God allows for generous broad definitions of work, rest, mercy, necessity and piety to set apart the Sabbath. 2. Let us be careful to avoid the legalistic approach to the Sabbath. 3. Jesus' healings on Sabbath taught the acceptability of activities which refresh, heal, restore, and strengthen the body and spirit. 4. Let us prefer to be with Jesus, condemned and criticized, rather than with those doing the criticizing and condemning. 5. We must think the best of those who do things differently than us on the Sabbath. 6. There is no advantage to heartless Sabbath rule keeping. 7. The Sabbath day was not designed to hold us captive but rather to allow God to so captivate our hearts that we want time off from our work to spend with him in a special delightful way. The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.

The Context of Romans, Galatians and Colossians
Romans 14:5-6:
Galatians 4:9-11:
Colossians 2:16-17: 1. Don’t use the obscure to interpret the plain. 2. Remember the first audience had a Sunday Sabbath. 3. The fourth commandment was never defined as ceremonial. 4. Paul’s writings must maintain consistency.
Rightly interpreting Colossians 2:16
CONCLUDING APPLICATIONS: 1. Sabbath keeping is not disregarded as ceremonial. 2. Neither the Sabbath nor any other day will make you holy. 3. Heb. 10:24-25 rebukes the wrong interpretation of Colossians 2:16. 4. We need to keep Christ’s Sabbath command.

Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on 8/28/22 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC
7 Reasons for Observing the Sabbath on Sunday 1. Sunday is the day Jesus chose to meet with his church (Matt.28:1-9; Mark16:2,9; Luke24:1,13-31; John20:1, 11-18, 19, 26). 2. Sunday is the day the apostles of Christ held church (John20:19-26; Acts 20:7). 3. Sunday is the day offerings were collected (1Cor.16:1,2). 4. Sunday is the day for rejoicing in Christ’s resurrection (Psa.118:22-24; Acts 4:8-12). 5. Sunday is the day Christ rejoiced in his new heavens and earth (Isa.65:17,18, 20, 21; 66:1-2, 18-20a, 22-24). 6. Sunday is the day to commemorate final redemption in Christ (Deut.5:15). 7. Sunday Sabbath observance is consistent with fourth commandment language (Exod.20:8-11; 16:23-26; Neh.9:14).
Application: 1. Rejoice that God has continued a Sabbath rest for each of us. 2. Recognize the rationality of the switch to a Sunday Sabbath and be unashamed to join Christ and his church on that day.

Outline: 1. Images distort truth about God. Romans 1:25
-
True images of God are impossible. John 4:24 Deut.4:15-16
-
Our Images always obscure God's glory. Jn.1:14 Phil.2:5-10 Jn.17:5
-
Images of God are not needed for presenting Christ. 1Pet.1:23-25 2Tim.3:16,17)

WHY ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS SUMMARIZED BY LOVE? 1. Because God says so. Exod. 19 reveals the context John 14:15; 15:10 2. Because they reflect the nature of the Law-Giver 1 John 4:16; Matt.7:11 3.

Spiritual gifts are particular abilities given to believers in Christ to confirm and build up the body of Christ (1Cor.12:4-7; Rom.1:11).
The term “talent” in scripture is used to denote a unit of weight or money. We use it to refer to a “characteristic feature of a person.”

Scripture Passage: Romans 12:1-2 Outline: How We Find God’s Will
Two Wills of God Explained 1. God’s sovereign plan. 2. God’s specific precepts.
Two Wills of God Applied
Proving what the Will of God is 1. By presenting our bodies. 2. By renewing our minds in the Bible. 3. By trusting the Bible to apply to our situations and to direct us, (2Tim.3:16,17). 1) Will it allow us to worship God first and foremost? 2) Will it keep us from idolatry? 3) Will it keep us from profanity and promote purity? 4) Will it allow us to keep the Sabbath Day holy? 5) Will it respect the authorities God has established? 6) Will it promote the lives God has created? 7) Will it sustain marriage? 8) Will it respect private property? 9) Will it build up God’s people? 10) Will it keep us in our calling without coveting?

Bible Passage: Psalm 89 Outline:
God’s Old Covenant Cast Off and Rejected (v.1-37)
God’s Covenant Transition Anticipated (v.38-52)
God’s New Covenant in Christ for his People 1. God came to Israel by way of covenant (Gen.17:1-14). 2. The conditional nature of the covenant with the Jews is often repeated (Exod.19:5; Deut.28:45, 46, 62-64; 32:36; Dan.9:4-7; Ps.78:54-61). 3. Israel continues to reject Christ, the mediator of the new covenant. This is not disputed (John 1:11; Luke 19:42-44; Matt.21:43). 4. God declared his rejection/divorce of Israel for their unfaithfulness (Matt.21:43; 8:11-12; Isa.50:1; Jer. 3:8). 5. Jewish ethnicity does not establish heirs of God; only a saving relationship in Christ (Rom.8:15-17). 6. Christ’s new covenant is with his church from the nations (Eph.2:12-22).

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

Come behold the wondrous mystery in the dawning of the King He, the theme of heaven's praises robed in frail humanity In our longing in our darkness now the light of life has come Look to Christ who condescended took on flesh to ransom us
Come behold the wondrous mystery, He, the perfect Son of Man In His living in His suffering never trace nor stain of sin See the true and better Adam come to save the hell -bound man Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law, in Him we stand
Come behold the wondrous mystery, Christ the Lord upon the tree In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory See the price of our redemption, see the Father's plan unfold Bringing many sons to glory, grace unmeasured, love untold
Come behold the wondrous mystery, slain by death the God of life But no grave could ever restrain Him, praise the Lord, He is alive What a foretaste of deliverance, how unwavering our hope Christ in power resurrected, as we will be when He comes Sermon: Philippians 4:1-9 – David Rountree

Is God Purposeful in bringing Pandemics?
12 Reasons God Ordains Pain for our lives

4) As a consequence of sin to deter repeat offenses (1 Cor. 11:29-30)
5) To stimulate growth, maturity and perseverance in Christ (James 1:2-4)
6) To test and prove our faithfulness (1 Pet. 1:6-7)
7) To equip us for ministry to sufferers (2 Cor. 1:3-5)
8) To teach us to live by God’s word (Deut. 8:3)
9) To turn us back to God (Heb. 4:15-16)
10) To conform us to Christ’s sufferings (Phil. 3:8-11)
11) To more clearly display God’s works (John 9:1-3)
12) To exalt God-centered worship (Rom.8:28)
Job 1:1, 8; 42:6 Luke 13:1-5; John 9:1-3 Rev. 9:20-21
How do we Respond to Pandemics?

Let us seek God first and foremost! Ps. 46:1; Matt. 6:24-34 2 Chron. 16:12; 32:24 Heb. 4:16

Sermon by Dr. David Rountree on 9/29/19 at New Covenant Church in Anderson, SC.
Scripture Passage: Romans 6:15-23 Outline: Does anyone really know what a slave of righteousness is?
Romans 6:1-14 = free from the power of sin Romans 6:15-23 = free from the practice of sin
Everyone is a slave
Slavery Before conversion to Christ—enslaved to sin (v.16-23)
Slavery After conversion to Christ—enslaved to God (v.16-23)
Benefits of a slave to righteousness (just a few that come to mind): 1. We avoid those things for which we are ashamed (sin). 2. We avoid wasting time. No time serving God is wasted. 3. We bring delight and not burden to our spiritual leaders. 4. We cultivate and experience every fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 5. We become the delight of the saints of God as those who edify the church, even a blessing to our family and friends. 6. We lay up treasures in heaven for which there is lasting reward. 7. We become qualified with good reputation for all manner of spiritual endeavors both temporal and eternal. 8. We trade all temporary pleasures for those that last, eternal joy and the smile of God. 9. We shine light on the character and glory of Jesus for the world to see. 10. We gain the listening hear of the Master when we pray. 11. We gain a clear and wonderful identity and wholehearted love for God and man.
Considerations for Action 1. Is it possible to be free of sin and still live as if we were enslaved?
- Is it possible to be enslaved to sin and yet still think we are free?

Scripture: Romans 1:26-27
The Lie: Rom. 1:26-27
Ways God Describes LGBTQ Living, outside of Romans 1 • Gen. 18:20; 19:4-7, 24, 25 • Lev. 18:22; 20:13 • Jude 7 • Gen. 2:18, 20 • 1 Tim. 1:8-10 • 1 Cor. 6:9-11
What my LGBTQ Friends say: 1. God punished Sodom for inhospitality not homosexuality—Gen. 19:5 2. The “Strange flesh” is not LGBTQ but sex with angels—Jude 7; 2 Peter 2:4-10; Rom. 1:26, 27. 3. The Old Testament laws against same-sex activity in Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 were abrogated with the other ceremonial laws at the time of Christ. 4. The word “natural” in Romans 1:26-27 is subjective.
Answering Questions for LGBTQ Family & Friends 1. Will LGBTQ “lovers of God” inherit heaven? – Matt. 7:22, 23; John 14:15; 1 John 5:3; 2:4; Eph. 5:5; 1 Cor. 6:9-11. 2. How do we live with LGBTQ family and friends?— Rom. 2:1-4; 2 Tim. 2:22-26; Isa. 5:20, 24. We trust, love, pray, share Christ, weep. 3. Is there any hope a LGBTQ person will change? Eph. 2:12; 1 Cor. 6:9-11. 4. Are LGBTQ desires a force beyond their control? – Matt. 1:23; Eph. 2: 1-5. 5. What if we have same-sex attractions? – 1 Cor. 10:31; Luke 9:23; Gal. 5:16-26.
Romans 1:24-25
Battle Plan for Victory over Temptations to Sexual Lust 1. Acknowledge sexual lusts exist in us. Prov. 28:13; Prov. 4:14, 15 2. Confess the sin of breaking the 7th and 8th commandments. Matt. 5:28 3. Know your Target. Not porn, naked, masturbation, lust via looking 4. Aim at the Heart not others. Adam blamed Eve ….(Gen. 3:12, 13) the problem is our own heart (Mark 7:14-23) “Adult consent” does not define what is permissible 5. God’s Word not our “will power” is the primary tool for victory. Matt. 26:41; Ps. 119:9-11; James 1:21; Rom. 13:12-14 a. Matthew 5:29-30 b. Matthew 5:8 c. 1 Cor. 6:19, 20 d. 2 Corinthians 5:17 e. Galatians 6:7 f. Hebrews 2:18 g. Hebrews 10:24-25 h. James 1:14-15 i. Proverbs 5:18-19 j. Lamentations 3:25 6. The Lord’s Supper. 1 Cor. 11:27-32 7. Marriage. Prov. 5:15-20; 1 Cor. 7:2-9 8. Prayer. Matt. 17:21 9. Prudence. Prov. 14:16
