Bible Passage (KJV): John 18:1-23

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

12 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,

13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

14 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

16 But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

17 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

18 And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

Series Outline

Session 1: Pervasiveness of Progressive Christianity

Session 2: Potpourri within Progressive Christianity

Session 3: Preventing the Infiltration of Progressive Christianity

Today’s Session – Pervasiveness of Progressive Christianity

I. What Is Progressive Christianity?

II. How Pervasive is Progressive Christianity?

III. How does Progressive Christianity Destroy the Faith?

(I) WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY?

A. Brief on Progressive Christianity

A.1. “Progressive Christianity is tough to define, because there isn’t a creed or list of beliefs that progressive Christians officially unite around. However, progressive Christians tend to reject the historic biblical understanding of marriage and sexuality, and generally deny or redefine doctrines such as the atonement and biblical authority.”

B. Key Ideas

B.1. Moving from conservative and traditional Christianity to progressive Christianity

B.2. To love God and neighbor, which means committing our lives for the liberation, inclusion and dignity of all who are God’s beloved children.

B.2.1. “Rather than focusing on exclusion, judging, and damning, progressive Christians reclaim our original values of inclusion, grace, acceptance, and unconditional love. In reality, it is progressive Christianity that is conservative — conserving what made Christianity such a beautiful gift to the world in the first place.” Progressive and emergent Christianities are trees that have been growing parallel to each other — largely without much awareness or inter-action. It may be fair to say that progressive Christians are more unanimously pro-LGBTQ 1

B.3. Some terms/concepts describing Progressive Christianity

B.3.1. Searching and on a journey

B.3.2. Progress, change, growth, dynamic

B.3.3. Non judgmental, open minded

B.3.4. Love, justice

B.3.5. Integrate/ Inclusive love/ Welcoming/ Accepting of (LGBTs, movements, ideas)

B.3.6. Participatory

B.3.7. God loves me and you and everybody exactly as they are, unconditionally

B.3.8. Reclaiming, restoring Christianity, Intelligent approach to the Christian tradition

Bible Passage (KJV): 2 Timothy 4:1-4

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;

reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

God Defends His Own Glory (1 Samuel 5:6-12)

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 5:6-12

6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof. 

7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon

our god. 

8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered,

Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. 

9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city,

both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. 

10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought

about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. 

11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it

slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 

12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

CHAPTER XVII OF THE PRESEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS

1. THEY whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.1

1. Phil. 1:6; II Pet. 1:10; John 10:28-29; I John 3:9; I Pet. 1:5,9

2. This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father;2 upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ;3 the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them;4 and the nature of the covenant of grace,5 from all which ariseth also the certainty and infallibility thereof.6

2. II Tim. 2:18-19; Jer. 31:3

3. Heb. 10:10,14; Heb. 13:20-21; Heb. 9:12-15; Rom. 8:33-39; John 17:11,24; Luke 22:32; Heb. 7:25

4. John 14:16-17; I John 2:27; I John 3:9

5. Jer. 32:40

6. John 10:28; II Thess. 3:3; I John 2:19

3. Nevertheless they may, through the temptations of Satan and of the world, the prevalency of corruption remaining in them, and the neglect of the means of their preservation, fall into grievous sins;7 and for a time continue therein;8 whereby they incur God’s displeasure,9 and grieve his Holy Spirit;10 come to be deprived of some measure of their graces and comforts;11 have their hearts hardened,12 and their consciences wounded;13 hurt and scandalize others,14 and bring temporal judgments upon themselves.15

7. Matt. 26:70,72,74

8. Ps. 51[The Title]; Ps. 51:14

9. Isa. 64:5,7,9; II Sam. 11:27

10. Eph. 4:30

11. Ps. 51:8,10,12; Rev. 2:4; S. of Sol. 5:2-4,6

12. Isa. 63:17; Mark 6:52; Mark 16:14

13. Ps. 32:3-4; Ps. 51:8
