Sept 25, 2019 Wed pm - Back to the Bible #3
Let us find ourselves. 7-Eleven Number to First of all has everyone been here for a good number? What? Okay, so that's a booklet number to this week and next week. Just going to give you a real quick understanding foundation of the church organization of the church today next week. What will be if you looked at you your number to I'll give you one one is worth. And what is one of the other categories for next week? Hey. Take a name. Name a So today. We're going to try to get through exactly get things going. Well, please have your Bibles on point when I was growing up as a child of the Church of Christ. They had something called swords real and they will call that a scripture that you would have found it first rent. So today we're not going to do this or not. Wait for me to come to read the scripture be prepared and your boss have it on your phone, but Northwest to get to everything we have to do today to be ready in that regard. that being said the Church of Christ a new testament Blueprints and worship and NAE not more information tonight for Billy Woodward Evangelistic effort us sitting down in personal Bible study. So she may or may not be in this book for tonight exercise is really about sharing the gospel with someone who's not as familiar as we are with it. So that is where we are beginning the turnpike in New Testament.
What is the Church of Christ a blueprint for?
What should the Church of Christ be a blueprint for a relationship with God?
In what? It should be a blueprint for a blueprint.
towards to Salvation inevitable Brookfield Church of Christ could be a blueprint for
how to live your life as a Christian how to live your life as a Christian that is ultimately where we need to be at work shared with people that are not
the nutrient for building the church in the Church of Christ will say something like this to a member of
the church never heard that they're not a member of the church. What does that mean? When someone says that but what does it mean when we sit down?
Are they baptized? What do you mean?
You were walking down the street and I didn't mean to throw you off. But when I say a member of that church, and you said baptism. Baptism could be remembered they have at work. So when I say baptism in general that may not mean baptism in the truth the Church of Christ. So that's what I'm trying to remember up and that can confuse other people. For the blueprint for building the church or the Church of Christ. That's kind of where we at where we are at the house of the god of Jacob that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his past. Absolutely. If you were in attendance on Sunday, you may have heard some of that right his words his ways a specific place for it. Region 8, right we talked a little bit about that on Sunday. So in terms of a prosthetic Word concerning the church or Church of Christ. That's go to contractor.
chiropractor Canby or other way around
Rossi maybe a company that builds home, but mr. Rossi doesn't actually build the house. Miss Rossi contract someone out to do the plumbing and it contracts someone out to do the windows in your contact someone out to do all those other time to think this is the point guard for the Cowboys getting to does he contract out to other people to do church building to build a church to build the Church of Christ.
Well, I could be the yes.
That will qualify as a true answer.
That would be so Matthew 16 to 18 in. primary Sunday School
Jesus is speaking of Jesus that I will do what everybody that knows me knows exactly what I mean. There is no I do not allow questions. When it comes to that, I'm very happy. Adamant about that point being understood right now if I feel that way about her. why the Bible says that the church is the Word begins with a B bride absolutely. So he's not willing to share establishment of that with it. Anyways, have you looking in your book Matthew 16:18? We had it written to us real simple question because evening and did Jesus build churches. Or the church singing you. Don't talk to her about you studying with somebody you're in the Book of Revelations somewhere and here come the seven churches of Asia.
He said the church. We were referring to it as a singular entity. Correct. Only seen one Walmart, or have you seen many Walmarts in 25 years of retail management. I can assure you that when I walk into a retail store.
And when you go to Walmart, what does it look like?
That's not what happened. Right? So we don't get confused in the idea that there are different locations for this one church. I we are we okay. Is that a house divided? Very quickly is the house divided John 17:23.
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me. That all of them repeat one father just as you are in me, and I am you may they also be an us for the world.
So that they all may be what one what? We got one building. we got one church, but we do have different locations. Right, we do have that person will attend.
Baby outfit the same thing and that there be no time were we got the same police? We're different location right now, and I don't we identify ourselves because we all do what we should
Man, he is the head of the body the church. He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead so that in everything he might have to see it.
It is what I saw when I was growing up in the house with two parents a mom and a dad right and you want something and you ask Dad and what will dad say if you'd like brother Keith. What are you thinking?
We should not meet the guy that let me phrase it that way. We're not allowing ourselves to believe he is now all these things are the blueprint of building the church. We know that it's coming we know where it's going to be right? We know that Christ is the we know that we're supposed to be together in this thing and we know that we should speak the same things. We should do the same thing. We should believe the same thing. That's it. Is know a verb.
Some things to watch for the things to watch for.
News and don't win. I am Siri. The word with people that are not members of the Church of Christ.
Dunes point out what the capitalized? Word says I will not capitalize word. What do you think that means? Scripture in the Bible. Where were the words with Jesus what the word says not like this what I said, yes, but I heard that your grandmother said none of that singularity.
What singularities can I point out when I'm sure but someone that does not it's not for me to go to church of Christ. How about this one Lord One Faith one baptism one, right? What are the woods?
One calling one Spirit the whole lot of ones out there, but I'm going to know every time I run into a singularity he died for it.
He died for it right no problems with division. Bad if we would call and say hi to some of the churches in the embassy of the church, we realize that there was some issues about right where we going to follow Christ as the authority. Why do we need to do this? Because he's the head of the church.
That's what God has given him for you. That's what the Bible says Brittany drive it and why didn't he can claim?
Rose and while he was dead
While he was dead, what did he do? The weather to the hadean world and return to we got back and except the one I cannot go to hell and come back for at least 40 days before they go so he didn't do it. Don't do what first one. What does that mean subjectivity? And what is the opposite of subjective? That is the opposite of subjective?
What is subjectivity?
What does it mean to be subjective?
It's an opinion is it opinion?
About the Lord's church, I give you a clue. Next week baby. Look where we supposed to talk about worship and we will talk about worship. So okay. Okay. I need to be more direct with my heel.
I asked for it with subjectivity. Don't deal with opiates deal with facts by using the scripture. I am not saying argue with fat because you can't argue with truth. There is no argument because we suggested that you point out what the word said not what I feel. right to worship practice
That's a feeling I should be 5 song.
That's how you feel. Don't argue with subject to profane and vain babblings because it will add some more what rationalize man's point of view. Maybe that's what they said back then.
but nowadays
it'll work better lights.
Man loves to rationalize that's not our job.
Is there a difference between Division and diversity division or a difference between
Harmony
Zacks light naturally
We do you make a confession. I have a t-shirt that has a White Sox fan because I don't want to be a stumbling block.
you can confuse diversity with The Village
It will harm you if I could. Walk next to that Harmon you can easily say what you know what we got some black members Filipino members or whatever we have.
But that does not mean they're Unified.
It just means that you get different kinds of people you could have. A lack of diversity and have a whole lot just because you all look the same don't mean y'all get along so don't get caught up.
Why diversity is for all of Christ but that conversation is autonomous. They can have juice on the first y'all believe y'all are one mine, but you do it exactly in study Google chance to really bolster the idea that we have a tremendous amount of diversity know. This is not what it's not in our lesson, but diversity is an opportunity at the same time.
We all have different talents. So that being said, how can the I get away with saying we don't need the fingers, right. That was good. That was a point that I was the burst. If you would like me in the 1970s nearby pizza if I'm not.
But it didn't mean to say thank you, sir.
predetermination
explaining what it is that we are next one.
You surf ordained Authority. Do not ever do that. Do not use her Christ ordained off thority, right? I've been in a very long discussion with somebody that said that they grandma was a Eldridge. What is algorithm and I asked if it would
And I said Woo.
Where you go to church? Okay, so
How do they handle that whole thing because the Elder wrist and he's the husband description.
Should not be usurping the Authority or unauthorized Authority outside of what we don't do that. That's not how we do. So it's not our job to say. Okay. Well we can grab a random stuff like that. So do not be surprised. If you not come up with something else receive. What's the Lord has already talked to some things to watch for now.
the blueprint for church organization
preference or tradition
How to record in Tradition what are those three things?
How would you define conscience seems right to man?
When does how?
I feel or understand. Super Scene script
It should not but there are times where we have seen where people have correct me and some other we're discussing this all three of us have women preachers. And I told them that I had heard that a prominent female.
Pastor Reverend whenever she was that day.
Got into it and brought up what the Apostle Paul says about women being silent in churches in that sense. And this woman. I don't receive what's it look. So, how does that work?
Call Zack.
Rite Aid places where they said it was a sin.
For this or that it was right until somebody discovered that one of the elders had the TV and it just did that way. It wouldn't offend the Lord.
Okay, right.
I don't want to hear it. I don't want to sing it if they say turn to that page in the song book. I'm not doing it. No, I'm not. You know what I don't like like this song and some people say say no names but if I saw you turn the music down an AP chanting we don't need we don't need no music.
Without baby. Okay, and then there's tradition. It's not right. If it's not done this time this way this day of the door doesn't give us an example that is perfect scripture overcome, its presence and traditions. I know you won't listen all the time.
Whatever I need to do. As a Believer is going to come out of that book. It's not going to come out or brother Johnson's Country. The price is known for what are you doing? I'm doing this. Give me you going to get me book chapter and verse.
And he gave some Apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers three things. I got a job for three things within the blueprint for the church organization. What we should have it is telling you why we should have it. That's a blueprint for a person. Give me that one more time.
s birthday 52 now
Was the same kind of got right? It's somebody's preachers know what I mean when I say that. What are dual function did the Apostle Peter have?
I'll talk with you and an opossum.
Anybody here ever seen the movie of Pop? What are the Sonic movie?
Gallo theater
What does it can you do that? Some people say that right to me and told me to be this one act right? And I'm looking for someone like Paul said I have been ordained. To do so or maybe someone encourage you to see if this is the kind of thing that you can but before they let you run and say that this is what I never told Keith that you are a preacher until I was ordained so and I can keep my documentation in case anyone needs to check the process that he was bored and he didn't even come up with some I was driving on the 294 and then I can stop. x63 brother man of honor and wisdom to make appointment over this is
the apostles I'm trying to make. This Vision clear. What does the Bible say? 1st Corinthians, 11:23
What should I do?
Google find app
and you can stop right there, but that's the point.
What does Paul say?
He did that as an apostle. He got it directly from who from Jesus. So it is from Jesus Jesus. Apostles and then Acts chapter 6 and 3 the Apostle said what?
Wirthman Brothers album on yourself and wisdom. Okay. So even though is that example, there's looking out amongst themselves.
They had a procedure. There is a blueprint at the top. So what's the lower belly bags?
And now I'm that's not how it works.
Write a book.
I'll be responsible for what you say or do it's not directly implying consequence. Answer to having to answer your owning the situation might be a problem might not so we're talkin about organization in the church if we talk about Elders deacons preachers teachers.
We'll look at the accountability. We have a tendency to put this scripture to whom much is given much as well. Think about the turn up on accountability with someone becomes an elder or below. Don't don't don't look at the title part because a lot of people you think about the account.
Johanna Square planks time much
answered and said every plant with my heavenly father has not planted shall be rooted up. So in other words somebody help me.
No, not necessarily. Mark Shane
Not necessarily because it's a secret it is none. What? It is an authorized.
right it sought after as it's been on Sunday.
Is there a Gucci but it what do you refer to something as kosher? It ain't but it's not what it's so correct so I can send you that.
Let's meet again.
Sure, what he has to say that every plant which my heavenly father has not planted every single one of them that God did not plant what don't matter if they ban a pastor the flames and and and and vacation homes Lancaster. What is the Bible say? Okay, we were using that point Apostolic directed The Apple Store.
But what does it mean? It means that God told the apostles and they had the authority because he wasn't as an apostle. I will say that so if they say it right this go back to 1st Corinthians 11. He said I received it from the Lord saying that he was betrayed.
Do this what and we can have a table with the words right on the front of it. Do this in remembrance portal say in remembrance of Me Okay bits. Oreo possible sale us not to do that.
What is a do? What was the action that they did?
where
We talked about a blueprint. now if you have the blueprints But you don't follow the instructions. What do you end up with? Thank you a hot mess.
the apostolic directory
you can't just go around in a point anybody?
but but we have the apostolic direct you to appoint them in which was
That is the blueprint permit local congregation accountability act 2017. What happened?
Local congregation accountability. What's do you believe local congregation accountability to leave or lean towards but let's speak in terms of Elders. I give you an example. I pull up to the Johnson's house I go in I put my feet on the coffee table and I'll tell his wife to bring me something to eat.
Know what you think will happen then.
If it's not my house. So what right do I have to go into a house and tell his wife Nation accountability you at the church of Christ in South Carolina somewhere. That's one thing if they ask for some help, but don't exercise your eldership in Philadelphia. I need your help. Give him your help. But by all means just because I'm The Man on 15338 North Menard. That's only place out the bed because I don't know.
You yourself know how I knew from the first day that I step foot in Asia.
where did he find? those elders doing their job Detroit singular form
now do we have a
a district
Do we have a regional health?
Do we have in our children in the state of Illinois? Y'all see where I'm going with this local. Congregation accountability does not suggest that there is a superintendent or otherwise or an arch elder or bishop or overseer. to do their job somewhere else the Apostle found in where they were supposed to be doing what they were supposed to do. Is that sound right? 2828 28 blocks of which the Holy Spirit has made with this song Blood speaks to what the responsibility for the Elders of the church. See you next week. We going to finish up on some of this and that are on there and worship. One of them before you come back next week real quickly do accept Apple Store accepting. Someone said I don't receive that note accountability always think about that when we just read we just had to read it sucks. But what is responsible for the responsibility?
Service applications, right? There's some things that must be done. Yes, you do because you suck service application after biblical example always pads do not do what for.
What do you suppose? That means assuming we know right? I'll just don't add or subtract them scripture back. What does take unauthorized Initiative for you think that means makeup Southern rim width If it's enough pressure in a bustle what it'll be under pressure in to release or avoid the pressure. They initiate things that God did not work day. For example. I do not know how a religious body can ordain and open homosexual to be in leadership.
That's taking the initiative to do something on offer up that we just talked about.
Don't attempt to update God's plan time at one time at 1:10. You don't need your help or biblical examples with secular examples. The leadership of the church is not a board meeting.
I've been in a fight and I still got some bruises, but you know how they say if you think that's bad. So this is something that we are in a mint if you have any questions, feel free to ask me any time that could be included in this kind of conversation bad you thank you for your time. And I know that all the time.
