Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome the Blessings in Christ. I'm Scott Roberts. Blessings in
Christ is also the Church of Christ preaching the gospel
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Of he that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved. The Lord's Church
is referred to as the Church of Christ Romans sixteen sixteen,
because Jesus built it, and he called it his own
when he said, upon this rock, I will build my church.
(00:23):
In Matthew sixteen eighteen. Jesus gave himself for the church
Ephisians five twenty five. He purchased the church with his
own blood, Acts twenty twenty eight. Jesus is the head
over all things to the Church, which is his body
Ephesians one twenty two. And there is one body, the
Church Ephisians four and verse four. The Church is Christ's body,
(00:46):
and the members of this body make up the Church.
Jesus is the savior of the body Ephisians five twenty three.
We read in Acts two and verse forty seven the
Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved,
and who are they save Matthew sixteen sixteen. Jesus said,
he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved. Our
(01:07):
lesson today is by Joey Fox from the Church of
Christ in Badyville, Kentucky, and it is the South Side Congregation.
He's bringing us a lesson on people think it strange,
and that is people that think they are religiously right,
but they are not doing what the Bible says. Once again,
we're getting an excellent lesson from Joey Fox on people
(01:31):
think it strange. We hope you enjoyed the lesson today.

So I love better the.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Man.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah, I'll show the.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yea. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
That's but this morning our lessons till me is people
(06:49):
think it's strange.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
You know, there's all sorts of.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
People out in the world that are religious and religiously wrong,
and then they you know, I've been studying in the Old.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Testament a lot, and I've told you that over the
past several.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Months and weeks, I've been reading in Deuteronomy. Now I've
gotten to that point, and it's Moses. The Lord is
speaking to Moses and telling them about all the things
that the children of Israel done from the time that
they come out of the Promised Land, out of Egypt,
(07:30):
going to the Promised Land.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And I think about that on the daily basis.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
How people think that they're right and they're truly wrong.
They don't know the Bible, they don't read the Bible.
And that how the children of Israel was a chosen people,
and still they transgressed God's laws.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
They lived and had one thing to a certain extent,
anything that they would have wont it, God would have
granted them to do.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But yet they refused to abide by His laws and
his ordinances. And if you go there and you read,
and you read the laying out of the ten Commandments
and all the things that motions brought back to.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Them, they still would not believe.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And that's people think us strange today that we believe
what the Bible actually says. And I looked at this
lesson in two ways. There is the original lesson that
someone had done, but then I added some things to it,
not adding anything different, but I looked at things in
(08:47):
the Bible, that we could add that people think it
strange that we do, or that we know. That is
just simply in the Bible, and in First Peter, chapter
four and verse one, and says, for thus, then, as
Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, on ourselves
(09:08):
likewise with the same mind.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
For he that hath suffered in the flesh has ceased
from sin, it that he.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
No longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lust of men, but to the
will of God. For the time past of our life
may suffice us to have wrought the will of the
gentiles when we walk in and less seriousness, lust, excessive wine, revelings, banquetings,
(09:41):
and vomninable idolatries. Wherein they were in wherein they think
it strange that ye run not with them to the
same access of right, speaking evil of you, who shall
give an account to him that is ready to judge
(10:03):
the quick and the dead.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He's going to judge the quick and the dead. But
he says, they think it's strange that we run not
to the same access. You know, they've put all sorts
of people.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Out in the world that they lust after things, and
they have excess of wine, and they have revalloons and
backward ends, and.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
A Bible idolatries.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
They have everything, every kind of church that you can
think of, and they think that they're right.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
But he says, we don't go to that same excess.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They think it's strange that we don't, that we just
simply live by what the Bible says. In Titus chapter two,
verse eleven through fourteen, it says, for the grace of
God that brings salvation, hath appeared to all men, teaching us.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That denying ungod in us and more other Thus we.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Should soberly righteous thing godly in this present world, looking
for that blessed hope and the glorious fearing of the
Great God and their savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself
for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purifying himself. A peculiar people, zealous of good words.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Where to be a peculiar people?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That doesn't mean quired, No, that means where to be different,
where to stand out?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And you know, brother Johnson leads us in his.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Prayer that we may be able to teach others, but
by just by the way that we live our lives,
and we may be the only Bible that some people read.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
And then people have asked him, asked us in the past, well,
where do you go to church?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What do you believe in that brings about that opportunity
to impartner to them something that they may not already
have known. And we're supposed to be zealous of good works.
That means getting after it, going going for it. And
then he says in Normans chapter fifteen and verse four,
(12:16):
for whatsoever things were written afore time or written for
our learning, that we, through patients and comfort of the scriptures.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Might have hope. And you know, one of the guys
on the radio this morning that was his teaching, was
about you know, we talk about faith, hope, and.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Love, and the greatest of these is love or charity.
But he said, sometimes we forget about that little word
hope that we might have that hope. We have a
hope of a home in heaven.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
We didn't have that in the past before Christ, and
we're going to talk about that and our listen this morning.
We were without that kind of hope, having the hope
of a home and hereafter.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
And he says in John chapter twelve and verse forty
six through forty eight, it says, I am come a
light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should
not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my
words and believe not, I judge him not, for I
came not to judge the world, but.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
To save the world.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
He that rejecteth me and received not my words, hath
one that judged him the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last days. The
judgment is going to be done based on what the
book says I, and that other book.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Is really going to be the one that does the judgment.
Is our name written there?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
If our name's not written there, then we haven't done
what God asked us to do. Then he hadn't record
our name in the book of life. And we're not
going to have partner lack in no matter, so to speak.
Then he says in second tenth in chapter two of
verse eleven through fifteen, it is a faithful saying.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
For if we be dead with him, we shall also
live with him. If we suffer, we shall also reign
with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
If we believe not, yet he abide it faithful, he
cannot deny himself all these things. Put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord, that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Study to show ourselves approved under God, a workman that
(14:41):
needeth not to be ashamed, right and divide in the
Word of truth.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
We have to be one that studies. We don't know
it all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And you know, I've learned in my studies that a
lot of times we read rite on through it and
don't get the meaning out.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Of things that we don't concerate on what it has
to say.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
There's a lot of good studying in the Old Testament
of what people did that transgather, transgressed God's laws, and
they were examples to us that if we transgress, we're
going to.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Be cut off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And we need to be doing what God would have
us to do. Listen to what he has to say,
and he says he can't deny himself. He come here
to help us to understand what it is to be
one of his. We need to be accurate studying the Gospel.
(15:38):
Then he says in Hebrews chapter ten and nine, and ten.
It says, then said he lo, I come to do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Thy will o God.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second,
by of which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Once fraud. He's been offered once fraud. All you gotta
do is pick up the book and read and do
what he says. There's going to be no more offerings, friends,
no more.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
He was offered once fraw, and he says he took
away the first and established the second.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
He established the New Testament.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
And what we need to do to be one of
his Galatians Chapter five and verse one through four, it says,
stand fast therefore in the liberty wherein Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke
of bondage. Behold, I call saying to you that if
(16:46):
you be circumcised, Christ.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Shall profit you nothing. For I testify young, every man
that is circumcised, that he is a debtor. To do
the whole law.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Christ has become of no offense to you, whosever of
you are justified.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
By the law you are following from grace. If we
had done everything that the old law said we still
would be without Christ. It wouldn't justify us. One. We
can't go back to Jerusalem.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A lot of the things that we were supposed to do,
they were supposed to do in Jerusalem, and we can.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
We can do that, Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We wouldn't be justified. We are following from grace, the
grace of Christ. We need to be doing what Christ
laid out in his time in doing the things that
he asked us to do. In James, chapter one of
verse twenty five through twenty seven, it says, but who'soever
looked at the into the perfect law of liberty and
(17:50):
continue it therein he being not a forgetful hear, but
a doer of the work.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
This man shall be blessed in his deeds.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And if any man among you seem to be religious
and brave, not his tongue, but to see with his
own heart, this man's religion is main, pure religion and
undefiable before God and the Father. Is this to visit
the Father of us and the widows and their.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Afflictions, and to keep himself self.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Unspotted from the world. That's a big deal. You talk
about big deals. Keeping ourselves unspotted from the world. The
hardest thing in the world to do, because we're to
be transformed, not conforming to what the world has to offer.
We are supposed to be transformed by the.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Renewing of our mind. How do we renew our minds?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Going back to second tenth chapter two and verse fifteen,
studying to show ourselves approved under God rightly dividing the
word of truth and he says, he says pure, perfect,
looking into the perfect Law of livery looking into it.
Also talks in the Gospel about it being a mirror.
(19:01):
It'll show us exactly what we look like. I don't
like to look in the mirror that often, to look
at this space, but I don't want to know what
my soul was like, what I'm supposed to look like
for God, that better be in good shape or I'm
in a world hurt.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I can look away in the world, in this world with.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The exception of the things that God tells me to
take care of, and that'll suffice to go out into
the world. But we need to be looking into the
perfect law of liberty. People think that's strange. In second tenthy,
chapter three and verse sixteen and seventeen, says all scriptures
given by the inspiration of God, and is probable for doctrine,
(19:46):
for reproved, for correction, for instruction and righteousness, that the
Man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished under all
good words. You know that keeps popping up over and
over again, don't it? Good works, good works? You hear
that in the Gospel quite often. It'll instruct us, It'll
(20:08):
correct us if you want to. You know, I never well,
let me go back. I probably steal today. Don't like
to be corrected. Most people don't. They think they're right.
And when it comes to religion, that's a big problem.
A lot of people don't want to be corrected. They
think that their religion is right. It's the one that
(20:31):
they've been in all their life, their families are in it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
They don't want to do nothing, no different.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
If mom and dad did it, Granny and grandpa did it,
that's the one I want to be in. But if
Grant and grandpa, mom and dad were wrong, or sister
or brother was wrong, you.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Know what they tell us.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Just like the rich man said, he wanted to tell
his five brethren, don't let him come to this awful place.
Don't let them be doing the things that they want
supposed to be done, telling them to be doing what
God would having to do looking into the perfect law
of liberty. A lot of people think that's strange. Well, then,
(21:10):
in the Divisions, Chapter two, in verses eleventh through twenty two,
it says, wherefore.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Remember.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That ye being in time past gentiles in the flesh,
who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision.
Now uncircumcision was the Gentiles, and the circumcision was the
Jews in.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
The flesh, made by hands.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the Covenant
of Promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were afar off,
are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He
(22:00):
is our Peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle Lotisi between us, having abolished in
the flesh empty even the law of commandments contained in ordances,
which is the Old Testament, to make in himself of
(22:21):
twain one new man of making peace, that who might
reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Having slain empty thereby and came.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And preached peace to you who were afar all, and
to them that were not, For through him we both.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Have accessed by one spirit unto the Father.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets Christ, Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom
all the.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Building fitly framed together.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Growth unto a holy temple in the Lord, and whom
ye also are building together for inhabitation.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Of God through His Spirit, through the spirit you know,
fitly joined together. He broke down the middle of a petition.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
We don't have to worry about the things that they
did in the Old Testament. Yes, we need to understand
what they did, but we don't have to do those things.
We have to do what the New Testament tells.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Us to do. But he says we were foreigners, we were.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Afar off, but now we've been made nigh by the
blood of Christ. People think that's strange.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
They sure do. They don't even know nothing about that,
that they're.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Afar off even now, because they won't read what the
gospel has to say. In John chapter ten and verse
sixteenth says, and other sheep I have which are not
of this fold, them also I must bread, and they
shall hear my boys, and they shall be one fold.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And one shepherd. We are one fold.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Today, friends, we're all one, all under one, and we
have one shepherd of the sheep. In First Corinthians, chapter twelve,
verse eighteen through twenty, it says, but now.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Have God set the members, every one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
In the body as it hath pleased him? And if
they were all one member, where we're the body? But
now are they many members yet? But one, bob, we're
all members. But we're all members of the same body.
(25:08):
But you think about the world outside. They think that
there are many bodies and still a lot of members.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
But there's just one body. He said, it's his body,
and we're members of his body.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
If you go back and you read the upper part
of that chapter, it says, if I only had an
eye where we're the here, where is it, I wouldn't
be able to hear. You think about somebody that's death.
They become stronger and what they see, but yet they're
still missing the hearing.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
The hearing part.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's when people think that's strange that we're a member
of one Bob. We're the members of one Bob. In Ephesians,
chapter four and verse one through three, it says, I, therefore,
the prisoner of the Lord beseech you that you walk
worthy of the vocation, wherein your call with all loneliness
(26:11):
and meetness, with long suffering, for bearing one another in love,
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit at the
bond of peace. We need to be united. He wants
us to be united, But he wants us to be
united upon the Gospel, upon his word, not united upon
(26:31):
what I think about it and what you think about
it or somethingbody else's version of it.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
No, we're simply supposed to be unianited upon His work.
And you know they were talking about that back there
this morning, about being lonely and me. It's not a
shame to Christ.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's not a shame to have emotion about this book,
or about our fellow members, or.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Or those that we've lost in this life.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
But the biggest sadness is those that have gone on
that haven't prepared themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
For the afterlaw. You know, that's a sad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
But yet we're still here. We need to keep prepared,
keep looking for that way that God would have us,
because just like I told you, the rich man said
he didn't want his five bresidom to come there, and anybody.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's on that side wouldn't want us to come there.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They want us to be in peace and joy and
happiness forever moment, and we should want that for ourselves.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
And Acts chapter twenty six and verse nine says, I
rarely thought myself that I ought to.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of nature.
You know, Paul speaking here in the twenty six chapter,
he was a betrayer of the gospel. He was of
the strictest sticks, to the strictest sect of phari.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
See that's easy for some people to say, but anyway,
he was of that sect, and he done everything in
his power.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He thought that he was right, that he needed to
do these things to bind Christians and put them in prison,
and all the things that were the Jews wanting him
to do. But we'll read on here and ask the
twenty second chapter and verse sixteen it says, and now,
(28:35):
why Terry is that a rising me baptized.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Washing away thy sins, calling all the name of the Lord.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That's what I'm getting that in these scriptures here is
he did things contrary to the Lord, and he was blinded.
The Lord spake to him in the way, and he
was blinded, and he was told to go and wait, and.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
He'd be told what to do. And ann and I
came to him and said.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why, Terry is that horizon be baptized? Was seeing the
way that I send, calling on the name of the Lord.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
And what did he do?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
He did that?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
He went and was baptized, and he went on and
done the work of the Lord. That's what we needed
to do. A lot of people think that being.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Baptized all ain't can wait for we get two or
three together and will baptize him after a while sometime,
or you know yet, k Histordy, we was watching a
movie and the filler was in the creek of baptizing,
and you.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Know how he was a donner.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He went over to gretson water by his hand and
slapped it up on him like that, and that was
the baptizer. You know, baptism is a burial. Friends, he
ain't no just slapping a little bit of water over
your head or sprinkling the middle out of a jug.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
No, it's a real bett.
Welcome the Blessings in Christ. I'm Scott Roberts. Blessings in
Christ is also the Church of Christ preaching the gospel
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Of he that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved. The Lord's Church
is referred to as the Church of Christ Romans sixteen sixteen,
because Jesus built it, and he called it his own
when he said, upon this rock, I will build my church.
(00:23):
In Matthew sixteen eighteen. Jesus gave himself for the church
Ephisians five twenty five. He purchased the church with his
own blood, Acts twenty twenty eight. Jesus is the head
over all things to the Church, which is his body
Ephesians one twenty two. And there is one body, the
Church Ephisians four and verse four. The Church is Christ's body,
(00:46):
and the members of this body make up the Church.
Jesus is the savior of the body Ephisians five twenty three.
We read in Acts two and verse forty seven the
Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved,
and who are they save Matthew sixteen sixteen. Jesus said,
he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved. Our
(01:07):
lesson today is by Joey Fox from the Church of
Christ in Badyville, Kentucky, and it is the South Side Congregation.
He's bringing us a lesson on people think it strange,
and that is people that think they are religiously right,
but they are not doing what the Bible says. Once again,
we're getting an excellent lesson from Joey Fox on people
(01:31):
think it strange. We hope you enjoyed the lesson today.

People out in the world that are religious and religiously wrong,
and then they you know, I've been studying in the Old.

Testament a lot, and I've told you that over the
past several.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Months and weeks, I've been reading in Deuteronomy. Now I've
gotten to that point, and it's Moses. The Lord is
speaking to Moses and telling them about all the things
that the children of Israel done from the time that
they come out of the Promised Land, out of Egypt,
(07:30):
going to the Promised Land.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And I think about that on the daily basis.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
How people think that they're right and they're truly wrong.
They don't know the Bible, they don't read the Bible.
And that how the children of Israel was a chosen people,
and still they transgressed God's laws.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
They lived and had one thing to a certain extent,
anything that they would have wont it, God would have
granted them to do.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
But yet they refused to abide by His laws and
his ordinances. And if you go there and you read,
and you read the laying out of the ten Commandments
and all the things that motions brought back to.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Them, they still would not believe.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And that's people think us strange today that we believe
what the Bible actually says. And I looked at this
lesson in two ways. There is the original lesson that
someone had done, but then I added some things to it,
not adding anything different, but I looked at things in
(08:47):
the Bible, that we could add that people think it
strange that we do, or that we know. That is
just simply in the Bible, and in First Peter, chapter
four and verse one, and says, for thus, then, as
Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, on ourselves
(09:08):
likewise with the same mind.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
For he that hath suffered in the flesh has ceased
from sin, it that he.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
No longer should live the rest of his time in
the flesh to the lust of men, but to the
will of God. For the time past of our life
may suffice us to have wrought the will of the
gentiles when we walk in and less seriousness, lust, excessive wine, revelings, banquetings,
(09:41):
and vomninable idolatries. Wherein they were in wherein they think
it strange that ye run not with them to the
same access of right, speaking evil of you, who shall
give an account to him that is ready to judge
(10:03):
the quick and the dead.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
He's going to judge the quick and the dead. But
he says, they think it's strange that we run not
to the same access. You know, they've put all sorts
of people.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Out in the world that they lust after things, and
they have excess of wine, and they have revalloons and
backward ends, and.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
A Bible idolatries.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
They have everything, every kind of church that you can
think of, and they think that they're right.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
But he says, we don't go to that same excess.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
They think it's strange that we don't, that we just
simply live by what the Bible says. In Titus chapter two,
verse eleven through fourteen, it says, for the grace of
God that brings salvation, hath appeared to all men, teaching us.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
That denying ungod in us and more other Thus we.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Should soberly righteous thing godly in this present world, looking
for that blessed hope and the glorious fearing of the
Great God and their savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself
for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purifying himself. A peculiar people, zealous of good words.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Where to be a peculiar people?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
That doesn't mean quired, No, that means where to be different,
where to stand out?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And you know, brother Johnson leads us in his.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Prayer that we may be able to teach others, but
by just by the way that we live our lives,
and we may be the only Bible that some people read.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
And then people have asked him, asked us in the past, well,
where do you go to church?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
What do you believe in that brings about that opportunity
to impartner to them something that they may not already
have known. And we're supposed to be zealous of good works.
That means getting after it, going going for it. And
then he says in Normans chapter fifteen and verse four,
(12:16):
for whatsoever things were written afore time or written for
our learning, that we, through patients and comfort of the scriptures.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Might have hope. And you know, one of the guys
on the radio this morning that was his teaching, was
about you know, we talk about faith, hope, and.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Love, and the greatest of these is love or charity.
But he said, sometimes we forget about that little word
hope that we might have that hope. We have a
hope of a home in heaven.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
We didn't have that in the past before Christ, and
we're going to talk about that and our listen this morning.
We were without that kind of hope, having the hope
of a home and hereafter.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
And he says in John chapter twelve and verse forty
six through forty eight, it says, I am come a
light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should
not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my
words and believe not, I judge him not, for I
came not to judge the world, but.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
To save the world.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
He that rejecteth me and received not my words, hath
one that judged him the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last days. The
judgment is going to be done based on what the
book says I, and that other book.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Is really going to be the one that does the judgment.
Is our name written there?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
If our name's not written there, then we haven't done
what God asked us to do. Then he hadn't record
our name in the book of life. And we're not
going to have partner lack in no matter, so to speak.
Then he says in second tenth in chapter two of
verse eleven through fifteen, it is a faithful saying.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
For if we be dead with him, we shall also
live with him. If we suffer, we shall also reign
with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
If we believe not, yet he abide it faithful, he
cannot deny himself all these things. Put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord, that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
Study to show ourselves approved under God, a workman that
(14:41):
needeth not to be ashamed, right and divide in the
Word of truth.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
We have to be one that studies. We don't know
it all.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
And you know, I've learned in my studies that a
lot of times we read rite on through it and
don't get the meaning out.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Of things that we don't concerate on what it has
to say.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
There's a lot of good studying in the Old Testament
of what people did that transgather, transgressed God's laws, and
they were examples to us that if we transgress, we're
going to.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Be cut off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And we need to be doing what God would have
us to do. Listen to what he has to say,
and he says he can't deny himself. He come here
to help us to understand what it is to be
one of his. We need to be accurate studying the Gospel.
(15:38):
Then he says in Hebrews chapter ten and nine, and ten.
It says, then said he lo, I come to do.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Thy will o God.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second,
by of which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Once fraud. He's been offered once fraud. All you gotta
do is pick up the book and read and do
what he says. There's going to be no more offerings, friends,
no more.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
He was offered once fraw, and he says he took
away the first and established the second.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
He established the New Testament.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
And what we need to do to be one of
his Galatians Chapter five and verse one through four, it says,
stand fast therefore in the liberty wherein Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke
of bondage. Behold, I call saying to you that if
(16:46):
you be circumcised, Christ.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Shall profit you nothing. For I testify young, every man
that is circumcised, that he is a debtor. To do
the whole law.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Christ has become of no offense to you, whosever of
you are justified.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
By the law you are following from grace. If we
had done everything that the old law said we still
would be without Christ. It wouldn't justify us. One. We
can't go back to Jerusalem.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A lot of the things that we were supposed to do,
they were supposed to do in Jerusalem, and we can.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
We can do that, Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We wouldn't be justified. We are following from grace, the
grace of Christ. We need to be doing what Christ
laid out in his time in doing the things that
he asked us to do. In James, chapter one of
verse twenty five through twenty seven, it says, but who'soever
looked at the into the perfect law of liberty and
(17:50):
continue it therein he being not a forgetful hear, but
a doer of the work.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
This man shall be blessed in his deeds.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And if any man among you seem to be religious
and brave, not his tongue, but to see with his
own heart, this man's religion is main, pure religion and
undefiable before God and the Father. Is this to visit
the Father of us and the widows and their.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Afflictions, and to keep himself self.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Unspotted from the world. That's a big deal. You talk
about big deals. Keeping ourselves unspotted from the world. The
hardest thing in the world to do, because we're to
be transformed, not conforming to what the world has to offer.
We are supposed to be transformed by the.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Renewing of our mind. How do we renew our minds?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Going back to second tenth chapter two and verse fifteen,
studying to show ourselves approved under God rightly dividing the
word of truth and he says, he says pure, perfect,
looking into the perfect Law of livery looking into it.
Also talks in the Gospel about it being a mirror.
(19:01):
It'll show us exactly what we look like. I don't
like to look in the mirror that often, to look
at this space, but I don't want to know what
my soul was like, what I'm supposed to look like
for God, that better be in good shape or I'm
in a world hurt.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
I can look away in the world, in this world with.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
The exception of the things that God tells me to
take care of, and that'll suffice to go out into
the world. But we need to be looking into the
perfect law of liberty. People think that's strange. In second tenthy,
chapter three and verse sixteen and seventeen, says all scriptures
given by the inspiration of God, and is probable for doctrine,
(19:46):
for reproved, for correction, for instruction and righteousness, that the
Man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished under all
good words. You know that keeps popping up over and
over again, don't it? Good works, good works? You hear
that in the Gospel quite often. It'll instruct us, It'll
(20:08):
correct us if you want to. You know, I never well,
let me go back. I probably steal today. Don't like
to be corrected. Most people don't. They think they're right.
And when it comes to religion, that's a big problem.
A lot of people don't want to be corrected. They
think that their religion is right. It's the one that
(20:31):
they've been in all their life, their families are in it.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
They don't want to do nothing, no different.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
If mom and dad did it, Granny and grandpa did it,
that's the one I want to be in. But if
Grant and grandpa, mom and dad were wrong, or sister
or brother was wrong, you.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Know what they tell us.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Just like the rich man said, he wanted to tell
his five brethren, don't let him come to this awful place.
Don't let them be doing the things that they want
supposed to be done, telling them to be doing what
God would having to do looking into the perfect law
of liberty. A lot of people think that's strange. Well, then,
(21:10):
in the Divisions, Chapter two, in verses eleventh through twenty two,
it says, wherefore.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Remember.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That ye being in time past gentiles in the flesh,
who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision.
Now uncircumcision was the Gentiles, and the circumcision was the
Jews in.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
The flesh, made by hands.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the Covenant
of Promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were afar off,
are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For He
(22:00):
is our Peace, who hath made both one, and hath
broken down the middle Lotisi between us, having abolished in
the flesh empty even the law of commandments contained in ordances,
which is the Old Testament, to make in himself of
(22:21):
twain one new man of making peace, that who might
reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Having slain empty thereby and came.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And preached peace to you who were afar all, and
to them that were not, For through him we both.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Have accessed by one spirit unto the Father.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets Christ, Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom
all the.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Building fitly framed together.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Growth unto a holy temple in the Lord, and whom
ye also are building together for inhabitation.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Of God through His Spirit, through the spirit you know,
fitly joined together. He broke down the middle of a petition.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
We don't have to worry about the things that they
did in the Old Testament. Yes, we need to understand
what they did, but we don't have to do those things.
We have to do what the New Testament tells.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Us to do. But he says we were foreigners, we were.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Afar off, but now we've been made nigh by the
blood of Christ. People think that's strange.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
They sure do. They don't even know nothing about that,
that they're.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Afar off even now, because they won't read what the
gospel has to say. In John chapter ten and verse
sixteenth says, and other sheep I have which are not
of this fold, them also I must bread, and they
shall hear my boys, and they shall be one fold.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
And one shepherd. We are one fold.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Today, friends, we're all one, all under one, and we
have one shepherd of the sheep. In First Corinthians, chapter twelve,
verse eighteen through twenty, it says, but now.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Have God set the members, every one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
In the body as it hath pleased him? And if
they were all one member, where we're the body? But
now are they many members yet? But one, bob, we're
all members. But we're all members of the same body.
(25:08):
But you think about the world outside. They think that
there are many bodies and still a lot of members.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
But there's just one body. He said, it's his body,
and we're members of his body.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
If you go back and you read the upper part
of that chapter, it says, if I only had an
eye where we're the here, where is it, I wouldn't
be able to hear. You think about somebody that's death.
They become stronger and what they see, but yet they're
still missing the hearing.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
The hearing part.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It's when people think that's strange that we're a member
of one Bob. We're the members of one Bob. In Ephesians,
chapter four and verse one through three, it says, I, therefore,
the prisoner of the Lord beseech you that you walk
worthy of the vocation, wherein your call with all loneliness
(26:11):
and meetness, with long suffering, for bearing one another in love,
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit at the
bond of peace. We need to be united. He wants
us to be united, But he wants us to be
united upon the Gospel, upon his word, not united upon
(26:31):
what I think about it and what you think about
it or somethingbody else's version of it.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
No, we're simply supposed to be unianited upon His work.
And you know they were talking about that back there
this morning, about being lonely and me. It's not a
shame to Christ.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It's not a shame to have emotion about this book,
or about our fellow members, or.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Or those that we've lost in this life.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
But the biggest sadness is those that have gone on
that haven't prepared themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
For the afterlaw. You know, that's a sad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
But yet we're still here. We need to keep prepared,
keep looking for that way that God would have us,
because just like I told you, the rich man said
he didn't want his five bresidom to come there, and anybody.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's on that side wouldn't want us to come there.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They want us to be in peace and joy and
happiness forever moment, and we should want that for ourselves.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
And Acts chapter twenty six and verse nine says, I
rarely thought myself that I ought to.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of nature.
You know, Paul speaking here in the twenty six chapter,
he was a betrayer of the gospel. He was of
the strictest sticks, to the strictest sect of phari.
Speaker 5 (28:04):
See that's easy for some people to say, but anyway,
he was of that sect, and he done everything in
his power.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He thought that he was right, that he needed to
do these things to bind Christians and put them in prison,
and all the things that were the Jews wanting him
to do. But we'll read on here and ask the
twenty second chapter and verse sixteen it says, and now,
(28:35):
why Terry is that a rising me baptized.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Washing away thy sins, calling all the name of the Lord.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That's what I'm getting that in these scriptures here is
he did things contrary to the Lord, and he was blinded.
The Lord spake to him in the way, and he
was blinded, and he was told to go and wait, and.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
He'd be told what to do. And ann and I
came to him and said.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Why, Terry is that horizon be baptized? Was seeing the
way that I send, calling on the name of the Lord.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
And what did he do?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
He did that?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
He went and was baptized, and he went on and
done the work of the Lord. That's what we needed
to do. A lot of people think that being.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Baptized all ain't can wait for we get two or
three together and will baptize him after a while sometime,
or you know yet, k Histordy, we was watching a
movie and the filler was in the creek of baptizing,
and you.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Know how he was a donner.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He went over to gretson water by his hand and
slapped it up on him like that, and that was
the baptizer. You know, baptism is a burial. Friends, he
ain't no just slapping a little bit of water over
your head or sprinkling the middle out of a jug.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
No, it's a real bett.
