In this episode of the Servants of Grace Theology Segment, Dave Jenkins answers a listener's question: “Why do cults use God falsely in their mission?”Cults often use religious language and biblical imagery to manipulate and control. They twist Scripture, exploit faith, and claim divine authority to lead others into deception. In this episode, Dave unpacks how these spiritual traps work — and how Christians can recognize them and respond with truth, wisdom, and discernment.Audio: Watch Video:What You'll Learn:How cults use religious language to gain trustWhy leaders invoke God's name to justify controlCommon tactics: isolation, fear, control, shameBiblical discernment to spot false teachingHow Christians can stand firm in truth and graceScripture References:Matthew 7:15–172 Timothy 4:3–4Galatians 1:6–9Acts 17:112 Timothy 3:16–171 Timothy 4:1Ephesians 6:10–18Subscribe & Follow:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22CmXpzbz6JYjemSV0CMwt→ Listen and follow us on SpotifyApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/servants-of-grace/id1240932035→ Subscribe and leave a review on AppleYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace→ Watch episodes and subscribe on YouTubeTheology Segment Archive: https://servantsofgrace.org/servants-of-grace-theology-segment/→ Explore more theology-focused content

This week, Clayton Riddle starts our new series on The Holy Spirit. This week's message is entitled "All of God". What does it mean when we hear that God is three in one? Do we understand the fullness of God and the importance of trinity?

Tap here to send us a message!Many in Christianity shy away from addressing the reality of eternity, yet the Bible clearly teaches that every soul will spend eternity in either Heaven or Hell. This sobering truth reveals the weight of every decision we make in this life. While the enemy seeks to lead us into everlasting torment, Jesus has lovingly prepared a place of eternal joy for those who follow and obey His Word, where they will dwell with Him forever.11/17/2024 - Sunday MorningScriptures:Matthew 13:47-51Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23Revelation 21:8Matthew 10:28Revelation 20:10Matthew 25:41Revelation 14:11II Thessalonians 1:9Acts 1:25Matthew 25:41John 14:1-2Revelation 7:9Revelation 21:21Romans 8:22, 24-25I Thessalonians 4:16-17Revelation 22:17

Tap here to send us a message!It is essential for everyone who reads God's Word to recognize the profound difference between earthly fear and the fear of God. Unchecked earthly fear can paralyze us and hinder our relationship with God. The fear of God, on the other hand, is directly connected to love for Him and causes the fears of this world to diminish.05/23/2024 - Thursday NightScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):Psalm 111:10Proverbs 9:10Proverbs 1:7Isaiah 11:3I John 4:18II Timothy 1:7Hebrews 12:28Revelation 21:8Psalm 112:1Psalm 130:3-4Psalm 103:17Luke 1:50Psalm 19:9Acts 10:35Psalm 147:11Psalm 34:9Proverbs 10:27Proverbs 14:26Proverbs 22:4Psalm 34:7Proverbs 16:6Proverbs 8:13Acts 9:31Psalm 34:11Proverbs 1:29Revelation 19:5

Within our human nature, it is a common occurrence to make commitments that often go unfulfilled. Conversely, God stands in stark contrast as an unwavering force, incapable of uttering a promise without steadfastly delivering on it. His pledges to His people not only abound but each one is destined to be realized if we walk after Him in faith and obedience. 02/25/2024 - Sunday AMScriptures Used (In Order of Occurrence):I Kings 8:22-24Isaiah 55:8-11Numbers 23:19Joshua 23:14Isaiah 55:8-11II Corinthians 1:20Hebrews 10:23Romans 3:23I John 1:9Acts 2:38-39John 12:39II Peter 3:9

Series: Guard the TreasureTitle: Who leads the Church & how?Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:1-13 NIV 1 Peter 5:1-3Acts 20:17-31Titus 1:5-9Acts 6:1-7Eph 4:11-12Luke 22:27Bottom Line: When we grow in Christ-like character and competency, we move towards being qualified to lead in the church.SERMON OUTLINENOTESOUTLINESDISCUSSION QUESTIONSMAIN REFERENCES USEDSERMON OUTLINEIntroduction“1 Timothy 3 (The Bible Exposition Commentary): As we noted before, even though the church is an organism, it must be organized or it will die. Leadership is a part of spiritual organization” -WWSeveral others I read said that everything rises and falls on leadership. We know this intuitively. We see it in the workplace. We see it in sports. We see it in politics. Great leaders lift everyone else up. And the great leaders aren't just great in competencies. They are great in character. So it should not surprise us that most of God's qualifications for his leaders are based on character. ContextOUTLINE (Based on Wiersbe & Platt)Key theme: How to manage the ministry of the local churchKey verse: 1 Timothy 3:15I. The Church and Its Message (1)II. The Church and Its Members (2–3)A. Praying men (2:1–8)B. Modest women (2:9–15)C. Dedicated officers (3:1–13) THIS WEEK STARTS HEREThe Bible identifies 2 primary leadership roles in the church:Pastors/elders, who are servant-leaders. (Aka overseers, bishops, shepherds)Presbyter or elder, referring to the person (mature)Pastor or shepherd, referring to their role. (Lead, feed, protect, model)Bishop or overseer, referring to their role. (Watch over, see Pastor) We do not see bishops over elders/pastors in the early church.1-3 are all interchangeable because their all referring to the same person/role.Minister or deacon, referring to those who support the pastor/elder.Deacons, who are leading servants.The Bible identifies 4 responsibilities of pastors/elders: (3:1-7; Acts 20:17-31)Lead under the authority of Christ. #LEADOur pastors/elders are accountable to the church members i.e. Matt 18:15-20Our pastors/elders are accountable to GodCare for the body of Christ. #PROTECT (Acts 20:28-30; 1 Peter 5:2) “be on guard” for “savage wolves” in sheep's clothingTeach the Word of Christ. #FEEDModel the character of Christ. Bottom line: What will happen if the church imitates this leader? #MODEL 3 Responsibilities of Deacons (3:8-13)Meet needs according to the Word.Support the ministry of the Word.Unify the body around the Word.Model the character of Christ is appropriate here to. 1. Pastors (3:1–7)Generally/summarily: “Above reproach” or “blameless” literally “nothing to take hold upon”; irreproachable observable conduct.“Faithful to his wife” literally “one woman man”Can mean one wife for life thus excluding divorced and/or remarried men (in every case though? No)What about the innocent party when the other was unfaithful?Paul allowed a new believer to let their unbelieving spouse leave the marriage Would not exclude widowers who remarry; Paul may not have ever married—wished for followers to be single like he; Paul encouraged young widows to remarryDoes not require marriage but seems to lean in that direction; this tends to take care of itself in that the typical pool of candidates is usually mostly married menPolygamy obviously not okMost likely meaning: Faithful to your current (some would say one and only) wife in every area of life. From porn to adultery, you are faithful. To not be is to be disqualified.Self-masteryTemperate—sober; clear-headedSelf-controlled—sensible; disciplinedRespectable—the outward expression of an inward self-control Hospitality—showing love to strangers (whether a traveling preacher or a needy church attender)Able to teach—specifically, the word of God. This is our authority and we must know it, believe it, and obey it. This is gifting and a skill.Drinking habits—While drinking is not forbidden by scripture, it is treated as the depressant that it is. A depressant that impairs about ability to make good judgments. This is why in the Old TestamentPriests weren't to drink while on dutyKings were discouraged from becoming drunkMagistrates were warned that they would more likely pervert justice under the influenceProphets would struggle to teach under the influenceSo it makes sense that Paul would discourage it to those who lead and teach in the churchTemper and temperamentGentle—humbly gracious and yielded or even submissiveNot violent—not a bully physically or verballyNot quarrelsome—patient with difficult people; not argumentativeAttitude to money—not a lover of money; greedyDomestic disciplineAnalogy between the family and the church family (Oikos = household)If you don't discipline at home well, you won't discipline the church well, if at allSpiritual maturity—not a new believer or pride may take him down; first called “elders” because they were senior in age and mature in faithOutside reputation—the non-Christian public2. Deacons (3:8–13)—these qualifications have a lot of overlap with elders including able to teach, at some levelSelf-masteryWorthy of respectSincere—genuine, authentic, honestNot indulging in much wineNot pursuing dishonest gainOrthodox convictionsThey must keep hold of the deep truths (mysteries or sum total of the revealed truths of the faith) of THE faith (not just any faith) with a clear conscience (as opposed to letting go of these truths like false teachers).Trusting & ObeyingTested and approved—period of probation where the congregation can assess your character, beliefs and gifts of the candidates.Irreproachable home lifeIf a woman deacon or wife of a deaconWorthy of respectNot malicious talkers (gossipers)TemperateTrustworthy in everythingDomestic disciplineFaithful to his wifeManages his household wellIf served well so far they receiveAn excellent standingGreat assurance in their faith in Jesus ChristD.

(Not perfect, but morally pure)Is this person honoring Christ in the home?If a woman, Is she worthy of respect?Is she a malicious talker?Is she temperate and trustworthy in everything?Is she faithful to her husband?In conclusion, let's ask some summary questions:Q. What do I want them to know?A. The qualifications for pastors/elders and deacons.Q. Why do I want them to know it?A. Because they are to select their leaders based on these qualifications.Q. What do I want them to do about it?A. 1. Choose qualified leaders to lead your church.Become a qualified leader whether you are ever selected or not.Q. Why do I want them to do it?A. Because this is what a true disciple of Jesus Christ looks like and what we're to become over time.Q. How can they begin to do this?A. 1. Take the test yourself. Go through the qualifications and grading yourself.Repent where appropriate and believe that God can transform you into a qualified leader.PrayNOTESElders in the New Testament are tasked with several key duties, including:1. **Spiritual Oversight:** Providing spiritual guidance and leadership to the church community.2. **Teaching and Doctrine:** Instructing and ensuring adherence to sound biblical doctrine.3. **Shepherding the Flock:** Caring for the well-being of the congregation, like a shepherd caring for a flock.4. **Modeling Character:** Demonstrating a godly and mature character for others to follow.5. **Prayer:** Engaging in prayer for the church and its members.6. **Protecting from False Teaching:** Guarding the congregation against false doctrines or teachings.These duties are outlined in passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9 and 1 Peter 5:1-5 in the New Testament.OUTLINESBKC OutlineI.

In this episode we talk about living in the freedom of God's grace versus the slavery of legalism. While this episode is lengthy, there is some much more that could have been said on the topic or even just regarding the book of Galatians. After listening to this episode, I would highly encourage you to go read Galatians start to finish keeping in mind what we discussed today.Purchase The Grace Awakening (Chuck Swindoll).View the definition of "justify".View the definition of "righteousness".Quotes used:AMP Bible footnote: "Being justified is a legal or judicial declaration of righteousness. Justification has two parts: (1) Being declared free of blame, acquitted of sin—not guilty. Believers are justified because Jesus Christ personally assumed the guilt for our sin on the cross; (2) God declares the person righteous, that is, placed in a position of right-standing with Him. A person may not be made righteous by his personal behavior, no matter how good, or by the declaration of any other human being.""There is a battle raging today throughout the world in the heads and hearts of multitudes of people, who just will not accept the fact that they can do absolutely nothing to justify themselves before God!" (Phil Newton)"Paul did not deny that good works were significant. He just denied that they were the grounds of our acceptance. Ephesians 2:8-10 shows Paul's gospel clearly—God's initiating grace, through mankind's faith response, unto good works."

Another reason he lists his credentials is to show how those things cannot save (e.g., Philippians 3:1-11).When I said, "Is that not different than the whole distinction between identity and behavior," I didn't mean to say "not".Support the showIf you feel so led, you can support the podcast by clicking HERE or by clicking the "Support the show" button above.

What is the meaning of Pentecost? What does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples? Why is this seen as the beginning of the Christian Church?Pentecost is significant because we see the powerful display of the intention and mission of Christ being realized. This is a point in time to celebrate the gift of healing and rejoining of the diaspora of the Babylonians from the Tower of Babel. God bless,Rev LeonGenesis 11:1-9Acts 2

The Anointing ~ Just Activate ItJournals:For Him: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2TSK3WLFor Her: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2TYMSHLPrayer Journal for Men: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WLWTYPToday, in many of the Pentecostal and Charismatic churches, they are preaching about having a “new anointing.” This new anointing is said to be a new outpouring of God's Holy Spirit on the lives of believers specifically to help them experience more power, more joy, and more holiness. While this idea of anointing certainly seems to be thrown around a little too much in some religious circles, it is not new. The Bible talks about God's anointing in several ways throughout the Old and New Testaments.There are 3 ways to activate the anointing:By Focusing on God's WordBy Expressing Your FaithBy Walking It Out Every DayScripture ReferencesLuke 4:18James 5:14Psalm 105:15Colossians 3:1-2Exodus 30:22-33Exodus 28:411 Samuel 10:1; 16:13Isaiah 45:1Matthew 3:13-16Romans 10:17Matthew 9:27Matthew 8:2-3Hebrews 11:8-9Acts 10:381 John 2:272 Corinthians 1:21-22Acts 1:8Hebrews 11:27Mark 9:24Hebrews 12:2www.lifeswordministry.orgpaypal.me/lifeswordministry

In this episode, Jori discusses with her listeners about the things we are supposed to think about. EPISODE ERRATA and CORRECTIONS:  I mention about 2 sections of the gospels in which Jesus is recorded as talking about not being anxious. I mentioned Mark and Luke. I should have said Matthew and Luke. Later in the podcast, I give references for the scriptures in Matthew and Luke.  Also, I erroneously stated "My Redeemer is faithful and true, as the scripture says."    While scripture is very clear that our Savior- our Redeemer is faithful and is also the Way, the Truth and the Life, there is not just one scripture that says this verbatim. Scripture translation used is the English Standard Version.Scripture quotations are from The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

In this episode we discuss...responsible financial stewardship in the rural church!Fraud can happen without you knowing it!Most pastors and church leaders have NO intention of hurting the Church.We think there is a way that a lot of rural pastors are misusing church funds without even realizing it.Many rural pastors are overworked. Pastoral ministry is demanding.What if we told you that instead of being overworked and underpaid, you are actually overworking and overpaid?THEORY: Pastors should focus most of their time doing what only pastors can do!If you’re getting paid a pastors salary to create, print, and stuff the bulletins, or clean the sanctuary, or put lyrics into the computer, or check the mail and pay the bills - you are being overpaid!Now, we're not suggesting that any of those things are beneath you.But, as part of your regular routine, you should be spending the majority of your time doing the things that God has instructed, qualified, and called what ONLY elders or pastors can do.What does Scripture say?1 Peter 5:2-3 (1-14)Acts 20:282 Timothy 4:21 Timothy 5:17Hebrews 13:17Ephesians 4:12Titus 1:9Acts 6:1-6Arguments against?We hardly have enough to pay our pastor as it is!Nobody is willing to help.I’m too busy to train anyone. It’s easier to just do all the work.The real problem.Pride in doing a ton.More comfortable doing things they can see making an instant impact.Haven’t thought carefully about what Scripture calls to do.Too proud to ask for help.Trying to please men instead of God. Don’t know what to do.What can you do?PrayRepent if necessary.Log your hours.Make a list: what can someone else do?Make a job description.Talk to your leaders.Talk to the congregation.Hire a non-paid admin assistant ORsince a laborer is worth his wages, trim the budget somewhere else, or start a small savings line item to hire a very part-time person to do some of the basics. Have a bigger vision for the position than what you can hire.

Sermon Recording Sermon NotesTeacher: Rev. Scott StrickmanSermon Series: An Invitation to Wisdom: Proverbs 1-9Acts 2:22-41 (ESV)22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. 25 For David says concerning him,“‘I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken; 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh also will dwell in hope. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says,“‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, 35 until I make your enemies your footstool.”’36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.Sermon OutlineThe world changing resurrection of Jesus brings life changing transformation to individuals who embrace something more powerful than death.1. The need for transformation vv22-24 “Jesus… a man attested to you… with signs God did in your midst…. you crucified…”vv30-31 David “being therefore a prophet… foresaw and spoke about the resurrection”vv32 “this Jesus God raised up, and of that we are all witnesses”v33 “he has poured out this that you are seeing and hearing”v36 “let the house of Israel then know for certain…”2. The promise of transformation v24 “God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it”Song of Solomon 8:6 “love is strong as death” 3. The gift of transformation v37 “cut to the heart… ‘what shall we do?’”v38 “repent and be baptized… for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit”v26 “therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; my flesh will also dwell in hope”Questions for ReflectionIs there anything more powerful than death? If so, what?How are you shaped by your own mortality? Do you avoid thinking about it? Is the way you think about death accurate and healthy? How does knowing you will die affect you?What do you find difficult in the claim that God raised Jesus from the dead? What do you personally need in order to believe this claim?What are some ways you would live differently if you believed the years you have on earth are all there are, as compared to believing that you will be raised to eternal life? What are practical implications of each approach to life?How should belief in the resurrection make your life on earth better? How can it inspire more honorable choices? What kind of outlook should you have, and how do you develop a more hopeful perspective?In what ways do the promises of the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit have the potential to bring deep transformation in those who believe this? How would thorough forgiveness change you? How does understanding that the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead inhabits those who trust Christ create a whole new outlook?How can you be more hopeful this year? How can you face your problems honestly, but also optimistically? What role does faith play in the details of your life?Prayer of ConfessionOur Father, today is a day to celebrate, but we must also acknowledge our present need of forgiveness and help. We confess our lack of understanding and faith. We have trouble conceiving of anything more powerful than death. We are weak in hope, and strong in a self driven need for significance. Forgive our unbelief. Forgive our rejection of you, in whatever form it comes. Transform us by your grace. Grant us life. You have promised it and we trust that you have spoken truthfully. Amen.
