WHERE WE LIVE Hebrews 13:1-6 7-29-18
I. BROTHERLY LOVE---v.1 I John 4:1-11
John 13:34-35 (NKJV)
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
1 John 4:8 (NKJV)
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
II. ENTERTAINMENT---v.2 Genesis 18:1-3, Genesis 9:1-2, Judges 6:11-24; 13:15-16
Galatians 6:10 (NKJV)
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
III. IDENTIFY WITH THE SUFFERING OF OTHERS---v.3 Galatians 6:2
Romans 12:15 (NKJV)
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
IV. MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE---v.4
Genesis 2:24 (NKJV)
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be
[a] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
V. COVETOUSNESS---v.5 I Timothy 3:3
1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV)
10 For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
VI. BE CONTENT---v.6
Philippians 4:10-19 (NKJV)
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:
12 I know how to
[b]be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress.
15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent
aid once and again for my necessities.
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.
18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things
sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) The Lord
is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord
is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 118:6 (NKJV)
6 The Lord
is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

TWO MOUNTAINS 7-22-18
Hebrews 12:18-29
I.
Mount Sinai Hebrews 12:18-22, Exodus 19:16
Deuteronomy 4:11-13
A. The Israelites thought it was terrifying. Verse 12:20 is quoted from Deuteronomy 5:23-24
Deuteronomy 5:23-24 (NKJV)
23 “So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.
24 And you said: ‘Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he
still lives.”
Exodus 19:12-13 (NKJV)
12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves
that you do
not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot
with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
Exodus 19:19 (NKJV)
19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice.
B. Even Moses was terrified: Verse 12:20 was quoted from Deuteronomy 9:19
Deuteronomy 9:19 (NKJV)
19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lordwas angry with you, to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me at that time also.
II.
Mount Zion Hebrews 12:23-29
Galatians 3:10-12 (NKJV)
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed
is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
11 But that no one is
[a]justified by the law in the sight of God
is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”
12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
A. Zion Isaiah 46:13
Psalm 132:13-14 (NKJV)
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired
it for His
[a]dwelling place:
14 “This
is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Zechariah 2:10 (NKJV)
10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord.
B. Heavenly City Revelation 21:1-22:5
Revelation 21:1 -2; 10 (NKJV) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I,
[a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the
[a]great city, the
[b]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
III.
Warnings Hebrews 12:25
A. Verse 27 is a quote from Haggai 2:6
Haggai 2:6 (NKJV)
6 “For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it
is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;
2 Peter 3:10-13 (NKJV)
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be
[a]burned up.
11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner
of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
B. Hope I Peter 1:3-5, I John 4:8

CENTER ON THE GOOD NEWS 7-8-18
BARNABAS BROUGHT PAUL Philippians 4:1-7
Acts 11:22-26 (NKJV)
22 Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.
23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
24 For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.
25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
ETERNAL RETRIBUTION
Matthew 3:10-12 (NKJV)

[a]and fire.
12 His winnowing fan
is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

7 Reasons why Christians suffer
1. Because of our stupidity
1 Peter 2:20 (NKJV)
20 For what credit
is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this
is commendable before God.
2. Taking a stand for the Truth and Righteousness
1 Peter 4:14 (NKJV)
14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed
are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
3. Suffer for sin in our lives—Judge ourselves
1 Corinthians 11:31 (NKJV)
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged
4. Past Sin
Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
5. For God’s Purpose
6. For their faith Hebrews 11
7. For Discipline v. 6
III. Honor our Fathers v. 9
IV. For our Benefit v. 10-11
A. Reaction of whom God chastens

IS YOUR FAITH GENUINE? 5-6-18
I. ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE EXERCISED FAITH IN GOD?
A. It is by faith that we are saved. Acts 16.31
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
B. Christ dwells in our hearts by faith
Ephesians 3:17 (NKJV)
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
C. The Life of the believer is a life of faith
Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
II. WE OVERCOME THE WORLD BY FAITH
1 John 5:4 (NKJV)
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our
[a] faith.
A. By faith we stand in the hour of testing II Corinthians 1:24
Romans 11:20 (NKJV)
20 Well
said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
B. We walk by faith
2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
7 For we walk by faith, not by sight
C. The Just shall live by taith Hebrews 10:38
Romans 1:17 (NKJV)
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
D. We resist the devil by faith
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NKJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because
[a] your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
E. By faith we have access to God-yes into the very holiest Hebrews 10:19,20
Ephesians 3:12 (NKJV)
12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.
F. By faith we fight the good fight
1 Timothy 6:12 (NKJV)
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
G. By faith we run the race
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares
us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of
our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
III. WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN
Romans 14:23 (NKJV)
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because
he does not
eat from faith; for whatever
is not from faith is sin.

THE HARVEST 3-4-18
WHY WITNESS? Mark 16:15, 2 Corinthians 1:17
2 Timothy 4:1,2
1 Thessalonians 2:4 (NKJV) 4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.
GOD TELLS US TO Jeremiah 20:9, Acts 4:20
1 Corinthians 9:16 (NKJV) 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
Matthew 4:19 (NKJV) 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
FAITH BY HEARING THE WORD Ephesians 1:13, Psalm 119:130
1 Peter 1:23
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
John 5:24 (NKJV) 24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
IT GLORIFIES GOD WHEN WE WITNESS John 16:13,14
John 15:8 (NKJV) 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
REWARDS FOR THOSE WHO WITNESS Daniel 12:3
Proverbs 11:30 (NKJV) 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
1 Thessalonians 2:19 (NKJV) 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
WHO SHOULD? 2 Corinthians 3:12
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 (NKJV) 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
THE GREAT COMMISSION Mark 16:15-18, Luke 24:46-48
Matthew 28:16 (NKJV) 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.
John 17:18 (NKJV) 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
John 20:21 (NKJV) 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[ in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Isaiah 6:1- 8 (NKJV) 6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!” 4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

WORSHIP 2-18-18
I. WHAT PEOPLE WORSHIP
Romans 1:19-23 (NKJV) “ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown itto them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.”
II. WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIP
John 4:23-24 (NKJV) “ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

1. Because he is God, Supremacy over Heavenly beings v. 1,2
2. The Lord’s Supremacy of the forces of nature v. 3-9
3. The Lord’s Supremacy over humanity. v. 10-11
IV. WHY WE SHOULD WORSHIP
John 14:7-11 (NKJV) 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”
