Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Let Us Love

Text:  I John 4:7-16

Loving - I John 4:7-16

1.  Love is of God.

2.  Everyone who loves is born of God.

3.  And knows God.

4.  To not walk in the way of love is to walk in the way of not knowing God.

5.  Why did God love us?

John is talking about loving our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Bible also talks about false brethren. How do we know if someone isn't a genuine brother?

1.  They promote themselves and their agenda.
2.  They suppress the truth.
3.  They suppress the gifts of others.

A few weeks ago, we asked the question, "What is the opposite of love?" The instinct of many is to say, "hate." However, God is love, and yet He said there were 7 things He hates. He also said, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated." So, "hate" cannot be the correct answer.

The opposite of love is, "fear." (I John 4:17-19). Fearing is not trusting God. Verse 18 says, "There is no fear in love..."

So, how are we to understand this in our lives here?

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Loving Who?

Text:  I John 3:10-4:6 and Various

Know What Is In You!

1.  The love of God is in you.
2.  Just because something is in us, doesn't mean it is at your disposal. There are things that have to be drawn out.
3.  Proverbs 20:5

Operate in Love

1. Loving our brother (and sister) is not an option.
2. Cain murdered his brother, Abel, because he found favor with God through his obedience.
3. Walking in love is so important in God's eyes. If we hate our brother, we're considered a murderer. How do we develop the love walk?

   A.  Get out of selfishness.
   B.  Get into compassion.
   C.  Find  God's mercy.
   D.  Love your brother.

What is the difference between hating your brother and responding to a vessel of wrath?

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Vessels of Wrath

Text:  Romans 9:1-29 and various

People Who Reject God - Romans 9:1-13

Paul writes that he has great sorrow and continual grief. He started out preaching to the Jews of his day, but they rejected Jesus. Paul feels this way because he knows the condition rejection of God brings upon people.

In the Old Testament, God accepted Jacob and rejected Esau while they were still in the womb. God has a different perspective than we do. He knows the choices we will make before we make them. He is outside time and can see from the beginning to the end. Still, He gives people the opportunity to obey Him.

Romans 9:14-29

God had a plan on how to release Israel from the bondage of Egypt. Pharoah could have let them go willingly, but refused. So, God struck at the very gods the Egyptians worshiped: the Nile river, frogs, etc. By choosing to reject the way of God, he also chose to  be used to demonstrate the power of God.

Why does God still find fault with Pharaoh and others who go in a direction that God has planned for?

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Moved With Compassion

Text:  Jude 1:20-23 and Various

What's the difference between the compassion and love of God?

What Jesus Taught

In Matthew 18:23-35, we have the story of the unforgiving servant. We're not going through the entire passage, but focusing on one aspect. The servant was forgiven much, but he refused to forgive someone of a much smaller amount. He got into trouble because of his lack of compassion.

In Luke 10:30-37, the story of the Good Samaritan is told. The man had mercy on the victim of a robbery.

Luke 15:20 tells us about the Prodigal Son. The father didn't chase after the son, but when he returned, he had compassion on him.

What are the three ways Jesus moved on behalf of others?

1.  Faith on the part of the receiver.
2.  Compassion
3.  A combination of faith and compassion.

Jesus had compassion in some cases, but always had love. To hear the entire message, please go to our website and click on the Listen Tab. You can listen online, download it to your MP3 player or podcast.

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Good Action But Wrong Motivation

Text:  Acts 4:32-5:11

A.  Know Why Something Is Done - Acts 4:32-35

     1.  The church at Jerusalem had all things in common. This is not how the church was commanded to operate. It was never done again in scripture. It was done to fill a temporary need.

B.  Know That Something is Done - Acts 4:36-37

      1.  Barnabas sold an extra piece of land, not his home.
      2.  He was motivated to help promote the revival that had begun in the city.
      3.  As a result, he received recognition.

           a.  This did not take away his reward.
           b.  Recognition wasn't his motivation for what he did.

C.  Should I Know Why Too?  - Acts 5:1-11

     1.  Ananias and Sapphira desired to help, but they also desired something more.
     2.  While the property and money remained in their hands, it was under their control. They
          could have given part or all of it.

What motivated Ananias and Sapphira to lie?
