Call to Worship
Offering
Rejoice in the Lord.
The word Rejoice means to express joy or exalt the Lord
The praise, adoration and reverence of God, both in public and private.
It is a celebration of the worthiness of God, by which honour is given to his name.
This year should start with putting God in His proper place in our mind and in our hearts.
many (some would say all) of our spiritual Problems come from God not having the right perspective.
what are some things that we exalt above God?
Money (Job)
Relationships
status (reputation)
recreation
Family.
Sex
Identity
entertainment
comfort
Me time
when we put God in His proper place, then we have an grip on what to really be concerned about.
when we put God in His proper place then we come to understand who we are and where we are in the world.
we often put ourselves in the wrong place.
when you put God first all other things are able to be ordered.
there is no way we can put God higher than He already is but when we worship we calibrate our souls properly.
Don’t be Drawn away from Christ
when the Apostle Paul says it is for your safety, it is because we need to here the same things over and over to make them part of who you are.
it was once said repetition is the mother of all learning.
we need to here them over and over until we understand them and know them.
Paul here is specifically speaking of people who are trying to drag people back into Judaism and away from Jesus.
people today do not so much want to drag us into Judaism, they wanna drag people into a anonymous spirituality and a Generic God.
beware of manipulation of people who draw us away from Christ.
have no confidence in the Flesh
here we see the Apostle Paul use a play on words.
circumcision, was the starting point for Judaism.
Our apostle that Christian circumcision, those that worship God in the spirit, Rejoice in Jesus Christ, and have no confidence in the flesh.
If anyone is to have confidence in the flesh It is The Apostle Paul:
He was circumcised on the eighth day:
when the Apostle Paul gives his linage, He gives his tribe Benjamin.
The Tribe of Benjamin stayed true to the Davidic covenant after the kingdom divided and was the tribe that Israels first King came from.
He was of the strictest sect of his day.
if you want proof of His zeal He persecuted the Church.
when it comes to the Law as far as human Judgement can be rendered blameless.
But we are called in verse 3 to avoid the flesh.
what are we confident in that we should not be ?
intellect
physical strength
skill/ work ethic
personality
looks
industry
wealth.
Family
this year lets have no confidence in the flesh; lets use our gifts, talents and advantages to the Glory of God.
