Sermon 6-4-06 myths and the truth-communion 2 timothy 4:1-8
For marketers, 6-6-06 has also become an ideal date - to launch movies,records, books and other products or events, particularly those withreligious undertones.
From someone’s blog….they asked the question….what do you think…………
· I think it is A bunch of baloney.
· Isn’t that the day that the movie "The Omen" opens.
· My husband said that he thinks the world would end on this day. I laughed in his face
· I think that on that date the previous date will be known as yesterday.
· on that date I will rule the earth on that day and you shall all bow down before me.
· I think That the next day could be the 7th. And after that, the 8th.
· Actually, June 6 2006 = 662006 so it really doesn’t work
· We seemed to have made it thru: 6/6/1906 - 6/6/1806 - 6/6/1706 just fine.
False teaching
easily recognized in jim jones and david koresh
With the proliferation of churches, who watches for doctrine?
When someone gets off track ….who is to say?
Angels on the head of a pin
How are spirits created
Levels of heaven
Davinci Code
Anything that smacks of special knowledge
Claiming special revelation in a way that causes authority to come to a person instead of glory to God.
Huge arena for Speculative theology - the second coming
2nd coming charts
Hal Lindsey
Left behind series [it is one idea, the bible holds others]
Of that day and of that hour knows no man
Matthew 24:36[ The Day and Hour Unknown ] "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Matthew 24:50The master --- will come on a day when the servant does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
List of false prophecies
Relevant and obscure theology
Model your Christian life after Jesus……Jesus was relevant
If wisdom makes you relevant, then we should pursue it
If the pursuit of knowledge is an end in itself, it is not glorifying to God
To know that the fruit of the spirit is in Gal 5 is not impressive or needful
To learn to live the fruit of the spirit and apply them to life is glorious
Galatatians 1 No Other Gospel
6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! 10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ
so what is it all about……. It is not about knowing the latest tidbit
there is no new gospel
what is it about…..It is about accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
Letting the holy spirit make you sweeter
It is about learning to dispense grace
· Are you loving your family.. Your family doesn’t care how much you know, they want to know if Gods love is growing within your heart
· Do you apologize when you are wrong
· Are you gracious at the ball games
· When you become aware of a problem you have, do you seek to resolve it?
· Are you seeking to live an authentic life
· Are you learning to give yourself away in the name of Jesus
Conclusion
Cancer survivors
No fooling around……..no more games
What must I do to be saved.
The truth is simple………..
I call on you to choose him to follow him…..to let him work his work in your life.
