“The Benefits of Going Out From Church”

Matthew 9:36-38; Acts 5:2; Luke 19:10 (NKJV)

Rev. Richard Altork

June 10, 2018

Matthew 9:36-38

36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

Acts 5:2

2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Luke 19:10

10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

The Benefits of Going to Church

Hebrews 10:22-25

The Benefits of Going to Church

June 3, 2018

Rev. Richard Altork

22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (KJV)

Dealing with Strife

James 4:1-10

May 27, 2018

Rev. Bruce Brown

I. The Cause of Strife for Believers (vss 1-4)

II. Humble Submission to God's Grace Brings Peace (vss 9-10)

III. A Life of Joyful Grief is the Calling of Every Christian (vss 9-10)

“God humbles us not to keep us down, but to lift us up. It is the contrite in heart that God esteems (Isaiah 66:2), and the poor in spirit who receive the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3)… There should be no people more grief stricken, and yet more joyful, than Christians. The lower we are, the more lifted we are. It is the great paradox of the Christian life that we weep over our sin while singing in astounded joy of our salvation.” Sam Allberry

Wisdom Does Beautifully

James 3:13-18

Rev. Bruce Brown

May 13, 2018

I. Wisdom is Not a Matter of Knowledge But of Action (verse 13)

II. False Wisdom Behaving Badly (verses 14-16)

III. True Wisdom Behaving Beautifully (verses 17-18)

“Wisdom is something that can be shown, and does not exist if it is not shown. It is seen – not primarily in words but deeds… In looking for wisdom we are to look for the good life, not clever answers. And the good life is one made up of deeds done in humility. Wisdom leads to humility, which in turn produces good deeds.” ~ Sam Allberry

The Tongue: A Mighty Force

James 3:1-12

May 6, 2018

Rev. Bruce Brown

I. The Might of the Tongue Brings Great Responsibility (verses 1-5a)

II. The Recklessness of the Tongue Brings Continual Destruction (verses 5b-8)

III. The Inconsistency of the Tongue Brings Desire for Purity (verses 9-12)

“It rarely seems to strike us that it is precisely here, in our speech that sin is most likely to abound. Only when we have been brought to such a recognition do we realize how dangerous and destructive our tongues have been. Only then do we cry out to God in repentance and run to him with tears to seek forgiveness in the gospel.” ~ Sinclair Ferguson

Saving Faith Works!

James 2:14-26

April 29, 2018

Rev. Bruce Brown

I. A Dead Faith Substitutes Words for Deeds (verses 14-17)

II. A Demonic Faith Stops With Emotion Instead of Change (verses 18-19)

III. A dynamic Faith Shows Salvation Through Action (verses 20-26)

“Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith; and so it is impossible for it not to do good works incessantly… He who does not these works is a faithless man. He who wants to be a true Christian… must be truly a believer. But he does not truly believe if works of love do not follow his faith.” ~ Martin Luther

The Peril of Playing Favorites

James 2:1-13

April 22, 2018

Rev. Bruce Brown

I. Playing Favorites is Caused by Evil Motives (verses 1-4)

II. Playing Favorites Denies the Grace of God (verses 5-7)

III. Playing Favorited Forgets the Judgment of God (verses 8-12)

“James’ point is a simple one: favoritism is profoundly un-Christian. It says, in effect, that someone who is worth more to the world is worth more to the church, and, correspondingly, that someone who is worth less to the world is worth less to the church. Favoritism ends up judging one person’s soul as being of greater value than another’s, and it does all this on the basis of superficial, worldly criteria.” ~ Sam Allberry

Are We Listening?

James 1:19-27

Rev. Bruce Brown

I. Listeners Receive the Word of God in All of Life (verses 19-25)

II. Listeners Obey the Word of God in Their Actions (verses 22-25)

III. Listeners Live the Word of God as True Religion (verses 26-27)

“Life is never better without God’s Word, and it is never poorer with it. No command will ever work against us if we follow it, and ignoring one will never actually end up being better for us. We must be careful not to misdefine freedom, and so disobey the very words that will bring us true freedom.” ~ Sam Allberry

Grace in Trials

II. Ask God for Wisdom in Your Trials (verses 5-8)

III. Never Lose Sight of God's Goodness in Your Trials (verses 13-18)

“Faith is a little like a muscle in the human body. It is as it is worked out that it grows. It needs something to push against… Faith needs the pushback of trials for us to grow spiritually. Trials and difficulties are an opportunity to cling on to the promises of God more tightly.” ~ Sam Allberry

Ride on, ride on in majesty! Hear all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue Your road with palms and scattered garments stroked.

Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die. O Christ, Your triumphs now begin o’er captive death and conquered sin.

Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride to die, bow Your meek head to mortal pain,then take, O Christ, Your pow’r and reign. …Henry H. Milman

III. The Glory of Israel (verses 24-31)

“What, then, do we give in gratitude to the God who already has everything? Does he need money or songs or prayers? We should indeed offer these to God in thanks and love. But if we really want to please God – and what could be more worthwhile in all of life? – we will do his will, as it is written in his Book, in the name of Jesus Christ, the true and perfectly righteous king who offered no other sacrifice to God than his own obedient life, shedding his own blood for our sins.” ~ Richard D.
