Put On Righteousness - Ephesians 6:14bDavid Turner
We cannot clothe ourselves in our personal righteousness, because any righteousness we have in ourselves falls short of God's standard of righteousness. Instead, we must shield our hearts with the righteousness of Christ. We are declared righteous because of his righteousness, not because of anything in ourselves.

Take up the helmet of salvation eph 6 17aDavid Turner
The head is the location of our thoughts and memories. We must protect our minds by putting on the helmet of salvation.

Do you not know: we are baptized into Jesus' death, you are a slave of sin or righteousness, as Christians we are dead to the law, the spirit of God dwells in you, a little sin spreads through the whole body, saints will judge the world, the unrighteous will not be in heaven, those who preach the gospel deserve payment, we should run the christian race to win, Christ in in you, friendship with the world is enmity with God.
God gave us His Word for a purpose. God wants us to be with Him in heaven. To do this we must change from serving Satan to serving God. God gave His Word so we would know how to live our lives. God gave His Word so we would change.

I. AM I SEEING TO IT THAT MY THOUGHTS ARE RIGHT?
II. AM I SEEING TO IT THAT MY ATTITUDES AND MOTIVES ARE RIGHT?

"These are the times that try men's souls."
This simple quotation from one of America's Founding Fathers, Thomas Paine, not only describes the beginnings of the American Revolution, but also the the increasingly crazy world of 2014.
Many people may be distracted by such times but followers of Jesus must keep their eyes on Jesus and stay the course, not give up and run the race God has assigned to each of us till He calls us home or He comes back to earth.
This message is a reminder of the high stakes of staying in the race until the end and not giving up.

Even in 2015, Christians have to be alert to what some Christian leaders teach. Adding rules to the grace of Jesus, making some rituals a special path to blessings beyond just living faith in Jesus, using Old Testament Law to add to New Testament grace is still alive today and needs to be resisted so we can all walk in the freedom Jesus gives us in the New Covenant

Hebrews 4:11-13 God's Word: Produces faith, cleanses us, brings reconciliation, tells us how to be saved, blesses us, answers life's questions, solves life's problems, helps us weather life's storms, tells us what is right and wrong, produces fruit in our lives, will judge us.
Barnabas was a companion and fellow-preacher with Paul. This Epistle lays a greater claim to canonical authority than most others. It has been cited by Clemens Alexandrinus, Origen, Eusebius, and Jerome, and many ancient Fathers. Cotelerius affirms that Origen and Jerome esteemed it genuine and canonical; but Cotelerius himself did not believe it to be either one or the other; on the contrary, he supposes it was written for the benefit of the Ebionites (the christianized Jews,) who were tenacious of rites and ceremonies. Bishop Fell feared to own expressly what he seemed to be persuaded of, that it ought to be treated with the same respect as several of the books of the present canon. Dr. Bernard, Savilian professor at Oxford, not only believed it to be genuine, but that it was read throughout, in the churches at Alexandria, as the canonical scriptures were. Dodwell supposed it to have been published before the Epistle of Jude, and the writings of both the Johns. Vossius, Dupuis, Dr. Cane, Dr. Mill, Dr. S. Clark, Whiston, and Archbishop Wake also esteemed it genuine: Menardus, Archbishop Laud, Spanheim, and others, deemed it apocryphal.
The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians is an epistle attributed to Polycarp, an early bishop of Smyrna, and addressed to the early Christian church in Philippi.

We are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God. What does it mean to present our bodies as a living sacrifice? How do we present our bodies as a living sacrifice?
Ephesians 4:11-16 Sins that cripple the church. God wants us to be holy and without sin. Sin in the church spreads to others. We must separate ourselves from sinful influences. Sin cripples the church and keeps it from being effective.
2 Clement was traditionally believed to have been an epistle to the Christian Church in Corinth written by Clement of Rome sometime in the late 1st century.
Genesis 47:13-15 Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." There are a number of reasons that money fails.
I beseech you – beg, urge, encourage, appeal
By the mercies of God – compassion
Present your bodies a living sacrifice – as opposed to a sacrifice of death
Holy, Acceptable to God – pure, without spot or blemish
Your reasonable service – since Christ died for us we should live our lives for him. 2 Corinthians 5:15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
John 3:16 is the most quoted and most remembered scripture from the bible.
Did you know that there are a number of other 3:16 verses that relate to and are very important to our spiritual lives and our living for Jesus?
Tonight we are going to look at some of those 3:16 scriptures.
Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Fear is common to all. We all fear something. Some fear is God given. Children come into this world with a fear of heights and of loud noises. Some fears are there to protect us from physical harm: snakes, darkness, suffocation, being burned, death, etc. In christians, most fear is a tool of satan
Brotherly love has amazed many people throughout the centuries. Love of the brethren is commanded by God. Brotherly love mus be worked at to achieve. problems in the church are either directly or indirectly connected to lack of love for one another. love is the key to a growing or even a surviving church.
Jesus makes it very clear that we need to forgive others in order to be forgiven ourselves by God. Forgiveness is a key to having successful relationships. we will look at nine roadblocks to forgiveness from the book, "From Anger to Intimacy"
in Galatians chapter 3 Paul contrasts salvation under the Law of Moses with the salvation we have through Jesus. Galatians 3:22-29 is full of truths regarding our true position as sons of our loving Father. We will look at 8 things which our faith in Christ will cause us to become.
We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works. We are blessed for doing God's work. We are to speak and do. Faith without works is dead. Faith is shown by our works.
Jonah is a book about god's desire to save the lost and man's role in that. there are some great lessons taught in the book of Jonah. We will look at questions Jonah was asked in the book and ask those questions of ourselves.
we all need motivation at times. what motivates you? Paul said 5 things to the brethren at Rome to motivate them to continue their service no matter how great the suffering became. the good always outweighs the bad. the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. God's providence works for us. Judgment is on our behalf. the love of God is on our behalf.
Repentance is a change in your allegiance, your expectations, your values, your priorities, your mission and your morals. can you say there has been a change in your life since you met the Lord?
Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus would be called or known as wonderful. Wonderful in His birth. Wonderful in His miracles. Wonderful in His teachings. Wonderful in His resistance to sin. Wonderful in His accomplishing His work. Wonderful in His fulfilling prophecies. Wonderful in His sacrifice. Wonderful in His resurrection. Wonderful is His Name.
Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus would be called or known as Mighty God. Prophecies said he would be God. John said He was Creator and God. Jesus claimed to be God. Thomas said He was God. Paul said He was Creator. Paul called Him God. John said Jesus was the True God.
Isaiah 9:6-7 His name will be called or He would be known as counselor. He is a counselor who understands your struggles. He is a counselor who cares for you. He is a counselor who is committed to you.
I John 2:28-3:3 Tests for Christians. Do you abide in Christ? Do you practice righteousness? Who knows you? Are you a child of God? Are you pure, just as He is pure? What is your identity?
I John 4:1-6 tests for christians 3 - the test of false teaching. Bluffing your way. Do you confess the Son? Do you listen to the Son? Do you obey the Son? Do you pass the test?
Ephesians 3:14-21 How big is your God? The ability of my God is boundless. The ability of my God goes beyond my prayers. The ability of my God is beyond my ability to imagine. The ability of my God is manifested in the lives of His people. The ability of my God is seen through His glorious church. The ability of my God is eternal.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

2. Hebrews 4:11-16 Let us therefore be diligent to
enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the
same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of
God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of
soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him
to whom we must give account. 14 Seeing then that
we have a great High Priest who has passed through
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to
help in time of need.
3. A. In a previous sermon, we looked at the “Let us”
scriptures in the book of Hebrews.
B. There are 13 of those “Let us” scriptures in
Hebrews.
C. Today we want to look at 13 “Let us” scriptures in
other New Testament letters.
D. Two of those in the NT are things we should not
do. They say, “If certain things were true then we
had just as well do those things.
1. 1 Corinthians 15:32 If, in the manner of men, I
have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what
advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise,
"Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"
2. Romans 3:7-8 For if the truth of God has
increased through my lie to His glory, why am I
also still judged as a sinner? 8 And why not say,
"Let us do evil that good may come"?--as we are
slanderously reported and as some affirm that
we say. Their condemnation is just.
4. I. USE OUR GIFTS
Romans 12:6-8 Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us, let
us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in
proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us
use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in
teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation;
he who gives, with liberality; he who leads,
with diligence; he who shows mercy, with
cheerfulness.
5. II. WALK PROPERLY
Romans 13:11-14 And do this, knowing the
time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than
when we first believed. 12 The night is far
spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put
on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly,
as in the day, not in revelry and
drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not
in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the
flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
6. III. NOT JUDGE ONE ANOTHER
Romans 14:10-13 But why do you judge your
brother? Or why do you show contempt for
your brother? For we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is
written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every
knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue
shall confess to God." 12 So then each of us
shall give account of himself to God. 13
Therefore let us not judge one another
anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a
stumbling block or a cause to fall in our
brother's way.
7. IV. PURSUE PEACE AND
EDIFICATION
Romans 14:19 Therefore let us pursue
the things which make for peace and the
things by which one may edify another.
8. V. NOT COMMIT SEXUAL IMMORALITY,
TEMPT CHRIST, TAKE HEED
1 Corinthians 10:6-12 Now these things became our
examples, to the intent that we should not lust after
evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not become
idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The
people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to
play." 8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some
of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand
fell; 9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also
tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; 10 nor
complain, as some of them also complained, and
were destroyed by the destroyer. 11 Now all these
things happened to them as examples, and they were
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of
the ages have come. 12 Therefore let him who thinks
he stands take heed lest he fall.
9. VI. CLEANSE OURSELVES
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 – 7:1 Do not be unequally yoked
together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has
righteousness with lawlessness? And what
communion has light with darkness? 15 And what
accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a
believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has
the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of
the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them
And walk among them. I will be their God, And they
shall be My people." 17 Therefore "Come out from
among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not
touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." 18 "I will
be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and
daughters, Says the LORD Almighty." 2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and
spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
10. VII. WALK IN THE SPIRIT, NOT
BECOME CONCEITED
Galatians 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-
control. Against such there is no law. 24 And
those who are Christ's have crucified the
flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we
live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking
one another, envying one another.
11. VIII. NOT GROW WEARY, DO GOOD
Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not grow
weary while doing good, for in due
season we shall reap if we do not lose
heart. 10 Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all,
especially to those who are of the
household of faith.
12. IX. PRESS TOWARD THE GOAL
Philippians 3:12-16 Not that I have already
attained, or am already perfected; but I press
on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ
Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do
not count myself to have apprehended; but one
thing I do, forgetting those things which are
behind and reaching forward to those things
which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for
the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are
mature, have this mind; and if in anything you
think otherwise, God will reveal even this to
you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have
already attained, let us walk by the same rule,
let us be of the same mind.
13. X. NOT SLEEP BUT WATCH AND
BE SOBER
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 But concerning the
times and the seasons, brethren, you have no
need that I should write to you. 2 For you
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the
Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For
when they say, "Peace and safety!" then
sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor
pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall
not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in
darkness, so that this Day should overtake you
as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of
the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
>>>
14. X. NOT SLEEP BUT WATCH AND
BE SOBER
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but
let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who
sleep, sleep at night, and those who get
drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are
of the day be sober, putting on the
breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet
the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not
appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died
for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we
should live together with Him.
15. XI. NOT LOVE IN WORD OR
TONGUE BUT IN DEED AND TRUTH
1 John 3:16-18 By this we know love,
because He laid down His life for us. And we
also ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren. 17 But whoever has this world's
goods, and sees his brother in need, and
shuts up his heart from him, how does the
love of God abide in him? 18 My little
children, let us not love in word or in tongue,
but in deed and in truth.
16. XII. LOVE ONE ANOTHER
1 John 4:7-11 Beloved, let us love one
another, for love is of God; and everyone
who loves is born of God and knows God. 8
He who does not love does not know God,
for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was
manifested toward us, that God has sent His
only begotten Son into the world, that we
might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not
that we loved God, but that He loved us and
sent His Son to be the propitiation for our
sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also
ought to love one another.
17. XIII. BE GLAD AND REJOICE
AND GIVE HIM GLORY
Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and
rejoice and give Him glory, for the
marriage of the Lamb has come, and His
wife has made herself ready.
18. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
