May 15 & 16, 2021
CULTURE TELLS US:
“WE DISAGREE, SO WE HAVE TO DISCONNECT.”
1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. English Standard Version
Romans 15:5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. English Standard Version
UNITED becomes UNTIED
When we get the “I” out of place

1 Corinthians 5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. 2 And you are arrogant!

1 Corinthians 6:1 When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask asecular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! New Living Translation
Matthew 18:15 “If your brother or sister sins… STEP 1: go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. STEP 2: take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, STEP 3: tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, LAST RESORT: treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. New International Version
1 Corinthians 1:11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this:One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “Ifollow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.” New International Version

Was John MacArthur crucified for you?

Romans 14:1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. English Standard Version
Romans 14:5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. English Standard Version

Kingdom Culture Is Built On What I’m For

Romans 14:10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you,why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
