Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - "In Sync"

Text:  Romans 12:9-21

What is In Sync?

When working in the church office, my phone is connected to the WiFi there. However, when I go into the sanctuary, I have to get out of that WiFi and into the one used there. If I don't, I can't control and lights or the thermostat. The two WiFi's are not in sync.

Now, if I want to study and switch between devices, there's a way to sync all of them. I can use my phone, the iPad, or the desktop computer.

Romans 12:9 talks about how we stay in sync with God.

1.  "Let love be..." - without hypocrisy. Putting on a show of love in front of people and then talking against them when we're away, is not love.

2.  Abhor - means to utterly detest. This word is used only once in the New Testament and refers to detesting evil so much that you must separate yourself from it.

3.  Evil - comes from the Greek word, "poneros." Evil is anything that is full of destruction, disaster, harm, or danger.

4.  Instead we are to Cling - It means to glue or cement something together, a permanent connection.

5.  Good - that which is good in benefit or effect.

6.  We can be synced to one of three things:

     A.  God, through the Holy Spirit
     B.  Our flesh nature
     C.  Satan's kingdom

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Troubled?

Text John 16:33 and Others

Tribulation - Things from outside that come against us such as persecution.

Troubles - Things from inside us involving the past and present. Situations with jobs, finances, relationships, etc.

Anxiety - Things that are coming up in the future.

John 14:27 tells us, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid."

The purpose of this kind of tribulation is to get us to:

1.  Stop believing
2.  Start fearing
3.  Not to trust

These are the enemy's goals. He wants to rob us of our peace.

When Jairus came to Jesus, he was in a desperate situation. His daughter was dying. Jesus agreed to go with him and heal her. They're interrupted by the woman with the issue of blood, and she tells Jesus her life story. While this is going on, a messenger comes to Jairus and tells him his daughter is dead. Jesus stopped and commanded him to not fear. Jairus obeyed, and his daughter was raised from the dead. (See Mark 5:22-43.)

In this passage we see that all our situations don't need to be fixed in order to have peace. All we need is Jesus. He gave Jairus His word, and the man received it.

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - Love Never Fails

Text:  I Corinthians 13:1-9

What is God's love?

Kind

This comes from the Greek word, "chresteuomai (from chrestos) - to show oneself useful, act benevolently, to be kind. It's the same word used in Ephesians 4:32, Matthew11:30 and Romans 2:4. Putting on a smile and not saying what you feel is not being "kind." It isn't suppressing your feelings, but looking at something with a long-range view.

A child goes through various stages, and we work with them to get through each one. In the same way, we put up with the inconvenience to ourselves for the benefit of others and help them through a particular level in their journey toward maturity.

Long Suffering

This word refers to patient restraint of anger - a long time before you get to anger. What makes love able to do this? It is not tuned into self. It is selfless, hope filled, growth-seeking love.

Sunday Morning Series - Under the Surface - How Should I Respond?

Text:  Romans 2:1-16 & Various

There are people in our lives that are difficult. How do we deal with them? There are three groups of difficult people:

1.  Selfish believers (also known as carnal believers)
2.  Selfish heathen.
3.  Vessels of Wrath

Jesus' encounters with the second group were few or just not recorded. However, He did have many with the first and third groups. The response to each group will be different.

Vessels of Wrath

There are numerous examples in scripture.

1.  I Kings 22:1-28 - Ahab was a vessel of wrath, repented, and then didn't end well.

2.  Solomon - I Kings 11:1-25 - With all his God-given wisdom, he married and kept concubines from cultures that served other gods. When he was old, he bowed to their pressure and constructed heathen temples and introduced false worship into the nation. He finally came to his senses and returned to the Lord.

Vessels of wrath face God's judgment. We should not get in the way when this happens except to intercede in prayer.

Selfish Believers

It is against their newborn nature to act this way. They act on their own self interest exclusively or primarily. The examples in the  Word show us we are not to allow that to go on unaddressed.

Examples of believers who were selfish:

1.  David - the prophet confronted him about his sin,and he repented.
2.  Peter - Jesus rebuked him and said, "Get thee behind me, Satan..."

Selfish Heathen

It is their nature to act this way (Romans 1:18-19, 7:14, and 8:7). You cannot deal with the symptoms (the actions). You must deal with the root.

Their nature must be changed. Response: I should direct them in the way of a changed inner nature and quite trying to get them to stop sinning.
