March 08, 2022 Rejoice, but Have no Confidence in the Flesh
Philippians 3:1-3 March 6, 2022 AM.
Paul commands the church to rejoice but beware of false teachers.
Check yourself out against verse 3 again. Make sure you have the
right focus, and your boasting is in the Lord and not in your own
fleshly accomplishments. Make sure that you are in fact serving
God. Are you wary of bad doctrine that would oppose the true
gospel (v. 2)? And finally (v. 1), are you rejoicing in the Lord no
matter what your circumstances might be?

March 08, 2022 Israel Obeyed Him, His Temple Rebuilt
Haggai 1:1-15 // Jeremiah 29:11-14 March 6, 2022 SS.
The Lord allowed the nation of Israel to be carried into captivity by the Babylonians. However, God did not abandon His people. He provided instructions on how to live during their captivity: commanded His people to bear fruit and multiply, and be peaceable among the Babylonians. In fact, God tells His people they will remain in captivity for seventy years, until that day when He brings them back to their homeland, Jeremiah 29:11-14. When His people return to Jerusalem, God instructs His people to rebuild His temple, so that He can be glorified and that His people can worship Him in His house. His people would obey and rebuild the Lord's temple.

March 08, 2022 Clean Hands and a Clean Heart, Part 3
Matthew 15:1-20 March 2, 2022 PM.
By the title of my message, “Clean Hands and a Clean
Heart,” I do not intend to convey that the Pharisees were
right about the ritual washing of hands but just fell short.
They missed the entire boat. Rather:
“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may
stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a
pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor
sworn deceitfully” (Psalm 24:3-4).
And: “That the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting” (1 Timothy 2:8).
Ritual washing of hands is not the issue. Hands that do not
practice sin is the issue. A heart first washed by the blood
of Christ to break the power of sin and allow the hands to
do righteousness instead of wickedness is what is
needed. You must have a clean heart to have clean
hands. The cleanliness of the hands is like in 1 Timothy
2:8 – a farmer with dirty hands out in his fields, but who
is a good Christian man, can lift those soiled hands to
God in prayer, and do so in complete fulfillment of this
Scripture.

March 01, 2022 Epaphroditus: A First-Rate Servant
Philippians 2:25-30 February 27, 2022 AM.
Interpreters often say that the book of Philippians is about joy, but
another good theme to observe is service to others. Consider the
teaching of 2:4-5 to all Christians. Consider the examples of Jesus
Christ (2:5-8); Paul (2:17, 22); Timothy (2:19-23); Epaphroditus
(2:25-30, 4:18); and the entire church (4:14-18). Do you think that
God is trying to tell us something?
The church works because of the service of its people. This service
models the love of Christ toward us as we love one another. This
service is not just for pastors or missionaries. It is for everyone.

March 01, 2022 Why Build a Temple
Haggai 1:1-11 February 27, 2022 SS.
We continue our study in the book of Haggai, led by James Widgeon. We address a question derived from the first eleven verses: Why build a temple? There are many different ways we might think about that question. Directly out of the text, notice in verses 7-8, God's own pleasure is for His people to build His temple, where He will be glorified in it. The other answer to this question is found in verses 9-11. Why? God has drawn His people to focus on Him, for His purpose, for His glory, for His sovereign plan.

February 22, 2022 Who are Disciples of Jesus?
Matthew 28:18-20 February 20, 2022 PM.
Matthew 28:18-20 tells us that we are to make disciples, baptize
them, and teach them to obey everything the Lord has
commanded. That is our central mission as a church.
But what exactly is our end product? What is a disciple? What does
one look like? Act like? Think like? How are we supposed to make
disciples if we are a bit fuzzy on what we are making? In today’s
evangelical landscape, this sometimes gets lost in the rush to “get
people to believe” or "make a profession of faith." Discipleship is
reduced to "belief" and "belief" is reduced to head-knowledge,
and true Christianity is emptied of reality.
We talk a lot about
believers but not so much about disciples and this is not good.
Discipleship roughly equals belief + transformation, and both are
produced by God. Transformation refers to the "new person" thing
that happens to someone when they trust in Christ. Their life
changes—from characterized by sin to characterized by
righteousness. The belief part of it refers to accepting that you
are a sinner, that Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins
and rose again, and that believing in Him you will have eternal life.
But if you have fact-belief only without transformation, that falls short of
true Christianity (even the demons believe, says James 2:19). That
half-baked type of "Christianity" is called easy-believism or free
grace theology.
On the other hand, if you claim to have a kind of transformation
apart from belief in Christ then all you have is moral reformation,
which rearranges a person's problems but does not ultimately solve the sin
issue.
In this message, we embark on a study of what the Scripture says
about disciples. These are the end products that we seek.
We ought not to think that we perfectly become such a thing
immediately after coming to Jesus. But we also ought not to think
that our lives look entirely different than this end product. Even a
new believer bears an unmistakable resemblance to what we will
see in the many verses we will visit.

February 22, 2022 Sincerely Caring for Others
Philippians 2:19-24 February 20, 2022 AM.
Perhaps you have some “I want to do ____” in your life. Can you
convert each one to an “I trust God that I will be able to do ____”?
First, is it something that you think fit with trust and God? Second,
are you willing to let God carry out His plan about that, even if it
does not match your plan? Third, if you are in a waiting-room type
of situation, are you willing to joyfully wait, like Paul, “to see how it
goes with me”? Fourth, if you are in an activity-required type of
situation, are you energetically pursuing what God wants you to do
while you wait for His disposition of the matter, pressing forward
despite some difficulties that may arise? If you are a Christian,
you are “in” the Lord—in Christ. This impacts everything you do
and how you think. Your hopes, trusts, desires, actions, everything
are influenced by this fact. What does “in Christ” mean? Think of
the opposites—in Adam, in the world, in the flesh, in sin.
Additionally, here are some applications to consider:
A. I am deciding whether to go to church today. In making this
decision, do I think about only myself, or do I think about all the
other people at the church and how I might be a blessing to them?
Do I focus on how they will be a potential detriment to me, or do I
overcome that by faith in Christ and consider if I genuinely care for
them in how I am making my decision?
B. I am deciding how to spend the family’s finances. Do I think of
others in the family, and outside of it, or just myself?
C. I am going to partake in some entertainment. Am I thinking of
others around me and their things, or just my own pleasure?
