Message 2
The Killers that Live Among Us
A word of Introduction:
· Philippians 3:2 (GW) — 2 Beware of dogs!
Beware of those who do evil things.
Beware of those who insist on circumcision.
· To call someone a dog was a slur
· They are evil people
· Paul was warning this church to be on the lookout for these kind of people
· Who insist on circumcision
· We would call this legalism today
· With that context I have a story I want to share
Me:
Let’s go have lunch
a. Someone found this on the internet
i.
I was in complete shock
ii.
Then I was mad
iii.
They were grace killers – still are.
b.
This is when Grace Church had it’s start
i.
We had to do better
ii.
The phrase A Church of Second Chances
We:
Grace Killers
a. THERE ARE KILLERS ON THE LOOSE TODAY.
i.
The problem is that you can’t tell by looking.
ii.
They have the appearance of very religious
iii.
They talk the talk
b.
But they are killers
i.
They kill freedom, spontaneity, and creativity; they kill joy.
ii.
They kill with their words and their pens and their looks.
iii.
They kill with their attitudes far more often than with their behavior.
Wearing a suit
i.
What are your thoughts about pastor wearing a suit on Sundays?
It seems as though I don't see this as much anymore.
1. Bring your best to the master.
He is worthy of our best is he not?
If not then in our dress what else can we slack on?
If you ask me this has nothing to do with legalism or tradition but our hearts!!!!
I wear a suit and tie every Sunday and really can’t understand why everyone doesn’t.
It’s all about the heart.
2. My personal conviction is that if I wouldn’t wear any less to meet the President, I shouldn’t wear any less to meet with God and His bride.
d.
Beware of those who do evil things.
i. “This day—this very moment—millions who should be free, productive individuals are living in shame, fear, and intimidation.”
ii.
The tragedy is they think it is the way they should be.
iii.
They have never known the truth that could set them free.
iv.
They will bully you into submission
God:
The Liberty of Grace
a.
You are free!!
i. Philippians 3:2 (GW) — 2 Beware of dogs!
Beware of those who do evil things.
Beware of those who insist on circumcision.
ii.
Stand up and fight back
iii.
You are not depriving me of my liberty
Knowing Christ
i. Galatians 5:1 (NLT) — 1 So Christ has truly set us free.
Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
ii.
I will not submit to your legalistic laws
You:
Grace is Risky
a. Question?
Is it ok to…
ii.
Lottery – smoke – wear yoga pants – coffee – caffeine
b.
Cause a brother to stumble
i. Romans 14:14-23
ii.
We can focus on not causing a brother to stumble
1.
How far do you take that
2. Should I wear a suit?
iii.
Romans 14:14 (NLT) — 14 I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat.
But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.
(Five guys) (pork steak)
iv.
Romans 14:21 (NLT) — 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if it might cause another believer to stumble.
