✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about Your Conscience Is Not Your Best Guide 1 Corinthians 10 - Avoid Israel’s Mistakes 10 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our fathers were all under the cloud and they all passed through the sea; 2 and they all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and they all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was [a]Christ. 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased; for their dead bodies were spread out in the wilderness. 6 Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they indeed craved them. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.” 8 Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as some of them [b]did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9 Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them [c]did, and were killed by the snakes. 10 Nor grumble, as some of them [d]did, and were killed by the destroyer. 11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12 Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except something common to mankind; and God is faithful, [e]so He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise people; you then, judge what I say. 16 Is the cup of blessing which we bless not a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is the bread which we break not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf. 18 Look at [f]the people of Israel; are those who eat the sacrifices not partners in the altar? 19 What do I mean then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is [g]anything? 20 No, but I say that things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 23 All things are permitted, but not all things are of benefit. All things are permitted, but not all things [h]build people up. 24 No one is to seek his own advantage, but rather that of his [i]neighbor. 25 Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions, for the sake of conscience; 26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and [j]all it contains. 27 If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions, for the sake of conscience. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of that one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; 29 Now by “conscience” I do not mean your own, but the other person’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered about that for which I give thanks? 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God. 32 Do not offend Jews or Greeks, or the church of God; 33 just as I also please everyone in all things, not seeking my own benefit but the benefit of the many, so that they may be saved.
✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about Love Requires Sacrifice - 1 Corinthians 9:1 -27 - Paul’s Use of Freedom Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. My defense to those who examine me is this: Do we not have a right to eat and drink? Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working? Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not consume some of the milk of the flock? I am not just asserting these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well? For it is written in the Law of Moses: “You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He? Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops. If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you? If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ. Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share [h]from the altar? So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel. But I have used none of these things. And I have not written these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than that. No one shall make my boast an empty one! For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am under compulsion; for woe to me if I do not preach the gospel. For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a commission nonetheless. What, then, is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel. For though I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may gain more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law; to those who are without the Law, I became as one without the Law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might gain those who are without the Law. To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak; I have become all things to all people, so that I may by all means save some. I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it. Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air; but I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

Knowledge [a]puffs up, but love [b]edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him. 4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a [c]stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.

✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about Sexual Immorality Defiles The Body Of Christ -1 Corinthians: 5 Immorality Defiles the Church 5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife! And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you. 1 Corinthians 5:1-2 (NKJV) We don't want to get too involved in their drama. Churches FLEE when marriages in Crisis - Push In Let the pastor deal with someone else's sin. It ain't my problem. For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 (NASB) Sin In Your BODY - Sin Is Your Business (1 COR 5:5) deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Kingdom accountability must be applied in the Spirit. WHY TURN SEXUALLY IMMORAL OVER TO SATAN? Unrepentant sin damages the Body. Jesus will protect His Church - Romans 1:28-32 (NKJV) Reprobate Minds Sinner lives for flesh – Satan destroys sinners’ flesh (live by sword, die by sword) 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells Satan is god of this world. Choose Sin - Choose Satan - CHOOSE WISELY. Satan will destroy the flesh, but no control over man's spirit. The goal of Church removal is not retaliation, but rehabilitation: to convict the man of his sin to encourage repentance and restoration. Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. Galatians 6:1 (Amplified Bible) Paul then warns about a little leaven in 1 COR 5:6-8 - It's better to purge out than ruin whole lump and start over. The FLOOD removed all leaven (sin) and Started Over. NOTE: You must be a good steward of God's Church. Cannot co-exist with sin.
✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about Watering, Working and Warning - 1 Corinthians 3:4-16 1 Corinthians 3:5-8 (NKJV) Watering, Working, Warning 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. The Watering We struggle as a Body when immaturity mistakes the pastor's fame with the gospel's truth. They are NOT the same. The Working We struggle as a Body when we want believers to look like us instead of Jesus. Discipleship is not telling new believers what you think - Teach them to read and understand what the Bible reveals. The Warning We struggle as a Body when we serve half heartedly or give God our leftovers. Christians will not have salvation judges, but we will be assessed of our work for eternal rewards. We don't have an eternal perspective about kingdom rewards. HOW TO HANDLE STRUGGLES? Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve. Colossians 3:23-24 (Amplified Bible) You get what you give Are You Sowing Kingdom Seeds With Expectation Of Kingdom Fruit? For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:8 (NKJV) Effort is a heart condition. Once Body grows, the integrity of the foundation will either support it or fracture. Be a good steward of God's kingdom. Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor]. 1 Peter 4:10 (Amplified Bible)
✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about Milk, Meat and Maturity -1Corinthians 3:1-3
Sectarianism Is Carnal
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?
I was saved with Milk:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 (NKJV)
But I didn't understand the Meat:
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:17-18 (NKJV)
NOTE: Evangelists use gospel Milk so Non-Believers can easily digest the truth of Jesus Christ. - BUT Church must equip the Body of Believers to digest the same gospel message as Meat so they mature through discipleship and can / will go out and make disciples. I was made a Convert and not a Disciple My Denomination Focus on growth of congregation - NOT the person. Stunted spiritual maturity for years. Almost walked away because I knew there SHOULD be more to faith life, but ONLY heard same pulpit jokes motivational verses weekly. Disillusioned by HUNGER

STAR WARS NOTE: I’ve never seen the Star Wars movies, but I read that George Lucas had the idea for the prequels decades before they were made. Asked why he waited 16 years to make the blockbusters; he said the technology simply was not there. Similarly, the Holy Spirit was required to understand the deep mysteries of God.
NOTE: The Holy Spirit bridges the communications gap between God and us. The Spirit is the only way we may know the mind of God and thus His WISDOM and nature.
✅ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel - @Dr. Scott Silverii talks about The Foolishness of Human Wisdom: 1 Corinthians 1:18- 19 - Share Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2 (NKJV) You don't need college to gain God's knowledge. NOTE: Continue our walk through 1 Corinthians by looking at the Foolishness of Human Wisdom. ANCHOR SCRIPTURE 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (NASB) The Wisdom of God For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.” Where is the wise person? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. HOW DO WE STRUGGLE IN TODAY'S CULTURAL ELITISM? Intimidated by worldly elite and learned? Jesus called them - Pharisees. Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and Pharisees have seated themselves in Moses’ chair [of authority as teachers of the Law]; so practice and observe everything they tell you, but do not do as they do; for they preach [things], but do not practice them. The scribes and Pharisees tie up heavy loads [that are hard to bear] and place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not lift a finger [to make them lighter]. Matthew 23:1-4 (Amplified Bible) SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS NOT MEASURED BY INFORMATION, BUT BY APPLICATION - Do others make us feel Less Than when they espouse Christianeese? - Stop you from volunteering at church? "What if the three-year-old ask about Dispensationalism?" Be Real - Say I Don't Know But I Will Find Out! - Afraid to prophesy – Worried? Misplaced – Seek social direction from culture’s proud and arrogant SOMETIMES - even Spiritual Direction. Mind God's Mind to Mind Your Mind NOTE: Paul addresses THE FOOLISHNESS OF HUMAN WISDOM that comes from the arrogance of elitism and performance-based demands of self-reliance. Stephen Hawking - Brilliant theoretical physicist. Genius IQ over 160 - Died March 2018 "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail," he said. "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark." WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THE FOOLISHNESS OF HUMAN WISDOM? 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (NASB) (1 Corinthians 1:18) For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. NOTE: Paul teaches everything God foretold in OT was accomplished at the Cross: - The "Message of the Cross," in contrast to speech of human wisdom. - The Cross produces opposite reactions of people perishing (headed to hell) and those being saved (headed to glory). - Bible is consistent about separation – Genesis 1:4 – Light from dark / Matthew 3:12 – Wheat from chaff / Matthew 25:31-33 – Sheep from goats (1 Corinthians 1:19) For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.”

DIVISION - Denomination means Division. “The tendency to divide or cause to divide into sects or denominations - division into denominations.” - Talked about The Culture War – Ammo doesn’t matter as much as Outcome – DIVISION. - What causes church division? Denominationalism. - Center for the Study of Global Christianity shows more than 200 in U.S. and 45,000 globally. Paul doesn’t mince words when talking about saboteurs: Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such people are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. Romans 16:17-18 (NASB) Baptism in Spirit is a Baptism in Unity.
PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY
2 Tenant in their belief doctrine:
THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS OUR WAY OF BEING FAITHFUL TO GOD. BUT IT IS NOT THE ONLY WAY. Christianity is the truth for us. But it is not the only truth.
John 14:6 says different – Jesus - I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? Matthew 12:25-26 (NKJV)
Baptism in Spirit is a Baptism in Unity.
Paul’s 1st century letter to Corinth is as true then as now – Culture War to DIVIDE still rages! ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13 (NASB) Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete (united) in the same mind and in the same judgment. For I have been informed concerning you, my brothers and sisters, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
NOTE: Get to know the author. Getting to Know PAUL Saul was a Pharisee. Not Just Any - a Pharisee Among Pharisees - Acts 23:6 (NASB) Paul was a Terrorist – Waged holy war on early Christians. Acts 9:1–2 (NIV)
Stoning of Stephen – a good man filled with the Holy Spirit And Saul approved of his execution. Acts 8:1 (NIV)
NOTE – Most pastors and church leaders would’ve changed careers or cultures? PROOF - Biblical worldview – the filter through which you see the world: Senior pastors -41% Associate pastors – 28% Children’s and Youth Pastors – 12% (7 out of 8 pastors influencing our kids) Teaching Pastors - 13%. AND IF THAT’s NOT ENOUGH: - Also bitten by a poisonous snake after a shipwreck and beheaded as a martyr. - Missionary Journey over 10,000 miles – BY FOOT! – NY 2 LA 4 Times - Did Paul start out as a good man? No!! - Can God use everyone? Yes, if we repent, receive Jesus, and walk in righteousness. - God uses your mess for His message. - Legacy - Apostle, Missionary, Writer, Martyr –YOUR KINGDOM LEGACY?
YEAH BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD BACK THEN – Really? Visiting CORINTH: - Corinth still exist today. Located about 50 miles from Athens, Greece - Corinth started as a Greek city - destroyed by Rome - rebuilt by Julius Caesar in 44 BC - Luxurious 1st Century port city over 200,000 population. - “Isthmian games” held the years before and after the Olympic games. BIG TIME City - Pagan religion and Cults - “Corinthianize” term for fornication. - Plato termed “Corinthian girl” = prostitute. - 1000 prostitutes served as slaves in the temple of Aphrodite – the goddess of love, lust, and beauty. Globe is scattered with places that make Corinth look like Disney World – We can’t use that example anymore. You Get the Point The Seduction of Corruption Leads to Your Destruction. What Does Paul Say About UNITY & Division? Appeal to Unity (1 Corinthians 1:10)
NOTE: Less than a hundred years after Acts 2 Day of Pentecost we have CORINTH WHY? Culture Created Division
Unity in Christ Celebrates Our Diversity in Life Cultural Battle Lines: How does woke culture of Progressive Christianity ATTACK Scripture of Unity? There is more than one way to heaven? Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 (Complete Jewish Bible)
How does woke culture of Progressive Christianity COUNTER call to only follow Christ teachings?
I follow people who make me feel better about myself and not guilty about sin. (2 Timothy 4:2-4 (NASB) Culture Control Can Keep You From Christ

Kingdom of God over 80 times in NT Introduction, explaining and clarifying. MISUNDERSTANDING – Unmet Expectation –Marriage & Divorce - Disciples expected force overthrow of Rome – Create Independent nation - They’d be BIG BOSSES - Mark 10:35-38 (Amplified Bible) James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” And He replied to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit [with You], one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory [Your majesty and splendor in Your kingdom].” But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism [of suffering and death] with which I am baptized?” NOTE: No Clue What Asking for. NOTE: Thank God His answers are NO – Rescue from Ourselves
Learn to Recognize God’s kingdom even though it’s not what you think or feel: He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all the other seeds, but when it is fully grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and nest in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32 (NASB)
Seek God’s Mustard Seed and Faithfully Grow God’s Garden.
REALITY in Anchor Scripture: - John the Baptizer - recognizes God’s kingdom in times of innocence (in womb) and miss it in times of trouble (in prison)
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:41 (NASB) - John’s ministry - Announce Kingdom of God through Messiah coming. NOT homeless, healing, etc - Life didn’t work out like John thought - Has yours? - Are you faithful to your calling – Willing voice in a wilderness – Willing to die to self for Christ?
John’s Mega Ministry DIMINISHED He must become more important, while I become less important. John 3:30 (Complete Jewish Bible) NOTE: Did John RESENT Jesus in his life?
John’s expectation of who Jesus actually was didn’t match who he thought Jesus should be. When we DEFINE God’s Kingdom according to our WANTS, we miss out on God’s WILL.
John’s disciples questioned Jesus – They reflected John’s doubt not Christ’s hope. When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us (NAME DROP) to You, to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One (COULD HAVE STOPPED QUESTION HERE), or are we to look for another?’” Luke 7:20
NOTE: Only seeking God’s Kingdom through Jesus. NOTE: Derailed if eyes are not fixed on The Cross
? If God’s kingdom doesn’t fit my Truth or Narrative, can I ditch Him for someone else? NOTE: God’s kingdom citizenship is VOLUNTARY – God sent His son to die for sins so you may know eternal life, but you have a choice – REVELATION 3:20 NOTE: CHOSE WISELY
John said this as Jesus approached to be baptized: Matthew 3:11-13 (Amplified Bible) … He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). 12 His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom), but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”
NOTE: John thought Jesus had come to establish Kingdom through judgment, rewarding the faithful and punishing the wicked. NOTE: Didn’t realize Jesus came to teach, heal, and die on our behalf. NOTE: John was preaching his own message – Not that of Messiah
NOTE: In PRISON, John thought King Herod would be judged by unquenchable fire, and he would be rewarded a
Starting Block of Stewardship: - God created everything. - Everything belongs to God. - God allows us to exercise dominion over everything He created.
Glory to God is reflected by Priorities - Does God hold the Glory spot in your life? If you truly Worship God, then you make sacrifices. God get Firstfruits in Worship like ABEL or leftovers in obligation like CAIN?
Are you a good and faithful servant? The Bible says if you are not multiplying the kingdom then you are wicked and lazy.
JESUS CULTURE - sharing the good news, discipleship, equipping, accountability, and multiplication of the kingdom. Blueprint to grow
Jesus didn’t just die for our sins. Many people die for sin – theirs and others. Jesus rose to defeat sin and death.
Palm Sunday: The Presence Of Jesus Christ Demands A Response In Your Life How Will You Respond?
Five Stones Church Service Sermon (January 9, 2022) - Welcome to our Housewarming Celebration. -The miracle is in God’s provision for a location where His power and blessings will manifest in growing His kingdom. -The miracle is for everyone who put their faith to work over the short weeks to transform this space into church where the Body of Christ can gather to praise Him. - The miracle is in you who were stirred by the Holy Spirit to be here today. -The miracle is in coming together with other believers to celebrate Team Jesus. Coming together is the miracle and it doesn’t matter WHERE we meet. It’s just important THAT we meet. And because we have committed TO meet, God our Father has blessed us all with a place to connect. We are planting a connected community. Connection is vital. NOT good at is STAYING TOGETHER. Barna Research - 2000 that 45% practicing Christians. 2021, only 1 in 4 (25%) were walking in faith. The Body of Christ is not staying together, but where are we going? - Most scatter back into their secular world, - some bounce in and out of church and - many reject God altogether. While the Body of Believers continues to dwindle, Barna shows people identified as atheists have more than doubled in the same time frame. How do we solve the challenge of staying together as the Body of Christ? Answer – God’s Word Focus Scripture for today. It’s found in Acts 2:42-47. ACTS 2 (NIV) The Fellowship of the Believers 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. PROBLEM – STAYING TOGETHER Living life as the Body of Christ requires an intentional effort, but it’s not always easy. HOW DO I APPLY ACTS 2:42-47 IN MY LIFE THIS WEEK? 1. Read the Bible every day. 2. Pray with tangible expectation and unshakable faith in God’s will and work to be done. NO MORE WISHY WASHY PRAYERS 3. Connect with another believer – meal, gym, hobby, coffee shop 4. Practice charity and giving – Giving is connected to the condition of your heart – You can learn to be generous. 5. Share Jesus with someone this week. Pick out a Scripture verse and pray for an opportunity to share – The Holy Spirit will make it happen if you are willing. 6. Praise God in all things – Adopt an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE. 7. Commit to Stay In The Room – Get Connected – Invite one person to come with you next Sunday. God is going to grow the number harvested (salvations) we just have to be willing to work in the harvest fields. I love you and God bless you

37 They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38 He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”40 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.
Luke 24:37-43 (NIV)

NOTE: We don’t have to fight to prove resurrected Christ. He is the TRUTH and doesn’t need us to pull out a knife and cut off ears not willing to hear.
God Is Revelation: How God Speaks to You and How to Hear Him (01-23-2022) Five Stones Church Dallas, Texas https://www.fivestoneschurch.netDr. Scott Silverii If you are not hearing from God, ask yourself: 1. Do I really want to hear what God has to say? 2. Am I afraid of what He wants me to do? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:11 –12 Either: guided by divine revelation OR fooled by human speculation. WHO DO YOU LISTEN TO? social media – politicians - sports stars - celebrities Nothing but misery and death. God’s Revelation Teaches: 1) Who God is 2) Who we are. We don’t read the Bible – the Bible reads us HOW DOES GOD REVEAL HIMSELF? 1. General Revelation 2. Special Revelation. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified 1 Corinthians 2:2 HOW DOES GOD SPEAK TO YOU? - The Bible - Prophesy - Prayer - Through Jesus - Through the Holy Spirit But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26 THE BIBLE - Scripture is God speaking his truth to us in human words. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
BASICS OF REVELATION You cannot develop a relationship without communication that goes both ways. Not Hearing God 1. Unconfessed Sin Sin is the barrier. 2. Rebellion God isn’t going to speak to you again until you’ve obeyed the last thing He told you to do. IMAGINE 400 YEARS FROM MALICHI to GOSPELS 3. Busyness and Distraction Find a quiet, private place every day to pray and hear God. God isn’t obligated to chase us down. Revelation 3:20 (NIV) Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
How to Hear God 1. By His still, small voice inside our hearts Behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11–12 2. Through the Rhema “Word” of God Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
Rhema is Greek for word = “the living voice of God.” 3. By open and closed doors To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, “These things says He who is holy, He who is true, ‘He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens.’” Revelation 3:7 God is protective and uses circumstances to open or close doors of opportunity. NO is sometimes a Not Now. Discern the difference. 4. Through Other People

God Is Covenant How To Pursue Intentional Relationships With Meaningful Outcomes Like God Does Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
GOD IS COVENANT “GOD PURSUES INTENTIONAL RELATIONSHIP”
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. PSALM 25:14 Failed Commitment Efforts: Pinky Promise – Cute – tradition if promise is broken, aggrieved breaks the finger of the offender. Not So Cute Blood Brothers – right idea about cutting (Covenant) but only blood of Jesus makes us brothers. Swears and Promises – Our head and hearts make promises we cannot keep. We turn to inward self-reliance instead of focusing upward to God dependence. HEAD - But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:34-37 (NIV) HEART – “The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives? “I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds. Jeremiah 17:9-10 (Amplified Bible) SUCCESSFUL COMMITMENT EFFORT: Covenant What is Covenant? - Covenant shows the character of God (Trinity) – intentional and intimate - Tangible partnerships between God and People. Marriage - Binding promises to work together for common goal – Redeem humanity. - Signified by oaths, signs, and ceremonies. Police and Military take Oath – Accept Jesus – Public Profession of Faith – Why keep secret? - Different from Contract – relational versus professional. NOTE: WE MUST BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT CONNECTION. God never enters into the relationship casually or informally. SPIRITUAL REBAR NOTE: WHO ARE YOU IN COVENANT WITH? Intentional God Covenants We Should Enter Into: 1. Relationship with God 2. Relationship with Spouse 3. Relationship with Kids 4. Relationship with Believers – Discipleship – Paul & Timothy - Intentional What’s A Contract? Professional or Business relationship. - Usually 50 / 50 benefit - Exit clause - Benefit at expense of another - Expiration date - Performance based success metric - Failure is penalized - I seek to impose my will NOTE: Would you say most of your relationships are Covenant or Contractual? God’s 5 major covenants: Today’s Covenants - Marriage covenant – (ADAM & EVE) This includes your relationship with God as you become the body of Christ who will be reclaimed as the Bride of Christ. - Grace covenant (NOAH) – God extends you salvation through grace. You can’t earn it and don’t deserve it, but through covenant, you receive it as a free gift. - Multiplication covenant (ABRAM)– You are commissioned to multiply the kingdom. God also calls you to multiply in provisions – FIVE TALENTS (Matthew 25:14-30). - Deliverance covenant (MOSES) – God offers freedom from bondage of sin and the blessings of a Promised Land in heaven if you’ll covenant with Him. - Kingship covenant (DAVID) – You are a joint heir of Christ and He made you kings and priests (Revelation 1:5-6) if you’ll covenant to be washed of sins. - Redemption covenant (US) – Jesus died for you to covenant eternally with you –For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-1
Who Is God: Explaining The Trinity - Five Stones Church Sermon (January 16, 2022) We study the doctrine of the Trinity to know God on a deep, tangible level of relationship. What Is The Trinity? The one God who eternally exists as three distinct persons – Father, Son , Holy Spirit. Each are fully and equally God in eternal relations with each other. They each think, act, feel, speak, and relate because they are persons and not impersonal forces. NOTE – The Holy Spirit is not an IT!!! Trinity in Scripture: Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 God The Father Isaiah 64:8 – But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. God The Son Google “Who is Jesus?” 1.3 BILLION results (0.78 seconds) ONLY way to God – John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. God The Spirit WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT? About half a billion results (0.73 seconds) He is as much God as is the Father and the Son. Holy Spirit lives inside of you. You are God’s temple: 1 Corinthians 6:19 (Amplified Bible) – Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? Big Picture Purpose: 🔥 You have a body and a soul. 🔥Your body commits sin and your soul is condemned. 🔥When you die your body goes into the ground and your soul goes to hell. ✝️ When you accept Christ as your Savior, God in the Holy Spirit lives within you. ✝️ Now you have body, soul & Spirit. ✝️ When your body sins and you repent, the Spirit restores your soul. ✝️ When you die, your body goes into the ground, your soul goes to heaven and the Spirit who is God, returns to God. John 14:26 – But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. There is FREEDOM: 2 Corinthians 3:17 – “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Why is Theology important? To trust God we must know God. To know ourselves we must know God. To know God is to understand that God is TRINITY – The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Do you believe God is still creating? Church study -covid era – 15% permanently dissolved. - 40% on life support - 40% attendance at 30 to 50% pre-covid - 5% back at or above pre-covid levels. Why would we plant a church in 2022? Genesis 1:3 - And God said Genesis 1:6 - And God said Genesis 1:9 - And God said Genesis 1:11 - Then God said Genesis 1:14 - And God said Genesis 1:20 - And God said Genesis 1:24 - And God said Genesis 1:26 - And God said Genesis 1:29 - Then God said In 2015 – And God said In 2021 – And God said Today – And God Said Why? - God Said So! That’s creation in modern era! Creation didn’t stop at Genesis 1 and 2.
Go to beginning - Why is understanding creation important to you? Not for debating the age of earth – understanding: - Everything started with God, - Everything exists with God, - Everything will end with God, - Everything will renew with God
FAITH Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see. God was pleased with the people who lived a long time ago because they had faith like this. Faith helps us understand that God created the whole world by his command. This means that the things we see were made by something that cannot be seen. Hebrews 11:1-3
Creation is His expression of Love. Trinity Revealed In Creation: Genesis 1 - 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, God = Father Spirit of God = Holy Spirit God Said = Word – Who is The Word? John 1 = The Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. and: 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Christian Belief - If you don’t believe God created everything then you don’t believe everything belongs to Him. - Then that means something or someone else created those parts you don’t believe in. Who? - Opposition to God is Satan. He has never once created anything. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10

God’s Human Family Only 3 chapters and we dropped the ball. Genesis 1 & 2 – All Good in paradise. God and man are good. God, man, and woman – harmony. 15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will CERTAINLY DIE.” Genesis 2:15–17. Genesis 3 – SIN enters their perfect world and humanity FALLS – Guilt, Shame & separation from God. Genesis 3 3 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made (NOTE – Adam knew serpent because he named the serpent.). He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” (NOTE – Subtle twist – Every lie has thread of truth) 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” (NOTE – She misquotes God’s Word Gen 2:16-17 – Slight but significant.) 4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” NOTE – Devil knows God’s Word better than Eve – God said “CERTAINLY DIE” to Adam (Genesis 2:17) – Eve never said the words “CERTAINLY DIE” to the serpent (Genesis 3:3) – Serpent used exact phrase as God “CERTAINLY DIE” (Genesis 3:4) – Eve did not know God’s Word because her husband failed to properly communicate what God told him (Genesis 2:16) – Adam failed to minister (God’s Word) to his wife and failed as the spiritual head of his family. - WHEN men fail to lead their families, someone / something else will!!! 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. NOTE: – After being manipulated, Eve did “SEE” that the fruit was good, pleasing, and desirable. TODAY EXAMPLE: Satan lures us into thinking there’s someone better, we’d be richer, happier. Unless grounded and living out His Word, we bite. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. NOTE – Eve is not a bad person. She is uninformed because she was misled by husband and manipulated by the devil. - She isn’t innocent because PRIDE tempted her with being LIKE GOD TODAY EXAMPLE: Look like this celebrity or model. They bought a car, so ... - PASSIVE MALE - Adam is with her as she’s being seduced. DEFAULT SINS LEAD TO FALL– Female = Independence & Male = Passivity – Adam fails to correct / help his wife for not knowing God’s Word, - Adam fails to confront the devil for manipulating her. - Adam violates God’s Word by joining in on the rebellion. - Adam was a Two’Fer – the devil took him down without saying a word. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. NOTE: – When do they reUNITE as ONE? In their Sin and Shame. - The first and last time they were in Purity and Unity was Genesis 2:23-24 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:23-24 (NIV) NOTE - - When We get cozy and complacent with sin – GOD MUST JUDGE - When Sin hangs out with us in intimate places – GOD MUST JUDGE - When Sin doesn’t alarm us because our eyes are off God – GOD MUST JUDGE - When Sin controls us when our pride dictates our relationship with rebellion. – GOD MUST JUDGE - Whether it’s Satan or us, changing God’s Word leads to destruction. – GOD MUST JUDGE - When we compromise God’s Truth, Satan wins – WE FALL – GOD MUST JUDGE
Jesus Christ raised from the dead on the third day after his Crucifixion. Celebrated as Easter - VICTORY over sin, death, and the devil.
Covenant shows the character of God (Trinity) – intentional and intimate - Tangible partnerships between God and People.
Five Stones Church held a special time of praise, prayer and covering as members of our church body with close ties to Ukraine shared their hearts for families, friends and ongoing missions efforts
Adam was a passive male who failed to minister to his wife, failed to resist the serpent as it seduced his wife and failed as a man of God. Don't be Adam.
"That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." ~ Genesis 2:24
NEVER know fullness of JOY outside of God’s image. STOP rejecting who God said you are STOP allowing everything else define you. Bible tells us: 1. Who God is 2. Who we are.
God reveals Himself to us so we know who He is and know who we are. Creation reveals God's loving nature to provide for us.
God reveals Himself to us so we know who He is and know who we are. The Bible is God's primary way of communicating with us.
