Today our hosts discuss the greatest commandment in Mark 12:28-30. For the second segment the hosts present their opinion of the greatest love songs of all time. And for the final segment, we discuss 25 ways to be a servant leader by Robert Lewis.

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

Thank you for listening.

The post Greatest Commandment, Love Songs, and 25 ways to be a servant leader appeared first on Bethel Baptist Church.

1. The Possession and The Command
“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV


“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ”
Ephesians 5:18-21 NIV

2. The sacrifice

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 NIV

3. The practice/discipline

“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. ”
Romans 10:17 NIV

“for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.”
1 John 5:4-8 NIV

Review:
We have been possessed with the Spirit, therefore, the Spirit filled life is available.

We have been commanded to walk in the Spirit, therefore, the Spirit filled life is obedience.

We have been freed from our flesh, therefore, sacrificial living is achievable.

We have been given our faith that is fed by the word, therefore, daily intake of the word makes the Spirit filled life probable.

Today our hosts Tara Yerkey, Ben Kingston, Gavin Hooks, and Thomas Naes these topics:

1. Prepper vs faith from the Bible perspective
2. What do we owe our leaders? An in-depth look at the verse Romans 13:1-7

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”

3. An in-depth look at the love chapter 1 Corinthians 13.
