Listen closely today as Pastor. Stanley walks you through the new Bible series True Believers and Exposition on first John as he begins the service.
Expensive. In particular we praise God that he is preserved before these hundred forty-seven years and allowed it to be able to minister to the community as well as they believe it's at his brain to science also could join with us Sunday as we share. We don't want to ask that you would continue. To do all those things to see to do for example, social visit things than 60 apart from one another these folks are not in your purse in your family that you continue the Mad Lib called when your elbows and Washington DC and you have anyone who traveled out and you have gone to some John Mayer has suggested that you need to come back and do your own quarantine. If you will we have to do it if I buy those because I don't know if you will ultimately Crown we know that God enjoying the some time to get in the proper know that God is a miracle worker. He can work miracles and sometimes even uses Us in the process. I'm going to continue to do that. Just simply a good thing. The noon am also what we want to do is refer you back to 1st John 3 week and this week to First John chapter 5 verses 1 through 5 crayon God that you was only you can the superintendent by time and cost to be profitable to my brothers and sisters to kill myself. Only father that you would need someone to your son Jesus Christ father that for those of us who already believe in that we might be encouraged by Your Word. We ask that today in Jesus name. Amen. You know, it is said in the Christian Life. That's the normal Christian Life is the Victorious Christian Life and so is not experiencing the normal Christian pad victory in everything. We do you want to be winners if you will and not losers and the Bible two players that because we've done something we have overcome and this particular case in the impossible quiz 1 has been accepted Chrysler person wouldn't say that they had placed everything their life and everything. Distract us as we say three helpful holding him as the how that takes place. The first thing he does is born of God. Everyone that love them all so that because it means in this individual has come into existence because they have done something because they have made that confession. And they had a God who weighs in chapter 2 verse 1 in Jesus Christ how many people today has chose?
if he believes in their jobs and their friendship there people who believe in the government that people who Nnn the relatives and what not and what happens if Trouble Comes disillusion because their friend job the relationships to sustain the time of difficulty because they haven't trusted in Christ. You know, he has some people they'll stay well well jump off a building all the way down. We have any kids if you don't believe me and the end of that far
Godson call the Oneness movement. What is movement is primarily a movement?
God is functioning at the time that he
I do not believe that Jesus Christ is God's son but the voice of God speak to him. This is my beloved Son and the Holy Spirit and the yen to talk to you today for the testimony of the testimony of it over his head and I am a believer meaning I am born of God. How painful it must be for the individual who has come to the conclusion that they were almost to Chris and kind of like what happened before he said Paul you almost persuaded me to become a Christian Bale almost to get a situation but to Mrs. How vexing almost to catch a plane but we left at the terminal house and almost two escaped drowning and going to be in Ohio above all things there would be almost a Christian and yet in the Lake of Fire for eternity. It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, man. Be sick and almost lost. Yes. Yes. Yes. We see the first part of the testimony of it over, that is just what she is is that they say, I love God. I love God. Remember now chapter 4 verse 19 that God has for you is unconditional day is Father's Day and see if he can do all kinds of bad things in the very next time. They called that puppy. That's
Unconditional love is unconditional love is based on the best for the individual is not generated inside of a watch this button.
They love God because they are God's Commandments is because they love his children.
Chest of update has it watches. And also we love in his people and the individual God's children. What is talking about loving God's children? He said his silence when your words with Harissa paste is 14 called When you love God's people guess what you began to extend yourself Beyond yourself because God has given that love to you so that you can love somebody is impossible for person to say that they love die and not love to see people that they love God and not to show how much they care for people who are going through difficult times, but the second thing you said because I am believing. Also know because I love God, but also he says he has cheap God's Commandments. Yes. That's right. He says I keep God's Commandments.
Buy space and I want to know the love of God that we missed in the love of God commanded his Commandments are not burdensome means that that that they're heavy. That's the reason why it shouldn't be that way. Is because we accomplished all these things by faith. You know, there's some people are very very selective about what is that God has called them to do today is that we had what I call a kind of cotton candy favors to their kind of snowflake so you can I think that doesn't Challenger baby. That's easy. And not really trusting God heard that name before there's a book that's written by Elisabeth Elliot call through Gates of Splendor her husband Gemelli along with Nick State and a couple of missionaries who went out to do missions for Ecuador has it was doing missions. They ultimately was killed by the APA headings. what's it called that makes a bridge to algebra guide to being obedient to Christ is very very telling him very very poignant legislative says he says idea that obedience is not a momentary option is a diet a decision made before he lays that we have made the decision in my mind that when it comes down to. An opinion God's word and popularity God's word and culture God's word and traditions and a body by God's word is the thing because we'll be good morning that you don't because they have to date Siri not love quiz promo code.
The most the most powerful and compelling argument and response to being obedient to God because you love me. Because Christ reminds me of the story of young man who was playing in his father's Garden make a wreck of his father's daughter. Just because you was there very often. Send me something Happy Spa the begin to build a deep and abiding relationship with the sun began to talk over and over again.
Cuz you realize this this was what do you think changed and then change it is this is love love is a great motivator love is something that will cause us to lay down our lives.
You know that because Jesus is already demonstrated to us. But also the next thing we will cover is not only that they are.
You know, you might be having challenges this week and I want to share with you just just as a side note that if you are leaving today you are in Warfare. Did you don't notice this? What you pretty much already? Did you already been taken captive? But the reality is that you and I are in a spiritual warfare and the devil wants to do a couple of Cause you become depressed if he wants to call you become a person who is always under a cloud function in such a way. He knows that maybe you have not realized is that you have lived in the victory that you have watch this body face your life. I can always tell because they're living under a cloud not knowing that there was a rabbi they were present and 260 248 positive commands in law. David came on the song fifteen and reduce them to 11, Isaiah chapter 33 verse 14 and 15 6. Micah 6:8 vitamin D3 and habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4 reduces them all into one and name. Is this the just shall live by faith. That's how we have the victory you and I have the victory is by Facebook. And because we had that he brings out to his in chapter 5 verse he says I have every because I am born of God. I'm not self generated. I don't have a manufactured Christianity my Christianity is that because God because I have received this honor. In fact the same as hear the word begotten is the same word that they use when they talked about Jesus Christ being the only begotten son of God. Voices for whatever is born of God overcomes the world in other words, if you are crushing who is playing Christ by stay this way, then you then overcome the word in the word overcome. Here's the same where you get to work Nike from that is Victorious.
The faith that you and I have in Jesus Christ. It is nothing that causes us to overcome the world and its system and it's mine because I just recently won. I am leaving them into I love God because I'm bored button because of my favorite. The Bible says it's very very well.
Without faith. It is hard to please. Right. But without faith is challenging you please God without faith is difficult difficult to be got no, he says without faith it possible to please God and therefore because we have come by 6. We are pleasing to God you don't say this only as good as I know that right where you have points towards and that's the thing that will validate your Victory. But if your face is in your job, then that's that that job make pack up and go to China One Day. Your faith is in your spouse. Then what happened at spouse. They may love you as much as they can but one day the Lord made called him home and there you are there goes your Facebook relationship friend. Just what all you have to do is have a particular persuasion or believer some sort and what happens if you automatically Who invested in them in the bedroom, but if you put your faith in the Alpha and Omega the beginning of the end the one that was before Abraham was that is what happened? Your face Boulevard forever because your faith is in the 1/4. George Leland was a man of great faith. He once said he don't want the lights to increase the famous children. We are two instead of one team no trials before the sign for patient to be willing to take them from God's hand as a means. I say and said delivered obstacles and difficulties and sometimes of the Grave because it's in the midst of controversy and contest if you will that faith is born and bird is it in mr. That that God is already let us know that we overcome.
Yes, God, he lets us know that we have the victory. Let me do it by faith. Who is he that overcometh the world but he that they leave it that Jesus is the son of God. It was really very simple. All we need to do please.
How old is Jesus? I surrender all to you is somebody that you're supposed to say in church they would say I'm hating on you.
Education law say you can't know what number to stay or to get into heaven or your good packs in your bendy's won't be enough memory. Jesus had the conversation with the Brickyard. He said all these things that you've done to me, but still that wasn't enough was not enough to get into heaven. So you may say they will pass this. There is none righteous. No not one. None of that is good enough, but you know, what if you trusted Christ by faith Can you get have this testimony of an overcomer that you simply are? I'm a Believer with me and I planted my feet. I dropped my Foundation is all in Jesus everything that I am and everything that I would because I trusted him but I love God. I don't love God with this service. I love God with my life. I love God beyond the truth. I love God beyond the religious to talk. I believe God beyond all of the Christian. Jargon. I love him in my life and actions, but I have if I'm trusting God.
