Call to Worship
My public statement on preaching and sermon delivery.
Turn with me to please.
Read and pray.
Today as we walk through this text, I want to show you five principles to the Christian life but before we do, we need to go back to the context of this letter.
Context of this passage including Spiritual fruit and Judiazers.
Now that we’re thinking in light of the context for this passage, here are the main themes I want you to grab from this passage.
Point #1
V.1 God’s people are going to fall.
David and Bathsheba.
Think of Hezekiah.
One of Judah’s most righteous kings.
says that he was a Proud man.
Think of Peter denying Jesus after all that he had seen.
Walking on water, the healing of so many people, the mount of transfiguration and so much more.
The truth of the Christian life is that whether we are super spiritual or babies in the faith, we will fall victim to sin.
So be prepared to not only be the one falling into sin, but also be prepared to see others do the same.
Point #2
When people fall, be ready to handle it with tenderness and mercy.
The woman caught in Adultery .
Examine the first part of that passage.
Dramatize the Pharisees bringing this woman to Jesus by the arm.
Show their pride and arrogance in dealing with sin.
Put her right in the center of what Jesus was doing.
“Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery and in Moses’ Law, this means she must die…but what do you say?”
“LOOK AT THIS WRETCHED AND MISERABLE SINNER.”
True concern for her would have cared for her and not made her the center of attention.
Her sin was great, but more than this, their care for her soul should have been that way as well.
Compare this with .
Why would the scribes parade this woman out in front of everyone else?
Pride!
Compare V.4 with V.1.
A spirit of gentleness does not esteem who we are as compared with someone else.
Gentleness means that we truly love that person in Christ.
And because God’s people are going to fail and we are called to handle it in a spirit of gentleness, this means that we are to keep a spirit of humility.
Point #3
Living this Christian life requires constant humility.
One problem within the Church is this idea of importance.
I need to be an Elder/deacon/insert whatever title you need here to be important.
I feel as though I am not important if a title is not assigned to me.
We esteem much of ourselves when truly, we are called to think more highly of others.
Part of my testimony about God bringing me unto Himself through His Word and how I died and that Christ now lives.
Galatians 2:20
Because you have died in your new birth, We are called to seek after the Glory of Christ now and not the glory and exaltation of ourselves.
Because this is who we are now, we should live our Christian lives desiring restoration when we fall into sin.
Point #4
Remain teachable.
I was never more surprised in my time at Seminary then to encounter a professor who poured into me in ways that I cannot begin to explain.
We sat down and had many very serious conversations concerning Scripture and its applications.
And even with having a bachelors degree from one school, a Master of Divinity from another and a PhD in Evangelism, Dr. Johnston stood ready to be corrected if ever the time came, even by someone such as myself.
I can understand being corrected by a man like MacArthur or Dr. Allen.
But this man allowed me to state my case many times over and was willing to let -me- at that time 29 year old who has an arrogance and cockiness about me and yet with grace, this man listened to me!
He remained teachable because at the end of the day, he knew that it wasn’t about him or about me but ultimately about us leading one another to Christ Jesus.
There is a difference in being teachable and correctable but they go hand in hand.
Expect to be corrected when we run astray.
This is a medical term in the Greek which meant to set right a broken or dislocated bone.
This is the calling of the Church, to always be pointed towards the Gospel.
Brother Roberts talked about holiness, it doesn’t come without pursuit.
In that pursuit, we’re going to fail in some areas and when we do, we must remain open to correction so that our path towards Christ can be made right.
How many of you, if you were driving down the road and it was almost dark would give warning to another driver who didn’t have their lights on?
You’d flash them right?
What about if you were trying to warn them that what they were soon to drive up on was an icy patch or a section of deep water?
You’d flash them with your headlights as a warning sign to illustrate or warn that there was something coming up that needed to have their attention.
Your goal would be to bring their attention and their focus on what is right in front of them, just in case it may save their lives.
