Amen, all right the title of my sermon this morning is what does sure foundation Baptist Church believe
Part two so a couple weeks ago. I started to preach this and realized
Pretty quickly into my sermon that I wasn't gonna get the whole thing done
So I'm gonna preach part two of the things that we believe at this church now if you remember my sermon from last time
I was just touching on certain doctrines that we believe so
That's kind of gonna be the way that I preach this one also, so I wanted to finish this, but I've been gone a lot so
I'm gonna preach part two for you this morning, so look down in Acts chapter 2 verse 41
that's gonna kind of be our focal point and kind of the the
Basically the summary of why I'm preaching this look at verse 41
It says then they that gladly received his word were baptized and the same day
There were added unto them about three thousand souls
and they continued steadfastly in the Apostles Doctrine and in fellowship and
Breaking a bread and in prayer, so let's pray well. We thank you so much for the Word of God
Thank you so much for all these people that would
Travel from far away and Lord all those that are faithful that come to this church and are a blessing here
We just pray that you would
Be with us this morning be with the soul winning today and Lord just give us strength and
Give us ears to hear your words fill me now with the Holy Ghost as I preach in Jesus name Amen
Alright, so so what is it talking about here in verse 41?
It's they that gladly received his word were baptized
So people what what happens when you gladly receive the Word of God you get saved right so and then what happens after that?
You're supposed to get baptized. That's what we preach at the doors, right?
That's what we say to people that you know
I mean, hopefully you're saying that to people after you get him say say hey come to our church get baptized
You know that's the first thing that God wants you to do
After you're saved, and it says in the same day were added unto them about three thousand souls. What does that mean well?
They were added to the church right the church of Jerusalem at that time
That was them that was the main location right that's where they started
that first church and
It says and they continued steadfastly in the Apostles Doctrine
So what it was the Apostles Doctrine anything that the Lord Jesus Christ taught them right and it says and fellowship
So they hung out together a lot right and you know we don't have a problem of fellowship at this church
we're a fellowship and a bunch of people here amen and
It says in a breaking of bread
eating together and in prayers so
All these things that they had in common
And so the point of the sermon is to just show you know God puts lists in the Bible for a reason
And he puts those lists in order
This is a list of order isn't it because once you get you know you don't you don't get baptized before you get saved
Right you don't take the Lord's Supper before you get saved
I mean some people do and they just don't realize what it is
They're doing because they're unsaved
But I'm talking about you know God has an order for things that he wants us to do and
So basically I just want to make sure that everybody understands where we're at what doctrine we teach
You know brother Stuckey preached a great sermon at the Red Hot Preaching Conference and saying you know people should know what you believe
You know you should be known by what you believe, right?
So it was a great sermon if you haven't had a chance to listen to it actually it might be banned from YouTube right now
But hopefully some other people have recorded it and mirrored it, but if you if you have a chance to listen to this great sermon
but anyway
so
Last time I finished off with what we believe about the rapture right we believe that the rapture is a post-trib
Pre-wrath rapture and so basically what that means is we believe that you know people people will say well
Jesus could come back at any moment before this church service is over Jesus could come back is that true
No because the Bible says let no man deceive you by any means that day shall not come
Except you know then it says you know that the man of sin be revealed
You know and so on and so forth, but the thing is is that you know people will say well
Jesus could come back at any moment
That's not true, and so what does the Bible say immediately after the tribulation of those days?
You know the Sun and Moon will be darkened and all that good stuff right so we believe that
Jesus can't come back at any moment
We believe that there's things that have to happen first
You know and so God is a God of order. Why would he go against what he said in the Bible?
He's not gonna do that. He's gonna go by what he says so all these clowns that are preaching
Jesus could come back at any moment. It's just a lie
It's a lie straight out of the pit of hell because they they want you to be prepared for the Antichrist
That's what they really want anyway
So what do we believe about communion turn over to 1st Corinthians 11 verse 23
1st Corinthians 11 verse 23 now just so everybody understands
We're an independent Baptist Church here, and I preach about this Thursday night that you know we say the new IFB movement
That's kind of what we call this movement, but this movement is a movement of churches
Okay, it's not a movement of a whole bunch of universal believers in the same doctrine
It's a movement of churches and so God wants you to be in church
Amen, and so people that don't have a good church to go to they need to find one or one that they can serve in and
Obviously you can do whatever you want
But if you're in a position to be able to go to a good church
And you don't go to one then you're in sin the Bible says that sin so
anyway 1st Corinthians 11 23
Says for I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you that the Lord Jesus the same night
Which he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks he break it and said take eat
This is my body, which is broken for you this do and remembrance of me
After the same manner also he took the cup when he had supped saying the cup is
That this cup is the New Testament in my blood this do ye as oft as you drink it
Remembrance of me for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you do show the Lord's death
till he come
So at this church, we believe that the that the Lord's Supper has replaced
the Old Testament Passover see because
You know they sacrificed the lamb well that lamb of God's already been sacrificed once and for all right so Jesus
Instituted this this practice okay at this church. We believe that well, so how often was the Passover done?
Once a year, so if this replaces the Passover how often should we do it once a year?
That's what I believe that's what this church believes, and if you don't believe that that's okay
But you know the thing is that you're at sure foundation Baptist Church
So if you can't get down with what we believe or if it bothers you so much
That we believe this then there's other churches you could go to that might not believe the same thing so and obviously
You know each like the reason why I brought up the point that this is a movement of churches
All these Pat all of our the pastors are like-minded in the main things, right?
But maybe we have some differences in how we do our operations how we do our soul-winning
You know certain maybe minor differences that we believe
So
There are some different churches that believe differently some churches practice the Lord's Supper more than once a year
Some some people believe that you do it at your own home
Which I don't believe that so and that's okay if so if we differ in that in that difference
I'm not trying to throw shade on anybody or anything like that, but at this church
We believe that we take the Lord's Supper one time a year
Because it replaces the Passover, and I don't have time to get into a whole
You know I've preached sermons about it before you can look at what pastor Jimenez believes
I believe exactly the way he does on this subject and
You know we don't we don't
Police the Lord's table necessarily, but one thing one thing I do
Believe though is that when you take the Lord's Supper you should have already been baptized
Because what's the order of things?
You know you get saved then you get baptized you don't do it out of order
You don't you don't get saved and take the Lord's Supper. They get baptized
That's not how that's not how the list went right so I believe that you get saved if you have not been baptized
Then you should not be partaking
So that's what I believe
And not everybody necessarily believes that either, but you know what's the Bible say you know you get you get saved
Then you get baptized then it's breaking and bread and prayers and fellowship and all that good stuff
So you know but we believe it's once a year you know and if you have questions about that
I do have sermons
I preached about it before if you just have questions I can show you further scripture on that
but at this church we believe that so
And you know God wants us to do things after the due order right God's really specific
Sometimes about how he wants things done and one of the things about
What we call communion or the Lord's Lord's Supper. We don't use
alcoholic wine
Okay, because that's
The Bible says it's that you know that's a picture of corruption was Jesus's blood sinless
So what would you use if your drink if you're having the fruit of the vine?
Which it never says wine in the Bible when it talks about the community says the fruit of the vine
Jesus you know said I will not drink this fruit of the vine till I drink it new with you in my father's kingdom
Right so what's more pure than freshly squeezed grape juice, right? That's what we use
That's what we believe in and brother Justin. I watched him walk by with a bunch of loaves of leaven bread
Okay, I've been to churches before where they have a big loaf of bread and people just come up
And they have wine like real wine
You know not real wine, but alcoholic wine, okay?
So wine is two things in the Bible it could either be freshly squeezed juice of some sort
Or it could be fermented alcoholic it depends on the context
But anyway, we don't use
We don't use
things with leaven we don't use leaven bread for our
Communion service we use unleavened bread, and we actually freshly baked that the night before so
It doesn't it doesn't come in like a little tiny square like this big that's been freeze-dried
For since he turned you know for thousands of years
You know I'm talking about you put that thing in your mouth like
Tastes like you're eating a piece of chalk or something
So we use a freshly baked
unleavened bread
You know because that's a picture of the sinless body of Christ
It was broken for our sins right and the blood that he shed for us is the pure grape juice that we use
Okay, so and we do believe that those are the ordinances two of the ordinances that we observe in this church and
That's what we believe so let's move on. Oh actually let's go over to first Chronicles first Chronicles chapter 15
First Chronicles chapter 15
And you know one of the things about the Lord's Supper
Which I'm not going to go into the verses about it, but if you it says if you drink it unworthily
That some are falling asleep
So that's one of those things that we take really seriously here because and I like to just explain what all that means is
That if you drink that Lord's Supper unworthily you could die
You know it says some are falling asleep
So obviously that's talking about people that are saved because you know say you know debt people that are not saved. They just die
Okay, but Christians when they?
When they die that the Bible sometimes says that they're falling asleep like because they're gonna get woken up at some point
You know I mean, they're they're awake in heaven, but their body is dead right so first Chronicles 15
verse number 12
The Bible says and he said unto them. You're the chief of the fathers of the Levites sanctify yourself
Both ye and your brethren that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel unto the place
That I have prepared for it for because you did it not at the first the Lord our God made a breach upon us
For that we sought him not after the due order
Order
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord
God of Israel and the children of the Levites
Bear the ark of God upon their shoulders with staves thereon as Moses commanding commanded excuse me
According to the word of the Lord so what happened well they brought the they brought the ark on a cart right they made a
new cart
They're bringing the ark to Jerusalem
And they were not doing it the way that they were told in the in the book of Moses
They said they were supposed to put it on staves
The Levites were supposed to carry those things and were they doing a bad thing by bringing the ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem
No, they were doing a good thing
But they weren't doing it the way God told them to do it and so when you do things
Not the way God told you to do it, but you want to do it your own way
well be careful because you know God might just
You know make a breach upon you you know what I mean, and what is a breach?
It's a it's a hole or it's something that divides you so Uzzah when he reached forth to touch the ark to stop it from
Falling over what did God do?
He killed him he put a breach upon him and David was afraid that day
And so what did they do that brought it back after the due order the way God said to do it and God blessed that
So that's why you know I really do take the Lord's Supper
Seriously, and I I want to do it the way that I think that God wants it to be done
So by the due order the way he says to do it, so you know if I'm wrong
I guess I'm ignorant
But I don't think that I am wrong about it
And so we'll continue to practice it the way that we have since we started here
So anyway moving on soul winning. What do we believe about soul winning?
Like I'm gonna talk about selling again. Yeah, we're gonna talk about soul it again
It's the most important thing that we do here
All right, and I'm gonna talk about sewing again. We're not carnival barkers
Okay, some people you know do this. Oh, let's do street preaching. You don't believe it's street preaching brother. No, I don't
Unless you're talking about walking up to someone and giving the gospel and preaching to them that yeah, I'm okay with that
But if you're just standing on the street corner with a bullhorn with a sign that says repent or perish or whatever
They're not even using real Bible verses on their signs that they put on their bodies
And all they do is yell and scream and tell people they're going to hell. That's not how you reach people
Okay, you're never gonna reach people that way
You're never gonna reach people by standing on a corner and screaming at the top of your lungs
Tell people they're going to hell because the music they listen to I mean, it's just not the way God
Has us to do things we believe in door-to-door
Soul winning turn over to Acts chapter 5
and
I realize a lot of this stuff is really basic stuff that you already know
But I want the I want you guys to know and you know maybe there's things that you just kind of forgot
Oh, I forgot we believe that so or maybe you're just new in church, and you don't know these things
This is good stuff to know
so winning
Acts 5 verse 42 says and daily and in the temple and in every house
They cease not to teach and preach Jesus Christ, so
They did it daily
You know and we have a pretty we have a lot of soul winning times at our church
We have a lot of soul winning going on in our church, and so we're almost daily
We're getting there, but it says daily in the temple and in every house
They cease not to teach and preach Jesus Christ
So if they're doing it at every house does that mean that they have to go to people's houses
Yeah, so um
People get all you go door you walk and knock on people's doors
Yeah, because to get into every house you have to knock on the doors, right?
Turn over to Acts chapter 20 Acts chapter number 20
Acts chapter 20 I
Gotta get there myself here acts 20 verse 20
The
Bible says and how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you
But have showed you and have taught you publicly and from house to house so the Apostle Paul go house to house
So what is the greatest example of soul winners in the Bible is he one of the greatest examples of solar's in the Bible of?
Course and he went house to house
You know oh, you're like those Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. No. We're like the Apostle Paul. We're like Jesus Christ
That's what we're trying to aim to be and that's what we're gonna do as long as I'm the pastor here
We're gonna go and knock people's doors
We're not gonna stand on a street corner with a bullhorn in our hand and just scream at people and tell them they're going to hell
Because they're all these people that are like the Trump protesters and stuff they do the prayer
National prayer warriors or whatever whatever they're called all they're doing is going down to try to pick a fight with the antifa people
All that is is like it's like they put their battle in a ray so they can yell and scream and make videos
I mean you watch those videos and everybody's standing around with the camera waiting for someone to do something crazy, right?
That's not what we're doing here
What you know and they say that they're Christians or whatever, but how's that reaching people all?
They're doing is just starting fights, and that's not what I mean if the fight comes to us. We'll bring it on
But we're not out to try to start fights intentionally with people and that's what those clowns are doing and most of those people are
like repent of your sins
street corner bullhorn preachers, and that's not what we're doing so
What so what do we need to explain to someone to get them saved?
Well, we got it. They got it people got to understand their sinners, right?
And people got to understand that there is a literal hell that they're gonna go to and so we got to explain the gospel
The death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and we got to explain to people that it's by faith alone
Right and that's a hard one for people because everybody wants to believe in works
Everybody wants to think that they have to just repent of their sins and all that garbage
We got on people got to understand. It's a gift
salvation is a free gift and it is important to make sure that you stress that point because people
Just have a hard time with some people get it real easy, but some people it's like you have to go through
You know all this different stuff all the scriptures. You know you can think of and sometimes they still won't get it
And they also have to understand that that they have eternal life
By believing by believing you get eternal life
And that's a free gift that God gives you and that you have to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved
There's a person that was kicked out of faithful word and that person said I've never called upon the name of the Lord
I've you know
I've not even in my heart
Never called upon the name of the Lord to be saved and that person was kicked out because they didn't believe the Trinity
But so it may it just makes you to me if someone says I've never called upon the name of the Lord
I've never done it even in my heart. You're not even saved
Because the Bible says whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, right?
I
Mean how much why would you go against that because you're not saved yeah, right?
So do people oh messing up the mic here?
So what about the prayer?
What do they have to say well the thief of the cross?
What do you say remember me when up when you come into your kingdom?
It doesn't have to be super complicated, but it's their faith that they're calling with right
So when I say someone you know people say well
You just think you have to just pray a little prayer, and then they're saved and you know they don't have to do anything else
Well, no they have to believe
They have to have the right belief and when they call upon the Lord. What is that? That's an act of faith
It's not a it's not a work like people will try to say oh, it's works. It's works to ask God for something
It's works to call upon the name of the Lord. No that's faith. It takes faith to believe in God, right?
so
We do believe here that you have to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved
And if you haven't done that you're not saved
So and people get mad about that, but I don't care. I'm gonna preach that till kingdom come right
first John
510 turn over there
first John 5 10
Do people need to believe in eternal security to be saved
yes, they do they absolutely do and
I'm of the mind that if they don't believe in eternal security then they are not saved
Now sometimes you go to a door and someone might be saved, but they've gotten some garbage teaching, okay?
It's hard to discern that sometimes it really is
But like if you can just snap someone back with one scripture, and they're like oh, yeah, that's yeah
I believe that but maybe they were just sitting in Joel Osteen's church or
What's that clown's name the one in town?
Yeah, Daniel Fusco if you go to his church. Maybe you're getting that impression. Maybe someone's corrupted you maybe they've
Bewitched you into believing another gospel
But obviously if you're saved the scriptures are going to make you retract what you believe really quickly I remember like
Saying repent of your sins like because I heard it so much
But didn't really I didn't think what people thought about it like that you had to
Give up all your sins to be saved or something
It's just a saying that you hear so much in church that it just you repeat it like a parrot, right?
So but the first time I ever heard strong preaching against it was by Pastor Anderson, and I was like yeah, of course
I mean yeah, I don't believe that
You know and that's why he says that there's a spectrum of believers
But here's the thing if
If you're in a church and the pastor believes you have to repent of your sins
And then you go to them and say hey look at Jonah 3 10, or you know look at any other verse
They go. Oh, yeah, well. I don't believe that
Then they you've snapped them back from from believing something that they probably just heard in Bible college. They've heard other preachers say
and if they can just
Change on it like that then they're probably are safe
You know if they believe the right thing, but if they just dig in and say no
That's not that's not what that's not what it is then
You know they got a problem, and they got a problem because they're probably not saved so
first John 5 10
The Bible says this he that believeth on the Son of God hath to witness in himself he that believeth not God
Hath made him a liar
Because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son
And this is the important part and I'd I'd use this verse these verses so any all the time
Says and this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his son
So you're calling God a liar if you don't believe the record
What's the record that God has given to us eternal life from this life is in his son?
If they don't so if they don't believe in eternal life if they say you could lose it then what are they saying?
God's a liar
Alright, that's blasphemy isn't it?
Says he that hath the son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life two different types of people
They that have life they that don't have life. It's not that complicated
so
For Titus 1 to turn over to Numbers
23
19 Numbers 23
19 I'm just gonna read for you one verse that you guys probably already know Titus 1 2 says in hope of eternal life
Which God that cannot lie?
promised before the world began
So I use that verse all the time out soul winning to God can't lie
It's it's just a fact of of life that God can't lie. He's not a sinner and so he can't sin
he's not capable of sin and so
God's not gonna lie and
It says that he cannot lie. Do you believe the Word of God this morning of course?
Numbers 23 verse 19 says
God
Is not a man that he should lie
Neither the son of man that he should repent
Hath he said and shall he not do it or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?
So when God says something you can count on it when God says he's not a man that he should lie
That's the fact okay. He's not a man that he should lie turn over a Hebrews chapter 6 verse number 18 Hebrews 6
Verse number 18
So when people just dig in and
Say no you can lose it you can lose it you show them verse after verse like this
And they still don't get it just leave that person and if they're part of a false cult they might be a reprobate
So well the Mormons like to waste your time
Don't let you give them the whole gospel
Just so you bet they make sure that you don't get down to the to the house that you were supposed to get to
Because they work for the devil if they come and preach a false gospel to you. Don't let them in your house
They're wicked as hell
Rebuke them
Hebrews 6 18
says
Let's look at verse 17 says wherein God willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immune the immutability of his counsel
Confirmed it by an oath that by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie
We might have a strong consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold
Upon the hope set for set before us. It's impossible for God to lie
He cannot lie. It's impossible for him to lie. He's not a he's not a man that he should lie
Okay, and so what what is the point the point is is that when God says he's gonna give you eternal life
That's it. You just have to believe that and if you don't believe that then you're not saved
Okay, so
You should always try to if someone says they don't believe that they believe you could lose their
Eternal life or whatever sometimes you get into a situation where you're not really able to start from the beginning of the gospel
But you should try to always start at the beginning and give your gospel presentation all the way through
Because if you jump in the middle of it, then it's hard to go back
You know, so I would just suggest that if someone says they don't believe in eternal security that you just say hey
Can I show you what the Bible says?
Are you willing to listen to the gospel?
You know and a lot of times they will just let you give them the gospel. So
Let's look at the Trinity the nature of God the nature of God turn over to Ephesians chapter 4 verse 5
Ephesians 4 verse number 5
So how many gods are there?
One God, right
But we believe in this church
we believe in what's called the Trinity now the word Trinity is not found in the Bible, but we do believe in it and
That's basically saying that there's there's three the Father the Son the Holy Ghost these three are one
We don't believe in three gods. We believe in one God the Mormons believe in three gods
and that's heresy so also the
Is the the nation of Islam whatever?
Mohammedans or whatever you want to call them
They believe in one God, but they believe it differently than we do first of all their gods a wicked devil
You know Hindus believe the same thing they believe in the oneness
The oneness of God and so they have millions of gods that they worship
But they they ultimately think that it's just one God playing the role in all these different religions
That's not what we believe okay. We don't believe that Jesus and
the Holy Ghost and the Father
Are just his name is Jesus, and he's playing different modes. He's a one-man band right well
That's not what we think all right
You're in Ephesians 4 or 5 it says one Lord one faith one baptism one God and Father of all
Who is above all and through all and in you all so how many Lords is there one Lord?
How many faiths are there one faith you have to you know have faith in one God?
All right one baptism one God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all
To turn over to Deuteronomy actually turn to first
Turn to Deuteronomy 6 for Deuteronomy 6 verse 4
The
Bible says in Deuteronomy 6 for us says hear O Israel the Lord our God is one Lord
How many gods is there?
one all right and
But is Jesus God see this is this is something else that someone has to believe to be saved that Jesus Christ is God right
Turn to so you're in first Timothy
Now turn to first Timothy 3 16 you guys probably know this by heart
first Timothy 3 16 is
Jesus God
Well the answer is in first Timothy 3 16 it says and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness
God was manifest in the flesh
Justified in the spirit scene of angels preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world
Received up into glory who's this talking about the Lord Jesus Christ
now obviously John 1 1 says in the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was God and
Then God took on the form of flesh, which was the Lord Jesus Christ, okay?
So do we believe that Jesus Christ is God amen?
All right, so was Jesus fully God
fully man or both
Turn to a collage of chapter 2 verse 8
Colossians 2 verse 8
Colossians 2 verse 8 says beware lest any man spoil you through
Philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men
After the rudiments of the world and not after Christ for in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead
Bodily so was Jesus Christ a ban yes. He was was he God yes
He was how do you explain that?
Well his God God was his father right this he was the son of Mary who was a human being okay?
But it was is he God the Bible says he is so do we believe that by faith. Yes, we do
I hope you believe that because if you don't believe that Jesus Christ is God then you're not saved
So I know people get mad about that, but that's just the truth
First Timothy 2 5 will just read that for you
It says for there is one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus
Turn to 1st John 5 7 1st John 5 7
So why do we believe in the Trinity well?
I think that this is the clearest verse in the whole Bible of why we would believe the Trinity
Says in 1st John 5 7 for there are three that bear record in heaven the father
The word which is Jesus and the Holy Ghost and these three are one
Why do I believe in the Trinity because the Bible teaches it?
Okay, it's real simple. It's not hard to understand
It's hard to understand once you start delving into all the ins and outs of it
Look, we're not the Bible says it's a mystery. Okay. The great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh
Can you fully understand it and wrap your mind around it I?
Don't think you can
But does the Bible teach it. Yes, it does and does it does does the Bible teach it. Yes, it does and
Do we believe it by faith? Yes, we should right we should believe in the Trinity because the Bible says that that's what it is
Hebrews 1 3
Now some people have an issue with saying well, I don't like calling God persons, and you know who I'm talking about right
You know and but you know when you when you read this verse which I showed that clown this verse right here
Hebrews 1 3 it says who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his
person and
Upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself
Purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high
So people will say oh, I don't because we believe that the Trinity is three persons that make up one God, right?
so
Is Jesus Christ the person?
Yeah, he was
But it says the bright who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person so is God a person
Okay, so what's wrong with saying person? Oh?
I just you know I call it the Godhead the Bible says person right here
So what's the problem? You're just a heretic?
That's the problem
Read the Bible yeah one time
all sudden he's a
Scholar he's Gamaliel come worship at his feet I
Grew up at the feet of Gamaliel Sebastian
He's read the Bible one time he knows more than all the pastors in the movement
You know his he's just been divinely inspired to know all doctrines and what we're preaching is just wrong
I mean people like that. That's why
That's why I warn against you know just being a YouTube only Christian
You got to read the Bible if you don't read the Bible. You're not getting what you need to get you're still a little baby I
Mean you know Dylan preached a sermon about him called spiritual teenage punks, but really
He's a he's a little punk, baby
You know what I mean
He's just a little punk, baby
He's like one of those babies that never get chastised by their parents
You know he's like a actually he's like more like a toddler cuz okay, let's give him credit
He read the Bible one time. He said he's a punk toddler. He's a terrible to person
That's right yeah, he hasn't been born again, so he's not even a spiritual anything. He's a devil child
Devil toddler you know you know the kind of ones on top
Anyway, so what about what do we believe about the virgin birth?
What do we believe about the virgin birth turn to Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14
This is a thing that people like to challenge to in the new modern
perversions
Like to downplay the virgin birth of Christ. They'll say no. It's just a young woman
That doesn't even make sense
Sorry, I'm not turning with you. I got to turn with you. I don't have this one in my notes, but
Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14
If I can ever get there
Isaiah 7 verse 14
So this is the prophecy in the Old Testament about the birth of Jesus Christ
Which is fulfilled in Matthew chapter 1
Says therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign
Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name
Emmanuel
So turn over to Matthew chapter 1
so this is the said the Lord himself will give you a sign a
virgin
shall conceive right and bear a son and call his name Emmanuel so a
Virgin conceiving and burying a son is a miracle of God
It's only happened once all right
And this is the only time it's ever happened now the new versions will say the young woman or whatever
And it's like well
There's a lot of young women how much of a sign is that a young woman will conceive whoo?
Look at the miracle behind that that happens all the time in America
right
this whorish nation that we live in
but
Matthew 1 verse 21 says and and she shall bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus
The Sam get missed that one for he shall save his people from their sins
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophets saying
Behold a virgin shall be with child and shall call shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name
Emmanuel now that God tells us what it means what a manual means right here says which be interpreted is God with us
So the virgin birth was fulfilled by Mary
She was a virgin she had never been with a man the Bible is very clear about that and she's not she wasn't sinless
See the thing is that the Lord Jesus got his nature from God
It's because the the sin nature is passed on through the man. That's the Bible teaches that Romans 5 12
Says wherefore by one man sin entered the world and death by sin so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned
So the sin passes from the father. It's like that
Dads, it's your fault. It's not Eve's fault the the transgression was done by Adam and God held him responsible
And the Bible says that that passed on from from father to child
so Mary had a sin nature, but it did not pass on to Jesus because
The he had the nature of his father, which is God okay does that make sense so?
So God with us that me that's another proof right there the Jesus Christ is God
Okay, his name was Emmanuel. That's what means God with us
so
And then what do we believe about hell?
Do we believe in purgatory?
No, I hope not
Hope there's no Catholics hiding in the congregation anywhere
So where do unsaved people go when they die the Bible teaches they go to a place called hell turn over Luke chapter 16
Luke chapter 16
Luke chapter 16 verse number 19
Bible says there was a certain rich man
Which was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day, and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus
Which was laid at the gate full of sores and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table
Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores
And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom and the rich man
Also died and was buried and in hell
He lift up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom
So where did Lazarus go? I mean, where did the rich man go the moment he died?
Where did he wake up in hell?
Doesn't say purgatory and so we believe that once someone dies
The Bible says there's a point under man wants to die and after this the judgment
See that just flies in the face of all these people
That believe you're reincarnated into earthworms and what the Hindus believe they believe they do believe in hell
but they believe you can get out of hell and
That you can go and then you're transformed or they say that you're in hell right now
See have you ever heard people say that when you're at their door. They're like well. I believe we're in hell right now
you know where they get that from the Hindus you know they get that from Satan and
You know we don't believe that at all and that's why we're going to warning people because you only have one chance in this life
and if you don't get saved you're going to hell and
I talked to an 85 year old
sheik or something from you know he was his religion was Islam and
Before I left I made sure that he knew he was going to hell
And I was nice about it because I'm at his door, but you can only be so not I mean how nice
Can you be about telling someone going to hell you know you're going to hell?
You know
Can't be like that. You have to just matter-of-factly say it
Say hey, I'm not trying to offend you or anything like this
But the Bible says if you don't believe in the son of God if you don't believe that Jesus Christ is God
You're going to go to hell
I
Believe that guy was a false prophet because obviously he he already had his like skull cap on and like his white dress
He was going to the mosque or whatever that day. He came out. He just started blasting me with all the things they believe
And one of the things he was saying which is so ridiculous that I can't even believe that they that they
Count this as something they believe, but he said that they believe
that
They believe that Jesus was replaced
You know they believe that Jesus was a prophet, but he was replaced they believe in replacement theology
also that he was replaced by another person and
That allah made his face look like Jesus's and they crucified some other guy
Well, that's real nice of you all other crucify some guy that didn't deserve it
I mean, that's weird, but the fact that they believe that Jesus didn't really die on the cross. They're just that's blasphemy
They believe that Jesus is in heaven. He's going to come back and kill all the infidels with the imam Mahdi, right?
Really what they believe is they believe in the antichrist
So that imam Mahdi or whatever is probably going to be you know the false prophet or the whatever
One of the antichrists or the false prophet Jesus will probably their Jesus will probably be you know the false prophet
So but you know he believed that you know it was a face change that happened at the end
He was a shape-shifter or something you know why would why would if he's a good God?
Why would he put some other person on the cross that didn't deserve it?
And what is the whole point of doing that in the first place?
They just don't want them to believe in the death burial and resurrection and so they teach that stupidity in
Their churches or whatever you want to call them their Senate there. What are they called mosque? Yeah? I almost said synagogue
It's kind of the same thing though anyway
So but the Bible teaches that that you're going to go to hell if you die without Christ
That's why we warn people how long is the penalty of hell last we'll turn over to mark chapter 9 verse 42
We've got two more sets of scriptures to go to and I'm gonna be done all right mark chapter 9 verse 42
The Bible says for whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me
It is better for him than a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea
It's a warning to all the pedophiles right and if I hand offend he cut it off for it is better
Or excuse me it is better for thee
To enter into life maimed than having two hands to go into hell into the fire that never shall be quenched
How long's never?
It's never it's that it's forever never right
But it says where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched is the fire ever quenched
Do they ever get a cup of water? Do they ever get a drop of water? No?
It says the fire that it's never shall be quenched if I foot offend he cut it off
It's better for thee to enter into halt
Or halt into life than to have two feet be casted to hell into the fire that never shall be quenched
Anything Jesus being repetitive here for a reason?
Yeah, look at verse 46 where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched and if thine eye
Offend he pluck it out
It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye
Than having two eyes to be casted to hell fire
Where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched how many times did he say the fire is not quenched four times right there
Is it ever gonna be quenched? No it lasts forever. Just like eternal life lasts forever eternal death lasts forever, too
And last scripture we're gonna turn to this morning
revelation chapter 14
verse number 9
revelation 14
verse number 9
says in the angel followed him or followed them saying with a loud voice if any man worship the beast and
His image and receive his mark in their forehead or in his hand the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God
Which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation, and he shall be tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb and
The smoke of their torment
Ascendeth up forever and ever and they shall have no rest
Day nor night who worship the beast and his image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name
So the Bible is very clear here. You're tormented with fire the smoke of your torment ascendeth up forever and ever that's eternal death
And they shall have no rest day nor night. That's torture
People say oh you believe in a guy that tortures people yeah
Yeah, that's why we're here at your door dummy. That's why we want you to get saved
You know and they're like
Saying you know they're like saying I'd rather go to hell than believe there is one. That's basically what they're saying I
Well, I don't believe in a God that would throw someone into hell
Well, then you don't believe in God at all because the God that you believe in is a figment of your imagination
It says you'll have no rest day or night, that's
That's scary
Looking if you're not scared about hell you better start getting scared about it because it's true. It's the truth
You know some people just don't like the truth. They can't handle the truth
so
With that I'm gonna close. I do have some more topics. I'm gonna talk about tonight, so let's have a word of prayer
Heavenly Father we thank you Lord so much for your word and Lord just being clear on our doctrine
I just want people to know what we believe and
Lord we just skim the surface on a lot of these things a lot of these
Facts could be whole sermons by themselves the Lord
I just want people to get a brief understanding of what we believe I pray Lord that everybody in here
Would read their Bibles Lord and that they would pray and what they would grow spiritually and our church would thrive in Jesus name
Amen
