    The Comprehensive Obligation of Love, Wednesday September 30th, 2026

    The Comprehensive Obligation of Love Romans 13:8-14 John 13:34-35 “We don’t take the gifts and spend them on feasts, drinking-bouts, or fancy restaurants. Instead, we use them to support and bury poor people, to supply the needs of boys and girls who have no means and no parents. We support the elderly now confined to their homes. We also help those who have suffered shipwreck. And if there happen to be any in the mines, or banished to the islands, or shut up in the prisons—for nothing but their fidelity to the cause of God’s Church—they then become the nurslings of the confession they hold [as we take them in to help them]. Primarily it is the acts of love that are so noble that lead many to put a brand on us. ‘See,’ they say, ‘how they love one another…’” (Tertullian, Apology, chapter 39). Romans 13:8-10 I. The Call to Ongoing Horizontal Love Matthew 22:37-40 Romans 13:11-12a II. The Urgent Call to Ongoing Horizontal Love · Maintain a balanced view of ourselves (12:3) · Utilize our gifts for the good of the body (12:4-8) · Outdo other Christians in showing honor to one another (12:9-16) · Return good for evil and leave room for God to convict and redeem others (12:17-21) · Meet all our obligations to government officials and give them the respect they are due (13:1-7) Romans 13:12-14 III. The Specifics of the Call to Ongoing Horizontal Love 1. Children of light should not be characterized by revelry and drunkenness emphasizing self-indulgence. 2. Children of light should not be characterized by lewdness and lust emphasizing sexual misconduct. 3. Children of light should not be characterized by strife and envy emphasizing contention and quarreling. Romans 13:14 Galatians 3:27 1 John 4:19 “Assuredly this confederacy should be rooted out and execrated for they know one another by secret marks and signs and they love one another almost before they know one another. Promiscuously they call one another brother and sister.” 1. Let us cultivate a sense of debt. 2. Let us enlarge our definition of neighbor. 3. Let us cultivate a sense of the time. 4. Let us consciously put off the works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ every day.

    I Am the Gate, Sunday, Sep 27th, 2026

    I Am the Gate Outline John 10:1-10 Key Verse: John 10:9 says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” · The Importance of the Gate · The Context of John 10 “The true Shepherd comes through the door because He has rightful authority and loving purpose. The thief climbs another way because he has no rightful claim and comes to exploit the sheep. Jesus comes openly as the One sent by the Father—not to steal, kill, or destroy, but to save His people and give them abundant life.”-J Vernon McGee · The Culture of that Time and the Sheepfold I. Jesus is the Gate to Salvation John 10:9 says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved.” · Jesus is the Exclusive Gate John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” · Salvation is by Grace through Faith Ephesians 2: 8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” II. Jesus is the Gate to Security and Protection John 10:9 continues, “...and will go in and out and find pasture.” · The Shepard knows His Sheep John 10:3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hears his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. · Jesus Protects His Sheep John 10:28, “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.” Romans 8: 38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. · Jesus provides Freedom John 10:9 says His sheep will “go in and out.” III. Jesus is the Gate to the Abundant Life John 10:10 says, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” · The Thief Steals · The Thief Kills · Thief Detroys · Jesus Gives Life · The Abundant Life is not Materialism · Jesus gives New Life Four Applications 1. You must go through the Gate. 2. Those who enter the Gate will recognize the Shepherd's voice 3. Don't climb the fence when Jesus has provided the Gate. 4. Live the abundant life Jesus offers.
