WHAT KIND OF
CHURCH
MEMBER ARE
YOU?
DOMINION CHRISTIAN CENTER
OCTOBER 11, 2015
HEBREWS 10:23-25
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.
THE INVISIBLE CHURCH…
EACH PERSON IS THE CHURCH, AND
NOT THE BUILDING…
Other than to receive
training and blessings from
church attendance you can
see that you are to attend
to give as well.
WE ARE ALSO TO EXHORT ONE
ANOTHER AS WE SEE THE DAY
APPROACHING
GOD HELP US WHEN OUR DESIRE TO BE IN HIS WORD IS
DIMINISHED TO THE POINT WHERE WE WANT TO MISS CHURCH AND FELLOWSHIP
WITH THE SAINTS.
Most often, it is carnal
preferences and man-made
divisions keeping the Body of
Christ from being one.
“ I HAVE BEEN HURT BY CHURCH”
The Pharisees were the
hardliners. They knew the rules
because they had made the rules
and you better not break any of
their rules.
THE GREAT PHYSICIAN RUNS THE
CHURCH/HOSPITAL AND HURTING PEOPLE COME
TO HIM AND IT!
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a
fortified tower; the righteous
run to it and are safe.
The Sadducees were the
heretics of the day. These
fellows just shrunk God to a
level they could control or
endure.
2 TIMOTHY 2:5HAVING A FORM OF
GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF: FROM
SUCH TURN AWAY.
Luke 4:33-37 KJV
33 And in the synagogue there
was a man, which had a spirit of
an unclean devil, and cried out
with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have
we to do with thee, thou Jesus of
Nazareth? art thou come to destroy
us? I know thee who thou art; the
Holy One of God.
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
Hold thy peace, and come out of
him. And when the devil had
thrown him in the midst, he came
out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed,
and spake among themselves,
saying, What a word is this! For
with authority and power he
commandeth the unclean spirits,
and they come out.
37 And the fame of him
went out into every
place of the country
round about.
We need to become
skilled in spiritual
warfare so that people
can be made free.
Through the power of Jesus
name, we can cast out
demons and lay hands upon
the sick and watch them be
healed.
If God's people get wise and do
battle, the heinous (Satan) will
leave or be thwarted in any plans
that they have to hurt people and
the mission of the Church.
SO WHAT’S
YOUR
EXCUSE?
Jesus did not use any. He
had to deal with the
hardliners, the hypocrites,
the heretics and the
heinous.
WHAT MAKES
YOU BETTER
THAN HIM?
JAMES 4:17 IF YOU KNOW TO DO GOOD, AND DON'T DO IT, THEN IT IS SIN
SO WHAT KIND
OF CHURCH
MEMBER ARE
YOU?
