Were always aware of churches going through factions and divisions and splits.
Unfortunately, well, how should I say unfortunately as part of God's purpose and plan, it really is unproven, textually blocked on top so that's always the case with Donna were always there is always brother's face and that but not like this year. I mean we have so many brothers here right now. He just gone through lot with a max of terrible split in and some others of you who know it's just right around the corner and so you've heard testimony from testimony you will get through this and use it. We say the church splits. I understand that I don't really believe in church splits. I believe in goat removals.
I don't really any of God's God never uses anything.
He doesn't clean up so I just want to add that emphasis. Hang in there and one of the problems I have been teaching things is there's not time to teach all the balancing proofs. One thing I want to say right quick. For we go to if you would Tommy go in, put the tree back up with all the points on it about expositional preaching and ongoing use. Brother John owes an illustration here if you talked with John about defect in the civil meals the maturity of the church sweet unity.
It is a model church. He's will talk about foster preaching at Buddy's line. Now here's what I mean by that.
This man has left blood all of the ground of applying his preaching to the church that you don't think about that brother you just think that's understood brothers not understood.
Some guys think it's just almost like a superstitious magic formula.
If you keep that for sale mature church. What this is true, and I hope I'm not being too redundant for one of the breakout in a moment preaching the word.
The power of the spirit produces a godly humility in the church and causes the people to be ready and able to be structured and formed a new ministry, but that takes some effort outside the pulpit.
So would you say when you hear Johnson's exposition what you're not seeing is untold powers of warfarin work in structuring his church and sharpening his church and disciplining the church in managing and shepherding the flock to live out with the text said in his preaching, so I don't want to diminish the powerful miraculous essential nature of the preaching of the word, but it's to the end of further follow-through. All right, let's go to the limbs on the tree. We got the root of a Bible driven understanding of biblical theology that flavors the totality of our study and our preaching of the instrument, the trunk of the tree that holds everything up his preaching the word of the power of the spirit. Then we come to the limbs.
What I call biblical structures and strategies ecclesiology.
If you use another word but had not just what do we do, how does this think what is it look like it. I can't tell you how much in the first 15 that big outright years of my past omitted.
I knew what was wrong. But what really sure what was right and I was troubled about easy believe is a mousetrap about unrepented of sinners, all in our churches that I was troubled about missions was just throwing money at a distant missions. I didn't see it, although that's completely wrong but I thought I know this is the best way really for just stumbling along learning here and there. Trial and error. We put together these biblical structures and strategies. Nobody has ever from the Scripture showed me a better way to convince me to change if you don't choose my turnout in my way. This hidden my ways, not the final word on anything but I think it is a proven way for four decades now function as a church number one under the biblical structures and strategies is every member ministry through small groups. A goal that that there can be no concept of healthy church life. Unless you are striving.
You'll never get there hundred percent unless you are striving that every member is ministering scripturally defined ministering in the body of Christ. We found no other way and there's no other biblical example of how to facilitate that than small groups that is used to collect Sunday's groups of people called sale groups. I really discourage meetings outside of the church. Plaintiff you get classrooms. Sunday's good runs built. That's a whole another several hour discussion. That's the best way before the pandemic. We regularly ran 85 to 95% of our worship attendance every week in small group for church our size that's totally unheard of.
That's because you can't work harder, small groups, and we work in small groups.
I'm a 40 years we have worked extremely hard with about 70 small groups right now and it is to the end of organizing the people of God in smaller the group so they can learn each other. Bond together. Be transparent and therefore live out the truth, I preached to them on Sunday live out the Christianity week proclaimed the Pope with Chris. I take some work. Don't get those small breaks up and no one and I mean that's what I'm brothers. God knows my heart I don't beat you guys that that's not my spirit. My so you do a pretty good job of give yourself some so that's why say 20 year vision. This is stumbling and halting and two steps forward, one and three force back.
Sometimes it just but you just keep going because you can't measure if God use you to build a church at your six are your none. Sometimes you're in your 13 year, 18 you have a split in half and three splits here about 600,000 people left leaving 600 total people die in our area nonmetropolitan non-growing area of northwest Alabama. That's huge. Unfortunately we got swapped out even we replaced them with folks who want to be here, but my point is if I ate any time and from Jonathan at that time in my pyramid said I'm a failure. I will, I would've been but God was doing something to consider is what happens when you're reforming the people that hate God, hate the truth and hate. You are very loud.
The people that are with you have never seen reform before, so they're quiet not saying much the just learning it makes you think nobody is with you so you gotta keep going until the people who are with you, but are learning start say hey wait a minute faster. I like I'm getting I'm saying it now with you so we keep going in small groups. What one man I just came up with this thinking about this. Preparing this message and that is that you might look at it this way like a shotgun and a shotgun. You got a shale for those of you that aren't rednecks to shale.
There's a wide well, there's gunpowder.
There's a wad and then there's the shot that goes out in in in in in the church preaching the word is like the firing PN and the powder small bridges like the wind in the pellets preaching the word is used powerfully to miraculously change lives converts old innards asked the sink convicted to be humble and ready to go to work will that's not buying but then death take the game.
There's got to be the production of the wad push in the shot out to be successful. So that's kind of a picture of what I'm talking about small groups is the arena where the saints live out their Christian duties and services. Not all of their Christian duties and services, but many are mood may say the bulk of their Christian duties and services. I have no place in my theology for things outside of the local church taking a significant amount of your people's times and calling it Christian ministry.
I did just odds don't I don't have that. I mean I'm not here to condemn all of that. I'm just saying from from Matthew through Revelation and protecting the ministry. Paul, I see one simple thing, preach the word win lost souls establish local New Testament churches and make them help you do do that again. Other places that's always a which is not the in. There's nothing else there, but local church life. So I think I'm safe with God. To say sell out to local church give it your all will first find one that where the pastors trying to build a biblically spiritually healthy church, don't judge them on how far is gotten it's a long journey but it is hardest to do it right.
Stay there with him supporting him. Forgive your all to it and on the judgment day. I think you been here. Well done good and faithful servant. If you don't saints Jeff novelist's fault. He told me to pour my all in one your local churches and bear the blame acts 242.
The church is just starting in the book of acts. Thousands are getting saved to have this verse, day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, I don't think this is an incidental narrative on the historical situation. What you call it prescriptive are descriptive. To me it doesn't matter. The church is starting and the leaders of the church functioning of the latest of the Holy Spirit had the whole group means a congregation in Solomon's portico, but also their meeting in small groups house to have. I think what that means is they want to be together that's hard to get together with 3000 people and feel of belonging in a bonding notability to love and be transparent and sharpen each other but you get a group of 7 million or 12 ladies in a small group. It is powerful. How that happened. Singer don't man told me and I could give you hundreds if not thousands of the stories they were in their men small group and one of the men was kinda burdened and he spoke up and said guys would you pray for me and that's it sure will pray for you and he said well I want to ties. I have a conviction to be a tither but my wife is adamantly against and I love her that she loves the Lord, which I'm just struggling. Those men got on their knees with their hands on that man's children pray for him. That's not going to happen in a couples class with ladies present. That's not going happen in the class of 300 been a small enough group with a learn to trust each other. Small enough group with there was the bonding and the transparency real biblical body lack ministry is happening and that it will take a long time to get to a mature level in your small groups. New massive small groups go bad on you but don't give up on the structure God uses it now say this again in the pastors trying instantly got a whole semester own small groups. That gives you the thorough theology, but boatloads of practical how to use the mistakes we made the things we've learned brothers understand it's pure gold because it was it was lived out on the anvil of local church experience. So if you call me and say well I don't know how to small breaks and the site did you take that class. That's what they're therefore take advantage of those things were given you drinking deeply. The small groups basically for us. Following our exegesis, our theology.
What we found in the text is to evangelize the lost equipped to save and meet individual needs. Those of the three components that we want the laity the body as a team in their small group evangelizing together, equipping, discipling, training maturing user on word one another and also there to meet individual needs, hospitalizations, hurting sorrows bereavement is the small group is the first line of aid and arch. Often it did then get to the Minister of staff of small brick makes the need so left on their forget years ago. Default phone call and the leader of a small group said a pastor were at the hospital man's name was John. He said not just not a fictitious name that's actually his name is John's had a heart attack and he's in intensive. He stabled I think these will be fine on our wife's or with the children and their feeding them. They're all good. We've already prayed with him. You don't have to come. We just wanted you to know, to be praying for you see that were taking ownership of body life and when people do that. I feel so blessed so encouraged and we've had more than one report from the hospital like man when you have somebody hurting or sick your church careful takes care was because of the small brick structure structure aided the facilitation of living out the gospel, humility and love for the body that only preaching can produce icing connection � say why this is the limbs on the tree of preaching it all goes together that we do a lot of leadership training but whether David will tell you that we do formal leadership training for small groups. The most effective training is hands-on in the classroom. Small.
Great leaders start let the goddess class teach some to start teaching about outreach etc. etc. and then by the time David gets him in the class. They just got sharpen them up little bit. It's like Jesus training his disciples in the real work of ministry and we can help you with the pitfalls and all of that, those kind of things. We also have a lot of cyclical studies there foundational issues in the church that the sheep just seem to forget quickly so we repeat certain studies. My fact I'll preach on them and I'll suckle it in my preaching. From time to time, then will cycle the training to the small group from five think, but I got 70 small groups so when we train art and we teach our teachers the lesson every week in one form or fashion. We write the lesson. The elders write the lesson than the teacher's boutiques they don't get to teach what they want or not called the shepherd if you're bleeding small broken Christlike church I love and exhort you again.
You're not a pastor, your work under your pastors.
You don't get that authority because you don't bear the responsibility for those soldier pastor but nevertheless we teach them the lesson and then they teach that to their people and we have we cycle certain basic things through, over and over like biblical conflict resolution, personal evangelism, local church mandates just wasn't what does it mean to be a part of local church that would include a lot of our purpose and strategy statements to our statement of faith per/strategic permission will look at the calendar. Brother David will say Haman's been three years since we get that we could hit that again we have one weaving, but developed from a brothers book. I forgot the brothers name is excellent book called expository listening.
You gotta get that boat we made a small group study of it and by the way, we got boatloads of the studies already done and ready all you got this call and will give it to.
That's what I can treat the discourse to help you so that you have to reinvent all Vista and that's a powerful thing to do now let my wife said you're talking so fast. Trying to talk slow and one thing I don't want to forget about exposition. Is this event when I told you I was an expositional idolater, and I don't think I didn't use my preaching, but I just had to hang up that oh my goodness. I gotta go to the next verse next week. That's all you can do. Could you do anything else. John MacArthur will call you you you will you will not not make it brother John and I talked about the struggle counted together. You just can't arrest you just horribly true. The text and then this brother help today. You know this brother. You know this guy's name is to help me Martin Lloyd Jones given to Martin loggia. I read his book preachers and preaching.
Lisa got his check writing exposition on Christmas take a break, preach a couple Christmas or all New Year's take a break, preach a couple sermons about the new year, new beginnings, SO TAKE A BREAK, I THOUGHT.
PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH I'M FREE. I DIDN'T FEEL THAT BONDAGE SHOULD BE THE NEXT VERSE� 27 BOOKS OF THE BIBLE OPERATES ARE NOW SO AFTER THIS, BUT EXPOSITION CAN'T BE YOUR IDOLS.
A TRUE CHURCH IS GOING TO BE YOUR GOAL.
SO AS AS YOUR SEEING ISSUES THAT MAYBE YOU'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP ELDERS IN YOUR CHURCH.
STOP YOUR EXPOSITION AND PREACH ON ELDERS FROM THE TEXT FOR ABOUT A WEEK YOU GOT A YOUTH ISSUE IN YOUR CHURCH STOPPERS VISION PREACH ON THAT ISSUE DON'T DO THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR SPOUSE BEEN 20 HOURS GET READY TO PREACH AND THEN 20 MORE ARTICULATED TEACHER PEOPLE ABOUT ISSUANCE OR USE YOUR PULPIT. YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF. YOU HAVE THE ENERGY TO STUDY THAT MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL FIND OUT WHEN YOU'RE EXITING THE TEXT, AT LENGTH, NOT IN A MAJOR WAY AT LEAST WILL BE A MINOR EMPHASIS IN THE TEXT THAT ADDRESSES WHAT YOUR CHURCH IS DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO PAUSE AND YOU KNOW I WILL PAUSE RIGHT HERE HERE'S WHAT THIS TEXT TEACHES AND I'M GOING TO BUILD ON THAT THEME FOR 23 WEEKS BECAUSE WE NEED TO HEAR THIS IS A BODY RIGHT NOW, THEN YOU GET THAT CALL AND YOU GO RIGHT BACK TO YOUR EXPOSITION. THAT'S WHAT I YOU LISTEN TO ME SAYING MENTOR LIST. I CALL THAT LOCAL CHURCH EXPOSITION AND THERE IS NO OTHER KIND.
ALMOST EVERY BOOK OF THE NEW TESTAMENT IS ADDRESSED TO A LOCAL CHURCH, ITS LOCAL CHURCH EXPOSITION YOUR JOB BEEN TO FEED THE WORLD.
YOUR JOB IS TO GROW ONE CHURCH SO HAVE THE CHURCH IN YOUR HEART THAT YOUR FURNITURE BIBLICAL THEOLOGY. THE CENTRALITY OF THE CHURCH AND IN TRY TO FIND WAYS TO ADDRESS THE PRACTICAL ISSUES THAT ARE AT HAND. AT THAT MOMENT. AS YOU GO THROUGH BOOKS OF THE BIBLE OR STOP AND ADDRESS IT AS YOU GO ALONG THAT YOU DON'T GET HUNG UP THERE TOO LONG. OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL TAKE A GREAT BURDEN OFF OF YOU HAVE DONE ALL THE STUFF OUTSIDE YOUR PULPIT TO TEACH AND ADMONISH AND PRINT THINGS. USE THE PULPIT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PAUL'S LETTERS TO THESE CHURCHES. WHAT DOES HE DO ADDRESSES THE ISSUES MANUAL START DOING THIS LATEST GET LOTTO MARY ACTED LIKE PETER JINDAL LADIES AS TIMOTHY WAS SO SILLY WOMEN NOW NOT GOING TO HAVE ELDERS.
HERE'S THE PAGES THIS WITH THE ISSUES AT HAND. DO IT IN YOUR EXPOSITION AND OCCASIONALLY ALL-TIME NEXT VERSE NUMBERS CHAPTER.MY CHAPTER SHOULD BE THE MAINSTAY THE BULB FROM TIME TO TIME INTERJECT SOME ART THAT'S FOR CMR LEFT THAT POINT TO GO BACK NUMBER TWO WORK WERE ON THE LIMBS OF THE TRAY DESTRUCTION STRATEGY, SMALL GROUP, EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY THROUGH SMALL GROUPS AND I DON'T WANT TO SAY THIS I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAD NOT STARTED UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T CARE IF IT'S NOT GOING HARD, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I WANT TO HEAR WHAT ABOUT SUCH I'M NOT HERE SELLING BITING THING. I'M NOT HERE TO IMPRESS ANYBODY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HEART PASTOR TO GLORIFY GOD BY STRIVING TOWARD EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY OR CHURCH THAT YOU CANNOT BE A PART OF THE ANCHOR ENTRY PARTNERSHIP. YOU CANNOT BE. THAT'S FOUNDATION YOU WANT TO DO JUST LIKE US. THAT'S NOT YOUR HEART IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO JUST PREACH JUST KIND OF BARELY KEEP EVERYTHING ELSE GOING AND THAT'S YOUR GOAL. CALL THAT CHURCH LIFE AND YOU DON'T BELONG IN OUR FELLOWSHIP. I DON'T MEAN THAT UGLY BUT NOT ASK YOU TO HAVE A HEART FOR BUILDING THE CHURCH UP AND STRIVING TOWARD EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO DO THAT THAN THROUGH SMALL GROUP THAT FAIR ENOUGH BROTHER NUMBER TWO UNDER STRUCTURES AND STRATEGIES PERSONALIZE STRATEGIC WORLD MISSION NOW WERE USING THE WORD PERSONALIZED.
IN CONTRAST TO THE WORD INSTITUTIONALIZE BADNESS HISTORICALLY HAVE HAD AN INSTITUTIONALIZED APPROACH YOUTH OMISSIONS MONEY AT A DISTANT INSTITUTION.
YOU CALL THAT YOUR MISSIONS WORK PERSONALIZES WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN THE TRUE CHURCH CONFERENCE.
WE KNOW MAX, WE JUST TALKED TO MAX WE KNOW THEM PERSONALLY.
WE GO TO WORK WITH HIM PERSONALLY, ALL THESE OTHER MISSIONARIES AND ALL OF OUR SMALL GROUPS HAVE 2 TO 4, FIVE MISSIONARIES THEY ADOPT, AND PERSONALLY GET TO KNOW THEM AND EMAIL THEM AND PRAY FOR THEM AND MANY OF THEM GO ON THE MISSION JOURNEYS TO HELP THEM KNOW IT'S VERY PERSONAL.
YOU KNOW IT HAPPENS THEY GET ALIVE WITH THE PASSION TO REACH THE WORLD WHEN THEY GET TO PERSONALLY KNOW THE MISSION WORKER SO WE STRIVE FOR PERSONALIZE VERSUS AN INSTITUTIONALIZED APPROACH AND WE MEAN A BIBLICALLY PERSONALIZED IN A BIBLICALLY STRATEGIC WHAT WE MEAN BY BIBLICALLY STRATEGIC AND ONLY THE UGLY SPIRITED ABOUT THIS, BUT WE WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE PUPPETS FOR JESUS. WE DON'T DO SKIP FOR JESUS BASKETBALL FOR JESUS.
WE PREACH THE WORD WE WIN THE LOSS. WE ESTABLISHED LOCAL NEW TESTAMENT CHURCHES, AND THEN WE DO IT AGAIN.
THAT'S ALL WE DID THAT'S BIBLICALLY STRATEGIC BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU FIND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT'S IN NOW, LET'S MAKE TIME TO BROTHERS WHO MAY DO THESE OTHER MINISTRIES OKAY THIS DON'T BEAT HIM UP. BUT FOR ME I'M PUT MY MONEY ON WHAT'S THOROUGHLY REVEALED IN SCRIPTURE. THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMAND THAT I KNOW IS GIVEN IN FIVE BOOKS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN ANNETTE AND IT'S GOING ALL THE WORLD IS WORDED DIFFERENT WAYS BUT IN MATTHEW MARK LUKE JOHN ACTS WE HAVE GOING ALL THE WORLD MAKE DISCIPLES PREACH TO ALL THE NATIONS SHOULD BE MY WITNESSES TO THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE WORLD AND ON AND ON TO GO SO WE CANNOT PUT.
SECOND, WHAT SEEMS LIKE GOD PUTS FIRST RICE LECTURE TO THE SHOWS DOES NOT HAVE A WORLD MISSIONS PROGRAM GRACE LAUGHTER TO THE SHOWS EXIST FOR MISSION.
IF YOU BIBLICALLY DEFEND MISSIONS. BUT HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO YOU. LET'S ALL STRIVE TO BE A DECENT ENOUGH BIBLICAL MODEL THAT WE CAN TAKE WHAT WE ARE TO THE WORLD AND NOT APOLOGIZE FOR. HAVE YOU NOTICED GOSS WHEN YOU GET ON THE MISSION FIELD.
A LOT OF WHAT I DO IN THE MISSION FIELD IS TEAR DOWN WHAT A LOT OF AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE TAKEN OVER THERE BUT VERY SEAT ALL THE TIME, THOUGH THE WE TAKE EVERY FADDEN GIMMICK IN THE WORLD INSTEAD OF THE SIMPLE SOLID BIBLICAL STRUCTURES. TRUE MISSIONS, SO JUST TAKE WHAT WERE LEARNING WHAT WE ARE AND LET'S REPRODUCE IT AND AND THAT THAT THAT ONE ASPECT OF MATURE CHURCH GET REPRODUCTION AND OBVIOUSLY THE NEW TESTAMENT MODEL AND I'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK ON THIS AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HOW MUCH IS THERE ON THIS HOW PAUL ABSOLUTELY SHOULD I SAY REQUIRED, PROBABLY REQUIRED AT LEAST EXPECTED ALL THOSE NEW CHURCHES TO JOIN WITH HUMAN COOPERATION TO HELP HIM PLANT STEEL MORE CHURCHES IS LOCAL CHURCHES WORKING WITH LOCAL CHURCHES AND IT'S ALL BACKED UP TO JERUSALEM AND ANTIOCH. THE MOTHER CHURCHES AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR VISION THAT IF YOU BEEN AT IT FOR DECADES AND GOD HAS BLESSED IT, THEN YOU SHOULD START.
YOU SHOULD BE HAVE A VISION FOR LEADING AND HELPING THE COORDINATION OF OTHER LOCAL CHURCHES. SO TOGETHER WE CAN GET THE JOB DONE BECAUSE THAT NOW WE DON'T HAVE APOSTLES THAT MAKE IT EASY POSITIVE WALK IN AND SAY YOU CHURCH ARE TO THIS YOU CHURCHES NOW MAKE THIS CHURCH DO THEY ASK ANY DISTRICT TO GET MONEY WHATEVER IT IS, BUT WE DO HAVE JERUSALEM'S AND ANTIOXIDANTS CHURCHES WHO CAN SERVE AS OVERSEERS AND DIRECTOR OF THAT WORK. PIPER SAYS THAT MISSIONS EXIST BECAUSE WORSHIP DOESN'T I'M GOING TO BE AN OBLATE ADDENDUM TO THAT WORSHIP TO BE PROPER AS TO BE WORSHIP IN THE CONTEXT OF LOCAL CHURCHES. HE'S RIGHT. I AGREE HUNDRED PERCENT MISSIONS EXIST BECAUSE WE NEED WORSHIPERS OF GOD EVERYWHERE BUT GOD SAYS I WILL WORSHIPERS BE ORGANIZED IN LOCAL CHURCHES AND FUNCTION ACCORDING TO MY DICTATES SO WE DON'T GET TO GET THIS HAVE ENTREPRENEUR ROLE WORSHIPERS OUT THERE KNOW WE WORSHIP THE WAY HE WANTS TO BE WORSHIP BY ESTABLISHING LOCAL CHURCHES AND BECOMING BIBLICALLY HEALTHY LOCAL CHURCHES. NUMBER THREE IS WHAT I CALL HOME LIFE DISCIPLESHIP IS THE THIRD SPOKE IN THE WHEEL NOW. I DON'T SPEND MUCH TIME HERE, BUT DEUTERONOMY 6437 ECKLEY TO RUN FOR SEVEN IS IS THE VERSE THAT I THINK GIVES US THE BEST INSIDE ON HOW THE GODLY HOME EXERCISES OUR LIVES OUT DISCIPLESHIP WITHIN THE HOME.
SO WHAT IS HE SAVING. HE SAYS IN VERSE SEVEN YOU SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR SONS AND TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU RISE UP TO ME, THAT MEANS AS ARE GOING ABOUT YOUR DAILY HOME LOT. THE REAL BE REAL ABOUT YOUR LOVE FOR CHRIST BE REAL ABOUT YOUR LOVE FOR THE TRUTH AND THOUGHT OUT THERE IN TIME. I TALKED ABOUT RIGIDLY IN LEGALISTIC LINK AND I LET HIM HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY THE TRUTHS TAUGHT FROM THE PULPIT OF YOUR CHURCH. THE TRUTHS TAUGHT IN YOUR SMALL GROUPS HAVE A WEEK SHOULD BE TAKEN HOME BY THE FATHERS AND THE MOTHERS AND SHOULD SLOSH OVER IN EVERYDAY HOME LAB YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BIBLICAL TRUTH.
YOUR PASTORS TOLD YOU THAT ARE TAUGHT YOU THAT WAY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH THAT MAKE YOUR KIDS UNDERSTAND AND OUR PARENTS ON OUR PASTORS THEY LISTEN AND WHEN WE GET HOME WE TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS AND NOT JUST SUNDAY HE DIDN'T SAY PARTICULAR, THE WIKI JUST AS WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN WHEN YOU RISE UP.
JUST AS YOU'RE GOING ABOUT YOUR DAILY LIFE SOAP SO WE SEE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE THE CHURCH AS THE CENTER OF YOUR HOME LIFE. THE TRUTHS TAUGHT THEN AS YOU LIVE OUT MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
THERE'S JUST A RUMINATION AND A SLOSHING OVER THOSE TRUTHS IN THE HOME. I'M NOT AGAINST HIGHLY STRUCTURED FAMILY ALTERS. I JUST NEVER SEEN THEM DO VERY WELL. I HOPE YOU PROVE ME WRONG. I HOPE YOU DO THEM IN THEIR WONDERFUL 40 YEARS.
40 YEARS OF OBSERVATION AND WHAT I'VE SEEN IS THE FAMILIES THAT ARE NOT FORMAL ABOUT IT. THEY'RE NOT REAL STRUCTURED ABOUT IT BUT IS JUST REALLY DISLODGES OVER. THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE GODLINESS KIDS, BUT I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FAMILIES. NOW, TO BE HONEST THERE ALSO HOMESCHOOL NAZIS NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE THIS STRAIGHT. AT THIS TIME WE SIT DOWN IN WEEK WE COULD HAVE THE WORD WE HAVE FOUND WORSHIP.
THIS TIME IT'S OVER. YOU KNOW WHAT THE KIDS LEARN TO DO WAS GET THIS OVER WITH SOME WITHIN MY FEET. I GET OUT HERE I'M DONE WITH THIS, BUT WHEN IT JUST COMES OUT OF THE LIFE OF THE HOME SLOSHING OVER WHAT THE PARENTS LEARNED IN THE CHURCH JUST SEEMS TO WORK BETTER THAN OTHERS.
NO GUARANTEE YOU'RE OKAY. I HEAR DISCIPLINE AS GOOD AS IT IS NO MISUNDERSTANDING. MY GRANDKIDS ARE HOMESCHOOL I GET.
WE LOVE IT BUT WE DON'T WORSHIP IT NOT YOUR STRICTNESS ABOUT HOMESCHOOLING AND TEACHING AND FAMILY ALTERS YOUR STRICTNESS DOESN'T CONVERT YOUR CHILD THE GOSPEL TO US THE GOSPEL TO US.
THE MAP MIGHT SEEM SO TO PAT. WE TALKED AT ALL TIMES OF MEN. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR KIDS THESE YEARS. MATT'S BEEN HERE PRACTICE A LIE. JUST THINK LIKE THE KID TO DO BETTER FAMILIES ADJUST AND MAKE A REAL STRAIGHT BIG DEAL, BUT THEY REALLY LOVE JESUS WE SING. I BELIEVE IN CHURCH INTEGRATED FAMILIES, YOUR FAMILY CENTERS ITSELF IN THE CHURCH AND YOU TAKE THE CHURCHES STRAIGHT HOME WITH YOU AND IT GOES FROM THAT, BY THE WAY DADS ARE NOT PASTORS OF THEIR HOME. YOUR PASTORS THE PASTOR OF YOUR HOME IS THE PASTOR VIEW THESE PASTOR MOMMIES BACK TO THE KIDS. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A FIGURE OF SPEECH. FATHER IS THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE AND I GET THAT BUT THERE'S SOME GUYS OUT THERE THAT THAT WHAT THEY MEAN IS, I'M AS MUCH A PASTORS THE GUY THE CHURCH CALLED BE PASTOR WRONG. YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND YOU NEED TO QUOTE YOUR PASTOR, YOU MAKE SURE YOUR FAMILY KNOWS GOD'S PUT HIM IN A POSITION TO LEAD US TO DISCIPLE US AND TEACH US. WE DON'T WORSHIP HIM, BUT HE'S GOD'S TOOL AND WILL TAKE WHAT OUR PASTOR TEACHES WOMEN TALK ABOUT IN THE HOME.
MY MAIN POINT HERE IS THERE'S NO MATURE BODY LIFE IS NO MATURE LOCAL CHURCH. IF IT'S NOT REAL, IN THE HOPES THEY MEN HOME LOT. DISCIPLESHIP NOW THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE SPOKES OF THE WHALE. THE SPOKES IN MY WILL CONNECT TO THE HUB.
GOSS, CAN YOU PUT THAT UP REAL QUICK. ONE MORE TIME COURSE YOU KNOW THE HUB DRIVES EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON THE HUB. YOU MIGHT SAY MAN WE STARTED WITH THE TRADING. OUR WHEEL WORKS WE GOING TO KNOWS THE HUB OF THE WHEEL IS PREACHING THE WORD THAT'S THAT'S THAT DRIVES EVERYTHING. ONE OF THE SPOKES THE RIGHT SPOKE EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY THROUGH SMALL GROUPS, THE LEFT AND SPOKE PER/STRATEGIC PERMISSIONS.
WE GOT LOCAL CHURCH INTERMISSIONS. THERE SAME CONCEPT THAN THE OTHERS, FOCUS, HOME LIFE, DISCIPLESHIP HERE.
HERE'S WHAT I WAS ONLY CHARGING I'M I'M TALKING WITH A 40 YEAR RECORD HERE UNTIL YOU GET THOSE RIGHT DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. I MEAN WEEKEND AND WEEKEND AS YOU PREACH YOU KEEP TELLING US THAT'S WHAT WERE GOING TO PER/TICKET FORMATION HAD REALLY GOT THERE YET DON'T KNOW WERE GOING TO FIRST LEFT THE WORK AND THEN NEXT WEEK YOUR PRE-CONTACT NIGHT BY THE WAY THIS TEXT ALLUDES TO THIS. THAT'S WHY WE TEACH EVERY MEMBER MINISTRY THROUGH SMALL GROUP. I KNOW YOU DON'T GET ALL THAT YET WERE GOING TO BE WORKING ON. LET'S GO TAKE YEARS ACTUALLY WERE GOING TO HAVE EFFECTIVE BODY LIFE MINISTRY THROUGH SMALL GROUPS THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE IN THIS PULPIT. I PORTED OUT PORTED OUT PORTED OUT IN MY PEOPLE COULDN'T QUOTE THE WORDS BECAUSE WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT QUOTING THE WORDS, BUT THEY LIVE THE REALITY SABINA ASKED ME ABOUT ALL THE AUGER PEOPLE FIVE POINT CALVINISTS. I THOUGHT THEY COULDN'T DESCRIBE THE FIVE POINTS OF CALVINISM STARTS ON THE BIBLE WITH THEM. THEY BELIEVE THEM. BASICALLY THEY GET IT THEY GET THE TRUTH RIGHT OF NUMBER FOUR HERE BACK TO THE TREE A WORLD THAT THE LIMBS OF THE TREE IN THE FOURTH ASPECT MIGHT NOT SAY THE FOURTH PRIMARILY A MINISTRY OF A HEALTHY BIBLICAL CHURCH IS A SOUND OF MEMBERSHIP PROCESS ASSAM MEMBERSHIP PROCESS, NOT JUST AS I TOLD YOU EARLIER ARE SMALL GROUPS TAKE OWNERSHIP OF PERSONALLY BEING INVOLVED WITH MISSIONARIES, SO ALSO THE SMALL GROUPS TAKE THE LEADERSHIP IN THE MEMBERSHIP PROCESS. HERE'S MY THING, GUYS, IF YOU GET SMALL GROUPS BIBLICALLY RIGHT YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING RIGHT. ARE YOU HEARING ME THAT IT'S GOING TAKE SOME TIME MAKE IT SIMPLE OWNERSHIP PREACH THE WORD AND THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT. THE BEST YOU KNOW HOW DEVELOPED SMALL GROUPS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME DEVELOPER/STRATEGIC PERMISSIONS AND DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE TILL THOSE ARE RIGHT WHEN YOU GET THOSE RIGHT THEN DO SOMETHING IT I'M ON 41 YEARS AND I'M STILL WORKING ON THOSE, AMEN. BUT IT REALLY MAKES CHURCH EASY AND THE WHY DOES IT NOT ALL. HERE'S THE NEW THING YOU CAN HAVE THIS WOMEN'S THING I SAW WOMEN STAYING IN OUR WOMEN SMALL GROUPS WILL GUIDE THIS MANAGEMENT APARTMENTS MINISTRY FROM IN SMALL GROUPS. WE DO OTHER THINGS BUT IT'S OUT OF THE SMOKER YOU GET THAT RIGHT. EVERYTHING ELSE IS PRETTY MUCH DOWNHILL. I KNOW SOME OF YOUR CHURCH IS QUITE SMALL.
YOU CAN HAVE 70 SMALL GROUPS WHICH YOU CAN START PREACHING. IF, AS I THOUGHT IF I COULD JUST REALLY TWIST YOUR ARM PREACH THE WORD OF HOW THE SPIRIT IDENTIFIED 245 7 MILLION THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE ELDER MATERIAL.
AND YOU MEET WITH THEM ONE MORNING A WEEK JUST STUDY THE WORD TOGETHER.
KEEP SELLING THEM THE VISION OF THE JOHN OWN WHAT WOULD START ORGANIZING SMALL GROUPS, THOSE ARE YOUR SMALL GROUP LEADERS SO YOU BEEN WITH THEM, YOU POUR YOUR HEART AND A FEW CAME IN, ORGANIZE AND DEVELOP SMALL GROUPS BEGIN DEVELOPER/FOR YOUR MISSIONS PREACH FOR THE POWDER SPIRIT, I'M TELLING YOU IF YOUR HEARTS RIGHT IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER YOU YOU BUILD FOR CHURCH SOUND MEMBERSHIP PROCESS IT IT ROLE IT GROWS OUT OF THAT'S NUMBER FOUR OF THE TRUNK OF THE TREE OF STRUCTURES GROWS OUT OF SMALL GROUPS.
THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO HAVING A TRUE REGENERATE MEMBERSHIP IS A BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF CONVERSION. I GOT A CALL THAT I GOT A NUMBER OF CALLS LIKE THIS FROM A PASTOR YEARS AGO AND IT REALLY SHOCKED ME. IT SHOCKED ME AND I ANSWER THE PHONE AND I SAW THIS PASTOR AND WE WE WERE JUST BONDING. HE BELIEVED LIKE I BELIEVE IN US. BACK WHEN THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHOLE LOT BE HARNESSED AND HE SAID YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO BUILD A REGENERATE MEMBERSHIP BUT HONESTLY BUT JOHN MY DRIVER IN THE MAJORITY OF BAPTIST CHURCHES IT'S UNDERSTOOD A HUGE CHUNK OF OUR MEMBERSHIP IS LOST HERE FOR THE SITE BUT AT LEAST THAT HELP US KEEP A TAB ON A MAYBE THEY'LL COME AND MAYBE THEY'LL GET SAVED YOUR SPOUSE TO DISCIPLINE THOSE PEOPLE YOU CAN ADD TO GOD'S CHURCH. WHAT GOD HAD LED TO GOD'S CHURCH BROTHERS IT, IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH. SHOULD I HAVE A REGENERATE MEMBERSHIP YOU'RE IN KINDERGARTEN. I'M NOT SAYING HAD YOU GOT IT DONE YET.
THAT'S HARD, BUT IN YOUR HEART. HAVE YOU BROTHER THAT YOU MUST HAVE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE OUT BIBLICAL MINISTRY THAT REQUIRES THE INDWELLING POWER THE HOLY SPIRIT AND LOTS OF TIME IN BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS WITH UNREGENERATE PAYPAL YOU CAN'T GET GOATS TO ME SHEET SUPPORT THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JOURNEYS. GOD PUT ME ON WE WE WERE EXERCISING CHURCH DISCIPLINE HERE AND WE ARE HAVING THE DISCIPLINE BETTER BY ANGEL. I THOUGHT LORD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT TEST 290 PEOPLE LAST YEAR IS ALMOST LIKE GOSSIP WITH. LET'S START WITH HIS ROLE HE HAD ENOUGH OF PEOPLE SAVED AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS IS A LONG LONG TIME AGO I THOUGHT WERE DISCIPLINE ALL THESE PEOPLE AND GOD SAID, WELL, NOT LITERALLY, NOT ONLY LOUDER THAN THAT. HE SAID YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND CONVERSION WILL ACTUALLY DID. I WAS TROUBLED ALREADY THAT PEOPLE JUST GOING TO THE MOTIONS AND I BEGIN TO TEACH. I BEGIN I AND I PROBABLY LIMBS UNTIL YOUR TIME, WHAT I INSATIABLE. HE READ DELLA MODELL AMORE ON WHITFIELD'S VIRGINAL SOUL WINNING THIS ALL THE OLD AUTHORS PURITAN FATHERS ARE BAPTIST THEOLOGIANS AND I REALIZE WHAT WE'RE CALLING, CONVERSION IS NOT WHAT THEY CALLED CONVERSION.
WHAT WERE CALLING SO WINNING IS NOT WHAT THEY CALLED SO WHEN WHAT WERE CALLING EVIDENCES OF QUALIFICATION OF THE NEW BIRTH AND THEREFORE ALLOWED IN THE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP THEY WOULDN'T DEFINE IN THAT WAY AND I STARTED RETEACHING HER PEOPLE AND REDEFINING IT AND WE SLOWED THINGS DOWN ON THE MID-MEMBERSHIP PROCESS AND THEN FOR AT LEAST A TWO-YEAR.
I WOULD LET MY STAFF COUNSEL WITH ANYONE WHO WANT TO COME FOR BAPTISM. YOU KNOW WHAT I NEEDED TO LEARN AGAIN WHAT CONVERSION LOOK LIKE I NEEDED TO LEARN AGAIN AND SO WE CHANGED OUR MINDSET TO SAY WHAT BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, THIS CONVERSION LOOK LIKE.
LET ME SPEND A LITTLE TIME ON ROMANS 1014 THROUGH 17, FAMILIAR PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE. HOW THEN WILL THEY CALL ON HIM WHO THEY NOT BELIEVE HOW THEY BELIEVE IN HIM WHO THEY NOT HEARD HOW WOULD THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER.
HOW WILL THEY BELIEVE PREACH. RATHER, UNLESS THEY ARE SENT JUST AS WRITTEN. HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF THE GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS FOR SOME 16. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT ALL HEED THE GOOD NEWS. FOR ISAIAH SAYS LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT WERE 17 OUTAGES, ANCHOR DOWN HERE. FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF CHRIST. NOW PREACHING HERE WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT PREACHING IS AN ACTIVE TEMPS REMAINS CONTINUAL PREACHING VERSE 17 PREACHING OF WHAT THE WORD ABOUT CHRIST.
THE WORD THAT PROCLAIMS AND AND AND REVEALS CHRIST. THAT'S THE SCRIPTURES IN GENERAL BUT ALSO HEARING FAITH COMES BY HEARING THAT TYPE CONTINUAL ACTION BY THIS DEPARTMENT AND TEACH THAT THE MAJORITY THE TIME YOU HEAR ONE SIMPLE THREE-MINUTE GOSPEL PRESENTATION BUT IMMEDIATE SAY TYPICALLY IT'S HEARING, HEARING, PREACHING, HEARING PREACHING, HEARING PREACHING, HEARING BEFORE YOU CAN IDENTIFY EVIDENCES OF THE TRUE NEW BIRTH. NOW HERE'S WHAT I HAVE GOD'S WHO OPPOSE ME ON THIS AND OTHER SUCH A SIMPLE QUESTION QUESTION DO YOU FAITHFULLY PRACTICE CHURCH DISCIPLINE.
ENTER WELL KNOW THAT GREG GOT THAT DONE. DO THAT FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS AND CALL ME BACK ON THE DOCTRINE OF CONVERSION E UNDER HEMMING ON THE TONGUE OF A ABOUT BEING AN FBI AGENCY IN FINDING OUT WHAT CHURCH MEMBERS MIGHT SECRETLY BE STRUGGLE WITH SIN.
WE ALL ARE SECRETLY STRENUOUSLY UNTIL ABOUT GUYS WITH BRAZEN OPEN, REBELLIOUS, SINFUL LIFESTYLE THAT SO MANY OF THOSE TO DEAL WITH. THEY'LL COME BACK TO SAY, THE PEOPLE CAN'T BE SAVED US WITH THE AND THEN THEY'LL REALIZE LIKE JEFF KNOB HAD REALIZE I NEED TO GET THE DOCTRINE CONVERSION DOWNRIGHT.
SO IT'S PREACHING THE WORD CONTINUALLY HEARING THE WORD CONTINUALLY AND SOMEWHERE IN THAT SICK TIME, GOD BEGINS TO BIRTH PEOPLE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WHERE THERE SOUND PREACHING AND SOUND HEARING. THAT MEANS THE SPIRITS ENABLING IT. GOD WILL MANIFEST HIS ELECT BY MANIFESTING REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN THE YOU BELIEVE THAT NONNO DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THAT GOD WILL USE HIS WORD TO CONVERT HIS ELECT.
HE SAID PROBLEMS ARE CYNICALLY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I THINK IT'S THEIR CLEVERNESS THAT DRAWS PEOPLE INSTEAD OF GOD'S SPIRIT TO THE PREACHED WORD.
I WILL TELL YOU IF YOU GIVE THEM ANY OTHER WAY THAN THAT YOU GOT A PROBLEM ON YOUR HANDS.
BUT IF THEY COME THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD CONVICTING THEM TO REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN YOU GOT GREAT MOLDABLE CLAY. YOU CAN WORK WITH BIBLICALLY MOLD INTO A HEALTHY CHURCH THAT WE HAVE A MEMBERSHIP CLASS.
I PUT ONE TOGETHER YEARS AGO, BUT THE MAP DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF REDOING IT WHILE BACK AND YOU CAN HAVE IT BEING HAPPY WITH ANYTHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT IT AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BUT BUT TO BE HONEST, I THINK THE MEMBERSHIP CLASS AT BEST MIGHT BE. LET'S SAY 25% OF THE PROCESS, BUT PROCEEDING UNDER THE PREACHING OF THE WORD IS PROBABLY 75 TO 80% OF THE PROCESS OF US IDENTIFYING IS THIS PERSON REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF US, I MEAN THE MEN AFTER THEY SIT ON THE PREACHING WORK FOR SIX MONTHS AND HUNG OUT THERE PEOPLE THERE EITHER MOVING AWAY FROM US ARE COMING TO US HERE ONCE I AM NOT.
THAT'S ONLY TRUE IF YOU GOT A DECENTLY HEALTHY CHURCH. THE AVERAGE EVANGELICAL BAPTIST CHURCH HAS AS MANY UNREGENERATE PEOPLE AS REGENERATE PEOPLE SO PAGANS CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE BUT ONCE BROTHER JOHN OF GOD GETS IS AN ATOMIC PERFECT IN A BIZARRE BUT TO A GOOD LEVEL OF MATURITY THAN PEOPLE WALK IN AND IF THERE IS SHE THEY'LL LOCK IT BECAUSE MOST YOUR FOLKS ARE SHEEP, BUT IF THERE GO THE PUT IT ON FOR A WHILE WITHOUT THE KIND OF REMOVE THEMSELVES FROM THE PROCESS, SO WE BELIEVE A GALT TO COME FOR MONTHS BEFORE EVEN GOES INTO THE MEMBERSHIP CLASS BECAUSE SITTING ON OF THE WORD IS BETTER TO ASSIMILATE AND IDENTIFY IF HE'S TRULY ONE GOD ADDING VERSUS OUR CLASS. I WANT TO SAY JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WORD CALL IN OUR TEXT IS USED TWICE.
HOW WILL THEY CALL UPON THEM, AND WHOM THEY'VE NOT BELIEVED WELL AND THEN THERE'S THE PHRASE IN THIS CONTEXT I TO LOOK IT UP. WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAFE.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THERE'S AN AREA SUBJECT SUBJECTIVE MIDDLE WHICH ALMOST MEANS NOTHING TO ME, BUT THAT'S WHAT NICHOLAS BUT I CONSULTED A LOT OF SCHOLARS AND THEY SHOULD GO TO AN ARISTOTELIAN SHEET IS A CONTINUUM. IT EATS, LIKE LOOKING AT A PARADE FROM A HELICOPTER. IT'S A IT'S A LONG CONTINUOUS THING YOU CAN ONLY LOOK AT ONE POINT AT A TIME SO THIS CALLING ON THE LORD HAS A CONTINUUM ELEMENT TO SO THE IDEA IS CONVERSION IS THAT YOU BECOME ONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD. IT'S NOT A ONE TIME YOU JUMP, IT'S A CHANGED HEART IN A CHANGE PERSPECTIVE ABOUT YOUR CN PRIVATELY OFFENSIVENESS BEFORE GOD AND YOUR NEW GROWING JOY AND PEACE THAT CHRIST SAVES I'M CONTINUALLY NOW LOOKING TO HIM AND AS I LEARNED WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT PROFITS, PRIEST AND KINGS I BEGAN TO LEARN AND TREASURER. ENJOY THE LOOKING TO HIM CALLING ON HIM AS MY ONLY TRUE PROPHET THAT HE ONLY HAS WISDOM TO GIVE ME FROM HIS WORD. I'M JUST STARTING TO LOVE MY PROPHETS WORD HE JESUS IS MY PROPHET AND THEN AS I LEARN WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE PRIEST HE MEDIATES IN CONNECTION GOT I'M LEARNING THE ONE WHO CALLS ON HIM AS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN MEDIATE AND KEEP ME CONNECTED TO THE FALL HE DID AT ONE TIME, CERTAINLY, BUT IT CONTINUES ALL AND ALSO AS I LEARNED THAT HE'S KING. I GLADLY AND JOYOUSLY HAD AT LEAST THE GERMAN-MADE WANT A BALLOT TO THIS KING AND HONOR THIS KING, NOW WHO CALLS ON HIM AS MY PROPHET PRIEST AND KING. THE NEW CONVERTS NOT UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT HAS THEY LEARN THE SCRIPTURE CENTER PREACHING AS THE CONCEPTS COME OUT THE HARD IDENTIFIES WITH AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT EVIDENCE, THEY ARE ONE WHO NOW IS LOOKING TO THE LORD AS CERTAINLY CONVERSION. THERE IS A ONE TIME CALLING IF YOU WILL, WERE USED BEGIN THE MOMENT OF BELIEVE JUSTIFICATION IS IMMEDIATE AND SECURED, BUT THE CONVERSION PROCESS IS NOT SOME SUPERSTITIOUS RITUAL ARE SOME MANTRA YOU REPEAT THAT DECISION IS AMAZING BELIEVE IS SO WHEN CONVERTED YOU NOT JUST PLACE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST. YOU BECAME A FAITH IN CHRIST WHEN YOU'RE SAYING YOU DIDN'T JUST REPENT OF SIN, YOU BECAME A REPENT OF SIN. CONVERSION IS NOT A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA WHICH YOU PLUG IN THE RIGHT NUMBERS PROOF YOU GET THE RIGHT RESULT.
JUSTIFICATION IS SECURED IMMEDIATELY, BUT THE EVIDENCE OF TRUE CONVERSION IS NOT YOUR JUSTIFICATION IS THAT BEGINNING OF SANCTIFICATION AS ONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD. WE HAVE TO REMIND OURSELVES. IF YOU GIVE PEOPLE ANY IRONCLAD STEPS.
THE FLESH CAN EASILY COUNTERFEIT MIMIC THAT.
BUT IF OVER TIME UNDER THE WORD MISSING IT UP WITH YOUR TRUE CHRISTIANS THERE DRAWN YOU SEE A HUMILITY THERE'S WITNESS ABOUT AWARENESS OF SIN AND A BURDEN OF THEIR THEIR DEEP OFFENSIVENESS TO GOT A GOD AND THERE'S A GROWING TREASURING AND HOPE IN RESTING THAT CHRIST AS MY SAVIOR, THEN YOU'RE GETTING READY TO START TALKING ABOUT VECTORS YOU NOT GOING TO HAVE A HEALTHY CHURCH WITHOUT A GOOD BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF CONVERSION.
THE KEY EVIDENCE ARE ONE KEY EVIDENCE IS HUMILITY AND CONVICTION ABOUT OUR SINFUL CONDITION. I REMEMBER IN THE MONTHS AFTER I WAS CONVERTED I TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT A WRETCH WAS ONE OF VILE WE COULD SIT. I FELT THAT I FELT IT MY SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN MY BAPTIST CHURCH. BLESS THEIR HEARTS, THEY MEANT WELL REVIEWED MRS. STOP DOING THAT. YOU'RE NOT THAT BAD BUT HAD YOU UNDERSTAND I GOT A GLIMPSE OF THIS HOLY GOD. KNOW WHAT I AM LISTENING BROTHERS THAT YOU PREACH THE TEXT. YOU MUST INTENSELY REGULARLY PLEAD PREACH A HEARTY DOCTRINE ARE A HEARTY MESSAGE ON THE DOCTRINE OF CN AND DEPRAVITY. A MAN'S FALLEN OFFENSIVENESS TO HOLY GOD, BECAUSE THEN THE REGENERATE WILL JOY AND TREASURER. CHRIST FOR SAVING SUCH RICHES LIKE US AND WHEN I GOT THAT, GOSPEL HUMILITY, YOU CAN BOLD IMMUNITY.
THEY'RE WILLING TO DO WITH THE BIBLE SINCE SO KEY EVIDENCE IS THAT HUMILITY AND THAT CONVICTION ABOUT THEIR SINFUL CONDITION. THEY ARE NOW THOSE WHO CALL ON THE LORD DAILY FOR GRACE AND MERCY WHAT MY PRAYERS LISTEN TO MY PEOPLE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHO I AM AND HOW PRONE I AM DEFAULTING IN SHORTCOMINGS. I DECIDE TO CALL OUT CALL OUT CALL NAME LORD I CAN'T SAY LORD IF IT'S NOT CHRIST INTERVIEWED ON SITE. MAYBE I'M SO NOT SAY THAT LIKE I DON'T THINK HE SAVED ME. I JUST: DO YOU DO THAT NOT ONLY ODDBALL LINEAR. HOW CAN YOU KNOW YOUR CN DO NOT CONTAIN A CALL GRIMES IS ALL ABOUT THE LORD CHRIST BY THE WAY YOU LISTENING THESE MIGHTY TO SAVE THESE MIGHTY NECESSITY. HE'LL SAVE US BY THE MEANT NUMBER TIMES YOU CALL NAME YOU CALL THEM A NUMBER TIMES BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT HE SAVED YOU SO WELL ONLY THE STATE OF MY NOTES WILL NEVER GET THE THERE WAS A SNUG ENOUGH RUN WIRE WITH.
WE MUST URGE ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT AND BELIEVE AND ENCOURAGE THEM THAT THEY WILL REPENT AND BELIEVE GOD WILL SAVE THEM.
OKAY NOT WORK.
SALVATION ALL PEOPLE. EVERYBODY THAT'S MY FORM OF CALVINISM PRIEST EVERYONE EVER SAVE YOU REPENT AND BELIEVE YOU BE SAFE, BUT WE'VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE RECEIVING THEM AS MEMBERS. THERE'S THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS AS BROTHER WE USE HIS LITTLE BOOK ON CHILDREN'S CONVERSION. HE MAKES THE STATEMENT, CAN A YOUNG CHILD BE GENERALLY SAVED.
HE SAYS YES BUT IS REALLY HARD TO KNOW IF THEY WERE GENERALLY SAVED NEED TO PULL BACK WAY. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO HERE WHEN YOU GO ANOTHER KEY EVIDENCE OF PUBLIC CONVICTION, A SAMPLER, THE OTHER KEY EVIDENCE IS THIS AGAPE LOVE THAT COMES IN. THE HOLY SPIRIT BRINGS THIS AGAPE. NOW I'M NOT A GREAT SCHOLAR, BUT I THINK YOU WOULD FIND THAT AGAPE IS ALMOST ONLY USED FOR THAT UNIQUE SPECIAL LOVE ONLY THE HOLY SPIRIT PUTS IN CHRISTIAN THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT USED AMONG THE GREEKS. IT WAS IT WAS COINED BY THE APOSTLES TO MARK OUT THE UNIQUE SPECIAL LOVE. GOD PUT IN US AND THIS UNIQUE SPECIAL LOVE HAS TWO MAIN OBJECTS THAT ARE REALLY ONE AND THAT IS ITS CHRIST IN HIS CHURCH CRISIS IS WHEN GOD SAVES YOU, THERE WILL BE A GROWING LOVE. THE LESSON FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND FOR CHRIST. TRUE CHURCH, NOT CHURCH MEMBERS NOT CONGREGATIONS LOT FALSE BELIEVERS IN THOSE UNFORTUNATELY WHEN YOU GET AROUND REAL BELIEVERS. YOU JUST LEVEL.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE CHURCH AND NOT LIKE THE O'DONNELL CELESTE ON PASTORING THE SWEETEST, MOST UNITED, MOST PEACEFUL, GRACIOUS PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE FINALLY GOT TO WHERE MOST OF US ARE REALLY CONVERTED IN GOD'S PUT A SUPERNATURAL LOVE IN HER HEART FOR ONE OF THE JUST CANING VERBALIZED AND YOU KNOW SOME OF YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE A CALF, AND A NEWGATE RETINA AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT THE SAME LITTLE GLIMPSES OF IT. YOU NEVER SEEN A CHURCH WITH A STRONG MAJORITY ARE TRULY REGENERATE. YOU TOOK A CHURCH WITH A SUNNY, NOT EVERYBODY THAT'S WHAT A LOT OF THEM LEAVE US AS THE LOVE'S NOT THERE FOR US SOME GOD MOVES.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THAT'S ALL NOT LEAVE US AND ASK GOD TO BE IN THIS CHURCH. THAT'S NOT EASY THAT'S WHAT THE LORD US OF THE NEW LOVE FOR GOD AND A NEW LOVE FOR HIS CHURCH JESUS IN JOHN 842 IF GOD WERE YOUR FATHER YOU LOVE ME IS NOT SIMPLE. YOU SPEND THAT OUT.
IF GOD WERE YOUR FATHER YOU LOVE HIS CHURCH TO HOW CAN YOU LOVE JESUS AND HE WENT TO THE CROSS AND BAR THE WRATH OF HOLY GOD FOR THE SEPARATION OF GOD THAT HE NEVER KNOW THAT THE GRUESOME OFFENSIVE BURDEN OF OUR CN TOOK IT ALL TASTED FAR THE CHAIR WHICH CITY THEOLOGY IS NOT RIGHT YOU NOT GET IT RIGHT NOW � SLOPPY DAD FOR SPECIFIC ONES. PEOPLE FEEL PERFECTLY.
HIS GOAL FOR THAT HEALING CHURCH.
HOW COULD YOU LOVE HIM, AND NOT LOVE THE ONES HE GAVE SO MUCH IN LOVE FOR SAY IT'S GOING TO BE THERE NOT SAYING IT'S MATURED, BUT HE ACTED LIKE A CHILD LEARN THIS FROM THE PUP. SOME PURITAN WRITER AT LEAST THE GERM OF THAT LEVEL BE THERE BECAUSE TO BE CAREFUL JUDGING PEOPLE WERE ALL IN THE JOURNEY HERE. SO BEING A TRUE BIBLICALLY SPIRITUALLY HEALTHY CHURCH IS VERY IMPORTANT.
OBVIOUSLY, IF ONE IS A TRUE CONVERT THERE GOING TO BE DRAWN TO SOUND PREACHING AND TRUE LOCAL CHURCH FELLOWSHIP.
IN CONTRAST TO BEING DRAWN TO WHAT JOHN MACARTHUR CALLS THE NON-CHURCHES THAT ARE SO WORLDLY AND MILDLY BIBLICAL. YOU CAN'T RECALL THE CHURCH SO WHEN YOU WORRY ABOUT ALL MY GOODNESS WE NOT ALL DESCENT BUT IS NEGATIVELY DRAWN BY THIS GAME.
THIS CHURCH EXPLAIN THE SHENANIGANS JUST AND BOW DOWN THE STREET.
I GOT THE BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH ON SUNDAY AND YOU'RE WORRIED OH MY GOODNESS, HOW WE LOOK AT LOOK THE SHEEP WILL BE DRAWN TO THE PREACHING OF THE WORD AND THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF TRUE CHRISTIAN YOU SEAT YOUR CHURCH IS A GOAT REPEL OR WHAT IS IT IS TRUE OF JOHN NETRA YOU HAVE THOSE CONVULSED WILL JOIN YOUR CHURCH. THEY WON'T BY JOHN OLSON. I GO IN AND THERE YOU HAVE CALL MY SENT OUTBREAKS WILL WORSEN YOU BROTHER. THEY'LL HATE ME THIS, GO TO THE FRUIT AND I GOT MAYBE 10 MINUTES ARE AT THE START OF THE FRUIT THAT STUFF.
THE LEAVES ON THE TRADE THAT THE FINAL CULMINATION THE PINNACLE PRIORITY ELEMENT AND SET THAT LIKE THE PINTO COAL FINAL PROOF THAT YOUR TRUE CHURCH AND THAT CHRIST IS BEING GLORIFIED THROUGH YOUR CHURCH. IS THIS FRUIT JOHN 1335. ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. THAT'S AGAPE THAT'S THAT UNIQUE HOLY SPIRIT PL. LOVE HOLY SPIRIT PREACHING OF THE WORD MATURED LOVE THAT ONLY TRUE SAINTS OF GOD, SHARE TOGETHER.
THAT KIND OF LOVE IT. IT'S A LOVE THE WORLD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT JESUS PRAYED IN JOHN 17 THAT WE WOULD HAVE UNITY THAT WOULD PROVE TO THE WORLD FOR HIS DISCIPLES SO HE SAYS WHEN YOU LOVE IT THAT UNIQUE SPECIAL LOVE ONLY CHRISTIANS HAVE AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE UNITY THAT ALL UNIQUE PRETTY CHRISTIANS CAN HAVE, BECAUSE I HAVE THAT LOVE THE WORLD WILL NOT GO MATT AND BILL KNOW YOU'RE MY DISCIPLE. BECAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T DO THAT. THE WORLD SAYS LOOK AT THE STRIFE, AND DIVISIONS, AND HATRED, AND ITS UNITY. I KNEW THAT PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND ALL BACKGROUNDS, YET THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
YOU ARE GOD IS WORTHY OF ALL HONOR AND DIGNITY BECAUSE NOBODY CAN DO THAT. NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE. THIS IS A POWERFUL STATEMENT THIS LOVE. THIS UNIQUE SPECIAL NOT NOT NOT SEE IT WHEN I WAS A YOUNG CHRISTIAN YOUNG PASTOR, I THOUGHT THIS LOVE MEANT I TAUGHT I TAKE THE LOVE I KNEW AS A LOSS MAN THIS WORLDLY CONCEPT OF LOVE JUST WORK AT IT REAL HARD IN NATURE.
KNOW THIS IS A NEW LOVE, ITS SPIRIT WROUGHT ITS BIBLE DEFINED IN ITS SPIRIT AND POWER TO BE LIVED OUT WHERE TO EPHESIANS 415, 16, SPEAKING THE TRUTH AND LOVE ARE TO GROW UP IN ALL ASPECTS UNDER HIM THAT I WOULD SAY THE HIGHEST EXAMPLE OF THE TRUE LOVE IS CONFRONTATION OF THE TRUTH ONE ANOTHER WHEN WERE WILLING TO CONFRONT ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE ARE RATHER CONFRONT ONE ANOTHER.
IN TRUTH, WRAPPED IN LOVE. HE SAYS IN EPHESIANS 416 FROM WHOM THE WHOLE BODY, BEING FITTED AND HELD TOGETHER BY WHAT EVERY JOINT SUPPLIES, ACCORDING TO THE PROPER WORKING OF EACH OF THE FOUR INDIVIDUAL PART, CAUSES THE GROWTH OF THE BODY FOR THE BUILDING UP OF ITSELF IN LOVE. IN VERSE 15 GROW UP IN ALL ASPECTS. IN VERSE 16, BUT DO IT IN LOVE. OUR CONTINUED GROWTH ARE CHRISTIAN MATURITY REQUIRES THE BRETHREN CONFRONTING ONE ANOTHER WITH THE TRUTH. THAT'S LOVE. THE WORLD CAN'T UNDERSTAND, BUT THE TENOR AND TONE OF OUR CONFRONTATION MUST BE LOVE AND THE MOTIVATION FOR THE CONFRONTATION MUST BE LOVE. WE NEED TRUTH, ENCOURAGEMENT, TRUTH, EXPECTATION, TRUTH, CORRECTION IN OUR BODY LIFE ALL DRIVEN BY AN ALL WRAPPED IN THIS NEW AGAPE LOVE THE SPIRITS PUT IN US FOR ONE ANOTHER. THIS LOVE. THIS CONFRONTATION OF TRUTH ONE TO ANOTHER, IS THE KEY TO SHOW TO OTHERS THAT WERE THE REAL DEAL REAL QUICK AND MAN, I'M LEAVING SOME STUFF OUT THREE KEY ASPECTS OF CONFRONTATIONAL LOVE THAT'S DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WORLD'S MARBLES OVER AND CAUSES THE WORLD TO PRAISE OUR GOD, FOR THE UNIQUE AND WONDERFUL THING THAT HE SAID THAT THIS CHURCH IS THREE CONFRONTATIONAL ASPECTS OF THESE NUMBER ONE. A WORD ABOUT BIBLICAL COUNSELING, BIBLICAL COUNSELING VERSUS PSYCHOLOGY OR SO-CALLED CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY. SUFFICE IT TO SAY THE WORD COUNSELING. THE WORD NEW PATHETIC THAT I GUESS JAY ADAMS, CALLING FOR SYNTHETIC COUNSELING IS CALLED IS TAKEN FROM THE GREEK WORD BECAUSE IT'S USUALLY TRAVEL STRICTLY MANY WAYS OF TRANSLATING COUNSEL ADMONISHED, CORRECT, INSTRUCT WITH THE POORNESS. THE WORD PATHETIC IS SO PREGNANT WITH MEANING. THERE'S NOT ONE ENGLISH WORD THAT CAN DEFINE IT SO YOU NEED ACTUALLY A LISTING OF THINGS SO ONLY COUNSEL BIBLICALLY, YOU CAN JUST SAY COUNSEL. THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. SO WHEN WE HAVE AGAPE LOVE GIVING US A SPECIAL LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND SO WE ARE REGULARLY LOVINGLY CONFRONTING ONE ANOTHER WITH THE TRUTH TO GROW UP IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE HIM. HERE'S WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE YOUR SOUND DEFINING NEW PATHETIC OR BIBLICAL COUNSELING NUMBER ONE IS GOTTA BE A TRUE CONCERN A LOVING CONCERN FOR THE PERSON. IT'S A LOVING CONCERN BASED ON TRUTH THAT HERE'S THE WAY THE CONCERN SHOULD OUTLINE ITSELF. THE HIGHEST PART OF YOUR CONCERN IS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD HAVE A BROTHER SINCE THE END AND YOU'RE COUNSELING HIM YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO GLORIFY GOD IN THIS CITY AND I WANT GOD GLORIFIED THAT YOUR MAJOR CONCERN. THE SECOND PART OF THE CONCERN IS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THING IS RATHER IT I KNOW IS THE GOOD OF THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ARE YOU WITH ME AND SO IF THERE'S ON THAT LIST CENTER SOME ISSUE IN A BROTHER'S LIFE IS NOT SIN, HE JUST NEEDS HELP YOUR COUNSELING FROM THE WORD BECAUSE IF HE'S NOT ALL ARE HERE, SHE OUGHT TO BE THE BODY'S GOING TO SUFFER SO THE GOOD OF THE CHURCH IS ON THE LINE WHEN A MEMBER IS SUFFERING MEMBER IF ONE MEMBER SUFFERS, THEY ALSO SO CONFRONTING THEM WITH THE TRUTH. I DON'T MEAN CONFRONTING IN A HARSH, EVEN CORRECTION WAY ALL THE TIME FOR SPRING AND THE TRUTH TO BEAR MEMBER IS GOTTA BE WRAPPED IN LOVE. THAT MEANS TALL AND THAT MEANS TENOR. THAT MEANS WHEN WE SELECT OUR WORDS. THE THIRD ASPECT OF OUR CONCERN IS GOOD FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THEM TO, BUT ONLY IN THIS ORDER, THE GLORY OF GOD TO GO TO CHURCH AND THEIR GOODS NOW. THE SECOND PART OF THE SENECA BIBLICAL COUNSELING TO ME WOULD BE CORRECTION.
YOU BASICALLY SAYING OKAY HERE WE ARE. HERE'S THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING. HERE'S THE WAY YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS OR HERE'S THE WAY YOU'RE BEHAVING. BUT HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SINCE SO YOU GOT A REPENT OF THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING OF THE WAY YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS ON THE WAY YOU'RE BEHAVING AND START REPLACING THAT WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAID THAT'S BIBLICAL COUNSELING RIGHT CORRECTION FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
HERE'S WHERE YOU ARE. HERE'S WITH THE WORDS. THIS HERE'S HOW YOU DID CHANGE. THIRDLY, IS ACCOUNTABILITY. ACCOUNTABILITY PAUL SAID. SECOND THESSALONIANS 314 IF ANYONE DOES NOT OBEY OUR INSTRUCTION IN THIS LETTER, TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THAT PERSON AND DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH HIM. THAT'S AN ELEMENT OF ACCOUNTABILITY AFTER THAT'S THE LAST OF THE DISCIPLINE TUBE PRINCIPLE OF ACCOUNT OF THE THINGS THEY ARE SO THAT HE WILL BE PUT TO SHAME LOT TO SAY THERE WOULD ON TIME. SAY VERSE 15 YET DO NOT REGARD HIM AS AN ENEMY BUT ADMONISHED HIM THIS NEW THAT IT THAT'S THE ROOT WORD NEW THING THERE ADMONISHED, BUT ADMONISHED HIM AS A BROTHER. WHAT'S IT MEAN HAVE A KINDNESS LOOK, HERE'S WHAT WE SAID IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE IF YOUR CHURCH IS MATURING AND BROTHERS ARE LEARNING TO CONFRONT AND CORRECT EACH OTHER BY THE WORD WE DO IT WITH GRAY COMPASSION AND PATIENCE. IF THEY SHOW THE SLIGHTEST STEP OF BEING A REPENT OR NOT. I'M NOT ARRIVING BUT THERE THERE WILLING TO BE A FIGHTER HERE. THEY'RE WILLING TO STRIVE TOWARD YOU KNOW LITTLE, PUT ARMS RAN A LITTLE STRUGGLE WITH THEM. AMEN.
ALL RIGHT. THE FOUR STEP IN THE SENATE. COUNSELING THE SAY WE'VE GOT GENUINE LOVE AND CONCERN THAT CORRECTION WILL HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE WORD TOLD THEM TO CHANGE AND THEN IF AFTER GREAT PATIENCE AND LONG-SUFFERING AND CARE.
THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO EVEN TRY THAN THE STRICT DISCIPLINE LISTEN TO ME THERE IS NO BIBLE CHRISTIAN COUNSELING WITHOUT CHURCH DISCIPLINE. IT AGGRAVATES ME TO SEE THE ACADEMICS CHOP THESE UP IN THE SEPARATE SEPARATE DISCIPLINES. YOU CANNOT SEPARATE BIBLICAL COUNSELING FROM CHURCH DISCIPLINE BECAUSE IF THERE ARE IF THEY'RE CLEARLY A LIST OF THE UNWILLING TO EVEN TRY ANSWERING THEIR STRUGGLING PIPE DESTROYING THE CHILDREN STRUGGLE WITH AMALGAM WITH A A BRIDGE OUT OF A WALK-UP DOOR BELOW THEIR NET MUMBLE LIVE THIS WAY. I DON'T CARE EVEN COUNSELING THAT COMES TO DISCIPLINE HER TO BE TO HER TO GO REAR TO GO OUT TO THE CHURCH. THEY WON'T REPENT REMOVED. HE SAID COUNSELING HAS NO POWER TO USE NOT BACKED UP BY DISCIPLINE. ARE YOU WITH ME CHURCH ON A WORD ABOUT CONFLICT RESOLUTION. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR WORD CONFLICT RESOLUTION JUST REAL QUICK SECOND. TO ME, NOT JUST PICK OUT ONE LITTLE THING ABOUT HUNDRED AND 610 233 WE HAVE THE LISTING OF THESE FRUITS OF THE FRICK FLESH. IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT. THEY ARE THE AUNT. THE THESIS OF THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT AND THERE'S ONE HERE THAT JUMPS OUT TO ME SO STRONG. AND THAT'S THE FRUIT OF IRRECONCILABLE IRRECONCILABLE. THAT'S ONE OF THE FRUITS OF THE OLD MAN, THE LOST MEN, THE FLESH, WORD IRRECONCILABLE LITERALLY MEANS TRUCE BREAKER OR COVENANT BREAKER. ONE SCHOLAR SAYS IT LITERALLY MEANS WITHOUT LIBATION AND THE POINT WAS IN THE OLD WORLD WHEN YOU MADE UP AN AGREEMENT TO COME TOGETHER AND BE RECONCILED. YOU POURED OUT A LIBATION TO SEAL THE COVENANT OF UNITY. SO THIS IS A BROTHER SAYS I WILL NOT HAVE A COVENANT I'LL NOT POUR OUT THE LAME SHALL NOT BE RECONCILED. WELL, THAT'S CONFLICT WHEN HE SAID IT CONFLICT WITH ABOUT CONFLICT RESOLUTION. SO HE'S REFUSING TO BE RECONCILED WHILE IN THE CONTEXT OF SECOND TIMMY THREE WE SEE TWO OTHER THINGS WANT TO BRING OUT THE BIBLE LIST ALONG WITH THESE OTHER VICES ARE REFERRED TO THE FLESH, THE PHRASE A LOVER OF SALES.
HE'S PROVEN BY HIS UNWILLINGNESS TO RECONCILE WITH HIS BROTHER OR SISTER IN CHRIST THAT HE JUST REALLY LOVES HIMSELF. AND AFTER HE SAYS IRRECONCILABLE.
ANOTHER TRUTH COMES OUT 16 235 HOLDING TO A FORM OF GODLINESS IS THE IDEA IF HE HAS THE THESE THE SHALE BUT NOT THE SUBSTANCE OF TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE.
BUT THAT'S A GENERAL TRUTH OF THOSE WHO ADAMANTLY WELL I'LL PUT THIS WAY, IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE. IT'S SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR BROTHERS IN A LOCAL CHURCH WHO WERE INDWELT AND FILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE IRRECONCILABLE HIM POSSIBLE AND WE'VE DEALT WITH A LITTLE BUSINESS CENTER, ANCHORED IN TRADE FAMILY.
HERE'S WHAT JOS� IF THERE'S A DIVISION IN YOUR CHURCH YOU COLONIST A HAPPY MEDIATED AND GOOD GODLY MEN ARE MAYBE IN A CHURCH OR ELDERS COME TO MEDIATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAY WILL YOU GOT THESE THREE SINS. AND YOU GOT THESE ONCE AND YELLED THEIR THOUGHTS INTO YOUR RECONCILED AND YOU BOW YOUR NECK IT'S AT ALL NOT BE RECONCILED AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BLOWN CHRIST WELL IF GOD LET YOU GO VERY LONG, AND THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR BROTHER LUCKY TO GET OVER YOUR PETTY DISAGREEMENT. JUST EAT IT FOR THE SAKE OF GOD AND THE CHURCH WE SAY IN FIRST CORINTHIANS POSTED WHAT YOU BROTHERS GOING TO TO THE SECULAR COURTS WHEN YOU HAVE THIS AGREEMENT WHILE DRIBBLING INTO THE SITES AND LET THEM MEDIATED THAT HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST. THEY KNOW BETTER THAN THE UNGODLY UNREGENERATE NOTES WANTED TO GO TO AN UNREGENERATE JUDGE AND ASK HIM TO TOOK TO BRING TO WORK OUT A MEDIATION BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS WHO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD, SO THAT THE CHURCH THAT ELDERS INTERVENE THERE AND WORK OUT A RESOLUTION.
WE HAD A MAN IN OUR CHURCH WAS A BUSINESSMAN AND HE HAD AN EMPLOYEE IN I DON'T KNOW ALL THE DETAILS BUT THE EMPLOYEE WAS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM LOSING A LOT OF MONEY AND HE DID WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS HE BROUGHT IT TO THE ELDERS AND WE LOOKED AT THE SITUATION WE THOUGHT THE BOARD WAS WAS CLEARLY GUILTY, BUT HE JUST CAN'T ABODE UP THAT BUSINESS OWNER SAID I'M NOT CONSUMING WILL TAKEN TO CHURCH. I'M GOING TO FORGIVE THE LOSS GO ALL IN. THAT BUSINESSMAN STILL A FAITHFUL SERVING TITHING MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH KNOW WHY BECAUSE HE'S NOT IRRECONCILABLE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR TRUE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO GO ON IT. IF IT IS AN IN RICK ECK RECONCILED THE SPIRIT, HERE'S WHAT I'M SAYING ABOUT HOW THEY SLINK TOGETHER SO OTHERS BIBLICAL COUNSELING ARE CONFLICT RESOLUTION. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HER BROTHER RESIST THAT THE MEDIATION TO BE RECONCILED WITHIN THE LOCAL CHURCH THEN DISCIPLINES TAKE PLACE TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE CHURCH ULTIMATELY AND REMOVED FOR REFUSING TO RECONCILE SUBSIDIES ALWAYS GO TOGETHER.
THEY SHOULD NEVER BE SEPARATED INTO THREE SEPARATE THING. IT'S ALL ONE THING, THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE CHURCH. SO IF THERE HAS BEEN PROPER MEDIATION IN THE CONFLICT AND THOSE LEADING THE MEDIATION PROPOSE A BIBLICAL REMEDIATION AND WATER.
BOTH OF THE PARTIES REFUSE RECONCILIATION THEN THAT'S AN ABOMINATION AND THERE SHOULD BE DISCIPLINE. I'M GOING TO MENTION THINGS AND WERE DONE. A WORD ABOUT CHURCH DISCIPLINE SIX PRIMARY PURPOSES OF CHURCH DISCIPLINE IS TO REPAIR GOD'S REPUTATION. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE WILL YOU KNOW WE DISCIPLINE PEOPLE TOOK TO RESTORE THEM BACK. NOT FIRST YOU DISCIPLINE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE DISHONORING GOD BY THEIR SIN FIRST TO RESTORE GOD DRIFT DICTATION. WE SAW THIS WITH DAVID. YOUR SINS GIVEN OCCASION FOR THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD, TO BLASPHEME GOD CARES ABOUT HIS REPUTATION FEEL HE'S GOT A FANATIC ABOUT HIS OWN GLORY.
SO IF WE ARE WILLINGLY OPENLY HABITUALLY DISHONORING HIM. IT'S GOTTA BE CORRECTED. THAT MEANS AN OUTWARD WAY SO MUCH MORE TO SAY. THEIR NUMBER TWO TO RESTORE A SHEET TO THE FOLD. WE ARE GOING OUT WITH A HEART TO RESTORE THEM IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. MATTHEW 1819 THROUGH 20 PRINTING EXAMPLE FOR STRENGTHENS FIVE NUMBER THREE TO RESCUE THE SHEEP FROM ROMAN BOUNCES. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. IF THIS BROTHER GOES ON IN SAYING HE'S GONNA DESTROY HIMSELF. HE MAY BRING DEATH TO HIS FAMILY. HE MAY BRING DEATH.
HIS OCCUPATION, THE WHITE WERE SAVING THIS BROTHER FROM RUIN WILL BE CONFRONT HIM AND TRY TO BRING ABOUT NUMBER FOUR TO REMOVE A FILE SHEEP FROM THE CHURCH. FIRST JOHN 219 THEY WENT OUT FROM US, BUT THEY WERE REALLY NOT OF US WERE THEY BEEN OTHERS, THEY WOULD HAVE REMAINED WITH US. IF GOD IS CHANGE THEM AND GIVING THEM THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT. WE OUT THAT WILL BE WITH US, SO THE STEPS OF CHURCH DISCIPLINE. WHEN A PERSON WILL NOT BE RECONCILED AND RETURNED TO THE CHURCH.
WE HAVE NO CONCLUSION OTHER THAN THEY'RE NOT GOD'S. THEY WENT OUT FROM US, AS IT WAS THAT THEY REALLY WERE NEVER OTHERS WITH THE TEXAS NUMBER FIVE HEREIN NEW SANCTIFICATION AMONG THE FAITHFUL SHEEP INTO PLACES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT GREAT FEAR CAME UPON THE CONGREGATION AFTER DISCIPLINE WAS ADMINISTERED, ACTS 511 FIRST TIMOTHY 520. NOTHING THINKS I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. DOWN THERE THEY'LL DO BRING ME FULL CHURCH AND PRAYED THAT HAPPEN LESS GOOD YOUR DIFFERING THAT THAT THAT CONCERNED JOHN MACARTHUR SAID ONE TIME. IF YOU HAVEN'T IF YOU IF YOU BUILD A CHURCH WHERE YOU DEAL WITH EACH OTHER SINS THEN YOU'LL HAVE CHURCH MEMBERS ON YOUR CHURCH A MONTH OR SINS THAT WITH THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. YOU SEE YOUR DRAWL THE RIGHT PEOPLE. THE LOOK THIS IS A WHENEVER CHURCH DISCIPLINE. IT'S GOT TO BE CARRIED OUT WITH ABSOLUTE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY. IT'S NEVER TALKED ABOUT. YOU DON'T SPREAD IT AROUND. AND IF YOU'RE CONFRONTING SOMEONE WITH SAND AND YOU START TALKING ABOUT IT WILL DISCIPLINE YOU.
BEFORE THE PERSON INSANE BECAUSE YOU'RE DAMAGING THE BODY MORE BY YOUR GOSSIPING ABOUT IT THAT IS SEEN AS DAMAGING THE BODY. SO YOU MAKE A TENACIOUS COMMITMENT.
THIS GOTTA BE UTMOST PRIVATE UNLESS IT BECOMES AN OPEN SCANDAL, AND EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH IN THE WORLD KNOWS IT IS GOTTA BE DEALT WITH OPENLY. OBVIOUSLY, OR IF HE DID REPENT FINALLY BECOMES AN OPEN SEA AND BROUGHT FOR THE CHURCH. NUMBER SIX TO REPEL THE WOLF AT THE DOOR TO REPEL THE WOLF AT THE DOOR WHEN YOU THEY ARE KNOWN IN YOUR COMMUNITY AS LOVING ONE ANOTHER WITH GENUINE DEEP LOVE, LOVING EACH OTHER SO MUCH THAT YOU'D CORRECT EACH OTHER WITH THE WORD.
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT THAT THE WOLVES ARE NOT GOING ON IN YOUR CHURCH AND ACCEPT FIVE AFTER ANANIAS AND SAFARI WERE DEALT WITH AFTER THE DISCIPLINE CASE OF AN OUNCES OF IRA ACTS 513, THE BIBLE SAYS, BUT NONE OF THE REST DARED TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM.
HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE HAVE THE MONASTIC IS NONE OF THE REST THAT ONE AWAY. THEY WOULD ASSOCIATE WITH HIM. IT WAS FELT TO JUST KIND OF HANGING OUT WITH THE GATHERING OF THE CHURCH. SOME THE MEETINGS OF THE CHURCH, BUT THEY WERE SAVED, YET THEY WERE REPELLED AWAY AND GOD DOES THAT SOMETIMES YOU KNOW FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW GRAY/CHURCH OF THE SHOWS HAS EXPERIENCED A SWEET UNITY AND A SWEET PIECE THAT IS REALLY INDESCRIBABLE. YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT TO GET IT.
BUT THAT WAS AFTER THE FIRST 20 YEARS OF CYCLES OF TURMOIL IN DIVISION AND STRIFE UGLINESS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN MORE IMPORTANT TO BUILD THE LOVE AND UNITY OF OUR BODY, AND THE FAITHFUL PRACTICE, THOUGH OFTEN IMPERFECT, THE FAITHFUL PRACTICE OF CHURCH DISCIPLINE CHURCH DISCIPLINE AS A FILTER ON THE FRONT DOOR FOLKS WILL COME IN WHO REALLY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE WHEN SURE KNOWN AS A CHURCH THAT FUNCTIONS IN THIS. IT'S A SHIFTER ON THE BACK DOOR. THE CHURCH YES SHIFTER HOLDS THE GOOD IN LESSER STUFF GO THING THAT YOU DON'T NEED SO IF YOU START PASSENGERS DISC WHEN YOU LOSE THE RIGHT PEOPLE YOU HOLD RIGHT PEOPLE BUT IT'S A LIE ON THE MAIN FLOOR. IN OTHER WORDS, THE LIGHT, WHAT DOES NOT DO IT PURIFIES IT CLEANSES IT BUILDS UP IN AGE. THE SANCTIFICATION OF THE CHURCH AS A WHOLE. NOW I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED. I'VE KNOWN TOO LONG TO GET THIS LAST THING THE PINNACLE FRUIT OF A LOCAL CHURCH AND THE PINNACLE EXPRESSION OF LOVE IN A LOCAL CHURCH IS WHEN THEY EXERCISE THIS LOVING CONFRONTATION LOVING CONFRONTATION WITH THE TRUTH AND ALL THE PARTIES AND LOVE ARE HUMBLE AND THANKFUL FOR IT AND KEEP GROWING TOGETHER AND THEN YOU COME FULL CIRCLE TO THE FIRST STATEMENT ON OUR BIBLICAL THEOLOGY, A PRIORITY OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN YOUR CHURCH IS DOING THAT GOD GETS THE MOST GLORY TO YOUR CHURCH THAT WE NEVER GET DONE.
ALWAYS LEARNING AND VERY PINNING BUT LET'S BE IN THE RACE TOGETHER GIVE TRUE CHURCHES THAT LIVE OUT CHRISTIANITY IN SUCH A WAY THAT GOD GIVES GLORY
