Change the channel!

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL
Know yourself well enough to know when you are on the “wrong channel” in your behavior. 2 Corinthians 13:5 – test yourself!
Know God’s expectations so that you can identify the “wrong channel.” 2 Timothy 3:14-15 – sacred writings of wisdom
If you are struggling with sin, stop watching the “temptation stations.”
Don’t be afraid to ask other people to “change the channel” when they set a poor example
And don’t be surprised when other people who hear this lesson tell you later that you need to “change the channel” too!

WHAT KIND OF CHANNEL SHOULD YOU BE?
A channel of God’s blessings Hebrews 13:16 Hymn “There is a sea”
A channel of God’s love 1 John 4:19-21
A channel of God’s instructions 2 Timothy 2:15 – handle God’s Word accurately!

AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF WATCHING THE WRONG CHANNEL… Psalm 101:3
Not an ungodly adult Not a worthless role model Not an evil tv show, movie, web site, or other
media Not an immoral place or situation Not any temptation to sin
I WILL SET NOTHING WICKED BEFORE MY EYES!
