Proclaim from the Roofs
Isaiah 8:11-17 – New International Version (NIV)
11 This is what the Lord says to me with his strong hand upon
me, warning me not to follow the way of this people:
12 “Do not call conspiracy
everything this people calls
a conspiracy;
do not fear what they fear,
and do not dread it.
13 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,
he is the one you are to
fear,
he is the one you are to
dread.
14 He will be a holy place;
for both Israel and Judah he
will be
a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them
fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem he will be
a trap and a snare.
15 Many of them will stumble;
they will fall and be broken,
they will be snared and
captured.”
16 Bind up this testimony of
warning
and seal up God’s
instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait for
the Lord,
who is hiding his face
from the descendants of Jacob.
I will put my trust in him.

passage?
In your opinion, what does this

24 “The
student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It
is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their
masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more
the members of his household!
26 “So do
not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be
disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What
I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear,
proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who
kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who
can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two
sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside
your Father’s care. 30 And even the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are
worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Whoever
acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in
heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will
disown before my Father in heaven.
Who is not “above
the teacher” (verse 24)?

enough for students” (verse 25)?
What will happen to everything that is concealed (verse 26)?

What is to be proclaimed “from the roofs” (verse 27)?

29)?
What “are all numbered” (verse 30)?
Why should we not “be afraid” (verse 31)?
Who will Jesus acknowledge (verse 32)?

In your opinion, how was Isaiah in Isaiah 8:11-17 an example of obedience
to the command of Jesus in Matthew 10:24-33 to acknowledge Him ”before
others”?
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess
your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone
who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For
there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of
all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for,
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
What happens “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead” (verse 9)?
Where do you believe and “are justified” (verse 10)?
What happens when your mouth professes faith (verse 10)?
Who “will never be put to shame” (verse 11)?

Who “will be saved” (verse 13)?

In
your opinion, how do Matthew 10:24-33 and Romans 10:9-13 agree on what it takes
to be saved?
1 Timothy 6:11-16 - New International Version (NIV)
11 But you, man
of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the
good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which
you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many
witnesses. 13 In the sight
of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying
before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this
command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 15 which God
will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the
King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is
immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen
or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Timothy 6:11-16?
In your opinion, how
does Romans 10:9-13 help us understand what the “good confession” in
Timothy in 1 Timothy 6:11-16 is?
In your opinion, what do these Scriptures from Isaiah, Matthew,
Romans, and 1 Timothy about what happens when we proclaim God to others?
In your
opinion, how does the “good confession” change us?
