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).

INTRODUCTION:

1. Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-10

Introduction:

1. Do you have any idea why you have a problem with a particular sin in your life?

1) We say, “It’s hard to deal with sin!”

2) Perhaps we should stop and examine why it’s hard.

2. If an enemy wants to stop your progress he will often spread lies about you to do it.

1) To poison public opinion.

2) To cause you to doubt yourself.

3. Our enemy uses the same tactic to stop your progress.

4. He is so clever that often he gets YOU to tell the lies to yourself. It’s easy because he knows what you want to hear.

5. We must recognize the lies for what they are in order to make progress once again. We must stop telling them.James 4:7

God is In Control Sermon. Sermon outline by G. E. Watkins on God being in control.

INTRODUCTION:

1. “O Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 96:9)

1) This ability is what we are endeavoring to produce in each one of us in this series of studies.

2) We want to develop in every one of us a deeper appreciation for worship – for true worship.

2. In our last lesson we set out to define and describe true worship. True worship:

1) Ascribes worth to God – “worship” = worthship.

2) Is to be done in reverence.

3) Arises from the heart overflowing with gratitude.

4) Is reinforced with godly living.

5) Involves the entire person.

3. True worship, as seen in the fragrance prepared for the worship of God in Old Testament times and noted in our last lesson (Exodus 30:34-38), is reserved for God alone – thus, true worship is to be unique.
