Fundamentals of Baptism

by

In order to understand Baptism properly and doctrinally we need to see how the scriptures lays out the case for Baptism.

In order

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

  • Baptism is an exercise of faith that shows others what has taken place. It is NOT part of Salvation, but rather a result.
  • AFTER we get saved God wants us to be Baptized to show other the change in our lives.
  • The Ethiopian Eunuch received Christ THEN was Baptized!

What does Baptism represent?

We learn that as part of the Gospel that:

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

  • Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ

Romans 6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Like salvation, baptism is a one time event.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

— There is NO other purpose for Baptism in the New Testament. While many “religions” that try to say there is baptism as part of salvation or even the false doctrines of speaking in tongues… when rightfully dividing the truth and seeing the purpose of Baptism in the scriptures you will find the simplicity of Salvation is carried over to the simplicity of Baptism.

ADDL

Acts 2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

 

The Power of God

by

Romans 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Power can be a noun or a verb meaning it exists where it is used or not. More simply power means to supply.

We understand power today by the things it can provide:

  • It takes power to turn on the lights
  • It takes power to turn on the TV
  • It takes power to turn on the video games
  • It takes power to charge cell phones
  • It takes power to make a car go
  • It takes power to make the buses go

You see the power is there (noun) but when it is used it become an action (Verb)

  • At the wall socket there is power, ready to work (as long as the Church pays the bill)
  • In this room these lights are ready to come on, if you flip the switch.
  • But a lot of things take place behind the scenes to make that power available for you…

Just like a lot of things went on to create the power of salvation

Matthew 28:18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Jesus came and made a way for us to go to heaven. The Bible calls it the Gospel.

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

  • That Gospel is the power of God through Jesus Christ… Romans 1:16

Now what if you sat in a dark room, the power was there to light the room, but you never flipped the switch.

That is what it is like when the invitation is given to get saved and people just sit there.

  • Remember power is to supply – examples as there is time

Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Psalms 119:105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

God has supplied all the power we need through the word of God, we just need to plug into it.

Psalms 119:130  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

John 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

1 John 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

———–

Romans 1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation…

This morning the power has been supplied through Jesus and His word, the Bible. It’s the power that you can plug into this morning and get the light that lasts for all eternity.

The power of God

 

 

John 14:23 Love Me? Keep My Commandments

by

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

Love is a word that has no meaning without action

John 3:16 

The Statement: For God so loved the world,

The Action: that he gave his only begotten Son,

The Return: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Example

John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

In this account Peter is challenged to a comparison… lovest thou me more than these?

Who loves:

  • Food… lovest thou me more than these?
  • .. lovest thou me more than these?
  • Sleeping… lovest thou me more than these?
  • TV… lovest thou me more than these?
  • Pet… lovest thou me more than these?
  • Family… lovest thou me more than these?

So many say they love the Lord, but their actions say otherwise

The next part of that verse:

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

There are a lot of words to keep… but he also takes all the scriptures down to this:

Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Lastly is understanding that having a relationship with God… is a two way street

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

We can’t have a life where its all God give, give, give… when’s the last time you thanked God for what is done?

  • When is the last time you’ve told others about Him and church?
  • When is the last time you’ve read your Bible or Prayed?

So many say that the Love God… but actions always speak louder than words.

 

 

 

Anger

by

Proverbs 27:3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

  • Wrath and Anger in the Bible are often referred to as the way of fools. Those who have a lack of peace or understanding often turn to anger and wrath as a way to express themselves.

Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

  • Everyone in here knows someone who has a temper, always wants to fight; seems to always be upset at something.

Proverbs 29:22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

Is Anger Sin?

Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

  • Giving place to the devil is when your anger provokes a reaction.

Anger in itself is NOT sin… but when the anger is unjustified, unprovoked or in the flesh… it can easily become sin. This is why it it so dangerous because the control of the anger can so easily go from providential anger… that before you know it… it consumes you.

How to defeat Anger

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Proverbs 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Conclusion

You can not have peace in your life if you do not know the King of Peace …

2 Peter 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

 

 

 

 

Feasting on the Word

by

Proverbs 27:7  The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

There are many that come to church today and are no longer hungry. They have been filled with the ways of the world and have no room left for the Lord.

This is why it is so easy to be distracted.

What is causing people to come to Church without a desire to be fed spiritually?

  • They are filling their soul with the ways of the world

Luke 6:25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

Proverbs 1:31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

  • What you are eating does not satisfy

Proverbs 19:15  Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Proverbs 27:20  Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

  • We need to be filled with the bread of life

Matthew 5:6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

John 6:35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

  • We need to be filled with the Word of God

Deuteronomy 8:3  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Job 23:12  Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

The Red, White and Blue

by

In our country we have adopted the colors Red, White and Blue as our symbol of liberty. Liberty that started with the pursuit of people that sought freedom to worship God apart from a oppressive religious government. This pursuit of liberty came to the establishment that honored God in all matters of law, justice and the protection of freedom; using the word of God as a guide to the writing of a constitution and bill of rights that reflected God’s liberty.

Colors

While there is no official symbolism of the colors of the flag there is a similar attribute made to the seal of the United States.  (IMAGE)

The colours of the pales are those used in the flag of the United States of America;

  • White – purity and innocence
  • Red – hardiness & valor
  • Blue – the colour of the Chief signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice

This desire to have liberty comes from the Bible

Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

We also see these colors symbolized in the Bible

  • Red is a very special color to Christians because it is the color of the blood of Jesus that was shed for our sins.
  • White, like the flag signifies purity

Isaiah 1:18  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

In the scriptures the color blue is always combined with other colors of royalty but the workmanship or bindings are often colored in blue or the protective apron part of the priests garment was blue signifying the work one would do.

Ephesians 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

So as much as the liberal media wants to try and separate the Bible from the government, the truth is that they have been combined from the very beginning. The very foundation of our country was set based on the desire to worship as they believed without oppression.

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Veterans day celebrates those who have served, in any capacity; the facility that keeps us free from oppression. It is our opportunity to say, thank you to those who have served; ready to sacrifice all if needed to make sure that our liberty in Christ is preserved.

 

The Pony Express

by

Haggai 1:13  Then spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.

God has a message. A message that needs to be delivered

Today our theme is the pony express.

The Pony Express was a mail service delivering messages, newspapers, and mail using relays of horse-mounted riders that operated from April 3, 1860, to October 1861 between Missouri and California in the United States of America.

 

Operated by Central Overland California and Pike’s Peak Express Company, the Pony Express reduced the time for messages to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts to about 10 days. It encouraged catalogues to be created, allowing people to buy goods and have them brought by horse to the customers. (The first Amazon) 

 

It became the West’s most direct means of east-west communication before the transcontinental telegraph was established (October 24, 1861), and was vital for tying the new U.S. state of California with the rest of the United States. Its reliance on the ability and endurance of individual young, hardy riders and fast horses was seen as evidence of rugged American individualism of the those days.

 

 

God Has a Message that needs delivered

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

God’s message sometimes needs a messenger

Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

 

 

God’s Message is delivered by those who have received it already

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

God’s Message needs to be delivered on time

2 Corinthians 6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

God’s Message:

1 John 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

 

Undeliverable Mail (rejected)

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

 

A New Years Message for Teens

by

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

At this time of the year… the New Year, this is a good time to take some time to examine yourselves – Spiritually – Asking yourself this:

  • Am I better for God today, than I was a year ago.

An examination can come from a few perspectives. Let’s look at a few

Examination from God

Psalms 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

God through the Holy Spirit speaks in a still small voice. If you listen, you can hear Him guiding you and showing you things in your life you can do to be close to God.

Psalms 46:10a Be still, and know that I am God: …

1 Kings 19:12b … and after the fire a still small voice.

1 Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

Like a horse is controlled by the reins and is what connects the rider to the horse:

Try my reins is what you are connected to… and what “controls you”

  • Friends
  • Relationships
  • Devices

Do any of these bring you closer to God? Or farther away? Do they control you, or is God holding the reins?

Examination from the Word of God

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Self Examination

Self Examination honestly needs the other 2 to be effective, otherwise it’s just emotions like guilt, depression, anger or despair that seeks out a change… any change that might make things better.

This unfortunately is the case for so many as they make promises to God without the foundation to carry them out.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

  1. First part of self examination: are you saved? (whether ye be in the faith)
  2. Second is having a firm foundation: (prove your own selves)

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

  1. Thirdly is a comparison with the world. A reprobate is someone abandoned to sin. Takes pleasure in unrighteousness.

(Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?)

This comparison to Christians…

1 John 2:15a Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world…

– So we started with this question… Am I better for God today, than I was a year ago.

Luke 12:40 Teaching the Rapture for Children’s Church

by

Luke 12:40  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

  • This verse speaks of an event, an event that has not taken place yet.

It is a pivotal event that is at the core of our beliefs. It is as important as the fact that Jesus came and that He died for our sins.

  • Sometimes we forget this event in the affairs of this day, we get caught up in life sometimes… sometimes life gets caught up in us.

Have you ever had a bad day? Been sad?

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

We call this event of Jesus coming “the Rapture”

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

As our memory verse speaks about an event, it also talk about being ready…

Luke 12:40  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Be ready by getting Saved

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Be ready by telling others

1 Peter 3:15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Boldly Go

by

In the ‘60’s, a TV show set out to provide a mindset of exploration and adventure being pitched as “the wagon train to the stars”. Gene Roddenberry sought to provide a glimpse of society from the viewscreen of a starship. In this show called Star Trek, he identified issues of the day and attempted to provide a solution that a utopian mindset might solve.

If you’ve ever watched the original series you will see that while the option was presented, it was never really the solution. It always seemed to stop short of a being the best option, leaving a question of whether there was a better solution.

Years after the show was cancelled, fan popularity brought back a Motion Picture in 1979 that revisited the slogan: “To seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where noone has gone before.”

The interesting comparison and perhaps the opening that gave Star Trek it’s extraordinary longevity is the fact that during those same years, Christians we’re beginning to be shamed for having the answer that society was so much searching for.

If fact, when Christians began to be silent, society began to go boldly looking for the answer.

In the 60’s the Bible and Prayer were removed from schools, the Apollo 8 Astronauts were sued for reading Genesis aloud on their flight to the moon, homosexuality became a protected legal status in 1967; all the while Christians continue to become more passive and increasingly silent.

On this 40th anniversary of Star Trek the Motion Picture, I think it is appropriate to look at those in the Bible who have boldly gone on before us, having the very answer humanity needs and refusing to be silent. Their lives and precious words can empower us to boldly do the same.

Consider these great heroes of our faith:

  • Moses Boldly went into Egypt to say let my people go.
  • Abraham boldly went into new civilization when God said to go.
  • King David boldly went before his enemies with the power of God
  • Elijah boldly stood before the 450 prophets of Baal and the people saying: “How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him.”
  • Jesus, Paul, Phillip, Barnabus, Apollos, Pricilla, Aquila, Timothy and John ALL had a testimony of preaching the Gospel and BOLDLY taking the gospel… where it had never gone before.

You don’t have to have a Bible degree to be bold.

Acts 4:13  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

People can tell when you have spent time with Jesus.

Boldly speak the truth

Ephesians 3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him

With boldness comes knowledge of where our power comes from.

1 Corinthians 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Ephesians 6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

To keep Christians silent society has shamed the truth, diluted the Bible, populated false teachers, and called evil good and good evil.

Boldness from the Pulpit to the People

2 Corinthians 7:4  Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

Boldness of the People to the World

Colossians 1:23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Conclusion

The final frontier is not the exploration of space or the exploration of our minds; the final frontier is souls. It takes boldness for a Pastor to speak truth and boldness of the people to take the Gospel message to a lost and dying world. Outside these doors lies the greatest adventure you could ever know, Christians have been taught to fear it, hide from it and not speak against it.

But we are told to Boldly Go by our headquarters; to set our coordinates on souls, and perhaps take the Gospel where it has never gone before. Because Christians have been silent for so long… that may be across the street, rather than across the world.
