New Living Translation
Romans 10:14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? New Living Translation
Romans 10:15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” New Living Translation
