Dillon with Jesus

Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is the worshipful tradition instituted by Christ. When we gather as a church, we eat bread to remember His flesh, that was broken for us. We drink the fruit of the vine to remember His blood, that was poured out for us. We remember Jesus, dying upon the cross, we proclaim His death, and we look forward to His return. In Corinthians 11, Paul warns us not to do this in an unworthy manner. I explore what that meant, and what it means for us today.

As we conclude season 1, which is our foundational teachings of Christ, I want to introduce myself. In this episode I share my testimony, and reasons for sharing the gospel through this platform. I look forward to season 2, and preview some topics concerning the church, which is the body of Christ. I preemptively strike those who would slander the church, because the church is also called the bride of Christ. We must love the church, if we love Jesus. This means forgiving one another, building up one another, and loving one another, just as Jesus has done for us…

Jesus gives us His example, being baptized by John in the Jordan river. He gives us His command, in Matthew 28:19, to make disciples, and baptize them. He gives us the gospel, His death, burial, and resurrection, and we symbolize our relationship with Him in Baptism. In repentence, we die to ourselves, and are buried with Himnin baptism. Then scripture says we are raised to walk in newness of life, just as He was raised from the dead. Baptism doesn’t save us, but it tells the world that we have been saved, and are identifying with Christ, confessing Him before men. Every believer should be baptized, soon after conversion, and every church should celebrate that sacred moment in the life of a believer. What prevents you from being baptized?

Maturity. In our faith it means that we have grown up in Christ, and we resemble Him in our spirit, actions, and attitude. It is easy to see the marks of immaturity. Those who are critical, and complaining. Those who abuse their authority. Those who are easily deceived by false teachings. However, rather than focusing on immaturity, we are all better off to tune our hearts to Jesus, looking at His perfect example. He operated in love, not fear. He forgave, and served in humility. Knowing His teaching will help us discern false teachers. Knowing His heart will help us love our brothers and sisters, as we all seek to become mature followers of the only perfect person to ever live. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, we will also grow in the unity of the church body of Christ.

Repentance and Faith, two sides of the same coin! As Sproul says, repentance will always involve faith, and faith will always involve repentance! The prophets , John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, Paul, and  John (the disciple Jesus loved) all taught repentance! The question is, why are so many pastors and preachers avoiding the subject? It is the kindness of God that leads us to Repentance. It our response to the gospel, and it is our response to the Word and Spirit of God who is making us more like Jesus.

Confession is our response to the gospel. We repent, and believe the good news, confessing that we are sinful, but Jesus is sinless. We confess Him before men, so that He will confess us before His Father! We proclaim our belief in the death, burial, and resurrection. We proclaim that He is our King, and Savior, and that we submit to His authority, and put our entire hope in His power to save. This confession is prompted by the Word of God, and the Spirit of God, from our heart, to our mouth, to our Heavenly Father. Have you confessed Him as Lord? If you believe in your heart, and confess with your mouth that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved!(Romans 10)

The sword of the Spirit, is necessary to battle the temptations we face from the devil. Our devotion to meditate upon the Word of God, helps us hear His voice in a loud and busy world. As we rightly divide the Word, we can discern false teachings. We can use our Bible knowledge to teach, building up the church and equipping them to do the work God has called us to do! We must avoid petty disagreements, but also stand firm upon the word of, because it is inspired, inerrant, and true!

Lord, liar, or lunatic? CS Lewis has pointed out those are the choices, when it comes to Jesus. This study of John 5, has the battle between dead religion, and Jesus. Healing on the sabbath, and claiming to be the Son of God, were the crimes that Jesus was ultimately crucified for. He arose the third day, proving His claim of divinity, and changing the world forever! Now he wants to change your heart, by revealing Himself as your risen savior. Will you receive Him, or reject Him?

In this session, we see the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit of Truth. He brings life, as He testifies of Christ, convicts us of sin, and walks with us so we are never alone. We are not orphans, but sons of God who are led by the Spirit of Christ. His Spirit, testifies with our spirit, that we are His children. He is our advocate, and our source of strength. He prays for us, when we do not know how, or what to pray, and he always leads us to cry out, Abba, Father!

We were not only saved, but made sons by adoption! Though many have reduced salvation to a transaction of debts being paid, the clear teaching of scripture is that His great mercy and forgiveness of our sin; this was so that we might be adopted by our Heavenly Father. As Jesus brings many sons to glory, we can know it is because the Father loves us, and the Spirit he has given us cries out to Him, Abba! Father!
