We are thrilled to welcome special guest, Stephen Carson, who will be preaching God's Word today.Todays message is, "The Motivation of Missions," from Philippians 2:5-8Key Question: What should be our primary motivation for missions?Condescension #1: “He did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped:” (v6)Condescension #2: “He emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men." (v7)Condescension #3: “He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death.” (v8) Condescension #4: "Even death on a cross." (v8)  The exaltation of Jesus (v9-11) The why of missions: Because God is worthy of all glory!

Today we are observing the Lord's Supper together and Bro. Derrick will be preaching from Revelation 7:9-10.

Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, EphesiansRomans ·      Written by Paul before he ever visited Rome. ·      Written to generate support for his desire to carry the Gospel to Spain. ·      Written as a more detailed (more detailed than Galatians) explanation of the gospel and of his theology·      Texts to Consider: Rom 1:8–17; Rom 3:21–26; Rom 15:17–291 Corinthians·      Written by Paul from Ephesus after he had visited Corinth.·      Written to correct and rebuke the Corinthians over division, toleration of sin, eating food sacrificed to idols, abuse of the Lords Supper, asking for financial support for church in Jerusalem, and other factors.·      Texts to Consider: 1 Cor 1:10–31; 1 Cor 13:1–132 Corinthians·      Written by Paul following the reception of his first letter and a “painful visit.” ·      Written to defend his own ministry in light of the disparagement from the Corinthians and the “Super-Apostles”·      Written to press the importance of completing the offering for the hurting church in Jerusalem·      Texts to Consider: 2 Cor 2:1–4; 2 Cor 2:12–3:3; 2 Cor 10:7–18; 2 Cor 11:4–6Galatians·      Written by Paul after his first missionary journey, but before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) in 48 AD. This, if accurate, would make Galatians Paul's earliest letter.·      Written to rebuke the Galatian churches (probably the churches of Lystra, Derbe, etc.) for their forsaking the true gospel of justification by faith alone in Christ alone to try to live out the faith by adherence to the law. ·      Paul's shared some details of his first meetings with Peter and James. He makes the point strongly that the gospel that saved them is the same gospel that kept them saved.·      Texts to Consider: Gal 1:6–10; Gal 2:15–3:6Ephesians·      Written by Paul from Roman imprisonment (the one described at the end of Acts) in 60–62 AD. Along with Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon called the Prison Epistles.·      Possibly a circular letter, meaning it went to more than just one church or one region. Some manuscripts don't include “in Ephesus” (Eph 1:1), and this book does not have many personal references. ·      Written to encourage believers to remember who they are positionally in Christ, and live that out practically in a broken world.·      Texts to Consider: Eph 1:19–2:10; Eph 2:11–22; 4:1–7; Eph 4:22–5:2; Eph 5:31–33

LIFE & LETTERS OF PAULConversion of Saul/PaulActs 7:54-8:3 - First mentions of Saul/Paul and his activity in JerusalemActs 9:1-31 - Saul/Paul's conversion and early ministryPaul's Commissioning and 1st Missionary JourneyActs 12:25-13:3 - Setting apart by the church at Antioch, sent out with Barnabas for 1st missionary journeyPaul's Trip to Jerusalem for the Jerusalem Council (c.48-49 AD)Acts 15 - Paul and Barnabas go to Jerusalem for the Jerusalem Council, then go back to Antioch. They split up over John Mark, who had left them in Pamphylia. Paul chose Silas and embarked on his 2nd missionary journey. Paul's 2nd Missionary JourneyActs 16-18 - Paul and Silas encounter Timothy and Luke (implied) and eventually travel to Macedonia (Philippi, Thessaloniki, Berea) and Achaia (Athens and Corinth). Paul stayed in Corinth for 1.5 years (Acts 18:11). Acts 18:18 - Paul encounters Priscilla and Aquila and leaves them in Ephesus before returning back to Antioch. Apollos begins preaching there, is taught more completely by Priscilla and Aquila, and sent to Corinth. Paul's 3rd Missionary JourneyActs 19-29 - Paul returns to Ephesus as part of his 3rd missionary journey. According to Acts 19:8-10 and Acts 20:31, Paul probably remained in Ephesus for close to 3 years. Paul's Arrest in Jerusalem, Holding in Caesarea, and Voyage to RomeActs 21-28 - Paul goes to Jerusalem and is arrested. For the remaining chapters in Acts, the Jews in Jerusalem seek to kill Paul but he remains in Roman custody. He appears before Felix (Roman governor of Judea). Festus (Roman governor of Judea who succeeded Felix in office), and Jewish dignitaries Agrippa and Bernice. All of this took place over a period of more than two years in Caesarea. In all of this, Paul utilized his Roman citizenship and appealed to Caesar. Thus, he would be given the opportunity to travel to Rome and appeal his case to Caesar. The latter chapters of Acts focus on Paul's journey through shipwreck to Rome. Possible chronological listing of Paul's letters and suggested date of writing Galatians - c.48 AD (before the Jerusalem Council)1 and 2 Thessalonians - c.51 AD (after the and missionary journey and meeting back up with Silas and Timothy, Paul mentions Timothy's encouraging report in 1 Thessalonians)1 and 2 Corinthians - c.56-57 (after arrest in Jerusalem)Romans - c.58-59 AD (while imprisoned in Caesarea, before he had ever gone to Rome)Philippians, Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians - c.60-62 AD (while imprisoned in Rome)1 Timothy, Titus, 2 Timothy - c.63-67 AD (after Paul was released from prison, to traveled possibly to Spain, arrested again)Paul was martyred at the hands of Nero's persecution in c.66-67 AD

LUKE PART 2Main Point: Luke, an educated Gentile historian, chose to write an orderly account of the story of the life of Jesus the MessiahFrom last time...- Luke most likely joined up with Paul in Acts 16 during Paul's second missionary journey.- Luke wrote to a Gentile named Theophilus ("lover of God") who was likely a patron who financially supported Luke's work as a theological historian.- Luke utilized sources (Mark? Matthew? Q?) and eyewitnesses to construct his account. One very notable possible eyewitness is Mary, which would explain how Luke had so much detail concerning the Christmas account in Luke 1-2. - Luke focused on the theme of Jesus coming for the poor and outcast. This theme is proclaimed by Jesus in the synagogue of Nazareth in Luke 4 (Reciting Isaiah 61 - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.") But it is also seen in how Luke focused on the plight of the poor, the outcast, the orphan, the sick, the Samaritan, the women, and other isolated, oppressed groups. - Luke also shows the reader how Jesus is the Christ but that this would come about through suffering. (Confer especially Luke 9:18-27)Texts to Consider:Luke 9:51Luke 10:1-12, 17-20Luke 11:1-3Luke 13:1-5Luke 16:19-31Luke 24:22-27; 44-49

Main Point: Mark wrote to encourage and challenge believers to follow Jesus and to proclaim Him as the Messiah, the Son of God.Outline1. Galilee - Mark 1-8:262. On the Way to Jerusalem - Mark 8:27-10:523. Jerusalem - Mark 11:1-16:8?Texts to Consider: Mark 1:1Mark 1:14-15, 17Mark 1:29Mark 4:35-41Mark 8:27-33; 9:1-13Mark 11:12-25Mark 15:33-39

Main Point: Matthew wrote to a largely Jewish audience to show how Jesus is the Promised Messianic King in the line of David and from the family of Abraham. Jesus established himself as King over God's Kingdom by suffering and dying on the cross and then being resurrected in power and glory. An interesting Parallel... Jesus as the New MosesTexts to Consider: Matt. 1:1-16Matt. 2:17; 3:3; 4:1-11; 12-14Matt. 9:35-38Matt. 23:1-36Matt. 28:11-15

In today's service we will be focusing on The Lord's Supper. Bro. Derrick will be preaching from 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.

DanielMain Point: Daniel proclaims the sovereignty of God over various kings, nations, and empires. The people of God were expected to live out their faith in the midst of an unbelieving world, trusting in the Sovereign God. Texts to Consider:Ezekiel 40:1–4What does Ezekiel get to see, and who shows it to him?Ezekiel 47:1–12The image of the Temple that Ezekiel sees is …Daniel 1:1–21Daniel 3:16–18Daniel 5:24–30Daniel 7:1–28

Ezekiel (Part 2)Remember from last time…-       Image of “the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD” in Babylon-       Ezekiel's call as a watchman-       The new heart that God was going to give the remnant that returned from exile-       The image Ezekiel saw left the holy city and headed eastwardTexts to ConsiderEzek 20:32–44Ezek 33:21–33Ezek 34:1–24Ezek 37:15–28Ezek 38–39

Main Point [Lamentations]: The book of Lamentations is individual poetic reflections on the fall of Jerusalem and the exile that followed. Like the prophetic works, the complexity of God's dealings with his people, and their understanding of this dealing, is highlighted in the poetry of Lamentations. Main Point [Ezekiel]: At the beginning of Babylonian exile, God gave the prophet Ezekiel a vision of the glory of the LORD, a prophecy of judgment, and a prophecy of hope.Texts to Consider:Lamentations 3:1-66Lamentations 5:19-22Ezekiel 1:1-28What are the historical situations at the beginning of the book of Ezekiel?Ezekiel 3:16-21Ezekiel is made a watchman for the house of Israel. What does that mean? Where in the New Testament is this image also drawn upon? Ezekiel 8:1-18Ezekiel 11:14-25

NOTESJeremiah 1-27Texts to Consider:Jeremiah 1:1-3As always, we need a little history lesson.

They are...Jeremiah 7:1-15, 30-34What was the attitude of the people toward spiritual things?Jeremiah 18:1-23The illustration of the potter and the clay draws upon language from Jeremiah 1. What other Old Testament book sounds similar to the message the LORD gave Jeremiah in this passage?

1 KingsMain Point: The books of 1–2 Kings continue the story of the people of Yahweh moving forward from the eternal promise given from Yahweh to David in 2 Samuel 7. The Messianic King would come through the line of David to fulfill the promises made to Abram in Genesis 12 and rule over the nations. Unfortunately, the kings found in the books of 1–2 Kings fall way short of this expectation. Historical TimelineReign of Saul over United Kingdom of Israel – 1020–1000 BCReign of David over United Kingdom of Israel – 1000–961 BCReign of Solomon over United Kingdom of Israel – 961–922 BCFall of Samaria and Northern Kingdom of Israel to Assyria – 722 BCFall of Jerusalem and Southern Kingdom of Judah to Babylon – 587 BCTexts to Consider:·      1 Kings 2:1–4With David's instructions to Solomon, he echoes what other passages from Scripture?·      1 Kings 6:1–2, 37–38How long did it take for the Temple to be constructed during the reign of Solomon?The use of trees and fruit (particularly pomegranates) invokes what location?·      1 Kings 8:46–61What stands out about Solomon's prayer of dedication of the Temple?·      1 Kings 9:1–9What does the LORD say to Solomon after his building of the Temple, prayer of dedication, and benediction over the people of Israel?·      1 Kings 11:1–13Now what has happened with Solomon?·      1 Kings 11:26–40, 12:25–29Jeroboam, son of Nebat, is established as a king of a divided kingdom.
