2 Corinthinans 2:5-11 - "Laodicea, The Corinthian Church and Forgiveness" - Pastor Dwight Douville

 Audio recordingSermon manuscript:It is not uncommon for people to think that if the Bible is true, then there should be lots of miracles. The Bible records many unusual signs and wonders that God has performed. The way the thinking goes is that if the Bible is true concerning these things, then these miracles need to keep happening. It is understandable how a person could arrive at such an opinion, but it is not right. The Bible does, indeed, record unusual things that God did. But God does not just work through unusual means. In fact, he only rarely uses unusual means. All the other times he works through ordinary means. Ordinary means would be those ways that do not appear unusual. Adam and Eve, for example, simply told their children what God had revealed to them. Abraham told Isaac about the covenant that God had made with him. We tend to think that speaking is not a big deal. We do it all the time. It can seem as though God's not involved in it at all, because he does not come with thunder and lightning and smoke like he did at Mt. Sinai. To illustrate God's ordinary means we should say something about how God works in the Old Testament after the time of Moses. God gave the Israelites the tabernacle / temple. He proscribed priests and sacrifices for them. This was the way that God's holiness was communicated to them. So it is also with the New Testament. Jesus instituted and commanded baptism as a new birth in the Holy Spirit. Jesus instituted and commanded us to observe the Lord's Supper. He says that the Lord's Supper is the New Testament in his blood for the forgiveness of sins. These, together with preaching, are the ordinary means for Christians to receive God's grace and holiness. But, as the saying goes: “Familiarity breeds contempt.” These ordinary means that God uses to communicate his will towards us, his grace and favor towards us—they become boring. Our reason starts to think that they must not be that valuable because only rare things are valuable. The Word and the Sacraments are given out quite liberally and no bills get sent out for services rendered. And so Christians might go hankering after something a little more exotic, a little more uncommon. So when we read a portion of the New Testament like our reading today from 1 Corinthinans 12, we might think, “This should do the trick!” Paul speaks of “spiritual gifts.” Among these gifts are messages of wisdom, knowledge, and faith. He also speaks of some spicier gifts. He says, “And to another, the same Spirit gives healing gifts. Another is given powers to do miracles; another, the gift of prophecy; another, the evaluating of spirits; someone else, different kinds of tongues; and another, the interpretation of tongues.” As you well know, these gifts have not been given to me or to any of the other members of this congregation. I'm not aware of anyone who can heal. I don't know of anyone who has performed miracles. None of us have been able to know the future. When we think we do know the future, we are often wildly wrong. No one has spoken in tongues. Since no one has spoken in tongues, there is also no need to have tongues interpreted. These were gifts that God gave to the apostolic Christian church. We hear of them not only here, but also in the book of Acts. God performed unusual signs through these earliest Christians, perhaps to confirm the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus. Since these signs were present among the Christians of the apostolic church, many people get deceived into thinking that there must be something deficient about the Christian church of today. We do not have these signs or we do not have them in like measure. This is a very dangerous and destructive deception. Although it has the appearance of being biblical, it definitely is not. There is a big difference between miracles happening and miracles being required. God is free to do miracles. The Bible tells us about them. Nowhere in the Bible do you ever hear him requiring his people to perform miracles. There is no expectation that God's people should perform miracles that are recognized as being miracles as by outsiders. In fact, in the grand scheme of things, miracles are not that terribly common in the history of God's people. Since the Bible records those times in the history of God's people where God did things that were unusual, folks get the idea that miracles were happening all the time. That is not true. The Bible is not an exhaustive, minute-by-minute, or even year-by-year account of each generation of God's people. There are many gaps of hundreds of years where the Bible doesn't say anything about what was going on with God's people. During those times the people continued on with the ordinary means whereby God dealt with his people. They preached the Gospel. They went to the tabernacle / temple. They observed the festivals. The people during these times were not deficient or inferior to the people of God who were living during those times when God did more unusual things. Whether God did unusual things or not does not indicate that God was more pleased or less pleased with the people living at time that he did them. Take, for example, the Israelites when they came out of Egypt. I don't think there has ever been a generation of people who saw more of God's signs and wonders than this generation. They saw the plagues God inflicted upon Egypt. They crossed through the Red Sea on dry ground. God rained down bread from heaven. He made water come out of a rock. They saw God's glory in the cloud and at Mt. Sinai, and many more. These people had miracles coming out of their ears. And yet, what does God say of them? He says that they are a stiff-necked people. He becomes so angry at them that he several times tells Moses that he is going to wipe them all out and make a nation of Moses and his descendants instead. But Moses interceded for his fellow Israelites, and God did not carry through with his threats. So we should not think that the more impressive the signs, the happier God must be with us. The more unusual the signs, the more spiritual power a group of people must have. The primary thing about being the people of God is not having spiritual power. The primary thing is to know the will of God towards us by his Word and promises. This is the way it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for as long as this present age lasts. What God's people have had in common from the time of Adam and Eve is God's promise of mercy and salvation in Jesus. This word from God to us does not need signs and wonders to make it true, effective, or believable. In fact, Jesus complains about the Jews at his time who were always wanting him to perform more and more miracles. He tells them that they are an evil and adulterous generation as they are hankering after miracles. He tells them that the only sign they are going to get is the sign of Jonah. Jonah spent three days in the belly of the fish. The Son of God would spend three days in the belly of the earth, dead, in a tomb. How's that for a sign? Christ's death, burial, and resurrection is a miracle that doesn't suit people's fancy to this very day. Those Jews who were wanting him to do miracles certainly would not have been impressed with him being crucified and buried. If anything they would have taken his crucifixion as a sure-proof sign that Jesus was an imposter and an evil-doer. He was getting his come-uppance for what they took to be blasphemy. The signs that they were keeping an eye out for were signs that appeared powerful and impressive, and so they rejected the Son of God. So we must not judge God and find his ways unsatisfactory because they don't match up with what we think would be powerful and effective. Folks want flashy signs. Barring that, they tend to think that spiritual gifts do not exist at all. This is another error that we must be on guard against. Some people know that the crazy things that are touted among the Pentecostals are not right, but then they fall off the horse on the other side. They don't think that God is involved in the lives of his people at all. Paul begins our reading today by saying, “I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning spiritual gifts.” Spiritual gifts exist. Some of the spiritual gifts that he goes on to mention were special to that particular time in the history of God's people. We see this kind of thing elsewhere in the history of God's people. It's like the way that God manifested himself to the Israelites at Mt. Sinai as I mentioned. He did tremendous and unusual things before them. It wasn't always that way, however. Later in the history of God's people there weren't these unusual things. So it is also with the time of the apostles. At their time there were unusual signs. We should not expect, and we certainly shouldn't require, that such signs should be done among God's people today. On the other hand, there are spiritual gifts that are always present among God's people. Paul says that no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Here we do not have a flashy sign. Saying that Jesus Christ is Lord will hardly impress anyone, but it can only be said by the Holy Spirit. Paul also speaks about wisdom, about knowledge, about faith. These come from the same Holy Spirit. These, also, can be easily despised. It is very common for people to think that it is no big deal to believe that Jesus is Lord. Knowing Scripture is not highly regarded as a life skill. Having God's wisdom often looks terribly impractical according to the way that the world thinks. Regardless of what our reason thinks of these gifts, they are gifts from the Holy Spirit nevertheless. They are present among God's people. Paul also speaks about spiritual gifts in his epistle to the Christians in Galatia. He says, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” These gifts, which are given to those who believe in Christ, are priceless. They renew our sin-sick hearts. They bring about miracles of self-less love and sacrifice. But they are not terribly flashy. If you compare these fruits of the Spirit to lightning coming out of your fingertips, you know that the world is going to be more impressed with the lightning. But the world is stupid. It doesn't know what is truly good. The Corinthians, to whom Paul is writing in our Epistle reading, have the same flesh and blood as anybody else, and so it seems that Paul is gently teaching them not to overestimate flashy gifts and to crave those gifts that are beneficial for others rather than those gifts that are more likely to puff up the one to whom the gifts have been given. Our reading today is from chapter 12. In the very next chapter, chapter 13, Paul says that the spiritual gift that they should prize above all others is love. 1 Cor. 13 is the so-called “love chapter,” which is fairly well known. This is where he says things like, “Love is patient, love is kind. It is not puffed up. It does not seek after its own. Love never ends.” The Corinthians were looking for those gifts that would make them appear great in the eyes of their fellows, but that is not right. Jesus says, “Whoever would be greatest must become as the least. Whoever wishes to be first must become a slave. For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many.” So we must be on guard against two things that our flesh more easily believes rather than the truth. Our flesh thinks that either Christians should be doing miracles every day of the week and twice on Sundays in order to be genuine and believable. That's the one extreme that we are prone towards. The other extreme is that God doesn't work at all. It is thought that there are no spiritual gifts. The spiritual gifts that are always present among God's people are not recognized as miracle. Spiritual gifts must only be flashy and unusual ones like dreams, speaking in tongues, or miracles of healing. But the truth is that spiritual gifts do exist. God gives them to those whom he has chosen for salvation. But they are not readily apparent to outsiders. They might not even be apparent to ourselves as we battle against the flesh, the world, and the devil. But the Holy Spirit is quietly at work in the people of God. He is healing them from their unbelief and sin-sickness. It's like when a seed is sown in the earth. First it sprouts, then come the leaves, then comes the ear. So also the Holy Spirit works through his Word and Sacrament. Quietly and unassumingly the Holy Spirit increases our faith towards God and our fervent love towards one another. So we must not be led astray on this important topic that so easily becomes obscured in our day due to Pentecostals on the one hand, and rank unbelievers on the other. God reveals his will towards us with his Word and Sacraments. That's the way he's always done it. This is his usual means of dealing with his people. He can also deal with us in unusual ways, but we shouldn't expect that, and we certainly should not require it. He gives his Christians those spiritual gifts that Paul talks about, but sometimes we have a hard time seeing them clearly, and unbelievers hardly ever recognize them. But those common gifts that cause us to be believing towards him and loving towards our neighbor are the best gifts God gives.

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation". (1 Peter 2:2) Do we actually want the word of God like our life depends on it?

There is powerful witness when preachers get stumped. Then, the Spirit conveys to us the unimaginable vastness of God’s power, grace,and love for the the world. The Reverend Matt Gaventa on preaching, from 1 Corinthinans 15, in our sermon series "Rooted in Worship." Sunday, September 22, 2019.

3 Spirit Mindsets for Victory over our Flesh 1. i Can v. 5-10 - For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 2. i Must v.12-14 - So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 3. i Am v. 15-17 - For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. The identity in Christ of the disciple is one of the most difficult realities for the disciple to embrace. Not cognitively understand or comprehend - but to embrace You are a saint if you are a believer in Christ!! Romans 1:7 - to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints; Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthinans 1:2 - to the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. 2 Corinthians 1:1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of Go

2 Corinthinans 4:7-18 (ESV)Treasure in Jars of Clay7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So death is at work in us, but life in you.13 Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that         21         Deuteronomy 10:21your       eyes have seen.        Isaiah 6:1-8        1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the        train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he        covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another        and said:           “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house         4 was       filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell       in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken        6 with       tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your        guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”  Isaiah's Commission from the Lord  8 And I heard the       voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send        me.” Key #3  God's Glory must dominate my life all the day.                Psalm 115:1        1  Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and        your faithfulness!        1 Chronicles 29:11        11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all        that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted        as head above all.       2 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.31             1 Corinthians 10:31  Corinthinans 4:17       17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all       comparison.       Romans 8:18       18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is       to be revealed to us.       Philippians 3:9       9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which       comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. Three concluding thoughts       1.  This is one of the most difficult verses for me to live out daily.  As my stiff and hardened heart at       times, do not gravitate towards the emploring of the psalmist but default to rebelling.       2.  In the midst of my distress and affliction not in theabsense of my distress and affliction.       3.  God ispassionly for His Grace and Glory not mine; and He will pursue His Glory at any and all       cost, even at the expense of my own personal comfort.       Isaiah 42:8        8 I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other.                       

Start A Revival Pastor John Couch   2 Corinthians 5:12 - 15 12 We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we a]">[a]are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; 15 and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. Mark 8:34 - 37 34 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 35 For whoever wishes to save his a]">[a]life will lose it, but whoever loses his b]">[b]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37 For what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Galatians: 2:19 - 20 19 For through a]">[a]the Law I died to b]">[b]the Law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and c]">[c]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. 2 Corinthinans 5:9 9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. Ephesians 2:1  

There is a Great Exchange which takes place at the Cross of Jesus Christ.  -Ephesians 1:5,6 -1 Corinthinans 6:17 -Colossionas 3:8,9 -Ephesians 2:14-22 -Hebrews 2:9 -Galatians 3:13 -2 Corinthians 8:9

What does it mean that love "does not envy or boast", and how is that related to my contentment and Christ's cross?

Sunday evening sermon

Brian Myers continues preaching alongside our 40 Days of Love emphasis, learning all about what the bible says about love. This week is about love and anger. These are not opposites, actually, and anger is the most mis-understood and mis-applied emotion. Anger is healthy and even right depending on the context. We must understand anger if we would learn to love one another according to the Relationship Principles of Jesus.

1 Corinthinans 1:10-17 A church is a representation of God in the world. As such it is to express the character of God and God is one, not divided.
