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.

Text: Philippians 4:4-7
Theme: Rejoice when?
Date: June 6 2010 PM
Location: CBC Monticello
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!!
