December 02, 2015Lessons on the Local Church, Part 19
Lesson 8, continued:
When a member insists upon having company with those who have been refused, what action is the local church to take?
Must admonish and admonish them (Titus 3:10).
If one still insists on having company with them, he too is walking disorderly; he is to be disciplined.
In the Old Testament, God also punished the ones who sympathized with the discord sowers (Numbers 16:41-49).
Conclusion: One cannot please the Lord if he refuses (or fails) to work with a local church in his locality. Let us be diligent servants of the Lord that we glorify God by doing individually that which He has thus assigned and doing in the local church that which He has thus assigned.

November 29, 2015Luke, Part 11
Luke 1:11-11:4
Luke 10:11-18 – Jesus expected those people who had heard the preaching and seen the miracles to believe and repent!
Luke 10:15 – See Luke 4:31-41. Jesus worked many miracles in Capernaum.
Luke 10:16 – These disciples were authoritative in their preaching because Jesus sent them.
Luke 10:17-20 – The disciples were to rejoice that their names were written in heaven.
Luke 10:18 – See Isaiah 14:12. In Isaiah, it is referring to the king of Babylon. “Falling from heaven” is a metaphor for falling from a place of power. The verse in Luke is not parallel to this verse. We do not have enough information to prove that Satan somehow fell from heaven. It could just be saying that when the disciples were casting out demons, Jesus could see that happening as though Satan was falling like lightning.
Luke 10:21-24 – Obeying God requires diligent work to seek out truth and obey it. God’s wisdom is often hidden from those of great intelligence.
Luke 10:25-37 – The parable of the good Samaritan. The lawyer tries to justify himself by asking who his neighbor is, but Jesus turns it around on him by telling him to be the neighbor to other people.
Luke 10:38-42 – Serving God must come first, even if other good works get pushed aside.
Luke 11:1-4 – The disciples saw Jesus praying and asked Him how they should pray. Jesus gives them an example of a good short prayer.
Luke 11:1 – See I Peter 2:12. We are to be examples of good behavior to others.

November 25, 2015Lessons on the Local Church, Part 18
The purpose of local church membership, continued:
Each member has equal obligation in these things with all other members, according to ability.
One member is as obligated to attend all assemblies as another.
One member is as obligated to give as prospered as another.
One member is as obligated to restore the erring as another.
In short, each member is to serve in the assigned things to the extent of his ability.
Who is really in the local fellowship?
Those who have joined the disciples in a locality (Acts 9:26).
Those who have partnership in the things of Christ with other disciples in the local church.
Negatively: Those who cease to function in the local fellowship are failing in their purpose; thus, if such will not repent and go to work, there is no reason to consider them members of the local church.
Local church to control its fellowship:
Local church membership is dependent on two things:
The desire of a member to work and worship with a specific group of saints.
The willingness of the local church to have a member in its fellowship (Acts 9:26).
The local church can refuse one membership (Acts 9:26)
The local church can remove one from its fellowship (I Corinthians 5:4-5)
The local church is to control and keep its fellowship pure (I Corinthians 5:4-7)
Action of members toward one who has been refused fellowship:
Can have no spiritual fellowship with him; he is in darkness (II Corinthians 6:14-18)
Can have no company, social concourse, with him (II Thessalonians 3:14; I Corinthians 5:11)
The faithful are to admonish him as a brother, i.e., as you would a brother (II Thessalonians 3:15)
