TALK ABOUT WHAT REDEMPTION CHURCH AND OURSELVES ARE DOING WITH THE CONQUEROR SERIES.
(READ PORN STATS)
Here are just a few stats on the state of porn from the last year, according to one of the most popular hardcore porn websites today, Pornhub:
-In 2016 alone, Pornhub got 23 BILLION visits.
That’s 729 people a second, or 64 million a day—nearly equal to the population of the United Kingdom.
-Enough porn was watched in 2016 on this one website that all the data would fill 194,000,000 USB sticks.
If you put the USB sticks end to end, they’d wrap all the way around the moon.
-Last year alone, 91,980,225,000 videos were watched on Pornhub.
That’s 12.5 videos for every person on the planet.
-Also, 4,599,000,000 hours of porn were watched on the site in just one year.
That’s equal to 5,246 centuries.
-Age 11 is the average age at which most children are exposed to pornography for the 1st time!
(Recently, research by security technology company Bitdefender found that kids under the age of 10 now account for 22% of online porn consumption among the under 18 age bracket!)
THIS IS NOT OK, IT IS NOT GOING AWAY AND IT IS NOT SLOWING DOWN.
IN FACT, IT IS ESCALATING!
We are starting this on Thursday, April 5, 2018.
There are sign-up sheets out in the front foyer on the information table.
We will announce which church it will be starting at, but either way, it will go back and forth.
There will be two workbooks that will be available to purchase (they are not mandatory, but highly recommended).
The cost for the two books will be given after we have a good idea of how many people will be attending.
(Probably around $25 for both workbooks)
Even if you, personally, do not have a struggle with pornography addiction, I would like to strongly ask that each man, at least consider attending the classes, because of the material that is presented and its benefits in helping others that you may know of who are struggling with this very thing!
And this reason aligns perfectly with our role as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, just as the Bible tells us:
, “Preach the word of God.
Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not.
Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.”
, “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path.
And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself.
You are not that important.”
, “ My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”
Guys, here’s the deal.
Pornography is the devil’s greatest tool that he has ever used in destroying our marriages, our children, our families and homes, our jobs and ultimately, THE CHURCH!!
It is, basically, in every church based upon statistics; no matter where you go.
There can no longer be a deaf ear and a blind eye given to this worldwide EPIDEMIC!
THE CHURCH BODY WITHIN IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY MUST MOVE, NOW, TO NOT SLOW THIS DISEASE DOWN, BUT RATHER TO STOP AND ERADICATE IT.
THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF THIS SICKNESS IN ANY HOME OR CHURCH, OR BUSINESS!
IT WILL DESTROY YOU!
Two years ago, the men of this church, at around this same time of the year, made a pledge, after a special service.
Each man that elected to do so, signed a resolution which read as follows.
(READ THE RESOLUTION)
We are called to be the light to the world.
I am calling the men of this church out, to stand upon your pledge, to protect your wives and your marriages, to protect our children and guide them in the ways of the Word of God!
I am calling the men out to FIGHT.......FIGHT for what God has entrusted to you and not allow the enemy anymore ground into our homes and churches!
I would like the men of the church, the sons of the one true Lord and King, to stand to their feet right now and take a good long look around you! Gentlemen, in this very room, at this very moment, you are looking at potential casualties of the spiritual war that rages against on us!
Your wives, your sons and daughters, your grandchildren and your friends are all potential casualties to this disease that the enemy has flooded our nation with!
Will you fight!
WILL YOU FIGHT! (LEAD IN PRAYER!)
How many of you know, that when a painter or a sculptor, makes a masterpiece, they make, just the one.
That is, they don’t try to recreate it over and over again, right?
And so, if I want to obtain my own painting of the Leonardo DaVinci’s, “The Last Supper”, I have to buy a what?
Right, I would buy a copy of that painting.
I can’t just run down to WalMart and purchase an original DaVinci, or a Van Gogh.
As big and as loaded with just about everything under the sun that you want to buy that Amazon.com
has grown to offer, I still can’t click on their website and order an official Michelangelo’s David sculpture and have it shipped to my door using my Amazon Prime, free two day shipping, right?
And we can laugh about this, as we are all intelligent enough to understand that there are original creations and then there are copies of the originals.
And even with the copies, there still varies degrees of accuracy and quality, right?
I mean, if I want a cheap variation of the Mona Lisa, I can literally go on Amazon and get one for around $30.
However, if I want a better quality oil rendition of this, then I can pay several hundred dollars or even up to a thousand dollars!
My granny Bess’ fried chicken was an original masterpiece!
There was nothing else like that I’ve ever had.
Now, I can go to Bea’s Restaurant in downtown Chattanooga and get a really good fried chicken dinner, as a copy to my Grannies’ chicken or, if I want a cheaper version, I can go to the deli department at WalMart and get some fried chicken.
Point being, there is the original and then there are copies.
Well, in the book of Exodus, in chapters 25-30, we read of the account where God gives His servant Moses the instructions for building the wilderness tabernacle, as well as the articles that would go with it.
When you came into the east gate of the outer court, there you would find the altar of burnt offering (for all the sacrifices offered up before the Lord as burnt offerings) and then the bronze basin of water (used by the priests for washing their hands and feet, both before offering the sacrifices, or before entering the tabernacle).
Only the children of Israel were to enter into the courtyard, it was not for just anyone to come and hang out in.
Then, upon entering the Holy place through the first doorway, you would find the three articles that were attended to by the priests, ONLY, every day.
(The children of Israel were not allowed into the Holy Place or the room just to the west of it, the Holy of Holies; only the priests were allowed in to the Holy Place!)
In the Holy Place, you would find the table for the bread of the Presence, the golden lampstand and the altar of incense.
Twice a day (morning and evening), the priest would go in and tend the lamp and burn the incense before the Lord.
The bread, which sat on the table, was placed anew, every Sabbath, before the Lord.
Then, finally, you have the last room within the tabernacle, which was the Holy of Holies.
Within this room, was the box that God instructed Moses to build, which was called the Ark of the Covenant.
This box was covered with a lid which was called the Mercy Seat and shrouded over the Mercy Seat, were the two cherubim, with their wings stretched out towards one another and touching.
It is here, the Holy of Holies, that God’s presence would reside and rest upon the Mercy Seat.
(But, only if the HIGH PRIEST did his job and once a year, on the Day of Atonement, sprinkled the Mercy Seat with the blood of the sacrificial animals.
Thus, making propitiation, or a covering for the sins of all of the people.
OK, so these things that God said to put into place, (the tabernacle, the priests and all of the implementations for the tabernacle),were there for the benefit of the people, so that God and His presence would remain with them, wherever they went, right?
So, then turn in your Bibles with me to ,
Did you see what the author of Hebrews just said to us?
“They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven.”
You’re probably thinking, “OK, so what does that mean to me?”
It means this - that everything that God had put into place within the Old Testament and built into tabernacle and worshipping Him, was only a copy of the real thing that exists in Heaven!
All of the amenities that were part of the priesthood and the tabernacle were but mere images, copies of the real and perfect ones that were already in Heaven!
In everything that was present, from the old covenant, the Old Testament, we can now see Jesus, as He came and fulfilled all of it!
And in doing so, He removed the burdens and the barriers that separated us from the glorious presence of God!
Walk with me and let’s enter into the courtyard of the tabernacle, through the east gate.
Walking straight ahead, we would instantly be looking upon the brazen altar, were all of the sacrifices were made to God on behalf of the people.
It is here, that we find Jesus, as He was was placed upon the altar (the cross) and raised up as the spotless sacrificial lamb of God.
It is here that the most precious gift of all time was poured out for you and I; the BLOOD of JESUS the CHRIST.
The author of Hebrews reminds us of why this happened, by saying, “In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood.
For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
If we were to move forward to the bronze basin of water that cleaned the priests hands and feet, we see Jesus, the living water Himself, who forever washes us whole and cleanses us from all unrighteousness!
Then, moving forward into the first curtain and the Holy Place, where only the priest could enter, we would find the golden lampstand, which lit the inner parts of the otherwise dark sanctuary.
Here we see Jesus, again, as He became the Light of the World and would forever bring His glorious light into the darkness of the innermost spaces of our lives and our circumstances; even where everything else that we have tried, failed miserably and left us in utter darkness and shame, JESUS SHINES!
If you look across, you can see the table of the bread of the Presence.
It was our Lord and Savior, Jesus Himself, who said, “I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again.”
It is through Jesus and He alone that our souls are fed and our spirits forever satisfied with the bread of the word that forever removes spiritual hunger!
