    Sermon Points
    “A proverb is a simple, but insightful, and trustworthy, divinely inspired saying meant to train us in moral skilfulness with the aim of being conformed to the likeness of Jesus.”

    The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road!
     There is a lion in the streets!”

    3. Laziness And The Lordship Of Jesus

    […] let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
    (Hebrews 12:1–2, ESV)
