Jesus Lives

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are moving into the final two teachings of the 18 Lessons, a simple but important series.

The teaching this Thursday is on the Christian doctrines.

It's critical to lay a strong spiritual foundation in the Christian way of life because it establishes the framework for a believer's entire walk with the Lord. A solid spiritual foundation is essential for leading an effective, liberating, and successful Christian life, just as a solid foundation is necessary for a sound building.

Those brothers and sisters who don't establish a solid foundation are destined for spiritual immaturity because they lack the standards by which to determine what is right or wrong, biblical or not, acceptable or not, wise or foolish. Simply defined, weak spirituality is eliminated by a strong scriptural foundation.

As Paul warned in 1 Timothy 1:19: "𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐰𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡"

Many Christians don’t know this, but the Bible details six doctrines that will ensure a sound spiritual foundation.

Jesus Lives

Brothers and Sisters,

Christians have often wondered what it means when they hear the phrase "obedience is better than sacrifice." I know that I have struggled with it, especially in times of dryness when nothing seems to be going my way.

I noticed that Joyful people are honest and do what the LORD tells them to do. Joyful people also follow God's laws and look for him with all their hearts.

I notice that Joyful people don't make deals with bad people or hang out with bad people and that's something that I have learned recently. Joyful people want in God's ways and obey the Lord in everything they do.

𝐎𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

It can only be understood through the lens of the Old Testament. The law told the Israelites that they had to make sacrifices to God, but those sacrifices and offerings were never meant to be a substitute for obeying the law.

Even though the Bible puts a lot of weight on obedience, it's important to remember that obedience doesn't make Christians righteous. God gives us salvation for free, and we can't do anything to earn it. True Christian obedience comes from a heart that is thankful for the grace the Lord has given us:

Only Jesus Christ is perfect, so he was the only one who could walk in perfect obedience without sinning.

But as we let the Holy Spirit change us from the inside out, we become more holy. This is what sanctification is, which is also called spiritual growth. Christians become more obedient and holy the more they read God's Word, spend time with Jesus, and let the Holy Spirit change them from the inside.

Jesus Lives

Brothers and Sisters,

As a Christian, your goal is to be like Jesus.

Jesus modeled a generous life, and he calls you to reflect his generosity.

Tithing and offerings are the lifeblood that keeps the church moving forward and tithing and offerings allow churches and ministries to be able to fulfill the mission, vision, & call God has placed on them.

Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived and He left the comforts of heaven, took on human flesh, and gave his life on the cross so that we might live in him.

In response to Jesus’ generosity, we are called to be generous.

•𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲.
•𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
•𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

No one argues over whether Christians should be generous—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡.
When you place your faith in Christ, you will—in time—be transformed into a giver and when you start giving faithfully you will become a blessing to others and then you will radiate the love of Christ.

Jesus Lives

Brothers and Sisters,

In 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐰 𝟐𝟖:𝟏𝟗, Jesus commanded every believer to be baptized in water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Water baptism is an important and privileged ceremony which can be participated in only by those who repent and put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible records the fact that those who believed in Jesus and were baptized in water made a firm decision to follow Him and to become His disciples for the rest of their lives. They demonstrated their faith by committing themselves to His teachings and fellowship.

When God baptizes you into Christ, you become a new creation in your spirit, not in your body (flesh). Your body remains corruptible until the Resurrection (see John 6:39-40), but something inside changes.

Your heart is washed clean by the blood of Jesus, and your spirit is quickened (made alive) by the Holy Spirit. You now have the ability to communicate with God, hear His voice, love and obey Him, overcome sin, and walk out your salvation by faith.

Please join us this 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝟕:𝟑𝟎𝐏𝐌 as we continue 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟖 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 with teaching #13. I hope to see all of you there for anointed worship, some fellowship with other believers and a good word called "𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐦".
