But not of the world?

As christians, we're called to live
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:25.415
By a different set of standards
00:00:25.415 --> 00:00:27.450
Than our non-christian neighbors,

[announcer] think about a child in your life
00:02:42.185 --> 00:02:43.553
Who needs to put their faith in jesus.
00:02:43.553 --> 00:02:45.955
How do you explain the gospel to them
00:02:45.955 --> 00:02:47.690
In a way they can understand?
00:02:47.690 --> 00:02:49.392
In "the gift: the gospel for children",
00:02:49.392 --> 00:02:51.728
Dr. robert jeffress presents the gospel message
00:02:51.728 --> 00:02:54.330
In a way that's clear and engaging.
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:56.532
The book also includes a salvation prayer
00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:58.701
For you to pray with your child or grandchild.
00:02:58.701 --> 00:03:01.170
Give your child the most important gift
00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:03.106
They'll ever receive,
00:03:03.106 --> 00:03:04.607
The opportunity to begin a relationship with jesus christ.

The people were dividing over their leaders.
00:03:17.553 --> 00:03:20.290
One sign of immaturity in a church
00:03:20.290 --> 00:03:22.592
Is that people divide over leaders in the church.
00:03:22.592 --> 00:03:26.796
They idolize their leaders
00:03:26.796 --> 00:03:28.364
And then they enjoy tearing down their leaders.
00:03:28.364 --> 00:03:30.767
And there were those in the corinthian church
00:03:30.767 --> 00:03:32.902
Who divided according to their pastors.
00:03:32.902 --> 00:03:35.305
Some were saying,
00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:36.706
"well, i'm appalled, the founding pastor of the church."
00:03:36.706 --> 00:03:40.009
Others were saying,
00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:41.311
"nah, he really wasn't that great of a pastor.
00:03:41.311 --> 00:03:43.379
I like the new guy, here.
00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:45.181
I like apollos.
00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:46.582
He's a better pastor than the last pastor was."
00:03:46.582 --> 00:03:49.052
Some are saying, "well, i like the original pastor
00:03:49.052 --> 00:03:51.387
Of the church in jerusalem, peter.
00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:53.189
I'm one of his followers."
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.924
And then, there were some in the church who are saying,
00:03:54.924 --> 00:03:56.559
"oh, i don't follow any man at all.
00:03:56.559 --> 00:03:58.561
I only follow jesus."
00:03:58.561 --> 00:04:00.029
And they're the most dangerous of all
00:04:00.029 --> 00:04:01.731
Because they're the super-spiritual,
00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.900
Pseudo-spiritual people.
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:05.535
It would be like people in our church
00:04:05.535 --> 00:04:07.437
Dividing up over pastors,
00:04:07.437 --> 00:04:09.772
Some saying, "oh, i'm a jeffress man.
00:04:09.772 --> 00:04:12.508
I like that pastor jeffress."
00:04:12.508 --> 00:04:14.644
Others saying, "oh, i like pastor brunson.
00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:16.879
He was much better than pastor jeffress."
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:18.948
And others saying,
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:20.183
"oh, i'll always be a criswell person
00:04:20.183 --> 00:04:22.018
Until the day i die."
00:04:22.018 --> 00:04:23.753
And then others saying,
00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:24.721
"oh, no, i just follow jesus."
00:04:24.721 --> 00:04:28.024
Dividing along the lines of leadership,
00:04:28.024 --> 00:04:30.827
That was what was happening in the corinthian church.
00:04:30.827 --> 00:04:34.030
In chapters five to six,
00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:35.665
You have disorders in the church.
00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:38.000
Paul is going to address several disorders
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.703
That were occurring in the church.
00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:42.038
One was a man was living with his stepmother
00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:44.540
In flagrant immorality.
00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:47.643
Another problem was lawsuits,
00:04:47.643 --> 00:04:49.779
Christians suing other christians.
00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:51.881
We're going to talk about that.
00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:53.416
Should a christian ever take another christian to court?
00:04:53.416 --> 00:04:56.519
Fornication was taking place in the church,
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.721
All types of sexual immorality.
00:04:58.721 --> 00:05:01.991
And then, in chapters seven through 14,
00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:03.960
Paul talks about difficulties in the church.
00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:07.730
In chapter seven,
00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:09.232
He's going to address the topic of divorce and remarriage.
00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:12.735
Is there any occasion
00:05:12.735 --> 00:05:14.170
In which divorce and remarriage are permitted?
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:17.106
And what about the case where one person becomes a christian
00:05:17.106 --> 00:05:20.910
And the other is a non-christian?
00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:22.912
We're going to look at that.
00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:24.280
And then, chapters eight through 10.
00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:25.848
What about the gray areas of the christian life?
00:05:25.848 --> 00:05:28.284
What about those areas that the bible
00:05:28.284 --> 00:05:30.420
Doesn't address specifically,
00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:32.355
Those questionable areas of behavior?
00:05:32.355 --> 00:05:34.757
In paul's day, the issue was meat,
00:05:34.757 --> 00:05:38.428
Eating meat that had been offered to idols.
00:05:38.428 --> 00:05:40.997
That's probably not on the list of your concerns right now
00:05:42.131 --> 00:05:44.300
Of things you wonder about.
00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:46.135
If i were going to draw a parallel to a situation today,
00:05:46.135 --> 00:05:49.305
I might use alcoholic consumption.
00:05:49.305 --> 00:05:52.108
Is it right for a christian to drink alcohol?
00:05:52.108 --> 00:05:55.044
Is there a verse in the bible
00:05:55.044 --> 00:05:56.479
That says no alcohol should ever touch your lips?
00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:59.148
And if there is no such law,
00:05:59.148 --> 00:06:01.117
Why shouldn't we all drink?
00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:02.385
What's wrong with it?
00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:03.953
And paul's going to address that issue
00:06:03.953 --> 00:06:05.688
In chapters eight through 10.
00:06:05.688 --> 00:06:07.457
Chapter 11,
00:06:07.457 --> 00:06:09.225
I'm wearing my flack jacket for this one,
00:06:09.225 --> 00:06:11.127
The role of women in the church, okay?
00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:14.030
Paul's going to talk about that in chapter 11.
00:06:14.030 --> 00:06:17.300
What are women permitted to do
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.035
And not permitted to do in the church?
00:06:19.035 --> 00:06:21.270
And then, chapters 12 through 14,
00:06:21.270 --> 00:06:23.306
He talks about spiritual gifts in the church,
00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:26.709
The gift of tongues.
00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:27.844
Is it a gift that's relevant today?
00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:29.645
Is it a gift we ought to strive after?
00:06:29.645 --> 00:06:31.581
Are there other spiritual gifts that we ought to seek?
00:06:31.581 --> 00:06:34.951
We're going to have a long discussion
00:06:34.951 --> 00:06:36.385
About the subject of spiritual gifts.
00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:38.521
And then, in chapter 15,
00:06:38.521 --> 00:06:39.789
He addresses the subject of doctrine,
00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:41.958
Especially the doctrine of the resurrection.
00:06:41.958 --> 00:06:44.393
There was some false teaching in corinth
00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:46.762
About the whole issue of the resurrection.
00:06:46.762 --> 00:06:49.632
And in chapter 15,
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:51.167
Paul is going to answer every question
00:06:51.167 --> 00:06:53.503
You can even imagine having about the resurrection,
00:06:53.503 --> 00:06:56.672
And specifically,
00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:58.107
What is your new body going to be like in heaven?
00:06:58.107 --> 00:07:00.743
He answers that in chapter 15.
00:07:00.743 --> 00:07:02.979
And then, finally, in chapter 16,
00:07:02.979 --> 00:07:05.214
He gives direction to the church.
00:07:05.214 --> 00:07:08.351
I want you to notice in verse two,
00:07:08.351 --> 00:07:10.586
Paul says he writes this letter
00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:12.822
To the church of god which is at corinth.
00:07:12.822 --> 00:07:16.526
Paul is reminding the corinthians,
00:07:16.526 --> 00:07:18.828
Just like he is reminding us,
00:07:18.828 --> 00:07:21.230
The church does not belong to us.
00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:23.766
We are not free to operate the church
00:07:23.766 --> 00:07:26.135
As we choose to operate it.
00:07:26.135 --> 00:07:27.970
This church, first baptist church of dallas,
00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:30.206
Belongs to jesus christ.
00:07:30.206 --> 00:07:32.241
It is his church,
00:07:32.241 --> 00:07:33.643
And because it is his church,
00:07:33.643 --> 00:07:35.278
We have an obligation to operate it
00:07:35.278 --> 00:07:38.047
According to his principles.
00:07:38.047 --> 00:07:40.182
The difficulty is,
00:07:40.182 --> 00:07:41.751
God's principles are always different than our principles.
00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:45.421
Now, in these final few moments tonight,
00:07:45.421 --> 00:07:47.356
Let's look at the first nine verses
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:49.692
Of 1 corinthians 1.
00:07:49.692 --> 00:07:51.694
Make sure you have your bibles open.
00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:53.763
First of all, notice in verses two and three,
00:07:53.763 --> 00:07:55.698
Paul is going to discuss our position in christ.
00:07:55.698 --> 00:07:59.368
He writes, beginning in verse two:
00:07:59.368 --> 00:08:01.404
To the church of god which is at corinth,
00:08:01.404 --> 00:08:03.806
To those who have been sanctified in christ jesus,
00:08:03.806 --> 00:08:06.742
Saints by calling,
00:08:06.742 --> 00:08:08.611
With all who in every place call upon the name
00:08:08.611 --> 00:08:11.013
Of our lord jesus christ, their lord and ours,
00:08:11.013 --> 00:08:13.783
Grace to you, and peace,
00:08:13.783 --> 00:08:15.952
From god, our father, and the lord jesus christ.
00:08:15.952 --> 00:08:19.455
Now, had i been the apostle paul
00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:21.791
And i were writing this letter,
00:08:21.791 --> 00:08:23.392
I'll have to confess to you,
00:08:23.392 --> 00:08:24.927
I would've lit into those corinthians right away, okay?
00:08:24.927 --> 00:08:28.331
I would've let them have it.
00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:29.832
Just think!
00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:31.000
I mean, living in fornication,
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:33.502
Somebody living with their stepmother,
00:08:33.502 --> 00:08:36.038
Getting drunk at the lord's table?
00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:38.507
Can you imagine such a thing?
00:08:38.507 --> 00:08:40.943
Many of you may not know this,
00:08:40.943 --> 00:08:42.278
But did you know we used to serve real wine
00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:44.347
At the lord's supper here many, many years ago?
00:08:44.347 --> 00:08:47.049
Real wine was served at the lord's supper.
00:08:47.049 --> 00:08:49.185
I read this in one of the accounts of the church.
00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:51.153
Mrs. truitt put a stop to it
00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:53.522
When she saw one of the deacons
00:08:53.522 --> 00:08:55.157
Enjoying the lord's supper a little bit too much.
00:08:55.157 --> 00:08:57.126
(congregation laughing)
00:08:57.126 --> 00:08:58.027
And she put a stop to it,
00:08:58.027 --> 00:08:59.662
And after that, we started using grape juice here.
00:08:59.662 --> 00:09:02.665
Well, in paul's day, it wasn't just one deacon doing that,
00:09:02.665 --> 00:09:06.402
It was many at the church
00:09:06.402 --> 00:09:07.870
Were actually getting drunk at the lord's supper.
00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:10.239
Man, i would've rebuked them right away
00:09:10.239 --> 00:09:12.642
For doing such stuff.
00:09:12.642 --> 00:09:13.643
Not paul.
00:09:13.643 --> 00:09:14.744
He was much wiser.
00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:16.345
Instead, he addresses them as,
00:09:16.345 --> 00:09:18.581
"those who have been sanctified in christ jesus,
00:09:18.581 --> 00:09:21.984
Saints by calling."
00:09:21.984 --> 00:09:25.388
Paul is teaching one of the most important doctrines
00:09:25.388 --> 00:09:28.157
Of the christian faith,
00:09:28.157 --> 00:09:29.325
And that of sanctification.
00:09:29.325 --> 00:09:32.261
If you are a believer in jesus christ,
00:09:32.261 --> 00:09:35.031
You have been sanctified.
00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:36.866
That word means you have been set apart
00:09:36.866 --> 00:09:39.435
For a special purpose.
00:09:39.435 --> 00:09:41.137
You see, that's what a saint is in the bible.
00:09:41.137 --> 00:09:44.040
A saint is not somebody
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:45.341
Who's been voted on by some ecclesiastical body
00:09:45.341 --> 00:09:48.044
And whose image hangs on a rear view mirror
00:09:48.044 --> 00:09:50.112
And we hang it there for good luck.
00:09:50.112 --> 00:09:52.148
That is not what a saint is in the bible.
00:09:52.148 --> 00:09:54.917
A saint, in the new testament,
00:09:54.917 --> 00:09:56.952
Is somebody who has been set apart by god
00:09:56.952 --> 00:10:00.056
For a unique purpose.
00:10:00.056 --> 00:10:01.857
And if you are a christian tonight, you are a saint.
00:10:01.857 --> 00:10:07.196
I bet you never thought of yourself that way, did you?
00:10:08.297 --> 00:10:09.899
You are a saint.
00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:11.734
You are a special person.
00:10:11.734 --> 00:10:13.502
You have been set apart for god for a unique purpose.
00:10:13.502 --> 00:10:16.806
In fact, i want you to do something right now.
00:10:16.806 --> 00:10:18.708
I want you to turn to the person
00:10:18.708 --> 00:10:20.109
On your left and on your right,
00:10:20.109 --> 00:10:21.444
And i want you to introduce yourself
00:10:21.444 --> 00:10:23.079
And i want you to say,
00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:24.146
"hello, i'm saint,"
00:10:24.146 --> 00:10:25.648
And give your first name, okay?
00:10:25.648 --> 00:10:27.149
I want you to do that right now.
00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:28.384
Just introduce yourself.
00:10:28.384 --> 00:10:30.152
(congregation talking)
00:10:30.152 --> 00:10:38.561
All right.
00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:41.931
I can just see all these halos out there
00:10:42.798 --> 00:10:44.867
Above your heads right now.
00:10:44.867 --> 00:10:47.002
Now, here's the rule for the rest of the night.
00:10:47.002 --> 00:10:50.239
We're going to refer to each other that way
00:10:50.239 --> 00:10:51.841
Just for tonight, okay?
00:10:51.841 --> 00:10:53.943
Because that's really an important doctrine to understand,
00:10:53.943 --> 00:10:57.713
That we have not only been saved by god,
00:10:57.713 --> 00:11:00.683
We have been selected by god for a unique purpose.
00:11:00.683 --> 00:11:04.186
Paul loved that word, saint.
00:11:04.186 --> 00:11:05.855
Even though he was a murderer,
00:11:05.855 --> 00:11:07.857
A persecutor of christians,
00:11:07.857 --> 00:11:09.992
He understood he had been saved and selected by god.
00:11:09.992 --> 00:11:12.995
That's why he used the term
00:11:12.995 --> 00:11:14.663
Over 60 times in all of his letters.
00:11:14.663 --> 00:11:17.700
Now, paul had a method to using this term.
00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:20.569
He was hoping that by reminding the corinthians
00:11:20.569 --> 00:11:23.472
Of their position in christ
00:11:23.472 --> 00:11:26.108
That he could encourage them to start acting in a way
00:11:26.108 --> 00:11:30.079
That was consistent with who they were in christ.
00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:33.516
I remember reading this story about a pastor's son
00:11:33.516 --> 00:11:36.485
Who had been caught shoplifting in a local department store.
00:11:36.485 --> 00:11:40.689
At the time, the pastor was playing golf
00:11:40.689 --> 00:11:42.625
With some of his buddies
00:11:42.625 --> 00:11:44.093
When he got the call that his son had been arrested,
00:11:44.093 --> 00:11:45.728
So he asked his friends to go with him
00:11:45.728 --> 00:11:48.030
Down to the police station to visit his son.
00:11:48.030 --> 00:11:50.933
And the son, years later, said:
00:11:50.933 --> 00:11:53.202
What made the greatest impression upon me that afternoon
00:11:53.202 --> 00:11:57.239
Was hearing what my father's friends said to me.
00:11:57.239 --> 00:12:00.643
They kept saying over and over again,
00:12:00.643 --> 00:12:03.712
"having a father like you have,
00:12:03.712 --> 00:12:06.882
How could you have done what you did?
00:12:06.882 --> 00:12:09.985
Having a father like you have,
00:12:10.619 --> 00:12:12.822
How could you have done what you did?"
00:12:12.822 --> 00:12:15.958
What paul is saying is,
00:12:16.458 --> 00:12:17.993
We ought to all keep in mind who our heavenly father is.
00:12:17.993 --> 00:12:22.031
And when we understand who our heavenly father is,
00:12:22.031 --> 00:12:24.967
It helps us to know how to behave.
00:12:24.967 --> 00:12:27.269
In fact, that leads us to the theme of 1 corinthians.
00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:29.572
I want you to write it down.
00:12:29.572 --> 00:12:31.106
Here's the theme.
00:12:31.106 --> 00:12:32.308
Our position in christ
00:12:32.308 --> 00:12:34.643
Should motivate us to live like christ.
00:12:34.643 --> 00:12:38.013
Our position in christ
00:12:38.013 --> 00:12:40.115
Should motivate us to live like christ.
00:12:40.115 --> 00:12:42.585
We are saints of the almighty god.
00:12:42.585 --> 00:12:45.721
We ought to live in that very same way.
00:12:45.721 --> 00:12:48.691
Now, after talking about our position in christ,
00:12:48.691 --> 00:12:50.993
He next talks about our wealth from christ
00:12:50.993 --> 00:12:53.963
In verses four through nine.
00:12:53.963 --> 00:12:55.397
Since we have been set aside by god,
00:12:55.397 --> 00:12:57.633
He has given us a marvelous gift,
00:12:57.633 --> 00:13:00.102
And that gift is the gift of grace.
00:13:00.102 --> 00:13:04.039
Do you know what grace is?
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.875
Many people think,
00:13:05.875 --> 00:13:07.176
"well, that means god not sending us to hell."
00:13:07.176 --> 00:13:08.744
No, that's mercy.
00:13:08.744 --> 00:13:10.446
Mercy is god not giving us what we do deserve.
00:13:10.446 --> 00:13:14.817
Grace is god giving us what we don't deserve.
00:13:14.817 --> 00:13:18.621
I'd illustrate it this way, parents.
00:13:18.621 --> 00:13:20.689
Imagine your teenager wrecks the car.
00:13:20.689 --> 00:13:24.059
Mercy is,
00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:26.662
You're not grounding your child for six months, okay?
00:13:26.662 --> 00:13:29.999
That's mercy.
00:13:29.999 --> 00:13:31.567
Grace is your decision to give your child a brand-new car.
00:13:31.567 --> 00:13:36.372
Do you understand the difference?
00:13:36.372 --> 00:13:37.740
Mercy, god not giving us what we deserve.
00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.743
Grace, god giving us what we don't deserve.
00:13:40.743 --> 00:13:44.413
And throughout this passage, god talks about,
00:13:44.413 --> 00:13:47.683
Or paul talks about god's grace in our life.
00:13:47.683 --> 00:13:50.185
And i want you to notice the three practical benefits
00:13:50.185 --> 00:13:53.122
Of what god's grace has brought into your life and my life.
00:13:53.122 --> 00:13:56.992
First of all, god's grace provides
00:13:56.992 --> 00:13:58.994
Forgiveness from the past,
00:13:58.994 --> 00:14:01.363
Forgiveness from the past.
00:14:01.363 --> 00:14:02.431
Look at verse four, chapter one.
00:14:02.431 --> 00:14:04.066
"i thank my god always concerning you,
00:14:04.066 --> 00:14:07.636
For the grace of god which was given you in christ jesus."
00:14:07.636 --> 00:14:12.975
That verb, "which was given,"
00:14:13.609 --> 00:14:15.878
Is in the aorist tense,
00:14:15.878 --> 00:14:18.247
Which gives the idea of something
00:14:18.247 --> 00:14:20.249
That happened at a particular time in the past.
00:14:20.249 --> 00:14:24.053
In other words, paul says,
00:14:24.053 --> 00:14:25.154
There was a point in your life
00:14:25.154 --> 00:14:26.689
In which god's grace was given to you.
00:14:26.689 --> 00:14:29.158
His forgiveness was given to you.
00:14:29.158 --> 00:14:30.893
And think about this.
00:14:30.893 --> 00:14:32.361
When jesus christ died for your sins 2,000 years ago,
00:14:32.361 --> 00:14:37.199
All of your sins at that time were still future.
00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:40.602
There was a point in time
00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:41.937
Which god forgave you of all of your sins,
00:14:41.937 --> 00:14:45.874
And that means the total removal of guilt.
00:14:45.874 --> 00:14:49.712
You know, there are christians,
00:14:49.712 --> 00:14:50.713
And perhaps you're one of them,
00:14:50.713 --> 00:14:52.548
That occasionally get all upset and bent out of shape
00:14:52.548 --> 00:14:56.018
Over, maybe, some sin they committed
00:14:56.018 --> 00:14:57.753
Before they were a christian.
00:14:57.753 --> 00:14:59.822
Or maybe it's even a sin
00:14:59.822 --> 00:15:01.223
That they've committed after they're a christian,
00:15:01.223 --> 00:15:03.826
And they say to themself over and over again,
00:15:03.826 --> 00:15:06.295
"i can't forgive myself,
00:15:06.295 --> 00:15:08.097
I can't forgive myself,
00:15:08.097 --> 00:15:09.631
I can't forgive myself."
00:15:09.631 --> 00:15:11.700
You know what?
00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:13.135
They're right.
00:15:13.135 --> 00:15:14.336
When you say you can't forgive yourself,
00:15:15.204 --> 00:15:17.339
You're telling the truth.
00:15:17.339 --> 00:15:18.640
You can't forgive yourself.
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:20.843
I can't forgive myself.
00:15:20.843 --> 00:15:22.378
I hear all this talk about learning to forgive yourself.
00:15:22.378 --> 00:15:25.114
You can never forgive yourself
00:15:25.114 --> 00:15:27.182
Because you don't have the right to forgive yourself.
00:15:27.182 --> 00:15:29.451
I say to people,
00:15:29.451 --> 00:15:30.352
Trying to forgive yourself
00:15:30.352 --> 00:15:31.754
Is like trying to play tennis by yourself, okay?
00:15:31.754 --> 00:15:35.157
It's like trying to be on both sides of the net
00:15:35.157 --> 00:15:37.059
At the same time.
00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:37.893
You can't do it.
00:15:37.893 --> 00:15:38.861
Solo tennis isn't possible,
00:15:38.861 --> 00:15:41.330
And it's also not possible for you to forgive yourself.
00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:43.999
You can't be the one committing sin
00:15:43.999 --> 00:15:45.801
And then turning around and the one forgiving sin.
00:15:45.801 --> 00:15:48.003
You can't do it.
00:15:48.003 --> 00:15:49.238
Only god can forgive you of your sins.
00:15:49.238 --> 00:15:53.776
Amy and i went to a movie last weekend
00:15:53.776 --> 00:15:57.746
With robert duvall called "get low",
00:15:57.746 --> 00:16:00.816
And the movie is about a man
00:16:00.816 --> 00:16:03.752
Who is planning his funeral,
00:16:03.752 --> 00:16:05.888
And he is haunted by a terrible misdeed
00:16:05.888 --> 00:16:09.224
He committed 40 years earlier,
00:16:09.224 --> 00:16:11.493
And you don't find out what this misdeed is
00:16:11.493 --> 00:16:14.263
Until the very end of the movie.
00:16:14.263 --> 00:16:15.931
It's the surprise.
00:16:15.931 --> 00:16:17.499
But throughout, at one point in the movie,
00:16:17.499 --> 00:16:19.835
Robert duvall goes to a pastor,
00:16:19.835 --> 00:16:21.837
And the pastor says,
00:16:21.837 --> 00:16:23.338
"you need god's forgiveness."
00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:25.374
And robert duvall says,
00:16:25.374 --> 00:16:27.309
"i don't want forgiveness."
00:16:27.309 --> 00:16:29.645
And the reason he didn't want forgiveness is,
00:16:29.645 --> 00:16:31.547
He felt like that he could pay,
00:16:31.547 --> 00:16:33.816
Atone for his own sins by living as a hermit,
00:16:33.816 --> 00:16:36.752
By living a miserable existence.
00:16:36.752 --> 00:16:39.388
There are some people out there
00:16:39.388 --> 00:16:40.989
That really don't want forgiveness because, out of pride,
00:16:40.989 --> 00:16:43.692
They think, somehow,
00:16:43.692 --> 00:16:45.527
If they're just miserable enough for long enough,
00:16:45.527 --> 00:16:47.863
Somehow, they can atone for their own sins.
00:16:47.863 --> 00:16:51.433
It's only in humility that you come to god and say,
00:16:51.433 --> 00:16:54.103
"i can't forgive myself.
00:16:54.103 --> 00:16:56.071
I need your forgiveness in my life."
00:16:56.071 --> 00:16:58.707
And paul says that's a benefit of grace.
00:16:58.707 --> 00:17:01.110
It provides forgiveness from the past.
00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:03.812
Not only that,
00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:04.947
Grace gives us gifts for the present,
00:17:04.947 --> 00:17:07.850
Gifts for the present.
00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:08.884
Look at verses five to seven,
00:17:08.884 --> 00:17:10.552
"that in everything, you were enriched in him,
00:17:10.552 --> 00:17:13.722
In all speech and all knowledge,
00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:15.891
Even as the testimony concerning christ
00:17:15.891 --> 00:17:18.560
Was confirmed in you,
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.028
So that you are not lacking in any gift."
00:17:20.028 --> 00:17:24.166
Now, the context here is ministry.
00:17:24.166 --> 00:17:26.602
Paul just assumes that if you've received the grace of god,
00:17:26.602 --> 00:17:29.538
If you're a saint who's been selected by god,
00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:31.807
You're going to be actively involved in ministry,
00:17:31.807 --> 00:17:34.376
Even if it's as an ordained plumber, okay?
00:17:34.376 --> 00:17:39.081
He assumes everybody's involved in ministry,
00:17:39.081 --> 00:17:41.717
And so, he says you need to know,
00:17:41.717 --> 00:17:43.986
Because you are a receiver of grace,
00:17:43.986 --> 00:17:47.055
You have every gift you need for ministry.
00:17:47.055 --> 00:17:49.558
He said you'll have all speech.
00:17:49.558 --> 00:17:52.094
That is, god will guide you in what you say
00:17:52.094 --> 00:17:54.630
When you're talking to somebody about jesus christ.
00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:57.499
He'll provide you all knowledge.
00:17:57.499 --> 00:17:59.568
Now, students listening here tonight,
00:17:59.568 --> 00:18:01.103
That doesn't mean you don't have to study for an exam, okay,
00:18:01.103 --> 00:18:03.639
That god suddenly puts all knowledge in your mind.
00:18:03.639 --> 00:18:06.308
First of all, he's talking about scriptural knowledge,
00:18:06.308 --> 00:18:08.944
And what he's saying is,
00:18:08.944 --> 00:18:10.379
Everything you need to know in ministry
00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:12.648
Is contained right here in scripture.
00:18:12.648 --> 00:18:14.516
And that's why 2 timothy 2:15 says,
00:18:14.516 --> 00:18:16.785
"study to show yourself approved unto god
00:18:16.785 --> 00:18:19.555
A workman that does not need to be ashamed,
00:18:19.555 --> 00:18:22.191
Rightly dividing the word of truth."
00:18:22.191 --> 00:18:25.194
Everything we need to know,
00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:26.628
All knowledge is in scripture.
00:18:26.628 --> 00:18:28.530
And thirdly, he's given us all the gifts that we need.
00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:32.000
Now, a lot of people miss this,
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.069
But god has given you every gift
00:18:34.069 --> 00:18:36.238
You need for life and for godliness,
00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:38.941
According to 2 peter 1:3.
00:18:38.941 --> 00:18:42.110
"everything you need for life and godliness,
00:18:42.110 --> 00:18:45.047
He's already given you."
00:18:45.047 --> 00:18:46.548
Now, he's talking there about spiritual gifts.
00:18:46.548 --> 00:18:49.184
We'll get to that in 1 corinthians 12.
00:18:49.184 --> 00:18:51.420
Did you know that when you were saved,
00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:53.555
God not only forgave you,
00:18:53.555 --> 00:18:54.957
But he gave you a unique spiritual gift,
00:18:54.957 --> 00:18:58.460
A special desire and a special empowerment
00:18:58.460 --> 00:19:02.097
To be used in the ministry for christ?
00:19:02.097 --> 00:19:05.968
And i believe one of the keys to joy in life
00:19:05.968 --> 00:19:08.170
Is discovering what that unique gift is,
00:19:08.170 --> 00:19:10.572
And we're going to show you how to do that
00:19:10.572 --> 00:19:11.840
When we get to 1 corinthians 12.
00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:13.909
So, he's saying you have every gift you need,
00:19:13.909 --> 00:19:17.446
But of course, he's also talking about
00:19:17.446 --> 00:19:19.381
The gift of the holy spirit himself.
00:19:19.381 --> 00:19:22.117
In 1 corinthians 12:13, paul is going to say,
00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:24.753
"for with one spirit," the holy spirit,
00:19:24.753 --> 00:19:27.289
"we were all baptized into one body."
00:19:27.289 --> 00:19:30.359
You don't have to plead and beg and cry
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.295
And hope god will give you a gift after you're saved.
00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:36.598
You have everything you need,
00:19:36.598 --> 00:19:38.533
The moment you're saved,
00:19:38.533 --> 00:19:39.635
To live a holy and productive life.
00:19:39.635 --> 00:19:41.970
Think about your physical birth.
00:19:41.970 --> 00:19:44.039
When you were born physically,
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.074
Did you get your eyes in the first month,
00:19:46.975 --> 00:19:49.044
And then six months later, get your ears,
00:19:49.044 --> 00:19:51.546
And 12 months later, get a heart,
00:19:51.546 --> 00:19:53.382
And two years later, get lungs?
00:19:53.382 --> 00:19:55.083
No!
00:19:55.083 --> 00:19:56.184
You got all of the parts you needed
00:19:56.184 --> 00:19:58.487
The moment you were born.
00:19:58.487 --> 00:20:00.355
And the same way, the moment you are born again,
00:20:00.355 --> 00:20:03.125
God gives you everything you need.
00:20:03.125 --> 00:20:05.894
1 peter 1:3, "for life and for godliness."
00:20:05.894 --> 00:20:09.398
He says, "you have all of the gifts that you need."
00:20:09.398 --> 00:20:13.568
Now, thirdly, paul says the benefit of grace is,
00:20:13.568 --> 00:20:16.271
Not only does it provide forgiveness from the past
00:20:16.271 --> 00:20:18.607
And gifts for the present,
00:20:18.607 --> 00:20:19.775
It also gives us hope for the future.
00:20:19.775 --> 00:20:22.411
Look at verses seven through nine.
00:20:22.411 --> 00:20:24.579
He says, "waiting eagerly the revelation
00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:27.349
Of our lord jesus christ,
00:20:27.349 --> 00:20:29.217
Who will also confirm,"
00:20:29.217 --> 00:20:31.753
Write out beside your bible the word guarantee.
00:20:31.753 --> 00:20:34.356
That's what the word means.
00:20:34.356 --> 00:20:35.757
"who will also guarantee you to the end,
00:20:35.757 --> 00:20:39.061
Blameless in the day of our lord jesus christ.
00:20:39.061 --> 00:20:42.264
For god is faithful
00:20:42.264 --> 00:20:43.665
Through whom you were called into fellowship,"
00:20:43.665 --> 00:20:46.068
That word means oneness,
00:20:46.068 --> 00:20:47.402
"with his son, jesus christ our lord."
00:20:47.402 --> 00:20:51.173
You know what this is saying?
00:20:51.807 --> 00:20:53.508
One day, god is going to usher you into his presence
00:20:53.508 --> 00:20:58.146
If you're a christian.
00:20:58.146 --> 00:20:59.614
Because you're a recipient of grace,
00:20:59.614 --> 00:21:01.750
Because you have been stamped with the holy spirit of god
00:21:01.750 --> 00:21:04.453
As his guarantee,
00:21:04.453 --> 00:21:05.787
One day, you can know for sure
00:21:05.787 --> 00:21:08.256
God is going to usher you into his very presence.
00:21:08.256 --> 00:21:11.760
Isn't that a great truth?
00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:13.729
We are going to be ushered into god's presence.
00:21:13.729 --> 00:21:15.964
The question is,
00:21:15.964 --> 00:21:17.265
How do we prepare for that inevitable day
00:21:17.265 --> 00:21:20.669
When we're going to face god?
00:21:20.669 --> 00:21:22.671
One way is to make sure
00:21:22.671 --> 00:21:24.005
That we have received that gift of grace.
00:21:24.005 --> 00:21:27.442
But also, paul says,
00:21:27.442 --> 00:21:28.977
Make sure that you are living an obedient life,
00:21:28.977 --> 00:21:32.681
One that is consistent with your calling in christ.
00:21:32.681 --> 00:21:37.119
G. campbell morgan, the great preacher of yesteryear,
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.554
Once said,
00:21:39.554 --> 00:21:40.822
"i never begin my work in the morning
00:21:40.822 --> 00:21:44.259
Without thinking that, perhaps,
00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:45.727
He may interrupt my work and begin his work.
00:21:45.727 --> 00:21:50.265
I am not looking for death, but i am looking for him."
00:21:50.265 --> 00:21:55.771
What about you?
00:21:56.138 --> 00:21:57.472
Are you living your life right now
00:21:58.206 --> 00:22:00.575
In anticipation of the coming of jesus christ?
00:22:01.476 --> 00:22:04.913
Do you think regularly about that day where,
00:22:04.913 --> 00:22:07.449
Either through the rapture or through your death,
00:22:07.449 --> 00:22:09.851
God is going to usher you into his presence?
00:22:09.851 --> 00:22:13.855
Are you living in a way
00:22:13.855 --> 00:22:15.190
Consistent with who your heavenly father is?
00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:18.093
How can you live an obedient, distinctive life
00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:22.964
When the world around us is so dark and corrupt?
00:22:22.964 --> 00:22:25.867
How do you do that?
00:22:25.867 --> 00:22:27.402
Our study of 1 corinthians, i believe,
00:22:28.170 --> 00:22:30.272

00:26:00.081 --> 00:26:01.249
Even fell away from the faith
00:26:01.249 --> 00:26:03.218
Because they were involved in a church fight
00:26:03.218 --> 00:26:05.787
Somewhere at some point.
00:26:05.787 --> 00:26:08.590
Nothing causes more damage
00:26:08.590 --> 00:26:11.026
To the reputation of jesus christ
00:26:11.026 --> 00:26:13.361
Than when his bride, the church, is brawling.
00:26:13.361 --> 00:26:17.632
[announcer] set your dvr and join us next time
00:26:17.632 --> 00:26:19.734
For the message "how to blow up a church"
00:26:19.734 --> 00:26:22.504
Here on "pathway to victory".
00:26:22.504 --> 00:26:27.609
Each of us will leave a legacy.
00:26:28.243 --> 00:26:30.979
What will your legacy be?
00:26:30.979 --> 00:26:33.415
Your legacy giving can further the gospel
00:26:33.415 --> 00:26:36.184
And be an example to your children
00:26:36.184 --> 00:26:38.520
About what matters most in life.
00:26:38.520 --> 00:26:41.089
The world my daughters and grandchildren are growing up in
00:26:41.089 --> 00:26:44.592
Is vastly different than the one you and i grew up in.
00:26:44.592 --> 00:26:48.263
The gospel of jesus christ is our only answer.
00:26:48.263 --> 00:26:52.434
And naming "pathway to victory"
00:26:52.434 --> 00:26:54.202
As a beneficiary in your will
00:26:54.202 --> 00:26:56.705
Helps guarantee that there will be a trusted ministry
00:26:56.705 --> 00:27:00.408
That will continue to be salt and light.
00:27:00.408 --> 00:27:03.511
Like the ripples that emanate
00:27:03.511 --> 00:27:05.313
From a rock thrown into a pond,
00:27:05.313 --> 00:27:07.649
Your influence for christ
00:27:07.649 --> 00:27:09.284
Can keep going on and on after you die
00:27:09.284 --> 00:27:12.821
With a gift in your will.
00:27:12.821 --> 00:27:14.723
What will your legacy be?
00:27:14.723 --> 00:27:17.425
Only one life will soon be passed.
00:27:17.425 --> 00:27:20.829
Only what's done for christ will last.
00:27:20.829 --> 00:27:20.829
