Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 12 cuts against the mindset of isolation and consumer Christianity. God did not save believers to function independently. He formed the church as one body with many members, each placed intentionally and gifted for the good of the whole. Pastor Andrew Coleman walks through how the Father arranges the body, how the Spirit empowers it, and how Christ unites it. Unity in the church does not come from personality, preference, or similarity. It comes from belonging to Christ together. The passage also presses into practical Christian living. Scripture calls believers to care for one another in tangible ways: bearing burdens, showing honor, serving faithfully, grieving together, and rejoicing together. A healthy church cannot survive on attendance alone. Biblical fellowship requires sacrifice, humility, and active love for other believers. This passage challenges Christians to examine whether they are strengthening the body or remaining disconnected from the work God designed the church to accomplish. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_09d7256eb8044adcbaf58e6afbfa5af7.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_a75032ec72ae421ea604ec1a81611760.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Ephesians 2:11-22. As Gentiles unbelievers, we were without Christ, without God, without hope, and outsiders to the covenants of God.

Let's talk about love, on this Tuesday edition of Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Corinthian church had plenty of problems and plenty of questions. Questions about the gift of speaking in tongues, about eating meat offered to idols, about divorce and remarriage. In First Corinthians, the Apostle Paul offers a practical response to these and other issues. But the foundational principle upon which all his answers rested was love. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
Here in America, if you want to take a trip to Sin City, you'll go to Las Vegas. But in first century Greece, you'd have gone to Corinth. Corinth was Vegas before Vegas. Prostitution and debauchery ran rampant. And when a little of the pagan Corinthian culture began to infiltrate the church the Apostle Paul had planted there, Paul took pen to parchment and wrote them a letter. What did he tell them, and how much of what he said applies to our culture today? Find out next, in Ron's continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”

It's not an either/ or proposition, it's both! There are areas where you definitely have to pull you own weight but often, much more often than you may think, we are supposed to help each other through life. Today, we are thinking about self-reliance and interdependence for disciples of Jesus. Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 B. Overview Scripture calls believers to cultivate personal accountability (self-reliance) while actively engaging in a community of faith (interdependence). Key Themes: Biblical foundations for self-reliance in areas like personal spiritual growth, work, and stewardship. Scriptural mandates for living in community, bearing one another's burdens, and using spiritual gifts for the common good. C. Context Emphasize believer's individual responsibility before God. Highlight the importance of local church fellowship as a way of fulfilling our mission together. D. Today I want you to consider: What does “self-reliance” mean in your personal walk with Christ? How do you see interdependence playing a role in your local church or community? II. Self-Reliance in the Christian Life A. Definition and Biblical Context Self-reliance: Cultivating personal responsibility in one's faith, work, finances, and spiritual growth, recognizing that while God provides strength, He also calls us to be diligent stewards of our lives. B. Passages on Self-Reliance Proverbs 6:6-8 (NKJV): “Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.” Encourage proactive effort and preparedness in everyday life. In what areas of your life can you emulate the ant's industriousness? Galatians 6:4-5 (NKJV): “But let each one examine his own work, and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.” Highlight the importance of personal evaluation and responsibility. How can you take ownership of your spiritual growth while avoiding pride? Philippians 4:13 (NKJV): “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Emphasize that personal achievement is rooted in Christ's strength working through us. How does relying on Christ's strength change your approach to personal challenges? C. Practical Steps Self-Examination: Encourage daily devotional practices and self-reflection. How are you taking responsibility for your life now? What practical actions show that you are serious about your spiritual life and responsibilities before God? Personal Responsibility: Discuss setting goals in prayer, work, and study. Where do you need to be more proactive? Are the basics covered? Are you seeking out ways to intentionally pursue godliness in your life? How, Where, When? Is it on your calendar and in your budget? Stewardship: Explore biblical principles of managing finances, time, and talents responsibly. Do you recognize the accountability that you have before God in the decisions you make? What does that look like? **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** III. Interdependence in the Body of Christ A. Definition and Biblical Context Interdependence: Recognizing that while believers are called to personal responsibility, they are also part of a larger, unified body where mutual support, accountability, and service are essential. B. Passages on Interdependence 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (NKJV): “For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ...” Illustrate how each believer has a unique role that contributes to the health of the whole body. Which “spiritual gifts” do you see in your life that benefit the community, and how can you serve more effectively? Where and how are you living out this ‘Body Life' of the church? Sunday morning worship service is NOT enough. Are you intentionally seeking fellowship and investing in the life of your church family. Are you inviting them into your life? Small groups, one on one meetings, microchurch gatherings in public and homes. Galatians 6:2 (NKJV): “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Stress the call to support one another in times of difficulty. How have you experienced God's provision through the help of others? How can you extend that help? Ephesians 4:15-16 (NKJV): “But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. From whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is equipped, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.” Emphasize mutual edification and the organic growth of the church as a family of believers. In what ways can you contribute to the spiritual growth of your church family? Intentionality is Key. C. Application and Practical Steps Fellowship and Community: Discuss the importance of small groups, church ministries, and accountability partnerships. Doesn't happen accidently. Serving Others: Outline practical opportunities for service in the local community and the global church. Local church, neighbor church, etc. IV. Integrating Self-Reliance and Interdependence Recognizing the Balance Christians are called to be proactive and responsible stewards of their own lives (self-reliance) while also fully engaging in the support system provided by the Church (interdependence). James 2:14-17 (NKJV): “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? … Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Faith must be expressed both individually and collectively. How does your personal faith inspire you to serve the community, and in turn, how does community service strengthen your personal walk with Christ? How do you maintain personal discipline while remaining open to community guidance? “In what specific ways will you take responsibility for your personal growth this week, and how will you actively engage with your faith community?” **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making 1. Lack of Intentionality Unclear Vision: Often, churches and individual believers may not have a clear, intentional vision or plan for disciple making. Without concrete goals, training, and accountability measures, disciple making can become an incidental outcome rather than a strategic priority. Scriptural Neglect: Some ministries may focus heavily on evangelism while underemphasizing the lifelong process of nurturing, teaching, and mentoring new believers. This disconnect from the biblical mandate (e.g., Matthew 28:19-20) can lead to a superficial understanding of discipleship. 2. Cultural Individualism Self-Reliance Over Community: Modern Western culture often emphasizes personal autonomy and self-reliance, which can contrast sharply with the biblical call to community (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). This individualism makes it more challenging to create environments where believers willingly submit to accountability, mentoring, and mutual growth. Reluctance to Invest in Others: The desire for personal achievement and success may lead some to undervalue the long-term commitment required to disciple others, rather than focusing on immediate personal benefits or social status. 3. Time Constraints and Busyness Competing Priorities: In today's fast-paced society, individuals often struggle to balance work, family, and ministry responsibilities. This busyness can leave little room for the deep, personal interactions required for disciple making. Over-Scheduled Lives: Constant digital engagement and overloaded schedules can lead to shallow relationships that lack the depth needed for transformative discipleship. 4. Lack of Effective Leadership and Training Insufficient Leadership Development: Effective discipleship requires mentors who are themselves mature in their faith and skilled in relational dynamics. A shortage of trained leaders who can intentionally mentor others is a significant barrier. Inadequate Resources: Churches may not invest adequately in training programs or create robust systems for leadership development, resulting in missed opportunities to equip believers for disciple making. 5. Digital Distractions and Superficial Engagement Impact of Technology: While digital media offers innovative outreach tools, the overreliance on online interactions can lead to more shallow, transactional relationships that lack the depth and accountability found in face-to-face mentoring. Social Media Culture: Constant engagement with social media may foster a culture of immediacy and quick approval, which can detract from the slow, formative process of true disciple making. 6. Fear of Judgment and Vulnerability Relational Barriers: Discipleship involves vulnerability and accountability. Many believers may be reluctant to share their struggles or admit weaknesses due to the fear of judgment or rejection by peers. Cultural Stigma: In both church settings and the broader society, there can be stigma associated with showing vulnerability, leading individuals to hide their need for growth rather than seeking relational support. 7. Theological Misunderstandings Misconceptions About Grace and Works: Some may mistakenly view discipleship as a checklist of rules or a set of actions rather than a transformative process fueled by the Holy Spirit. This can lead to legalism on one end or laxity on the other. Lack of Depth: Without a robust, well-balanced teaching on both grace and discipline, believers can misunderstand the essence of discipleship, which involves both receiving God's unmerited favor and engaging in the process of sanctification. 8. Resource Limitations and Institutional Challenges Financial and Infrastructural Constraints: Smaller churches or those in economically challenged areas might lack the resources to create comprehensive discipleship programs. Budget constraints, limited venues for small groups, or lack of access to quality teaching materials can impact effectiveness. Institutional Resistance: Sometimes, long-standing institutional practices can resist change, making it difficult to adapt or innovate new methods for effective disciple making. **(1:00)** As we follow Jesus there is a need to do our part and help others along the way. Engaging in the life of the church family often benefits you more than you expect, in ways that you don't expect. The Body of Christ, when operating as it should helps you to grow and gives you opportunities to invest in helping others to grow. Your gifts are needed just as you need the gifts of others. – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Episode 2679: Jill Coleman explains why relying on exercise alone for weight loss is misguided, emphasizing the greater impact of dietary changes on metabolism and physique. She highlights how different exercise modes affect hormones, the unsustainability of high-volume workouts, and the negative mental effects of using exercise as "penance" for poor eating habits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jillfit.com/2012/06/26/6-reasons-cant-outtrain-bad-diet/ Quotes to ponder: "It is not only the amount of food, but also the quality of the foods you eat that matters." "Weight training trumps cardio for fat loss. Intensity trumps duration for fat loss." "The whole concept of 'doing penance' because of bad food choices puts us in a negative frame of mind, where we use guilt and remorse as motivation."
