Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. Our encouragement today comes from Abel. He still speaks. How? He's dead. And what message does he speak? Before answering these questions, let's notice that the word translated “obtained the testimony” and “testifying” in this verse is the same word translated in vs. 2 “gained approval.” That's why I interpreted “gained approval” in vs 2 as having an enduring testimony because of the faith God gave them. Who's doing the testifying? God is! Notice it says, “God testifying.” It's not saying that Cain testified of his faith by offering a sacrifice. Abel obtained or received something from God that Cain did not receive. Abel received a testimony from God that he was righteous before Him. He was given faith, an assurance or proof that his offering would be accepted by God. So he offered a better sacrifice than Cain because he was moved by God's gift of faith. God testified to Abel that he was righteous through the faith He gave to him.  Let's now connect some dots. Abel's righteousness didn't come from Abel. Abel's sacrifice wasn't better because he was a good man. His righteousness came from His union with Jesus, which was God's doing before the foundation of the world. Paul taught this good news explicitly in 1 Cor. 1:30-31.  But by His (God's) doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.” Abel's faith, which motivated his sacrifice, was a testimony of God to Abel that God put him into Jesus Christ when He died on the cross and was risen from the dead. Jesus was delivered over because of Abel's transgressions and was raised as a testimony of Abel's justification or being made righteous. When God gave Abel faith to offer the sacrifice he did, God was testifying to Abel that he would be accepted by Him. The testimony or witness that Abel received from God, the Father, through Jesus Christ, still speaks to us who have also received the same kind of faith as Abel. We know, like Abel, that if we draw near to God through the blood and intercession of Jesus, we will be accepted and will receive whatever grace we need to glorify God. That's the author's point in all of these testimonies in chapter 11 of Hebrews. When we live to love with Jesus, we are offering ourselves to God as a sacrifice like Abel offering the firstlings of his flock and their fat portions (Gen. 4:4). Listen to Paul's calling the church of Ephesus (and you) to live to love with Jesus. “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Through faith you have obtained a testimony from God that you are righteous through Jesus Christ, who offered Himself to God as a pleasing aroma to Him. The best way to celebrate Christmas is to walk in love. It's the best gift we can give to God and everyone else because we love through Jesus Christ. We do so by the very faith He has given us. Abel says your offering will be received and accepted by God. Wow! What good news on this Christmas Day! Do you hear what I hear?

Hebrews 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. “By this will,” what will? The will of God that Jesus came to do, namely offer His body as a pleasing sacrifice to His Father for the purpose of making all of those the Father gave to His Son, holy and righteous. That's what sanctification entails. Once and for all, for all time, we were completely set apart for God's glory through Jesus Christ. When Jesus died, with you united with Him, God once and for all sanctified you. The work was done, completed, finished. That's the verb tense used by the author. God did something through Jesus Christ once for all to everyone the Father put in Him. He set us apart to Himself for His glory. The apostle Paul understood this great reality. 1 Cor. 1:30-31. “By His, [God's] doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, ‘LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.'”  I want to encourage you today that the way we glorify God through Christ Jesus is by living to love with Him. Jesus said in John 15 that the Father is glorified by our displaying His fruit of love in our lives. It's how we prove we are His disciples. We have been set apart for this purpose in Jesus as He did God's will by offering His body once and for all. We receive God's wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption so we will boast in Jesus.  Let us live to love with Jesus, and as His love flows through us, let us be sure to boast in Jesus. Let's give Him glory. We couldn't love without His resurrection life in us, and we couldn't have His resurrection life in us if He had not died in our stead to make us holy vessels. God cannot dwell where sin abides. So, through His death, it was God's will to be merciful to our iniquities, forgive our sin, and cleanse us once for all for all time.  “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!” We worship You and offer ourselves to You as holy vessels through whom Your love may flow for Your glory.

Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son He says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.” What a wonderful encouragement we have today from verse 8 of Hebrews 1. Remember the author was contrasting what God has said about the angels with what He has said about His Son, Jesus Christ. This verse shows us the union of the Father and the Son which is the source of our confidence in Him. Let's not miss this is God speaking of His Son. The Father, God, calls Jesus His God when He declares that His throne is forever and ever. Let me remind you of where Jesus is right now, ever since He ascended into heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high. We learn here that the “right hand” and the “throne” are one in the same. This means we are living to love with God when we are loving with Jesus. Stunning truth! What is a scepter? It is a staff or rod, held by a sovereign as an emblem of authority. A king or ruler rules with it. Perhaps you remember that the king of Persia extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter” (Esther 5:2). Esther recognized the king's authority. We learn from Psalm. 45:6, quoted here, that Jesus rules in righteousness. It is the overarching foundation of His kingdom or rule. Psalms 89:14 states, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; lovingkindness and truth go before You. Jeremiah 33:15 “In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.” Now for the encouragement from these Scriptures. Jesus rules His kingdom in righteousness. God has made us righteous in Christ so that we would live our lives boasting in Him, giving Him glory. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, ‘LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.'” We live to love with Jesus because He is righteous and rules our lives by righteousness, which is another way of saying He always loves. He always does the right thing before God. Our unrighteous deeds have been washed away by His blood, and the only deeds left standing before God are Jesus' deeds of righteousness. As we love others, let's remember that His love is His righteousness working through our lives. To Jesus be the glory forever and ever.

5-19-24 AM "Boast in the Lord!" Sermon Text: I Corinthians 1:26-31 Boast in the Lord who chooses nobodies to be somebodies. I. Unimpressive Origins II. Overturned Expectations III. Astounding Inclusion Mr. Daniel Hofland

We boast in the Lord because he's not only exposed the foolishness of our wisdom and power, but wonderfully, he's also given us true wisdom and power by giving us Jesus.

Ever find yourself bragging about the wrong things? In this message, we dive into 1 Corinthians to explore what it means to boast in the Lord. It's not about dropping names, flexing on social media, or showcasing our talents. The Apostle Paul reminds us that our true source of pride should be Jesus.Join us as we unpack the messy realities of the Corinthian church. This series "Messy Church" challenges us to lay down our need for attention and refocus on what really matters: humility, unity, and the power of the Holy Spirit.Grab a notebook and a pen, and let's discuss what it means to hold our heads high about the right things. If you've ever struggled with what it means to be a real follower of Jesus, or if you're curious about what the Bible says about pride, this one's for you. Hit play, and let's find out how to clean up the mess and boast in what really counts.

Romans 16:27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen. Paul's letter ends as it should, giving all the glory to God for His wisdom revealed in the gospel through Jesus Christ. I'm reminded of those encouraging verses in 1 Cor. 1:30-31. “But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, ‘LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.'” Who, but an all wise God, could flawlessly execute His purposes for and in all creation and history? God is for us! Nothing can separate us from His love in Christ Jesus. Having been loved by an all wise God, we have the resources we need to walk in His fulness and love by the grace of Christ who is with us. If God planned such a wonderful salvation for us and then has done all the work to establish us before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach forever, to Him be all the glory. Today, let us be encouraged to treasure Jesus above all things and all people on the earth. What a privilege we have to love with Jesus for the glory of God.

In today's sermon, we explore the profound wisdom that comes from God, a wisdom far greater than our own intellect or worldly knowledge. We're reminded that true wisdom is found in Christ, who has accomplished all things on our behalf. It's through faith in Him that we receive righteousness and sanctification, recognizing that our own efforts are insufficient in the eyes of God. Instead of boasting in ourselves, we're called to boast in the Lord, acknowledging His power and grace in our lives.The Scriptures urge us to seek wisdom from God, especially when faced with uncertainty or difficult decisions. By asking for His guidance and presence, we align ourselves with His will and purpose for our lives. This spiritual wisdom transforms us, shaping our character to reflect virtues such as humility, peace, and mercy. As we walk in step with God, we bear fruits of righteousness, bringing glory to His name.We're also reminded of the importance of building our lives on the solid foundation of Christ. Just as a house built on rock withstands the storms, so too do we stand firm when our lives are anchored in Him. In a world filled with fleeting ambitions and distractions, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the source of true wisdom and strength. May we boast not in ourselves, but in the Lord, who guides and sustains us each step of the way. Amen.CCC Social linksCornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning's sermon, Boasting in the Best, digging deeper into “the word of the cross” as God's power to turn human boasting right side up and reshape us to boast in the best.

We are trained and led to believe things such as supernatural signs and human wisdom are ideal to have in life.  Human wisdom has its place in life but what happens when it holds a superior position in how we value godly things? The Apostle Paul tackles this topic in 1 Corinthians 1 as we see how human wisdom and the desire for supernatural signs (i.e. physical evidence of spiritual intervention) can diminish the power of what God used to reconcile us to Him.  You ready for this Word? You ready to be changed and change from the inside to the outside?  Let's go fishing...

In all we do we must boast in the Lord.

Occidental scholarship is a fraud. It comes with its own knowledge, the way a guest comes to a potluck meal with his own communion bread. By definition, if you bring it, it is not the Eucharist—it is a McDonald's Happy Meal. It feels good—like a cheap date—but after you are done, all that's left are empty calories, with a portion of your proceeds donated to the military-industrial complex.  It does not matter what you know or where you studied. It does not matter what religion you are. Your titles, degrees, institutions, fields, backgrounds, religions, and affiliations are all useless and pointless. Harvard is not your reference. Shake them off, habibti, and recite Genesis 11:4 in Hebrew. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Still, you are not getting the point. Why? Because you “love God,” so you say, as long as he leaves some room on his throne (with all due respect) for you and your impressive body of human knowledge. No thanks, O “son of man,” says everything else that has breath “under the sun.” All that matters is what is found in the text—and guess what, anyone can find what is found, with no need whatsoever of your wide-ranging liberal arts, your think tanks (the imaginary ones, and the ones that come pre-loaded with projectiles), your humanities,  your thought leaders, your thought followers, your influencers, your systems of thought, your sophistries, your pundits, and your corrupt apologists. The so-called “gray area” of Western self-infatuation is a trap set by those foolish enough to seat themselves on the dread throne of the Judge, as though they have the authority, let alone the ability to separate the wheat from the chaff. Alas, they do not, and they cannot. Thus, Paul condemns their sophistry to the dustbin of congressional hearings in 1 Corinthians. “Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?”Do not answer that question. Not even to yourself. As disciples, we have but one task. Not to answer human questions but to deal solely with what is written: the commandments of God and to do them. Those who supplant God—not only to examine  but to relish the supposed gray area—lapse into something far worse than self-righteousness:Inaction. In the end, they may do something, but whatever it is, it has nothing to do with the artifacts found in the text. Their “doings” pertain to what they “bring” from their “body” of “human knowledge.” In other words, such fools sit themselves on their own throne, issuing their own commands according to their own preferences, ignoring what has been commanded by God in the text. I know, I know. This is the point in the homily where someone incapable of hearing will raise their hand on behalf of Descartes to ask, what do you mean by “what is found,” as if upon seeing five dollars on the sidewalk, they would not pick it up. The only thing worse than a liar is the one who lies to himself. For, indeed, the New York Times looks for excuses, and universities search for complexity, but we preach unvocalized consonants. To the New York Times, a stumbling block; and to academics foolishness, but to those who are called, Christ the power of God: Under a Bedouin tent. Christ the wisdom of God: A cup of Turkish coffee and sweets, far away from the stupidity of institutional cruelty and the insanity of human boasting. For, “as it is written, ‘LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.'” Richard and I discuss Luke 5:19-20.
