God's Church Growth Strategy Acts 2:38-47 ESV 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. 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. I.

Today, we're continuing our "Engaged" series by exploring a crucial aspect of discipleship: the inward relationship we share within the body of Christ.How do we grow together as believers? Peter gives us the blueprint in 1 Peter 4:8-10: love deeply, show hospitality without complaint, and use our gifts to serve one another. These aren't just suggestions—they're essential practices for spiritual maturity.We'll dive into the powerful concept of "paraclete"—a word describing the Holy Spirit who comes alongside us. But here's the exciting part: as the Spirit fills us, we're called to paraclete one another, stirring each other on to good works. This is the heart of authentic Christian community.Join us as we discover what it means to truly engage with our brothers and sisters in Christ and become faithful stewards of God's grace in all its forms.

"Work with enthusiasm as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people." — Ephesians 6:7     In this sermon at Christian Warriors Church, Pastor Triston Brooks continues our series through the book of Ephesians by tackling a topic that impacts every single one of us: our daily work. Diving into Ephesians 6:5-9, Pastor Triston addresses the cultural elephant in the room regarding biblical text on servants and masters, explaining the historical context of doulos and how God's word explicitly condemns human trafficking and exploitation. Shifting to modern application, this message outlines how the biblical relationship between masters and servants directly correlates to employees and bosses today. Work was God's idea from the very beginning, designed as a beautiful form of cultivation and worship. Whether you are an employee striving to honor your leadership or a boss called to lead with humility, this sermon provides a challenging blueprint on how to make your job your primary mission field. Key Takeaways for Employees: * Honor Your Leadership: Respect the position of authority, serving sincerely as you would serve Christ. * Help Your Boss Win: Do your job accountably, working with integrity even when no one is watching, and actively pray for your boss's success. * Avoid Entitlement: Replace complaining and breakroom gossip with gratitude. * Know When to Stand Firm: Respectfully say "no" if asked to compromise your walk with Christ, filling unexpected gaps with biblical trust. Key Takeaways for Bosses: * Lead with Humility: Eliminate pride and treat your employees as equals under God. * Reject Harshness: Lead through the ultimate servant example of Jesus Christ. * Exhort and Affirm: Pray over your team, care for their families, and let your praise outweigh your correction When is it Biblically Okay to Leave a Job? Pastor Triston outlines four clear scriptural boundaries for walking away from a workplace: 1. If your job demands sin or compromises your walk with Christ. 2. If it is actively harming your health, your family life, or your ability to serve God. 3. If you face abuse, illegal treatment, or unethical demands. 4. If a better opportunity presents itself through prayer, the Holy Spirit's guidance, and wise spiritual counsel.

A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.   Though Paul is speaking the above scripture to those persons who have unbelieving mates, I also know this applies to unbelievers in general when we are around those unbelievers.   God says:   II Corinthians 6:14-18   14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?   15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?   16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be MY people.   17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you,   18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.   It is not that we have to argue with the unbeliever.  We just speak the truth from God and let the person make his decision.

(This podcast was previously published on May 2, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Are we drawing nearer to the return of Jesus, "the day of the Lord"?   Do we see increased wickedness in this world today?  Do we see churches fall away from scripture and set up other doctrines which makes them "antichrist", the apostate church of the end times?   (Every church I've tried to attend since 1980, has omitted teachings on divorce & remarriage, and homosexual & lesbian, and antichrist in the end times.)   As we see an increased wickedness of this world and an increase in churches omitting scripture and setting up other doctrines in the churches, we see the day of the Lord approaching.   In the following scripture we read:   Hebrews 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.   26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,   27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.   28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:   29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?   30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.   31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.   So in the Bible, we are instructed to "exhort" one another even more as we see the day of the Lord approaching.   (Exhort means:  to urge earnestly by advice and warning)   It is not that we speak too much, as devils would tell us.  But rather we need to speak even more godly things to edify the church in the last days.   (Paul once spoke till midnight to that church group.  Acts 20:7)   So we speak and don't hold back!   2 Timothy 4:2-4  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.   *****   Hebrews 6   4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,   5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,   6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame.   7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:   8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.   ***   2 Peter 2   18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.   19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.   20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.   21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.   22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.  

In this podcast episode we discuss about the idea form Hebrews 3 of exhortation - what does it means, why do we need it and how we should do it.

Sermon by Fr. Bob Fabey6th Sunday of Epiphany

(This podcast was previously published on March 29, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   When we meditate on those scriptures brought to our attention by the Holy Spirit and we do those instructions, we have a promise from God that we will prosper and have good success in all that we do on this earth.   Joshua 1:8   God says:  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   ***   Psalm 1:1-3   Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.   2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.   3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   *****   Example:   Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.   ***   Philippians 2:5-7  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made Himself of no reputation,   ***   And the following two scriptures have greatly influenced me even unto the present day:   Hebrews 3:13-14  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;   Exhort: to urge earnestly by advice or warning   Hebrews 10:25 ... exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.  

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive in 1 Thessalonians 3:1-7 where we see Testing through Tribulation and the Testimony of True Faith woven together. Unable to return, Paul sends Timothy to strengthen and encourage the church so they won't be shaken by trials he had already told them to expect. That testing is real, but the report back is brighter: their faith and love endure, and they long for Paul as he longs for them.

Hebrews 3:7–19I. Remembering Israel in the Wilderness – 7-11II. Learning from Israel in the Wilderness – 12-15III. Startled by Israel in the Wilderness – 16-19

Titus 2:15: Declare, Exhort, and RebukeTitus 2:15 is the focus, commanding Titus to "declare," "exhort," and "rebuke" with authority. "Declare" means to teach authoritatively, and this command frames the entire chapter (Titus 2:1-15) as an inclusio, highlighting what Titus must teach. This teaching emphasizes Christian behavior that stands out from the world, reflecting the gospel's transformative power. Sound doctrine, described as spiritual "hygiene," is crucial for a healthy congregation and effective counseling. The passage addresses specific groups (older men/women, younger men, bondservants), providing instructions for godly living. Grace, central to salvation, trains believers to renounce ungodliness and live self-controlled lives between Christ's comings. Good works are essential, not for earning salvation, but as evidence of a changed life and love for others. Specific instructions are given to older men and women, younger men, and bondservants, emphasizing self-control, reverence, and submission. The goal is that the word of God may not be reviled. Elders, like Titus, must model good works, integrity, and sound speech. Exhortation involves biblical encouragement, while rebuke corrects errors, aiming to bring hearers to obedience. Authority in these matters comes from God's Word. The summary concludes with a discussion of grace and godliness, guarding against legalism and license, and the importance of remembering God's promises and acting like Jesus. The podcast concludes with a prayer for victory and a call to action, referencing Martin Luther's stand for truth. The Reformed Rookie podcast and its resources at reformedrookie.com are mentioned.

Titus 2:1-10New King James VersionQualities of a Sound Church2 But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: 2 that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; 3 the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— 4 that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.6 Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.9 Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, 10 not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

Pastor Ben Smith preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5 on how to strengthen and exhort the church to stand firm against the attacks of Satan.The passion of God's servants must be to strengthen and exhort the church to stand firm against the attacks of Satan. Verses 17-20 of chapter 2 express Paul's lament that he was forced to leave the church shortly after they had come to faith and his great desire to return and be with them again. This is more than a recounting of events; it is likely a defense against those attempting to deceive the church by discrediting Paul and accusing him of abandoning them. Acts 17:1-10 describes how a hostile mob attacked the home of one of the first Thessalonian Christians named Jason, who believed that he was harboring Paul and the others in his house. Jason's life was spared only after he put up a financial surety bond that Paul and those with him would leave the city. In these final verses of chapter 2, Paul makes clear that he indeed loves the church (17) and has only stayed away because of Satan's opposition (18). Verses 19 and 20 encourage the church that Christ will return, and on that day, there will be great rejoicing in all who have received the gift of salvation. We are reminded that the chapter divisions are not part of the original text, with the division between chapters two and three. These first verses of chapter 3 are not a new idea but a continuation of the verses that precede it. Paul indicates that his desire to minister to the young Christians was so great that he sent Timothy to them even at great personal cost and suffering (3:1-2a). In chapter three, verse 2, we have the key verse for this passage. Timothy was sent to establish and exhort the church in their faith that they might stand firm against the temptation of Satan.The question that we consider with this passage is:What does the church need to stand firm against the attacks of Satan? This passage teaches two ministries that help the church stand firm in the faith.1. Work to establish and strengthen the church.2. Exhort the church to obedience.Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Sermon preached 2/23/2025.Books and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon notes are available at http://bensmithsr.org/resources.For more information on Central Baptist Church, visit www.cbcwaycross.org.

Message from Kevin Celestin on February 2, 2025

The flesh is "weak," our heart "deceitful"; only by the daily use of means and through fellowship with the godly are we preserved. Oftentimes the failure of a Christian is to be charged against his brethren as much as to his own unfaithfulness. How often when we perceive a saint giving way to hardness of heart we go about mentioning it to others, instead of faithfully and tenderly exhorting the offending one!

Church growth is about each of us growing in our relationship with Jesus, with the joints of the body in place both collectively and in our lives individually. And then as followers of Jesus, we must be willing to testify about our relationship with Jesus and what He is doing in our life. Our testimony should exhort/urge other people to take action and do something with it. TESTIFY & EXHORT! Let me tell you about Jesus! "A person with an argument is not match for a person with an experience." And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Acts 2:40 SERMON NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49347598 The Roads Church: https://theroads.church
