Teaching

Pastor John will be examining the Easter story through the vocation of a Sanitation Worker. God is a God who cleans things up (and keeps them clean). Have you ever noticed how much he does that?

“They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.

It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: the king of the Jews.

Romans 4:13-25

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection [tyrannizing over them. Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave— Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [the price paid to set them free]."[Matt 20:25-28 (AMP)]

Churches have adult bullies, "know it alls", and trouble makers. They cause arguments, division, and grief for the pastors. They cause fights in the worship band, hurt feelings with the media team, and pressure the leadership with demands and threats. The churches fall into conflict! Because of these issues, many people in our day run away from the church, reject "the traditional church" or judge the pastor. Is that how God wants His disciples to handle situation?

The constant demand of American adults who expect their pastor to magically keep up with their every need, visit them if they missed a Sunday worship gathering, and personally make them feel good through all issues of life is pathetic. This is NOT want Jesus did when He walked the earth, nor is it what He taught His followers to do.

It really is time for a CHANGE inside the church! Your pastor has bigger things to do. "Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastorsand teachers.12 Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ." [Eph 4:11-12 (NLT)] My friend, stop being a spiritual fan, and take on the responsibility of God's work. The pastor is the coach, not the player. You are.

"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God's laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."(Matthew 5:17-19 NLB) Well, Jude says, "ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness"contradict (deny or disown) Jesus and put words in His mouth. Grace is not a license to ignore God's written commands!

"For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly persons who pervert the grace of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." [Jude 1:4 AMP]

In the first generation of the church, repentance and the grace of God were already attacked and distorted by false teachers. Remember, our Lord warned us "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing..." [Matt 7:15 (NKJV)]

BFTBC – Acts 13:1-8 – Midweek Service – Pastor D. A. Waite

On Thursday, April 2, 2015, , Pastor D. A. Waite discussed Acts 13:1-8 at the midweek service of the Bible For Today Baptist Church of Collingswood, New Jersey.

Acts 13:1-8

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

The key to the power of God is simple, DO WHAT HE SAYS! This principle is illustrated in the story of the wedding in Cana of Galilee. Wonderful message that challenges Christians to dare to act like Jesus acted, live like Jesus lived, and do like Jesus says to do! In light of the events occurring in Indiana and other states today, it is obvious that Christians do not know how to live anything like Christ, and this is why the church sees so little of the power of God today as it has in days past.

Let's start with Jesus, he quit his job as a carpenter and for the time of his ministry took support from a bunch of women. They gave him food, clothing and money when he needed it. They completely supported him. Yes the God of heaven who could turn stones into bread received continuous financial support from a group of women who traveled with him. They also cooked for the disciples and supplied their needs. Say what you want, but Jesus accepted money while he preached the Word across the country. God's Word translation spells it out clearly, "Joanna, whose husband Chusa was Herod's administrator; Susanna; and many other women. They provided financial support for Jesus and his disciples." [Luke 8:3 GW]

So what does God expect from the church today in regards to a pastor's financial support? What does God expect you to do? You won't believe what the Bible says!

Two primary doctrines that cannot be bent, ignored, or twisted without destroying your eternal hope is REPENTANCE and GRACE. Christ warned repeatedly not to be deceived, and spelled out clearly how to be protected from such satanic lies and confusion. Today both these truths are buried under the lies of false preachers and teachers, and the church is full of corrupted members claiming religious freedom to live their lives without the burden of God's rules. We are in troubling times!

Christ's first series of messages were completely based on repentance. By repeatedly preaching "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" [Matt 4:17 (NKJV)] the Lord gathered followers. The full force of His call was to everyone to "change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins" (AMP). After gathering disciples he shifted to explaining the full weight of what this life of repentance meant. We call it the Sermon on the Mount, and Christ finished His truth with extreme warnings of great deception about this life of repentance.

Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. 14 But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Matt 7:13-14 (AMP)]

Intern Pastor Cari looks at the book of Ecclesiastes through the lens of Wisdom literature. This week’s homework is to find a place where you can sit and read the book of Ecclesiastes. This could be at a coffee shop, along a walking path, in the mountains, at Costco, in a mall, at the train station or bus stop, etc. Read it somewhere other than your house. It’ll take about an hour. Reading Scripture within the world around us doesn’t change the text but it does highlight different things in the text. What do you hear when you read this book? Is Ecclesiastes positive and life affirming or is it pessimistic and cynical?

This week we continue our ongoing walk through the Book of Romans. We continued with chapter 14, verses 21-23. Unlike the worldly, carnal mentality of "each to his own," God's people are mindful of their actions as they relate to our fellows believers and the weak in particular. The need for a spiritual backbone. (Sess 49 - CH 14:21-23) HD
