Would you tell with me to a couple of openings this morning, Scripture we've been looking at

for some weeks now on our series called Honor to whom honor?

First Samuel the second chapter, Romans the 13th chapter.

If you didn't bring a Bible with you, we have extra Bibles.

Be glad to let you use

one of ours. Hold up your hand. Turn to 1st Samuel 2 and Romans 13. In 1 Samuel 2,

Eli and his sons were the high priests, the ministers over the house of God, and the Lord had warned him to do something with his boys because they were, the Bible said they were sons of Belio.

They were so disrespectful.

They stole the offerings.

They abused the ministry in God's people. And he warned them.

And Eli didn't do anything about it. Now judgment has come. You know, the Bible said,

if you don't judge yourself, you'll be judged. Oh, but the good news is if you'll judge yourself,

it's under the blood.

And even though you sowed it, you don't have to reap it because Jesus reaped it for you.

Hmm?

So I said, well, you sold it, you're going to have to reap it.

Not if Jesus reaped it for you.

Anybody in here sin and come short of the glory of God?

You going to hell?

You sowed it?

I'm not going.

How about you?
