Donsa Free Reformed Church of Mount Nasura in 2022.
-
Brothers and sisters, Sunday after Sunday we gather here for
-
public worship at Lord's Day. Marami details now Hindi

-
You Mata Mata, you put Harappan and even your technical people
-

-
power and they take part nangi but ibang roles.
-
But besides all that detail, there's something else more
-
vital than any other, and that is the Word of God.
-
It is the word of God that is the supreme element of our
-
worship. It is the most crucial element
-
of our worship. Whenever God's people gather for
-
worship, God wants his word to be open.
-
He wants his word to be explained faithfully by one of
-
his ministers or his elders, and he wants it to be listened to
-
carefully by his congregation. So Karina Binasa Ponatno
-
Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 35.
-
So when the Catechism explained the second commandment because
-
that's about the second commandment, there is a strong
-
emphasis on the word of God have been God wants his people to be
-
taught by the living preaching of his word and that is in
-
question and answer number 98. It is the Word that is what we
-
need, for the Word teaches us about our Lord and our Saviour
-
Jesus Christ and what He has done for us.
-
It is the Word that teaches us how to live and it is the Word
-
that teaches us what God expects from us.
-
That's why this is the focus of our preaching this afternoon and
-
this is the focus of the second commandment and it is through
-
worship. So right now we will listen to
-
this sermon with the title Through worship requires the
-
true word. You happen that long ceremony,
-
point number one. Watch out for false teachers,
-
Pangalawa. Listen to the truth.
-
And the Third Point is put the truth into practice.
-
But before that, let's go to the Lord in prayer.
-
Father, we thank You for this glorious opportunity to see it
-
again under the preaching of Your Word.
-
We pray that You open our ears and You open our eyes and our
-
hearts so that we may see the beauty of Your teachings.
-
I pray that You give us attentiveness.
-
I pray that You give us the heart to receive the preaching,
-
not as words of men, but as word of God.
-
And As for me, as I deliver this message, I pray that you give me
-
a humble heart. May you help me remember that
-
it's not about me, it's not about my opinion, but it's all
-
for your glory. So both the deliverer of the
-
message and those who are hearing your word, may we all be
-
faithful in delivering it and listening to it.
-
So help us God and may you, may your name be glorified this
-
afternoon. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
-
So let's go to our first point, and that is watch out for false
-
teachers. In Lord's Day 35, the catechism
-
warns against a couple of bad practices, some satin done when
-
it comes to public worship. We mentioned dito, that we
-
should not resort to idols, so we should not create images, or
-
we should not create statutes. Statutes, and then we should not
-
worship them. Dial ansabi pusat in Sausalito.
-
You shall not make for yourself a carved image and that means we
-
should not make an image of God in anyway and worship them.
-
So not even when we are trying to teach our children or we are
-
trying to instruct the congregation in Hindi pictures.
-
Marunong at ECP 19 said this is a more effective way of
-
conveying the truths about God because we are not wiser than
-
God. The catechism gives us a second
-
warning tool and this warning is do not worship God in any other
-
manner than that what he has commanded in his word.
-
So at the point Galingan Nang doctrines are Reformed theology
-
about the regulative principle of worship.
-
Some B sabihin magoo worship in accordance to what God has
-
taught in his Word and this instruction is a more general
-
warning and its emphasis is its emphasis is our worship must be
-
in accordance with the word of God.
-
Now, some churches still makes use of images in worship.
-
Kappa is a Roman Catholic Church.
-
Haha images some of them say say the Hinami into window worship
-
pero Minsan Mahuli Nathaniel, Ivan and Roman Catholic Church
-
and you or you don't. And they still pray to those
-
carved images and statues and in other churches naman Makita
-
naman natin that they are doing worship in a manner that is
-
contrary to the word of God. So this is something that we
-
must also be aware to or we must also be cautious about.
-
We must be cautious that our worship will not be empty and
-
ritualistic, but at the same time we must be cautious that
-
our worship will not be man centered.
-
But we want to focus on a different warning this afternoon
-
at your warning NATO in Nabasa Punat Insa Matthew 7.
-
And the warning is the warning of Jesus about false prophets.
-
For if true worship requires the true word, then we must be on
-
guard against the twisting of God's word at unity.
-
Twisting words my God, are you mangolds prophets now in his
-
opening words on this topic, the juice will not be shocked or the
-
audience will not be shocked when Jesus said watch out for
-
false prophets darling Denaple bago simaudio Nami encounter
-
namanga false prophets in the Old Testament Napa Haramipan
-
false prophets Kanilang Lugar. I'm saving up with Owens,
-
Salitan, Angus. They come to you in sheep's
-
clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
-
That's why this is no surprise for them.
-
Actually, in Zephaniah 3-4, the Word of God talks about profits
-
that are arrogant and are treacherous men.
-
So if you haven't managed to toropo Samantha, Israelites are
-
at that time. They are false prophets and they
-
are treacherous, fascinating, treacherous.
-
They are deceitful men. That's why Jesus says that such
-
people are still around. So you false prophets in Milan
-
Puyan existing so Old Testament, but it was existing at the time
-
of Jesus. That's why Jesus is warning his
-
people about this wolves in sheep clothing.
-
When we hear the expression wolves in sheep clothing we
-
understand it in a fantasy or in a fable way apparently.
-
Imagine Punati Neumann had drawings among our children's
-
book Concern me my wolf naked costume Nang sheep.
-
So you work in sheep clothing. It is it predatory that is
-
undercover. However, there is probably a
-
better way to understand this image about the wolf in sheep
-
clothing in Israel or in the Old Testament Israel prophets of the
-
Lord of often war a certain kind of clothes and that is a heery
-
cloak. Kayanga Babalikan Nathan human
-
attacks about Elijah. I'm Sapudu Elijah, he's wearing
-
a garment of here and then do my thing.
-
You will see John the Baptist in the New Testament, which is
-
actually Elijah in the Old Testament, but but not the
-
reincarnation, but he is the Elijah that is to come.
-
So then the baptism is also wearing a garment that is made
-
out of the skin of camel. So Kalapu Nadin before see
-
Elijah Lang or Sijaenda Baptist Langsung prophet Nagsusuot Nang
-
nang balata animal. But actually wearing our fur
-
clothing or garment of hair is actually very common among
-
profits to the point that you apple nang cloak nawasa hair or
-
Zabaleta animal it it almost became like the uniform of the
-
prophets. That's why it is very, very,
-
very misleading. It was so recognizable and
-
outfit like this could lead people astray.
-
So estimate now isn't lacking may court Nagawa safer or Dawasa
-
blatant Hayo and that person says that he is speaking the
-
word of God or he is prophesying about the word of God.
-
People can be easily led astray. But as Sakarias said, Sequayah
-
13 verse 4 put on a proper garments, put on a profits
-
garment of here in order to deceive, so it will pull your
-
characteristic Mama false prophet.
-
They put on a garment of here to deceive other people.
-
It means that false prophet might be hard to spot the helium
-
uniform Nila uniform profit and not only that they look
-
presentable. They uses the right language,
-
but they might as well be a deceiver.
-
So let's watch out Christ noon after young Maladi to Simondo
-
and if they even after the apostles die, many false
-
prophets will come to toward the word of God.
-
That's why if we will go to the history of the church.
-
There are a lot of false prophets and false teachers like
-
are use Pelagus and Marshawn and many more.
-
The history of the church is full of false prophets and all
-
of the confusion that they have caused to the church.
-
And as we said, this message hit home with the audience in Jesus
-
time. But the question is, is still?
-
Is it still relevant in our time?
-
Well, the answer to that is yes. Hindi po mahirap maghanap nang
-
false prophets of Filipinas. Actually, we already have our
-
very own local false Messiah blog about K Apollo Quiboloy
-
Gravity Nang Success False Preacher is this is a Pinaka
-
Mayama false teacher and for a moment maling sense of pride can
-
say an excellent burying health profit today so that excel
-
sports or not excelsa some business or other things.
-
But we have our very own false prophets and we have our very
-
own modern apostles, dito Lang pusa emos meranti Ansari nothing
-
apostles. So Jesus said that in the last
-
days Kasabian amiga news about wars, rumours about wars,
-
persecution, Kasabay punito arise now false prophet and the
-
anti Christ Canadian warning Putney Jesus now beware of false
-
prophets. It does not only apply to his
-
time. It does not only apply in the
-
Old Testament, but it is also applies to our time.
-
Then crisis. Beware of those who will harm
-
you by their teaching. Beware of those who look and act
-
and sound outwardly acceptable. In other words, we must be
-
careful of who we listen to. The Word of God, the word of
-
salvation. The gospel is too important for
-
us to hear it from any just random sources.
-
Today there are many who claim to be teachers of the Word of
-
God, preachers and explainers of God's Word.
-
We can see them in the Internet. We can see them in YouTube.
-
Make it an agency as a television.
-
Make it an latest books articles.
-
Make it an Magagandang Bangla, smiling face, salika kanilang,
-
masika namanga libro. They even have their own blogs
-
and they have their own podcast. So your product among Apollo's
-
teachers are very, very prominent.
-
They are very spread out in this day and age so we probably never
-
had the better access to a huge range of Christian teachers and
-
preachers. Dials up pogboom nang advent of
-
the Internet instruments or namanga articles and
-
instructional materials for the Gospel.
-
And actually that is not really a bad thing.
-
That is a good thing. Phone Dalaman and reform faith
-
through YouTube Hindi naman 100% reform you having the backing
-
and that is Paul washer. But it led me there after
-
copying the Paul washer and put John MacArthur and Napunta RC
-
Sproul unpack boom nang informations Internet.
-
It's not really a bad thing. I think the nothing nothing that
-
but disregard human books just because we found them in the
-
Internet or we found them in Google.
-
Indeed, false features. However, Jesus reminds us that
-
we have to test these things. We have to test every spirit.
-
Kilimanjaro and careful sifting of whatever we hear in the
-
Internet or in YouTube message. There must be a ring a bell that
-
will ring in our mind. NASA beans attend it will
-
message Banato. Is it backed up by the
-
scriptures or how does it compare to our reformed
-
confession? So Hindi sangap, nang tanga, so
-
every sermon, even songs, whatever we take in, we have to
-
test them. Even the very sermon that I'm
-
giving to you right now in the new the Robin Braden Hoff
-
Namanya and lagging change pin No, everything requires testing.
-
The danger comes when we grow careless about doctrine, when we
-
we become fuzzy around the edges.
-
Now, after years of instruction, young acting manga anak not a
-
undergoing Sunday school, and then later on our classes
-
Narinig Gillian Heidelberg Catechism.
-
Sunday in and Sunday out we will develop our knowledge about
-
theology, but it's not possible that we can forget them.
-
Dial me tendency. Tyanna Simula Church We are so
-
excited about learning new about theology.
-
Pagnatapos Naputi is acting inquiries class at Natapus Napu
-
acting profession of faith and the gigging lacks satin pagaaral
-
no word of God, so you're dating knowledge not in the sharp.
-
It becomes blunted, and the moment we become cold in our
-
theology, that is the time that we lose our discernment against
-
false teachers. One thing to look out for about
-
false teaching is that it often leads to worshipping in a human
-
centered way. Jesus speaks about noticing the
-
fruit that comes from false teaching and one of the fruits
-
is the fruit of worship. So Mikita pun natin kung isang
-
church I benona isang false teacher in the manner by which
-
they worship. So if their worship is human
-
centered, if their worship is focused more not about the glory
-
and the holiness of God, but its focus on the emotions of the
-
people, then most often than not that church is a false church
-
and it is being led by a false teacher.
-
But not only that, my adding churches nafals because they
-
focus on emotionalism, their worship is so human centered,
-
but on the other way around, our worship can become dry, it can
-
become dead and it become ritualistic.
-
At Bakit Mangyari Yun, it happens when we became careless
-
about doctrine. It reflects on the way we
-
worship. So it doesn't matter if you know
-
all of the Reformed theologies, just a worship or as a Lord's
-
day. Well, I think you know when the
-
Homica or Matulog or Antokin, although I can see who is
-
struggling, OK. I can see here in France you are
-
in the battle to stay awake, to stay alive, OK?
-
Any incidental marine. But if that becomes a habit,
-
that every Sunday there's a dryness, there's a lack of life,
-
and what's left here is just boredom.
-
Even if our theology is correct, there must be something wrong
-
about our heart. It means that we have grown a
-
little bit too tired of God, and that is still wrong.
-
Katulad nung, emotionalism. So these are the kind of bad
-
fruits, Bad fruits. Nakulangan.
-
Nothing. Avoid Atma, avoid nothing,
-
careless, said doctrine. But it is true that preaching of
-
the Word, that the preaching of the Word encourages through
-
worship. So if we are going to avoid the
-
false teachers, what will be our alternative?
-
What can you say about the true worship of the Lord?
-
So there's a passage in Hosea, which I think you are familiar
-
with. And this passage was written at
-
a time when the Israelites became unfaithful to God.
-
So they bowed their knees to other idols and they forget
-
about their covenant with God. And the verse in Josiah says
-
this. My people are destroyed for lack
-
of knowledge. My people are destroyed for lack
-
of knowledge. So the Israelites, they don't
-
know how to obey God, they don't know their obligations, they
-
don't know the promises of God. And who among them will know if
-
they already turn their back against God?
-
Well, the problem here does not only lie with the leadership by
-
parting Pudikum Mangatal, because the people themselves,
-
they forget about God, they forget about the word of God.
-
But Josiah primarily put the blame on the prophets and the
-
priest in their time because it is the priest who are commanded
-
by God to open the Word guide to the people, to explain God's law
-
to the people so that they will know how to live at Dito pupa
-
Pasok. You're adding second point.
-
And our second point is that we should listen to the truth both
-
then and now. God's people need godly wisdom
-
and holy instruction. So if the church is destroyed
-
from a lack of knowledge, imagine you.
-
Imagine you. The Lamb is a church if the
-
Church is being fed with the right holy things at imagining
-
you nalang if any feeds at and through teachings through
-
theology is something that is sipan but but in the express
-
nations adding so if people are destroyed with lack of wisdom.
-
Those people who are fed with the true doctrines of God will
-
be blessed by far so magiging blessed Paul an acting church if
-
we will focus on the listening of God's word.
-
As we said, that's a big emphasis of the second
-
commandment. The emphasis is that God wants
-
his people to be taught by the living preaching of his word.
-
The Word is what the church needs in order to thrive and to
-
grow and to worship. But that of course will raise a
-
question about preaching chasing rabbits at in Heidelberg atheism
-
that God wants his people to be taught by the living preaching
-
of His Word. Then what do we mean by the
-
living preaching of His Word? When can we say that the
-
preaching of God's Word is the living preaching?
-
Or when we go to Belgium confessions in APU Satin and
-
Belgium Confession that one of the marks of a true church is
-
the pure preaching of the gospel.
-
The question is when is the preaching of the gospel pure?
-
Now there are a lot of materials and articles that we can dig in
-
Baramulla, Manati and Magneto. But since we have a very limited
-
time, we can restrict ourselves a bit to the example that is
-
given by our Lord in the Sermon on the Mount.
-
So in Binasa punati kanina sa match seven, that is the sermon
-
of the amount and we can learn from the example of our Lord and
-
Saviour Jesus Christ. So our Lord Jesus is also a a
-
preacher. So terminating if he is a
-
preacher, then how did he do his task?
-
I know Martin Sabina and Sati Masari preach Jesus C Jesus une
-
and somehow that is true. There is a reason why Jesus is
-
called our cheap teacher and our cheap prophet because no one can
-
match Jesus. He's our supreme teacher and he
-
stands above all preachers. However, there is value if we
-
will only look at how he does preaching at Matututo puta Ayo
-
the on so on observation attends preaching Jesus.
-
Sermon on the mount #1 He sees that his sermon is very God
-
centered. Throughout the ceremony of the
-
mount, Jesus confronts us with the overwhelming majesty and
-
holiness and grace of God. These are preaching Jesus in
-
Abuja Pusat in that we should seek first the Kingdom of God in
-
all of his righteousness. When Jesus is preaching, lagging
-
under the onion, holiness, *** young glory, God and your
-
majesty and God, and that is faithful preaching.
-
Faithful preaching is God centered.
-
It's not about us, it's not about our experience, it's not
-
about our jokes. It's about the holiness of God.
-
So faithful preaching is God centered.
-
Second, his sermon was also very scriptural.
-
So your ceremony Jesus Christ a sermon of the mouth that it is
-
that in itself is is scriptures already survival Babasahin
-
punati neon you're preaching the Christ is still based on the Old
-
Testament, so he does not speak on his own, but Kundi palaging
-
Shameron biblical basis from the Old Testament.
-
That's why when Jesus preach, authority feels there.
-
And there are some preachings, the Parang walang, Thomas added
-
in Bakit. Because most of the time those
-
preachings are about the preacher's opinion, the the
-
preacher's political views, and there is no authority in that.
-
We only derive our authority when we base our preaching from
-
the Word of God. And that is how Jesus Christ
-
does it. He is already the Son of God,
-
yet when he preached, he preached out of the Old
-
Testament. Hence, the second thing that we
-
will learn about this is that faithful preaching is true to
-
the scriptures. Another one Christ sermon was
-
very practical capacity. Jesus Christ Susan Young manga
-
audience, but go with you. There are there is something
-
that they have to do. There is something that they
-
have to apply in their lives and that separates lecturer from
-
preaching not a *** puta in and preaching the parang lecturer in
-
advancing difference known Kapag lecture.
-
It's only a transfer of knowledge.
-
It could be theological, technically doctrinal knowledge.
-
Nathan monument. But if we will not include
-
practical applications to that, that's nothing but lecture
-
action lecture. Usually Ginagawa samosa minari
-
Ginagawa Samantha school. But whenever we meet during
-
Lord's Day, what we need is the proclamation of the Word of God
-
together with the practical application.
-
Because in deep wedding lumalala clang adding knowledge about
-
theology, but we don't know how to apply it in our lives.
-
Nathan Daniel. In one of our Sunday school
-
sessions, we mention that the wisdom is the application of
-
knowledge. So if the preaching is about the
-
transfer of knowledge pero Hindi your knowledge, then there is no
-
wisdom in there. But if we will follow the
-
example of Jesus Christ, they know how to relate the message
-
to their lives because faithful preaching is always practical.
-
And then again in the sermon of Jesus Christ, we will notice
-
that Christ doesn't mention himself Abdullah inshallah about
-
himself. That's why the servant of the
-
amount. We cannot call it a sermon that
-
is Christ centered in a technical way.
-
But there is a reason behind that.
-
It's because there is no cross yet independent amazing Jesus
-
will happen ascension. That's why Hindi but himself
-
during those times. However, we can see there that
-
he's giving hints about his importance in his preaching in
-
the Sermon on the Mount. One thing that he mentioned is
-
that small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to
-
everlasting life. But then later on Marilyn
-
Ignatian Sigismund preached that he is the door and then later on
-
he will say that he is the way, the truth and the life.
-
So even though Hindi directly in that we preach Jesus about
-
Sarilini during those times, make it a Barina, then Jesus is
-
still pertaining to himself. Brandon is that faithful
-
preaching is always Christ centered.
-
Faithful preaching is always Christ centered.
-
So these are just a few of the qualities of Christ sermon
-
standing as a good model for Christian preachers today and
-
such kind of preaching kapag, I'm preaching to I God centered.
-
If it is scriptural, if it is practical and if it is Christ
-
centered, it will always have an impactful effect on the church.
-
After the preaching, the Jesus and the reaction of material and
-
reaction Matao is that they are amazed.
-
They are amazed by the preaching of Jesus.
-
Petrol. Listen to the word petrol since
-
I started. The second point will be about
-
preaching the word. So now let's go about what does
-
this mean to those who are sitting in the church?
-
Can you put the Nakikinig preaching?
-
Well this means that we all have to listen carefully because what
-
we are hearing isn't just the ministers well considered
-
opinion. Are you interested in preaching?
-
We cannot just tune out Hindi, poti, operating parallax, Scroll
-
down or Hindi not including channel or hitching post yung
-
isang podcast when we are listening under the preaching of
-
God's Word every Sunday. We must listen as if we are not
-
hearing the opinions of the preachers, but we are listening
-
to the very words of God. That is the way we should
-
listen. Think of the way Paul praises
-
the Thessalonians and by your comment, DePaul, Samantha,
-
Tessalon, Onions and Sabina. When you receive the Word of
-
God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word
-
of men, but as it actually is, the Word of God.
-
That is what makes the Thessalonians great in the sight
-
of the Apostle Paul, because when they listen to the
-
preaching, in the parang, preaching Langdale, but they
-
listen to it as if they are listening to the very words of
-
God. Then if we will do this, if we
-
will preach in the way Jesus preach, and if we will listen in
-
the way God wants us to listen, then preaching can be even
-
amazing, be amazing to the people.
-
Again, every Sunday we can stand the Mace.
-
Again. He did another Kailangan, my
-
board or Matulog, every preaching.
-
But every preaching we can say that this is our Father and this
-
is our God, that this is what He has done for us in Jesus Christ,
-
and this is the glorious privilege He gave us, the
-
privilege of serving Him and living for Him.
-
Now let's go to our third and last point.
-
Let us put the truth into practice now.
-
Whenever we are busy with Sunday worship, there is a danger that
-
we make a separation or the difference between how we
-
accepted the word here and how we lived our life.
-
The next coming week, Mariposa saying pumunta tayo ship service
-
and everything is doing well. We are presentable tamayo at
-
IMAD Dress code Pilda or not, alongside Marine Anthemic
-
Stadium album 1 and then Cape in Lagi Tyagi Amens are preaching
-
nang atimana preachers. However, if the preaching will
-
not show in our lives the next week, then it really doesn't
-
have any effect in us. The Bible says that if you are a
-
follower of Jesus Christ, your life will change and that means
-
Maggie ebaying the way we work, Maggie ebaying the way we relax,
-
the way we deal with our children or the way we deal with
-
our friends and with our neighbors.
-
If we are a Christian then we will consider Christ not only as
-
our Saviour but our Lord as well.
-
A cappuccino. Consider not Insha as our Lord,
-
then we will listen to Him about how to live our life better.
-
And Emmanuel Sabina, we will strive to do them.
-
So this is the point. Jesus wants to save for us.
-
At the end of his sermon, he says to the crowd, not everyone
-
who says to me, Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but
-
only those who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
-
Because everyone can be impressed by God's word.
-
Everyone can be amazed by God's word, fine.
-
But we should do better than that.
-
We should apply the word of God in our lives.
-
We should put it into practice, and that is how it must be.
-
Until today, anyone can sit in church every Sunday, hear the
-
Word, nod their head, and even give a compliment to the
-
preacher. But that is not the response
-
that God wants from us. The response that God wants from
-
us is the application of the Word in our lives.
-
Jesus says that on the last day He will declare to some of those
-
who listen to the sermons every Sunday, depart from me.
-
I never knew you away from me, you workers of iniquity.
-
And I have read somewhere, and I totally agree that this is one
-
of the most frightening statements in the Bible.
-
And why? Because the statement of Jesus
-
depart from me. I never knew you.

It's not given to the Buddhist. It was not given to the Muslims.
-
It was not given to the atheist, but it was given to Christians.
-
It was given to people who called themselves Christians who
-
sit in the preaching of the Word every Sunday but did not apply
-
the Word of God in their lives. That is what what?
-
That's what's making it so frightening because even
-
Christians can hear those frightening words from the mouth
-
of our Saviour. Crisis.
-
Having heard the Word, you have to do the Word, which means
-
we're not quickly done with the sermon.

You 2 are snapping or you 4 are snapping every Sunday at a push.
-
But we have to apply the Word of God throughout the whole week.
-
That's why we need to come to the church every Sunday.
-
But we have to spread the word of God in our lives seven days
-
of the week. The helicopter, Mahali Mountain
-
Nanito. We need the Word of God everyday
-
to remind us about His mercy. We need a word of God everyday
-
to remind us or to give us a warning against the fatal powers
-
of temptation against the powers of sin.
-
And we need the Word of God to keep teaching us what we must do
-
to bring praise to our God. So Jesus finished his sermon
-
with this exhortation. Therefore, everyone who hears
-
these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a
-
wise man who built his house on the rock.
-
Like in any other place. Papagawa bahai nothing building.

is not careful my adding my Samsung dried up bed of river,
-
try the better flavour darting Ilugun payroll so too big it has
-
to be survivable is that the house will have a great full.
-
And what does that say to us, the people who listen to the
-
word of God and do not apply the word of God in their lives?
-
They are like the people who built their house on sand.

But it will fall in great will be its fall Kappa news about

They preached the word of God, they listen to the word of God

The paranormal, but actually in his private life he stopped
-
applying the word of God. I thought the meeting new
-
malaking temptation, scandalous temptation.
-
Great will be his fall, and that is the image that that Jesus
-
wants to show to us. And this is not only through
-
about the earthly repercussion of our sins, but ultimately it
-
is true in the judgment of Christ in the second coming of
-
Christ. Casey done throughout our lives,
-
we will build our ministries. We will build our lives now.

Not church they will think and judgment day OK parang sabi
-
satins is scriptures. If you will listen to the word
-
of God and you will not apply it to your life.
-
You are building your house on a sand nakapag dumating you flood,
-
your house will fall and great will be its fall.
-
And that is true in the judgment day no matter how good our
-
public life is. But if in our private life we
-
are not applying the Word of God in the judgment day, we will be
-
judged and Christ will tell us. Depart from me.
-
I never knew you, you workers of iniquity.
-
So beloved God calls us to take God's word home today and build
-
on it after this this preaching, how are we going to build on
-
God's word Kakalimutan lambat into and then we will proceed to
-
whatever business that we will have Gwyneth Sai after Veneto
-
and Netflix or or are we going to review the word of God?
-
Are we going to review it again? Are we going to meditate on it?
-
Pray about IT company to your place adding Manabu hai.
-
If that will be our practice magkapatid, then the other thing
-
that Jesus said about us will be true as well.
-
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and
-
beat against that house, yet it did not fall because it had its
-
foundation on the rock. That's what will happen for
-
people who know that only listen to the Word of God, read the
-
Word of God, but also obey the Word of God.
-
So every Sunday, again, we're getting lesson in how to build
-
on the rock on our 11 foundation.
-
So as we hear the Word, let us meditate on it, remember it,
-
consider it. As we hear the Word, let us put
-
the word into practice. In this way we will present, we
-
will present God our Saviour, not just with a day of worship,
-
but a life of worship pleasing to him.
-
Amen.
