Do and eats turn now to the reading which will be from the Psalms Psalm chapter 31 and will be reading verses 11 to 13. Because of all my adversaries on have become a reproach especially to my neighbors and an object of dread to my acquaintances those who see me in the streets flee from me. I have been forgotten like one who is dead. I have become like a broken vessel. So I hear the whispering of many Tara on every side has a scheme together against me as life thoughts to take my life and this time don't touch breath of the spray. Story thank you for reading that. We have just had lured me into each other thing sure that you have been so gracious as to protect your word and to provide it to us in Romancing Lord. We thank you in to eat that the fuel the beginning of time you had a plan you had a plan of Grace for each one of us that we might be able to come before you and to be able to worship here as your children Lord. We on that truly remarkable. Thank you. That's in that planning that you prestige without wood from generation to generation the now we got us and we read these words and we are able to be blessed one of them as much as it was those who write the song when it was first written and Lord. We thank you for all that is so real but it is so poignant to our daily experience that it is not a mystical concept, but rather it Deals with all very practical realities nor do we know that so we live in a world that rejects. You know, what we praying for you that you might strengthen us that you might come for something that you might help us go through those difficulties Lord as a song that said those who are see I'm supposed to come across us across to the other we find that difficult in these are the times that they don't stand they want to cause us fire real difficulties and they attack us and Lord we pray that you might help us in those situations Lord. We know the reason they attack house is because we hold you dear Lord. We we praying they'd but the hearts in the eyes overrun believe this may indeed be opened but we know that they will be these trials and tribulations that faces that indeed faith in you has a cost. We know the. Coast is nowhere near the cost that it cost you to save us from our sins Lord help us to love those people want to reach those people with your word Lord. We know that those who hate us the most those who has the most are often those who find the gospel message most striking most difficult to counterfeit because I know that it highlights that position before you and they know they are far from you Lori frenzy that you might use us to help us to encourage them. So they might come to know you is that Lord and Savior Lord, we pray that you will be with any time Glory praying might put your healing hand upon them from the ravages all the carbon fiber so we can pray continuous Lord help us.

Amen.

Come now, so I'll call you in for the children's talk and questions and that you're finding bring food are the acts as been incredibly helpful for you to learn and understand more when used with wound. And they eat so I lost week we were looking at Pizza in the ass. And so we had a few questions are the first was where was pizza preaching while he was preaching litter and so what was wrong with him he met an ass. And so we noted that he was power lines going to be in Paradise for a long. Of time. And so what did Peter say to him? Will he said and asked Jesus Christ he was here and he helped him up to stand. How did the people react? Well, they turn to the Lord and deeds others Miracles as we have a company to preaching it wasn't the good news of the Bible. He was that was his main focus but these amazing aspects of healing and other signs and wonders. Let's of the Apostles did we're trying to please show unbelievers that these words were indeed truly from argon and many many. Turned to the Lord and was saying until we come now to the next section or thanks turn to knowing and so if you want to read for his actual words of scripture that she taking this from us verses 36 through 43 and we were just given for you off. What is said that? Well, as we say it's also an ass the paralyzed man had been healed in the name of Jesus news of the offense spread around the area. Answer this miracle as we mentioned that I was taking place in a town called little I was on the way from Jerusalem to the coast and on the day you can see roughly aware that is on the coast lives a kind of follower of Jesus code Tabitha. That was a Jewish name and a great night was Dorcas and said she was always doing good and helping the pole. I'm the type that lives in the seaport of dropper dropper is Knox area in Israel. That is cool today heifer. We find that many of these cities across the globe have very long history about the names have changed over the centuries and soul scripture is modern-day Jasper and that's what they are on the coast and it supports and it's a very busy place even today pretty I exceptionally busy. If you go to the Alameda and Sir Pizza Hut pizza was on sleep stain. Time to focus became sick and died. Her body was washed and laid in upstairs room and say that was going to call me. So why are preparing the body for burial and the opportunity people had to say that lost farewells and I was in the area two men rushed to him so that you still a reasonable distance to him. It was more than a few minutes at a time, but it went straight to him and knowing that's a pizza was in the area. So you men rushed to him and they said please come on the employer temp.

What is the difference different picture behind me some words in front of me? Next one pizza went with them but too drunk, I want to write he was taking upstairs to the room or the way that is a spin around him crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made for the pool while she was alive. Enzo Pizza sent them out of the room and then he don't down on his knees and he prayed and off the hate Friday to he turned towards her body and he said Tabitha.

I'm righteously Tabitha opened her eyes and set up pizza took her by the hand and helps her to her fate. I need code for the followers of Jesus to come into the room and show Tampa that to them this miracle became known in order of Jumper and many people believed in the lower Pizza stayed on in jumper living at the house of Simon who was a Tanner and they eat it's a truly remarkable what is actually expressed in scripture but we need to remember these are these are the things that I actually took place on these all the accounts are written down for us so we can know that even in a day that we live tonight where we often don't see some of these America was taking place quite as dramatically as they did then we know that said the Lord is able to do these things and when we pray to him when we all scream for help and support and when we all scream for healing that he is to go to pay the he is able to do all of these things but we need to realize is we don't look to the man. We don't know. Pizza Pizza, we don't look so if possible so I will just human beings. We look to the Lord Jesus Christ and the father and that is where healing comes from and we can have that confidence from leap. Try that God is a God who owns his own pizza pizza price and it woke up from that prayer and Conference that pizza games for communion with God that he knew that he could send to Tabitha and also tell her to get a job in zeed when we pray to God when we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior and we actually talked to God through prayer we can often will I be mine out here the very words we often very clear and I'll Minds what the Lord would have us to do. I'm sorry. We leave that with you to think about and to hope to encourage a in your consideration of the Christian faith.

Come now to time for prayer and that he will continue to bless her and we will annoy him for prayer to share with you for students each week before I remember shouldn't I press on so we have an email. I should have lost weight. If I wasn't aware of that was that says sharing some points of prayer to pray for me and I'll tell you about pray for those newly stones in University in the coming weeks and eat. It's very important that we actually do Stephanie and preparing and soul. Say as a family we know the challenges that actually and hoes and what preparations do we do?

Some universities are in a couple of days, but most of the time you know, it's official tub that I supposed to be in Eifel somewhere to live for a whole 10 months. I went hunting for 6 hours a day or so many conversations going on behind the scenes and it is a very real difficult and challenging only 4 minutes. We do pray for each one. And so we uphold you before the Lorton remember that many young people across the country have returned back to school and GCSE level to do continue to pray for each one. It is a very different experience for children. Hilton Garden back to school that they are not going back to school as any of you remember it or even as they remember it it is very very different. And so we hope and pray that they'll actually get used to those changes and that they will indeed be able to study and it will be kept healthy and that's so they will benefit from that time at school. We are very much whether that many schools across the country opened and closed at a later because they were infections at certain the school and so it isn't stable situation young people may be going to school for a couple of weeks and then find themselves not able to because someone in there yet or that are bubble and told him have to be off for 2 weeks and challenging time for young people. Not really knowing what the future holds but we don't know no position where we don't even have a fire when I did from Daddy today. So are we doing the eat so I pray for each one?

We apologize for last week and this week I proved to be more helpful and a blessing to eat as we sing this him.

So nice to come now to sing God's Praises here is love vast as the ocean as the flood when the Prince of Life our Ransom shed for us his Precious Blood. I was dating scene without Mouse going in the church. So we encourage each other hard as you would normally do.

A reading from Romans chapter 16 the Lost section of the Alexa to the church in volume and inclusion and then gives his final comments at the end. We come now see so that passage are there some interesting at 9 and it takes a lot of Francis one notch Li against the right, but we'll see how he gets home from chapter 16 and US1.

Mitsuwa remember the whole lotta it's been a long time that we've been looking at the Lesser always remind everybody. You aren't supposed to read the letter in one guard. That was the only day behind the lasa a huge amounts of information. We know the pool doesn't use words wisely. He doesn't he doesn't know any of the words. He used to he uses every word very stupid and because that is actually contained within this last supper. I'm about to lose focus of older. He has said in the last and what we throw salt over the last few weeks, but nothing has come to a conclusion in that lost 7 and now we have this law section of this letter his final words and encouragement as well as final. Are we should be living or lines. Even today as Christians? I'm so we can break this passage down into three key sanctions love and love protected and a vidiots in faith. Are they all the three main themes all this lost section? I know me come and look at this. We can see it all these names and it's very easy for those and to give real-time a toll to the church. This was a group of people of real people who had dated a long night and Thursday in Bolton or layers of work and they also faced a great deal of opposition from the nation. They were in they weren't able to freely speak of the Lord Jesus Christ without the persecution and it was very challenging, but they were real people like you and me they had real names and of course, unfortunately.

Latin names or that great Knights and Samurai and so we have it an aspect of losing that they all just the same as us but pull stumps with an example of love being said, we're not sure whether he traveled with this letter or whether she was already that and suppose that's around shortly off with or in date. The last time I have arrived shortly before she arrives. I think it's more likely to be one of the first two items. Are we find such as he responds to Phoebe eyes his sister. There's a lot of attacks made upon pool because of his links with regard to the position of women in the church. Just let people turn around and say what he actually says Kohl's women very high esteem and he holds Phoebe has the highest esteem refers to her as his sister each one of us each other as Brothers and Sisters in Christ indeed just a very to your life and you have children of God and as such we are all Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and we should treat each other in that context. We are united. We are a family we are all the same laws as one another I didn't see Phoebe is upheld on that level. Ford also points out and says that she has a 7in Sinclair sankarea is actually nearby me to Corinth but it is nearby so you don't shut in car pool lights of rights to in 1 Corinthians in 2 Corinthians church and servants. Isn't that the same one that is translated in other sections of the New Testament as a $0.01 that is being translated 7th. Instead of Deacon. It is literally the same word and I thought he confirms that Phoebe is a deacon of the church at Sinclair. She has a physician but she doesn't have the authority of being able to preach I pulled his right click on that. other passages and he says welcome welcome in the Lord and in a way of the science, you are Christians receiving her because I had effectively but she's being sent to you for whatever reason we don't quite sure. We don't know whether she was that for trade. She was indeed a very significant individual back in those days and she might have been there for trade. She might have been sent to the church to support them. We know it's very clear as to the real reason Bronxville to receive her as one of the Brethren pole is confirming. She is one of them she is a Believer and then you can imagine if you're under persecution as someone walks in through the door of the church. You're going to be a little bit concerned as to whether that person is trying to fight and you're worried about what What is taking place and they might be an accidental aspects of being a little bit off without person quite sure where they're coming from but pool is welcome her. She is one of you she is a sister in Christ and welcome her and love her in a way. That is worthy of being a Christian. He also tells him to help her and whatever. She may need indeed. She wants somebody who helps people in the church at Suncrest and an amazing way. She helped them both in physical aspects of looking after them. But she was also financially attention of quite a few. She supported people in an amazing way very sacrificially other the Lord has given to her and I live and she use that for the work of the church and it was a great blessing to Old in the chat and you can imagine it would have been quite Society. I see her de Ponce a four. Of time and so be looking forward to hopefully her returning one day Butthead the receiving her know all the things that she's done. She's just an average person walking in now. I have a funny feeling in the way of pool right thing with it. She was somebody just go on and did it. She was somebody who soar problem. I'm just stuck in and actually dealt with it. She didn't necessarily off for the mission. But she saw Randy Metz. Snead and indeed are there is an aspect who I pulled a sign if she needs something. Follow free with her on that Chris is the Lord. Actually because she's traveled a long distance because she's entered a new sexy things within the local area needs of a brown spot. And so therefore equally leaving to meet those needs making sure that she has someone to live making sure that she knows where to buy things from where or how trade is normally done and drive herself. The reason why she was in was because of her business that she was there for that reason, but you're still a foreigner in a foreign land on chick and is very helpful to have brothers and sisters in Christ in that new area to a C help you and to encourage you and to help me settle in as quickly as possible. And so she is commended my pool to the church and rhyme and eat them.

For one another to somebody who has come in from outside and see I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ was demonstrated by the works. And so she was a person of quality and spanked as you might refer to and she was committed to the financial support of Christians and the apostles including pool. And so she was admitted with friends for a noteworthy. As far as of those sort of things are concerned about pool was Keen to make sure the chit chat room received her accept it and looked off to her more than wanting what she had to offer them when we have new people coming into the church. We need to remind we all that so then and so we ought to share with them what the Lord has done for us. We aren't that we looking for them to serve us all time to do one day in some Churches. I want less effective on that is Price we got you through this last time we will touch very likely on this list of names. We fall into Excel Priscilla and Aquila a quiet. So famously mentioned in Scripture that a husband and wife actually banished to a current Claudius, but now to Rome they choose and it's been converted to of the Lord through the work they were tentmakers my trade and they now live in Rome and then ask trans. I think you want to read a little bit more about them are the other names mentioned for us. We see that is demonstrating to this truck, but he knows my name he knows him and he sends greetings to them. He's telling me he's telling them to greet one another. Greet one another in the Lord and we are told about said that someone the first name was the first, but during the ministry in Greece is referred to as Asia because Grace was referred back. Then as Asia area and we see the Lord mentions Campos. We used to see him pull mentions. Ladies who are on their own as well as men and he treats them equally he doesn't go prioritize gives us this very interesting list or very so normal people but active in the church and noteworthy to pull each individual was actually a worthy of mention by him. But of course, we know what it's like shall return remember all the people who haven't even been to the church at Ryan and he's remembering any noise from what people are saying to him. These are the people that she mentions my name and say it when he knows I'm personally he makes mention of others. He might know him personally, but he knows that they are loved by the Lord and he says that with us and we read for the whole list and we see that even Rufus is mentioned and his mother and actually not really but actually he only wants her and says she was a mother to me as well. She was highly important to him, but he didn't whatever reason I put her name in that but there are others he didn't mention by 9, but he mentions them by a grouping sub by the brothers that are with them all the saints of people in that houses. Did not list those within the families of very well-to-do individuals on that. We think of a star playlist Willis and his servants often and others may be potentially family members were actually believe is in this church is corned walkable. And then with a look at narcissus narcissus wasn't actually the nicest of individuals according to Raymond information by his family are those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ Real by challenging backgrounds of the household might not have been very keen on that following the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. People came from very different situations, very different backgrounds. Those who were very well-off person who is very poor, but if it was 7 so I ran house There was a whole mix for the Brothers and Sisters in Christ pose who are actually being in prison because of that face. It was those from Greece people from all over the place, but they were old Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and they were able to demonstrate to One Another Love for one another and ask love for one another which was a key theme wasn't a few sections. Army come now to verse 17 I'm pulled talks about protecting that love how do we protect that love for one another as yourself from false teaching to you Brothers the word brothers that does not refer to man its wants used to be used in this country in the olden days of Brethren which includes everybody men and women equally is actually the original word is family respects. I'll be good translate to in that way. I feel to you.

To watch out for those who cause divisions in Ze that many situations are we think of Watson and pull I wrote specifically to the church and those who were divided / what was in scripture because of conscience, they didn't have a specific teaching on those aspects of that time. And so they were making decisions by some conscience by Wiz divisions amongst all the churches that will put a for different reasons you think of the church at Corinth is well as others in glaciers and insightful and there were difficulties in the early church. It wasn't that some people seem to create the early church was a very difficult price to rent a yes that you had great blessings for being able to have the apostles with them to have that teaching from the apostles to have that demonstrates its walls Find the Wonders that were performed by God around them is made out. They were those who wanted to disrupt cause difficulty amongst the Believers to be completely against things that took nice but the best way to destroy the trench is to be most powerful is too much by twisting or what cuz I'm actually being taught and to create obstacles to create a different understanding of what was being taught to them. And they are the ones who are causing division in the play tonight after the death of the Lost Apostles. We saw no sign for Rounds Christian history all the signs of the Apostles being performed anywhere as gifts of the holy spirit as a separate out the Holy Spirit from the Trinity they take from the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit the role of the holy spirit in scripture is to be pointing us to wash face at the mall in your life the less you concentrate on anything like the Holy Spirit the more you're actually concentrating on Jesus himself. All the work of the holy spirit will you to be thinking about Jesus constantly? And what he's done for you and what you should be doing for him and Jesus always his work points to the father of the Trinity their own individual in the same way and what was being faced in the early church. There was teaching exactly the same thing as all teaching today. I know we're cool Z Division. And what is the stuff right out the Holy Spirit by the holy spirit will do that on a range of gifts that we have made up fundamentally in scripture we have this but we want you to realize that there is something you're missing out. Do you see what I doing is exactly the same thing has happened in the Garden of Eden. Original sin is the same as every sinner has ever taken paises since Satan himself. Turn brown really sign. Today maybe seeing as what we're saying is it called really dance? And what do we find? The Serpent's Twisted? The word of God is the reason that he told you no fee for not raised to he knows you'll be like him. Find peace of withholding something from you for all the blessing that you should be having from the Lord in your life. What kind of fill that void sets? You didn't know you had. And what else does he do?

He turned around and he encourages us to disobey God. Disobedience to God answer the same problem in the churches that is currently back in those days is caring today that same message. You don't realize you have a problem. You haven't got the holy spirit in your life. He hasn't having these wonderful blessings. You didn't know you had that problem. We can fill that with this amazing experience that will come from being baptized and purity of the Holy Spirit Jonathan Edwards who was interesting individual people say he was a great orator to the Outreach in America with a book run from this device and with a torch or a light to read the worst order tri-axle in the back of the book the wonderful experience.

But his preaching was sound and God blessed his ministry and I'm pacing way huge numbers of people with honey. So don't put the thing is is it's no off during auftritt. You see one thing you find out about the Revival's. Makes a decision at the point in time to make his word known to the nation. And we as Christians don't know it's coming and we as Christians are the first people to get the shock of my life. With those who call themselves Christian. I need something down and shows them where they stand before him and they are brought to their knees because of the glory of God and the real say all of this information and then God works in the nation around them. If you long after that experience, trust me, it's not easy want to go for a florist because the end result is God is glorified and people time and Brake Clinic. Faison can reproduce mystical aspects that you long after. They're in the land of Egypt. He recreated those things like the serpent form of the runt of from Moses. Yes. I mean no. 712 Satan can reproduce experience descriptions of what is considered to be the Holy Spirit. Jonathan Edwards sparked specifically against this movement that has been around. And he also it is to invite sings teaches what it is to truly be a Christian. I want to sound very interesting when I was a young person. I actually not always be in a great message said I haven't spent a lot of time around I spent a break in my team has the church. So this one but I'd like to beans and early twenties. I went through quite a few different. I met lots of people and I met these people that I thought they are truly photos of crime and I went with them to their various churches are have been to most of the churches that are in existence the grouping from the King structured spawn a church has many many other so you may have not heard of I don't listen to that teaching and not. Time the Trump by pressing was promoted in the UK. I'm going to sound very interesting once. That they were deceiving people. The books that were written to encourage you to be involved in its really really dislike reading and all these books. I think people thought I was about to have a problem. Maybe I'll end up falling apart because I'm not known as a reader and I read these books these books but you made reference quotes about beginning of the book the reference cards, if you can find it to your Bible match they were going I would have the Giants and I was following that report of what the Bible said.

Thread spun. Louis Teen Spirit the movie I was missing out on so I may be open for the book. I'm through to the end of the book every single quotes that was in the book was not in the Bible what even in the Bible and I was using computers to actually scan the whole Bible the results for Christ. So I hope I know use the facilities are available to us in Scripture. I'm not the problem we face that people will come into the church that will cause a patient's they will create obstacles. They would change the doctrine that would teach us things that pull did not say they will teach us things. The pastor of the church that we have been for 20 years has not said there's a reason for that because the pasta Paul the Apostle on others for our churches on preaching what the Bible teaches if you have 20 cows, we do not go through the Bible trying to avoid what it says and we don't want you to think that we are making you feel better and that's how you know that it is the truth. We not looking to make you feel better. We are preaching wants the Bible teaches indeed. It is going to give you comfort is Donald who provides you blessing, but we're not here to massage your ego. I'm pulling points out and says for something to visuals who are causing. These divisions are not serving Christ, but they are starting to happen. They want their own experience to be seen to be something they want to massage that own sinful nature. And how did I do it full size and price I seen by smooth talk and flattery smooth talk and flattery and see when someone comes to you and says all these things I just wanna be gone very well in business. But when you turn the TV on and what is it that people do what they do is they turn around and they massage or either telling us about themselves, We should be having a hard decision in the church.

What a shame. They don't like massaging your ego and telling of a problem. You didn't know existed. What is the real problem the real problem is we all go to church full of Phoebe's? We should have a check for the CDs and work but we don't and the problem is is this massaging works on those who aren't working? Those are not really looking at the gospel message for not reading that Bible turn off range light.

You are not participating. There is no actual problem. So the pasta has not been preaching about for many is the problem is still the same. You need to be obtained the Lord Jesus Christ in your life. Jesus does not Overlook any of you look anyone in his letter to the church at run. I want to read fines in verse 19.

pool turns around and says I remind you as I did in in the previous possible answer your obedience to God is not into old. So I Rejoice over you but I want you to be wise to what is good. That is why we want you to be wise to walk is good want you to be bathing in what is good. We want you to be surrounded by what is good. We want to unfold and says she's innocent of what is evil. We don't want you to even be spending your time concentrating or these folks preachings and teachings from other people. But we must tell you that you must be guarding against them. I'm when you have individual to come into the church and a Christ these obstacles. Remember the individuals who are actually proclaiming what the Bible says it says what the Bible is saying they are not causing division. It is the people who turned on inside Bob is not really famous that the one schools in division. I want a refund process. Who says there's a point of which vary in the minds of the Lost future chances of this letter? I have told you to love one another to touch one another to teach one another what is in scripture, but that comes a point when they reject back teaching. Unfold says in verse 17 avoid them avoid them. It doesn't say you need to spend lots of time reconciling with them. The opportunity has gone you have demonstrates that love for you have no choice than you're trying to show them the word of God, but now comes the time that you must avoid them. What are the voiding mean when to John chapter 10?

Sorry, I've been to jump on Craigslist week maybe or what the section was for the word saw if anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting for whoever greets him takes pause in his Wicked works. That's wall avoiding memes have nothing to do with them. Don't welcome them into your house.

They are not all of the Lord Jesus Christ. We all three spending of time with believers. We all supposed to be spending time with unbelievers, but those who know the word of God and whoever ejected it and I've deceived others knowing full. Well that is section must be avoided and must no longer be part of the trash.

I'm what does pool ready say here? Because I saw some hay to Abby dance. We are cool and verse 19 through obedience. We all to the Lord Jesus Christ. We also obtain scripture.

What is poussey in the Lost verses he says that you are not alone. I know it's difficult. I know it's challenging. I know it can be hard when you're going through these situations as a chit you love one another genuinely and yet there are those who may be turning against the Lord those you're realizing who were being off the gold. They have just continued to nests in but they have infiltrated the show. It is difficult. It is heart-wrenching.

But you know about it. The God of Peace is with you. The God of Peace is with you. Is not pace he defines. Peace. He is want peace and genuinely is.

And what is the score of Pittsburgh? But he's going to come and he's going to crush Satan under your feet. He's going to deal with these situations permanently. Satan is going to be crushed. You are going to be upheld before the Lord. He is going to provide you his peace and comfort. And the victory has already been won by the Lord Jesus Christ.

But the fullness of that Victory will be seen.

And what is heos? I say the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. We worship the god of Grace. The game Grace is not won't go to his. It isn't as an equal sign between these things but don't provides Gracie is the god of Grace. Is our comforter.

He was the one that died for us that we could come before Jesus that we can pray that we can become before the father. The one who gives us salvation. We must have gone it don't throw away that salvation by listening to those who pull you away. but listen to those who uphold scripture

I'm pool coming to those verses in verses 21 through 223 and he reminds them of who is writing to them pool writing this letter. I forgive greetings from Timothy Timothy Timothy. Walz aposta Timothy to this pool refer to him as a son referred to him as an apprentice one that was coming out there in the old one. Recognize the gift of preaching in Timothy, but he was one that he was nurturing in the face. But now in this letter to the church at run Timothy is a full pasta. I'm pool refers to him as being equal to him. How is impossible pool is an apostle? And Timothy is Oster Paul? The Apostle had the signs of Wonders that went around with him. Timothy priest the wood.

Pool. So what Tennessee did as the most vital thing for the future of the Church of God? Preaching the word of God and he said the power of the preaching of that word of God is equal to all the songs that don't need go to snow with holding his hand from you. There is nothing I can preach to you that can prevent the Holy Spirit coming down and working in your life. It's already started kind with into your hearts and your lies and into this building and he really turn things around. I would not be in a place to stop it from happening. I cannot stop the work of God in your life. I cannot prevent God from providing you with the blessings he has for you.

I'm we see the others are the great names Lucius from mentioned in Acts 13 Jason from thessalonica mentioned in Acts 7 often remember in Acts 20. You have a choice. Yes, who's the stripe and date this clear confirmation that he votes it by hand by dictation from pool pool people suggest considered joint a little bit scruffy. And so whatever it was. Call handed that job over to his groin pull is what when he runs at himself he tends to want to be much so I can only imagine how she wasn't having it was able to really focus on what should be said because he had the help of a strong and don't let people because of what is written that then you have a gas which gas that one. Is it could either be the one in I asked a 220 from the baby or I could be from Acts chapter 19 from Macedonia or could be from the one that's mentioned in Corinth from 1 Corinthians chapter 1. But your eye cellulitis. He's actually from Corinth. He's actually a very well-to-do individual. He's actually I'm a treasure of the city. Can you imagine that she had somebody in the church as he was the treasurer of the city of Corinth? Can you imagine The Treasure of London being at the church? That's what their experience and he sends his greetings these Great Men of don't send their greetings with pole and it confirms what pool is saying to the church I'm weary Don and verses 25 and 26. Pool brings us to dance obedient in faith. And what is that a baby in sin faith? Well, he says these words now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. Ministers are ambassadors for the Lord Jesus Christ for the Heavenly Kingdom and The Gospel that is preached. Is that Embassy when pool talks about it being my gospel? He lays claim to unleash it as a believer. It's not his gospel in that context of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in zeed. The phraseology has hair is my gospel. I like and who is the author that gospel the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the one who has given us the good news, and this is Paul's account of the cookies.

And what is it according to according to the revelation of the mystery? That was Kept Secret for long ages this message we have Has been kept away from the nation's. In these these rights new outfits, but they didn't understand it. The Nations around is never heard of it apart from that the god of the Israelites was to be fed. I know this mystery has been made known. How is it being made none is being disclosed the prophetic running things through the scriptures said the prophetic writings of the Apostles the New Testament.

And it is true the Run since the scripture that it has Maine made known to All Nations. And why why is it now but this is, about because God has commanded that we tell oh and what is the aim of this? What is the name of this gospel? Yes, it is. Great news, you are saying you are able to come into the presence of God where you'll send prevented.

How is that possible? What is the answer for what is the purpose of the message? It is to bring a bounce The Obedience of faith is to bring about The Obedience of Faith. You're cold to The Obedience of God through your face. It is not an abstract concept. It requires us to understand what is written in scripture and it requires us to a ballet one scripture has written. I'm when we come along. So I pay you for it. We say this is what the scripture lies down. It is not asking you to abide. It is God's word that we are asking you to buy. And if you refuse to abide by that word and we we love you Danny and we want you to come alongside the Lord Jesus Christ, and we will try multiple times to help you to understand to nut to you in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and in through the word of God. But if you continue to reject that would pool towns us. avoid them

We never have a darling who is not towards the only ones God only one true God the only God knows all things the only God who created all things the one who defines what wisdom actually is. That shows up man's Wisdom to be nothing. The one wise God be glory forever. The glory of God is the purpose of obedience. We are to a guy going to glorify him. So you praising people want to come to church on a Sunday to sing praises, you know the best form of Praise that you could ever give to God. Your beatings to him on his way, but that's the praise God wants from you. Yes, he loves to sit in the singing of Believers, but he wants your B. Did your mom's your obedience?

And you ought to do it to glorify him. And how do we fulfill this is really important. What is it through? So many of people turning onto Austin sign for the holy spirit in the Bible. The words here all through Jesus Christ through Jesus the Messiah if the holy spirit is doing his job as described in scripture. You will only see the Lord Jesus Christ. You will not have your attention on the Holy Spirit. You will look to Jesus and it is through him. It is through his help. You'll be able to be obedient to the father. And we need to turn to Jesus do not send the Holy Spirit to Jesus. That is what pool is saying. Hope I understand the words of God turned to him. About Him in all things
