    The Radical Heart of Christ - Part 3

    Our Christian maturity—that is, our growth in Christlikeness—is cultivated as we come to know the heart of Christ, and it is revealed in the way we relate to others, especially in how we view and respond to their sins, failures, and offenses. This sermon unfolds how Christ deals with us in our weakness and failure, and how, in turn, we are called to deal with one another in love, patience, mercy, and truth.

    1 Timothy 4:11-16 + PDF Discussion Guide NTRF.org

    When two rams butt heads, little lambs get trampled. Doctrinal controversies within a church are always taxing. Such are times that try men's souls. Those with a weak conscience are often offended and discouraged. Those caught in the cross fire say things like, "What does it really matter, anyway? Can't we all just get along? Doctrine divides, but Christ unites. I don't ask them about their, beliefs, and they don't ask me about mine." Today, we'll continue to see why the price paid to safe guard orthodoxy is, in the long run, worth the high cost.

    1 Timothy 4:6-10 + PDF Discussion Guide

    This paragraph has application primarily for church leaders. What is that application? Church leaders must: • Warn the brothers about deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons • Have nothing to do with myths • Must themselves be trained in the words of faith and good doctrine. • Toil and strive for the gospel, as God is potentially the Savior of all people. What is the application here for Christian in general? • All believers must beware of irreverent, silly, religious myths (they're all around us!). • Listen to your leaders when they warn of bad doctrine/practice. • Remember that bodily training is of some benefit, but training in godliness is far more valuable. You will not succeed spiritually if you do not adopt spiritual disciplines. Where are your priorities? • Live life in light of eternity. George Whitefield spoke of seeing criminals riding in a cart on their way to the gallows, arguing like a bunch of kids about who should sit on the right hand of the cart. Here were men condemned to die that very day, but their focus was on who got the best seat on the way to the execution! The Bible is clear that as members of the fallen human race, we're all in that cart, on the way to the gallows. We'd better be preparing for what lies beyond. • Toil and strive to effectively introduce the gospel to your children (the next generation). If you drop the ball, it will be a curse to them.

    The Radical Heart of Christ - Part 2

    Some of the deepest wounds believers carry were not inflicted by the world; they were inflicted by the church. This happens because we are more judgmental and critical of one another's failures, rather than empathetic and helpful. I have been both a victim and a culprit of these wounds. This sermon examines how Jesus deals with His own people in their weakness, failure, and sin — and calls us to do the same for one another.

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 + PDF Discussion Guide

    A major source of bad doctrine is demons! W are engaged in spiritual warfare. The ancient Egyptians who built the pyramids were just a few hundred years removed from Noah's flood, yet they had already departed wholesale into polygamy, and the doctrine of demons. Demonic influence is still happening today: NIV Ephesians 6:12 … our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. NIV 2 Corinthians 11:3 … I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
