Sermon Intro
Early church was not perfect
it was all new
formulating, calculating, implementing was challenging.
disciples jockeying for position and
establishing The Church in Persecuting times!
I AM SURE THEY WERE ASKING THEMSELVES,
“HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD NOW SINCE JESUS’ RESURRECTION?”
Key Points
In this series “True Love,” we will discover by the Spirit, that the days we live in are not much different than that of the early church or ARE THEY?
The Early Church disciples were found to have:
Gave their all
Died for the cause of Christ, and
LIVED Loud & Large.
ARE WE DOING THAT TODAY?
Giving our ALL?
Dying for the Cause?
Living Loud & Large by Faith / NOT grumbling loud?
ONE THING
There is one thing that we know the early church was doing and it should motivate us to do the same.
Key Verse
True Religion is...
caring for orphans
caring for widows in their distress, and
caring for yourself (refusing to let the world corrupt you)
Investigate / Application
This TRUE LOVE series is about those three words…
PURE — GENUINE — RELIGION
Fatherless
= those bereft...
deprived or robbed of the possession or use of something
Fatherless = those robbed of a teacher, guide, guardian.
Such as an orphan.
Widow
= the idea of deficiency; a widow (as lacking a husband), literally or figuratively:—widow.
A metaphor.
a city stripped of its inhabitants and riches is represented under the figure of a widow
Corrupted by the World
= untainted character or without defect such as a perfect gem or diamond.
pert.
to being of untainted character
NOW LET BACKUP
Let’s pick up at the beginning and not start at the end.
The action of serving is just that serving.
So let’s examine:
WHO or WHY we serve,
the ATTITUDE we serve, and
WHAT gives meaning to the service we provide.
In this keynote scripture we find a word that is often overstepped… Religion.
Religion
= religious worship, esp.
external, that which consists of ceremonies religious discipline, religion.
But what is True/Pure — religion?
= clean, pure, clear physically but not only physical.
purified by fire in a way that represents a vine cleansed by pruning and so fitted to bear fruit in a levitical sense (in a sacrificial way)
clean, the use of which is not forbidden, imparts no uncleanness ethically
free from corrupt desire, from sin and guilt free from every admixture of what is false, sincere genuine blameless, innocent unstained with the guilt of anything
To the Jewish people Religion was keeping the Law.
Not just the 10 Commandments
Keeping the other laws of special washings, special sacrifices, special days.
Some 700+ laws.
When Jesus was asked about the Law
—he quoted two commandments... for in these two all of the law was fulfilled.
Matthew 22:37–40 (NLT)
Jesus replied, “ ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Make it personal
The action of serving is just that an outward action that can be seen as a work…Doing Something!
I don’t think that Jesus was talking about WORKS since he came to start a dispensation based on GRACE.
The Age of Grace that we continue to live in today.
SO, examine these points:
WHO or WHY we serve?
Why do you serve?
Is it out of duty?
Guilt?
Peer pressure?
Obligation?
Shame
Because you feel you owe God for saving you?
We need to ask the Holy Spirit to search us...
Matthew 22 says, “We must Love the Lord”
this gives us both the Who and Why.
It all starts with a relationship with Jesus.
Jesus taught us that you can not have two masters.
Matthew 6:24 (NLT)
“No one can serve two masters.
For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
Money is defined at Mammon:
A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed.
(μαμωνᾶς)
‘food, maintenance, provisions’ ‘wealth or property’
