"Until He Comes"; Matthew 24:10-14; John 14:1-6

Matthew 24:13

1: He is going to come back again.
2: His children will live in Heaven with Him forever.

Now, why did Jesus tell us this Good News?
1) Because the disciples asked Him.
2) Because He loves us very much.
3) Because some will give in to pressure.

Pressures:
They are moral pressure.
They are Physical pressure.
They are mental pressure.
They are emotional pressure.

Jesus indentifies this pressure in 3 ways:
1) The price will be too high.
2) The talk will be too convincing.
3) Sin will be too enticing.

Jesus in Heart
1: Believe Jesus is the son of God.
2: Acknowledge sins and confess to God.
3: You must invite Jesus into your heart.
4: You must take God at His word (trust).

 b: Of the death of the body.

Why is death referred to as sleep?
1: Because of restfulness.
2: Because of peace
3: Because of conuing existance (consciousness)

James Strong, New Strong's dictionary of Hebrew and Greek words [computer file], electronic ed., Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1996.

Romans 8:6

1) Grief is common to all people
2) Grief is not inconsistent with the will of God.
3) Grief is not a denial of the hope that all Christians have in Christ.

John 11:35
Phillipians 2:27

1) Because it saves us from every kind of grief.
2) Helps us to understand our own grief.
3) Eliminates any fear of the unknown.
4) Because it gives us hope beyond the grave.
5) Because it provides us with a great expectation.
6) Because it gives us a means to encourage everyone.

Dr. Wilton spoke of not always wanting to go Church every morning; he also said "Aren't you glad you came to church today?" There is at least one person who chose to do something good (recreational) today. God says "I'm going to encourage you with my words." 11:58

Questions for the Pastor

How do you test the spirit? Glorification of the spirit of Jesus. Discernment between what is of God or Satan? If the end results glorify God. Temptation draws away from God.

1 Corinthians 12:1-7
Dr. Wilton

Jesus is Lord
 1 Corinthians 1:9
  1: As friend
  2: As savior
  3: As lord

1 Corinthians Summary
 1: Chapter 1:1-9 Introduction
 2: Chapter 1:9-11:34 Carnal issues
 3: Chapter 12-15 Spiritual issues
  1: Chapter 12 Gifts of the spirit
  2: Chapter 13 Fruit of the spirit
  3: Chapter 14 Order of the spirit
  4: Chapter 15 Glory of the spirit
  
Discussion of gifts causes the most divisions, interest, and excitement (this includes tongues).
Listen to questions being asked.
1: How can you tell if a gift is a spiritual gift?
2: If a gift is used in the church, how can you trace it's spirit?
3: Some say you are not filled with the spirit if you don't speak in tongues.
How?
 1: Understand and recongize the power of paganism. Paganism was a former form of worship.
  1: Every pagan religiion includes the issue of tongues.
  2: Recognize counterfeits. Counterfit gifts in the church.
 2: Test the work of the spirit (1 Coritinthian 12:3)
  1: Negative test. Infiltration on the Gnostics. Gnostics believed:
   1: Everything physical was evil.
   2: Jesus only appeared to be human.
   3: You could glofiy Jesus as divine.
   4: You must curse Jesus as human (Dueteronomy 21:22-23).
   5: The resurrection was impossible.
The work of the Holy Spirit is to ascribe lordship to Jesus Christ.

q1: If the Spirit, Christ, and God are one, and the Jews do believe in God, why are the Jews not saved?
a1: Refusal to believe in Jesus as the Messiah.

q2a: Is it possible to suffer from depression and still be a Christian?
a2a: Flesh vs. Spirit; Spirit = Soul. Satan attacks flesh.
q2b: Is mental issue demon possession?
a2b: Demonic demonstrations, behaviour in relation to God.

a4: U.S. is in opposition to Gog and Magog.

q5: If love always trust, how can you love someone who isn't trustworthy?
a5; Not possible outside of God's grace.

q6: What should you say to a pastor who says that Muslims and Christians worship the same God?
a6: Same as a1; God is the Father of Jesus.

q7: Matthew 12:43&45. Does this affect Christians? Can demons touch Christians if they slide backward into sin?
a7: Only one devil. Satan is singular, ultimately expressed as the beast of revelation. Demons (Legions) are the soldiers of Satan. Satan = Beelzebub = Lord of the Flies = Accusser. Demons can only touch Christians through the flash. Only if the Christian allows it. Christians can invite sin into their life (Ephesians 6:10-13)

q8: What scripture supports once saved, always saved?

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

1 Corinthians 11:27-28
27 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.

1 John 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Q: Demon possession review - Differencne between oppression vs. possession.
A: A Christian can not be demon possessed because of the Holy Spirit. One Satan with legions of demons; God has legions of Angels. Body vs. Spiritual Soul. Darkness can not occupylight. Satan can attack body parts, and sinners invite attack.

Q: Natural talent vs. Spiritual Gifts review.
A: Gifts are given to all God's children to bring glory to God. The strength of the local church is in direct proportion to the members and the utilization of their spiritual gifts. The corrolary is true. Do you know what your gifts are? Are you using them?

Q: I am a Christian and I've done some really bad things. How do I cease feeling fuilty?
A: Absolute forgiveness; consequences.

Q: Explain Genesis 6:14 and when did the dinosaurs fit into the timeline?

After the fall of rebellious under Lucifer the Angels in heaven:

The Fellowship of Encouragement
 
Welcome to The Encouraging Word!
Dr. Wilton continues his series THE SUPERIORITY OF JESUS CHRIST. His most recent message notes are listed below!

Here you'll find the pastor's sermon outline for Sunday, November 3, 2002.
(if you missed last week's outline click the "last week" link to the left!)

Topic: Why Pick On The Angels? pt.2
Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-14

 BECAUSE OF HIS NAME

A.      Consider the Angels
   1.   Angels are created by God
   2.   Angels are not related to God

No wonder the 2-fold question:
a) "Did I ever call you Son?"
b) "Did I ever say I was your Father?"

B. Consider the Son
1. He was called Son because of His incarnation
2. He was seated as Son because of His exaltation

His Sonship helps understand 3 things:
1- Jesus' relationship with the Father
2- Jesus' willing submission to the Father for the sake of man
3- Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross as an historical fact of love from the Father

How was Jesus' Sonship established?
1) Through the virgin birth
2) Through Jesus' ressurection

BECAUSE OF HIS WORSHIP
1. Prior to Jesus' incarnation the Angels worshiped Him as God
2. At the time of Jesus' birth the Angels worshiped Him as the Savior of the world
3. After Jesus' resurrection the Angels worshiped Him as Lord
4. Following Jesus' exaltation the Angels worshiped Jim as King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Why?
Because Jesus is God's first-born = position!!!

This means:
a. Jesus has jurisdiction over the world
b. Jesus has jurisdiction over the church

Dr. Wilton will complete this message next week with part 3 of
"Why pick on Angels?"

Questions For The Pastor

Q: Is it possible to change God's mind with prayer? It appears Moses, Hezekial, and others did.
A: It appears so; prayer by intercession; gift to plead to God by man on behalf of man. Genesis 18, Isaiah 38:1-5, Effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man?

Q: How would we know if we encounter an angel in our everyday life?
A: Hebrews 13; no way to know.

Q: Can a person accept Christ and feel no change in his life, but feel he is going to hell? What can the person do to feel he has been saved?
A: No repentence, no salvation. Lawlessness Jesus has no love of. That person needs to consider his or her slavation.

Q: Do agels have wings?
A: No scriptural support for or against.

Q: Once saved, always saved?
A: Yes, you can not be plucked out of God's hand. Romans 8:1. "Union"; greek, seals, deposits. Backsliding has a time limit.

Q: Age of people in the old testament; was it sin that shortened their lives? Has disease and impurity of the gene pool contributed?
A: No scriptural support, according to Dr. Wilton; disease is a consequence of sin.

Q: What are the three heavens?
A: According to commentators, 3rd heaven is God, 2nd heaven is spatial heaven (infinite); everwhere, 1st heaven is earth

Q: Please explain why nearly all nations hate the Jews?
A: Isaac and Ishmael; emnity.

Q: What is the reason the Jesws did not recognize Jesus as the messaih?
A: Refused to accept Jsus; disbelief.

Q: Why is it important to become a member of a church?
A: 1: Fellowship; 2: Bible study; 3: Ministry; 4: Obedience (Jesus said "do not fosake the assembly of yourselves together??) I think that's Hebrews 10:25; 5: For encouraging others, it's not what you get, it's what you give, 6: For the children.

Topic: FIXING THOUGHTS ON JESUS AT CHRISTMAS
Scripture: Hebrews 3:1

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
   1) Pay attention
   2) Observe continuously
   3) Avoid interruption

WHY?
   a) Because there were some who pretended He was never born
   b) Because there were some who wanted Him eliminated
   c) Because there were some who, thoough they believed, had no room for Him in their in
   d) Because there are some who wanted to pay homage to Him but couldn't find Him
   e) Because theyre were some who had heard about Him but just couldn't figure it all out
   f) Because there were some who had been changed forever by Him!


Now, what qualifies Jesus for this individed attention?
   1. His relationship with the Father
   2. His submission to the Father
   3. His willingness to be born of a woman
   4. His sacrifice on behalf of man
   5. His seat at the Right Hand of God

The writer wants us to fix our thoughts on two things with regard to this Jesus:
   I. He is The Apostle
     a. Hs is the sent-one
     b. He is the appointed one
     c. He is the annointed one

As such Jesus:
   a. Represents the One who sent Him
   b. Carries the authority of the One who sent Him
   c. Speaks in behalf of the One who sent Him

   II. He is the High Priest
     a. He is the selected One
     b. He is the sacrificed One
     c. He is the saving One
     d. He is the sanctifying One
