SERMON ON DISCIPLINE

INTRODUCTION: Read 2 Thessalonians 3:6

1. This passage deals with a specific problem in the Thessalonian church.

2. There were brethren who refused to work for their own living, 2 Thessalonians 3:11

These principles are: 1) The Principle of Grace–God gives to His creation; 2) The Principle of Gratitude–We should give from a thankful heart; 3) The Principle of Generosity–We must first give of ourselves; 4) The Principle of Egression–If we fail to give, we will lose what we already have.

OBJECTIVE: Each hearer should be able to state these basic principles of giving and how they relate to their life and worship.

AIM: I hope to encourage the brethren to examine their own giving and see if they can enhance their worship of God by giving Him more from their life.

INTRODUCTION:

INTRODUCTION: Read Acts 4:36.

1. Apostles naming of Barnabas shows the importance of encouragement.

2. How can we encourage one another like Barnabas?

INTRODUCTION: 1. Modern-day revelations are rampant in the religious world. Angels, Holy Spirit, nudgings, still small voice. 2. These “revelations” are trusted by those who “received” them but rejected by most others. Divisive, contradicting, often confusing or vague. 3. Shall we believe modern-day revelations? Can we remove the division, contradictions, and know precisely what the […]

Introduction:

1. The religious world around us has arranged itself into denominations (distinct parts of the whole).

2. Originally there were a few (Lutheran, Church of England, Presbyterian, Catholic, etc.). Now there are more than a thousand.

3. We must comment on this situation because this idea is nowhere found in the doctrine of Christ. Denominations have no right to exist because they are not found in scripture.

4. The will of Christ is ONE CHURCH, BODY, KINGDOM. (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:4; John 3:5)

5. The denominations argue that the totality of the denominations is the one church.

1) The New Testament, however, fails to use the word “church” in that sense.

2) There is the “church universal” (Matthew 16:18) and “church local” (Romans 16:16).
