United

The Kingdom of God has a singular focus
-
Do you? If we do not, then we are working against the Kingdom
-
-
Forgiven
-
Unforgivable: to blaspheme the Spirit:
-
How? I want to avoid this, really.
-
Do not ignore the Spirit as if He is not God
-
Listen to the conviction: of sin, of need for salvation
-
-
Forgivable: anything else
-
Including insulting the Son of God
-
Not an exhaustive list
-
Rather a “this really awful thing is forgivable so everything else is too”
-
-
-
Visible
-
Hypocrisy shows un—Kingdom involvement
-
Visible evil shows against the Kingdom
-
Make it all good
-
Words: the things we speak
-
Words and deeds go hand in hand
-
It will be obvious by your words and deeds
-
This is how you will judged:
-
That your life has been Christ's or not:
-
Your words will be evidence.

Theme: Rejoice when?
Date: June 6 2010 PM

-
We are here commanded to rejoice always.
-
It's not given optionally
-
It is a command
-
-
I cannot rejoice always
-
Life is not always good
-
Life is not always fair
-
Life is not always joyful
-
-
Paul gives us how to know how to rejoice always:
-
The Lord is near.
-
This is the key to all of these commands
-
We have not been abandoned
-
The Lord is near:
-
He knows who does what
-
He knows where we are
-
He knows when we'll need to go
-
-
-
-
So, we can:
-
Rejoice in all things:
-
Jesus Christ, who died for me, is near
-
I can, therefore, rejoice in His nearness if nothing else
-
-
Have a gentle spirit
-
Jesus Christ, who died for me, is near
-
I can, therefore, be gentle and follow His example of gentleness
-
-
Not be anxious
-
Jesus Christ, who died for me, is near
-
I can, therefore, rest unanxiously in His care
-
-
Have my heart guarded by peace
-
Jesus Christ, who died for me, is near
-
I can, therefore, trust that I am guarded by His peace
-
-
-
The joyous life is not based in the surface of our circumstances
-
Neither is it in our ignoring those circumstances
-
Joy is found because of the underlying truth:
-
THE LORD IS NEAR!!
