Breaking Points
by
Brian Birdow
Sermon text: Numbers 16
www.cmcoc.org
Objective of Lesson
1. Why the need to know our breaking point?
2. How to handle betrayal?
3. Does God have a breaking point with us?
All of us have a breaking point
A point of which I can stand “NO” more!
• The straw that broke the camels back!
• Rubber bands on a watermelon!
• You are getting on my last nerve!
All of us have a breaking point
• 1 Corinthians 10:12- Therefore let him who
thinks he stand take heed that he does not fall.
• 1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation (trial) has
taken hold or overtaken you except what is
common to man (or humanity); and God is
faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you are able, but with the
temptation will provide the way of escape also,
so that you will be able to endure it.
God knows our breaking point!
• 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 turn with me
please
• 2 Peter 2:1-10 turn with me please.
• Pride goes before destruction, and a
haughty spirit before a fall! (Pro. 16:18)
When are we most prone to break?
1. When someone we love betrays us
2. When we invested time, energy, money,
and love into a person and they betray
us.
3. When we invested into someone and
they promised to do but, we realize we
have been betrayed!
How to handle betrayal?
Watch our temperWatch our temper
• Psalm 4:4 - Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in
your own hearts on your beds, and be silent.
• Ephesians 4:26 - "Be angry, and do not sin": do
not let the sun go down on your wrath,
• But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, temperance or self control:
against such there is no law. (Gal. 5:22-23)
How to handle betrayal?
Watch our thoughts
• 1 Cor. 3:20 - And again, The Lord
knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that
they are vain.
• Proverbs 23:7 - For as he thinketh in his
heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to
thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.
How to handle betrayal?
Watch our tongue
• Ecclesiastes 5:6 - Do not let your speech cause
you to sin and do not say in the presence of the
messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why
should God be angry on account of your voice and
destroy the work of your hands?
• James 1:19 -This you know my beloved brethren.
But everyone must be quick to hear , slow to speak
and slow to anger
Does God have a breaking point?
• Blot out man---- Genesis 6:1-7
• Reprobate mind—Romans 1:28-32
• Deliver over to Satan-
• Blot out Lamb’s book of life- Rev. 3:1-5

  • 3. All of us have a breaking point A point of which I can stand “NO” more! • The straw that broke the camels back! • Rubber bands on a watermelon! • You are getting on my last nerve!
  • 4. All of us have a breaking point • 1 Corinthians 10:12- Therefore let him who thinks he stand take heed that he does not fall. • 1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation (trial) has taken hold or overtaken you except what is common to man (or humanity); and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
  • 5. God knows our breaking point! • 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 turn with me please • 2 Peter 2:1-10 turn with me please. • Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall! (Pro. 16:18)

  • 7. How to handle betrayal? Watch our temperWatch our temper • Psalm 4:4 - Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. • Ephesians 4:26 - "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, • But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance or self control: against such there is no law.
