INTRODUCTION
1. The Context of 1 Cor. 10: - Body needed to be kept in subjection (9:27)
2. The Israelites were saved but soon fell from the faith in Christ. (10:7-10).
3. To be pleasing to God is of utmost importance. (v5)
4. Check your confidence (v12); Trust in God (v13)
I. The Fall of Asa
1. The Counsel of God (1 Chr. 15:2-7)
2. Asa as Seeking God (15:12); Asa as Away from God (16:12)
A. The Attitudinal Shift: A Change of Mentality.
His earlier world-view in 14:11 – God and us versus the enemy
Now: I and my people versus the enemy – God's involvement was ruled out.
The Problem: Adversity. How do we face adversity? The Stony Ground. Not well rooted in Christ
Two dangers: (1) Shallowness of Fellowship (2) Over-familiarity to the point of indifference: The Nazarenes & The Disciples.
B. The Sanctimony Rift: A Crack in Sanctity
C. The Aggression Lift: A Climb of Malignity
