How can you know things are working together for good in situations or seasons where it feels like things are impossibly difficult. How can that be good? What is the good that the Apostle Paul is talking about?

How Should We worship the Lord in light of that. What should "Church" be like? Where the Old Testament (and the Old Way) is sometimes prescriptive (do this; don't do that), the New Testament (the New and Living Way) is focused entirely on an inward new birth transforming the outward life through the Law that is written in our Hearts. There are many examples in the Old Testament—especially in the Books of the Law—of the people being instructed to do specific things in a very specific way. God directed Moses to have the Tabernacle constructed in a very specific manner, by particular workmen. He was building a building which would be the physical place that God would "tabernacle" among the people. There are clear instructions about dimensions and materials and finishes and furnishings, and then the proper protocol to follow when there. It was similar with Solomon's Temple. And under the Old Way (which centered around Temple Worship), even the method is spelled out. How and whe...

You think you can be an effective church member? Not without love. You think you can be a faithful husband? Not without love Do you think you can be a good wife? Not without love Do you think you can be a good father or mother? Not without love Do you think you can be a pleasing disciple of Christ? Not without love There is NOTHING we can do to please God without love. Everything that is pleasing to the father is produced in and supported by and leads toward love. True love. Not without love Does it matter if I speak all the languages of men? Not without love. Does it matter if I speak the language of Angels? Not without Love. Without love I become a noisy, broken instrument Does it matter if I give my body to burned? Not without love. Does it matter if I have the gift of proficy? Not without love. Does it matter if I understand all mysteries? ...

Who are the People of God? 2. God does not see as man sees. 3. The only people who are the people of God are sinners. 4. Love is the clearest evidence of who the people of God are. 5. The Ekklesia is supposed to be a gathering of these people.

We discuss the dangers of pride and the utter insufficiency of any religio-social affiliation to justify us in the sight of God. We continue our discussion of the difference in doctrine and tradition.

What is the Gospel? 2. What is Salvation? 3. What is preaching and evangelism? 4. What is the Christian Gathering (AKA "Church") 5. What should our Worship Gathering be like? a. How should it be when the Body of Christ comes together?

We who have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ and adopted into his family and reconciled into his fellowship – if we are not careful, can forget what we've been saved from. So, God, in his mercy, places us in the refiner's fire from time to time. He allows us to experience pain and loss and fear – so that we might see clearly everything of ourselves that is not in Him. And this is when we are able to get down to the truth of the matter. What do we love most – the gifts or the gift-giver? • The Lord uses different things at different times in different people's lives. And what is difficult for you might not be so difficult for another. But the Lord knows how to deliver them that are his. o Financial problems o Relationships o Health o Family Whatever you are going through, God has a purpose, and He can deliver you!

We are consumed with the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and the pride of life. We were made for another world. And one day, those of us who are redeemed by Christ will experience a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. Until then, "Walk in the spirit, that you might not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." 1 John 2: 15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
