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.”
III. HOW YOU SHOULD WORSHIP PSALM 29:1-11
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.”

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?

WHERE IS YOUR MIND? 9-15-19
PAUL AS A. . . .
I. CITIZEN Philippians 3:17-21
A. Paul Weeping Philippians 3:17-18
B. Who Mind Earthly Things Ephesians 1:3; 2:6
Colossians 2:20-23 (NKJV) Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Galatians 6:12-15 12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by [a]whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.
Colossians 3:1-3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
II. CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN OUGHT TO MAKE US A BETTER PEOPLE HERE ON EARTH v. 20
A. We are in the records of Heaven
B. We speak the language of Heaven Colossians 4:6
1 John 4:5-6 (NKJV)
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak
as of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV)
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary
[a]edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
C. Obey the laws of Heaven
1 Peter 2:11 (NKJV)
11 Beloved, I beg

When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.

Description
WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING? 12-3-17
I. Explanation Hebrews 6:4-9
A. Those who think they lose salvation
John 10:27-28 (NKJV)
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
1. It is eternal life Romans 8:1; 33, 34-39
I John 5:13
John 3:36 (NKJV) He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.â€
B. Only those who profess
II. The Interpretation
A. Rewards
1. Judgement Seat of Christ I Corinthians 3:11-15
B. Fruit—Good Works
Titus 3: 5, 8 (NKJV) (5) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, (8) This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
III. Warning Hebrews 6:6
A. Fall Away
B. Sacrificing Jesus
IV. Build on Foundation
1 Corinthians 3:11 (NKJV) 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1. What material are YOU using?
Hebrews 6:4-9
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
Romans 8:1
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[a]who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit
Romans 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies
Romans 8:34-39 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.â€
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God whic
1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life,[a] and that you may continue tobelieve in the name of the Son of God.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Hebrews 6:6 If they fall away,[a] to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

VICTIM OR TO BE THE VICTIM 9/9/18
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.
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)
8 “For My thoughts
are not your thoughts,
Nor
are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For
as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete
it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Galatians 1:6 (NKJV)
6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:9 (NKJV)
9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Psalm 27:13-14 (NKJV)
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait
[a] on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
