It's For Your Joy - Bro Jeremy Howell 8-18-2024

Look at your neighbor and say, hey, neighbor, this is

for your joy all right. If you have your copy

of the King James Translation of kJ T, would you

turn with me to the Book of Second Corinthians. May

I direct your attention to the first chapter and the

twenty third and twenty fourth verses.

That twenty fourth.

Verse is the last verse of the verse chapter. We

will venture further going down to probably the fourth verse

of the second chapter.

After we stand for the reading.

Of God's word, I would like for Brother Jesse to

turn with us to the Book of Hebrews. May I

direct your attention to the twelfth chapter and the eleventh verse.

Brother Nathaniel Luke, chapter number twenty two versus number twenty

five in twenty six, you won't look great this morning?

How many of you have been good to the Lord?

In recent days? You've been good to the Lord? Any

of you can say that the Lord has been good

to you? All?

You're quicker to answer that. Praise the Lord.

We missed Sister Neeli this morning, and sister he'll Brother

Nathaniel lut chapter number twenty two versus number twenty five

and twenty six, y'all listen carefully as our brother reads

these scripture verses, and he said, unto them, the kings

of the gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that

exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

But he shall not be so, but he that is

greatest among you, let him be as a younger, and

he that is chief, as he that doth serve. Brother

Jesse Lout Chapter Hebrews, chapter number twelve, verse number eleven.

Now, no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous,

but grievous. Nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of

righteousness under them, which aren't exercised thereby.

So no time of.

Correction seems to be a joy as occasion. But afterwards

it will yield. It'll bring forth wonderful things, peaceful fruits

of righteousness. Let's stand for the reading of our text.

Second Corinthians, Chapter number one, Verses number twenty three and

twenty four. We will probably continue reading the Bible. Says moreover,

I call God for a record upon my soul, that

to spare you I camenot as Yet unto corinth notice

that to spare you I came not Verse number twenty

four not for that we have dominion over your faith,

but our helpers of your joy.

For by faith ye stand.

Notice the latter part again, but our helpers of your joy.

For by faith ye stand.

But I determined this within myself, that I would not

come again to you in heaviness. In other words, the

next time I come to you, I want to be

able to come with a smile upon my faith, and

not with my heart broken Verse number two. For if

I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh

me glad?

But the same which is made sorry by me?

And I wrote this same unto you, lest when I came,

I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought

to rejoice, having confidence.

In you all, that my joy is the joy of

you all.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I

wrote unto you with many tears, not that you should

be grieved, but that you might know the love which

I have more.

Abundantly unto you.

People had misinterpreted and misunderstood what Paul had said, and

his heart had been broken because of the slender.

And the gossip that ensued.

Let's pray, Heavenly Father, we love it, we praise you,

we thank you for your goodness.

We thank you for your mercy. We do thank you.

God for saints gathered together as such a place, the

House of God. I pray that you would annoyt this

thy servant said of God at my mouth, and help

me to say only the things that you would have

me to say, nothing more or less than anoint the

ears of this thy people, that they might hear what

the spirit of God says.

Or to this church Lord, not of my words, but

of your words. Let them hear.

We pray.

Let these sayings go below the shoulders, go into that heart.

God saturate the spirit and the soul of this precious people.

We may ask you, God, even now, if you would

allow us to depart this place joyfully and non sorrowfully.

In Jesus' name. In the church says.

Amen, I want you to look at your neighbor once

again and say, hey, neighbor, what he's doing is for

your joy, not for his joy. Again saying what he

is doing is for your joy, not for his joy.

Hey may look at verses number twenty three and twenty four.

Again the Bible said, moreover, I called God for a

record upon.

My soul that to spare you.

I came not as yet unto corinth not for that

we have dominion over your faith, but.

Are helpers of your joy. For by faith ye stand.

Our text is founded a New Testament book of the

Holy Bible, the Book.

Of Second Corinthians.

This book is known as an epistle of the Great and.

Beloved Apostle Paul.

The Apostle Paul wrote two letters or epistles, which he

addressed to the believers in corinth Believes that believed in

Jesus Christ as Messiah, the one that had come as

the redeemer.

Of mankind, the Son of God.

Believers people like you and I that had gathered together

in the local assembly.

In that place designated for worship of the King of

Kings and the Lord of Lords. Apostle Paul addresses and

directs the words of these epistles to those people. Now

you must understand that these people are the product of

the Apostle Paul's ministry. He had entered into this realm

or this region, and he had pioneered or planted.

A church, and the church was not surviving, it was thriving.

But after some time, I believe, after a year and

a half or so, Apostle Paul had believe this area,

and him being the missionary that he was, he ventured

into other parts of the world. And after some time,

while this great Man of God is up in a

distant place ministering, he receives word from members of this church.

A selected courier had brought him.

Word that there were some problems in this local assembly.

You don't remember a time with the great Apostle Paul said,

One of my greatest burdens is simply this caring for

the flock of Jesus Christ, being an overseer of the flock,

being that church planner.

Not only that church planner.

But to be the one that follows up and checks.

On the progress and puts his finger on the pulse

and sees if there's been any spiritual progress or any

developmental issues.

How many of you know that we need more of

this today. I feel like if a lot of ministers

or pastors were to do more of this, that congregants

would say he is micro managing us, or that he

is interfering with our daily routines and activities, and that

he needs to mind his own business. But as you

study the writings of the New Testament, a lot of

those writings of the Apostle Paul. In fact, I believe

he wrote more than half of the writings that you

find in these New Testaments.

And there is no doubt that the Apostle Paul.

Certainly had wonderful credentials and was undoubtedly qualified to be

such a person to put pim to parchment and to

put in writing specific in struggles and goidelines for members

of the early Church. In fact, could he not say,

as I preached several years ago, he had experienced a

spiritual metamorphosis.

How many of y'all remember that message that I.

Preached on a spiritual metamorphosis.

I thank God that Apostle Paul could.

Teach and preach from a personal experience.

He too had once had his eyes closed.

Relention, specifically, the relention of Judaism had put blindness on

his eyes. And you will remember that the Apostle Paul.

Said, spiritually scales had fallen.

From his eyes, and he was able to see things clearly,

one of them being he was able to see that

Jesus Christ, in fact, was he that was.

To come, and that he did, and that he.

Was crucified and buried, and that again lay in a

borrow two for three days, and after three days he

was resurrected the great Apostle. Paul became an apostle because of.

This experience that he experienced on.

This road he called the road of Damascus. Most of

y'all will remember that in his hands he held permission

slips to persecute Christians, all said, to bring them back

to the elders of the.

Religion of jeu Naism.

And the government officials of Rome had turned a blind

eye and turned their head to this severe persecution of

this new power religion of Christianity. And Paul was having

a heyday persecuting people such as you and I and

people that had been converted from a Judaism and pagan

religions unto Christianity.

And so Paul is speaking from personal experience.

How many of you today can say, I have a

testimony to give to that person on the.

Street that is bound as brother Nathaniel dead this morning.

I can say I was obedient to the heavenly calling,

and I sown out to Jesus he owes me lock

stock in Beryl. I took this as his word, hook

line and sinker, And so as apostle.

Paul watched the formation of the Early Church, and.

I'm thankful that he's still forming the church, and I'm

thankful that he's still providing insight and instruction to his people.

Speaking of the Lord and the writings of the Apostle Paul,

has anybody in this fielding figured it out yet? Has

anybody else arrived yet? Has anybody else received instruction from

the Lord that is so good that you could share

it with others and put it in writing, and that

that writing will continue to be passed out from generation

to generation.

Apostle Paul was such.

A man, and the Holy Girls moved on him, and

he was miraculously converted and transformed. Also, he received instruction

from Heaven, and those words have been preserved for you

and I to look upon right here this morning. And

we've witnessed something going on that breaks my heart as

a pastor to some eighty people plus or mind us

at times. Apostle Paul was a pastor, a missionary, pastor.

Of bishop, and overseer to so many people.

And he's experiencing show emotions because of those who had

been converted after him efforts and after he had exhausted himself,

had spent himself as he used those words. He is

now having to defend himself because certain people had watched

the way that he had preached to these people when

he first came to Corrypt and they had misinterpreted and

misconstrued and Twistan or the Apostle Paul had said. In fact,

he had to lead disheartened and disappointed and go on preaching.

But that does not mean that he did not leave

part of his heart there. Yet, does not mean that his.

Heart was not still beating in this region where this

church was had back.

Men like Timothy and Titus.

Oftentimes they were quit to find out where Apostle Paul

was or where he was going, and they would meet him,

or they would schedule appointments to meet him, sometimes simply

to tell pod what was going on at the home church,

at that certain church that he had establised himself. I'm

telling somebody in this building right.

Here this morning. God is doing this for your joy.

God gave apostles and pastors and teachers for.

The perfecting of the saints.

Yes, that you might growing grace, that you'm growing the

knowledge of the Lord receivor Jesus Christ. But it is

not for those men to lord over you. It is

not for you to be intimidated by their title. Yes

you should respect them and their office. Yes you should

respect the spiritual authority that they have. There is no doubt,

without question, the Apostle Paul was who he was by

the grace of God.

And there's no doubt presence of this morning. There people

taking certain pushers and certain.

Positions because it was for Ordain and God for them

to be in that pusher of that precition in your

presenter this morning. And I'm telling somebody under the Sona

for my plesser, there's long as you have a bath

in that body, as long as see in voluntary muscles

of the longer to get the puction and continue to fuction.

You are such at the spiritual authority. Now, not just

any relents.

Leave your qualogizing for someone that is doing it from

your cloth, for some water that is doing it from

your joy. I know there's a lot of religions and

a lot of religious leaders today that are not doing

it for the jail of the parishioners. They're doing it

for there of their sapa.

It's everyt we hear this and that take a place

and we say things like this, they were in it

for either for the wrong reason.

Well, I want you to know, Apostle Paula's not in

this for the wrong reason. Why are you in ministry?

Why are you in the church? Are their multerior motives.

Some come to church to use it as a social club.

They gather together for friendship.

Some do it in order to think different concerning some

things they perceive the preaching of the pastor, or the

advantage or the teacher. It's just something to encourage them

and help them get through another week.

I want you to know that Apostle Paul knew that

the situation was desperately the dire and that he had

to offer spiritual guidance to these believers, whether they.

Wanted it or not. Now, Christians of this generation are

no different than the.

Christians or the Apostle paulsa generation. We need a guiding

hand and we need someone to put us in the

right direction in that day. Who was better to provide

such a service than the Apostle Paul, or the Apostle

Pere or the Apostle John in this day and hour,

he is really qualified. As christianities are preachers and pastors

and teachers and evangelist.

I didn't ask you who's got a tie over.

Who in the seminary and who preaches a religiously.

Multiple times a we.

I'm asking you, according to script, say who has qualified

to present such teachings and such truths as these.

Apostle Paul was not a conformist. He was not one

that would.

Just say, hey, let's agree to disagree and let's keep

the peace. Apostle Paul is not proposing compromise in our text,

nor is he saying I choose wipy not to discipline you.

It is true that the Apostle Paul is saying, this time,

when I come to you, I have decided against it.

I'm not going to come to you because of things.

That have been said.

I'm gonna spare you, because I'm afraid that when I come,

I will say things that will hurt your feelings. He

did not say I would speak and correctly. He did

not say I would speak inappropriately. He did not say

I'm afraid I might miss it. But what he's saying here,

the man that usually did not hold any touches, he said,

in this particular instance, in this situation, I'm going to

refrain from visiting you. It's very needful that I'm afraid

I'm gonna find you in a shapeer that's gonna demand

that I speak up, and I speak up, and I speak.

Against her, that God knows her just.

Exactly how you're gonna take it, Because as you study

it the first Offistle to the Church of Corinth, as

you read through First Corinthus, you can tell the reason

for that letter. You can tell that the devil has

come in that he's read having her hang the church,

and a possle parler intervened and gave them these writings.

Then we read the first cut into it disappointed them.

And when people got a hold of got serving her.

When I got a holder of that message, they accuse

the matter I'm not loving them. They accuse the matter

I'm being too strong. They accuse the matter I'm not

having a murder. They accuse the matter I'm not having love.

They accuse the matter I being the lord over God's flock.

Rather than lining up and doing right, they found.

Another church to go to where they can be complacent,

or where they can lay comfortable in their bed of

sins iniquities. Paul was a pivotal figure in early Christianity,

one who initially persecuted Christians. However, after that life altering

and changing personal experience, after that conversion experience on the

Road to Damascus, he became an important person in the

Kingdom of Jesus Christ. How many of you know that

it's important that you have spiritual guidance and leadership at play.

In your life. It's very important that whoever it is.

That has provided such a service to you, that they

are doing it for your best interest and without ulterior motives.

You see all of these letters found in.

This Holy Book, pinned by the apostle Paul or one of.

His help meet.

They are offering guidance and direction and assistance to believers

of that generation and every generation following. Again, do y'all

get the purpose of appalling epistles? It is to sit

in the order sings that should be set in the order.

It is to shrinking out things become and disarray.

It is the solved problem.

So that a SURPRISTO I'm telling your brother just saying

these apolline epistles.

Wants an overseer.

Telling your bishops like Titus and Timothy, what you're thinking is.

Vibe here when you've got saint her, what's a fault?

Was don't matter? People come here and tell you otherwise,

say sell doctrine.

Man, it's the putt in case he calls apostle Paul

Knew just like that, know her this morning, hen.

You can't me up her on ice cream and teaches

her hold the timer.

I'm telling you, holy ghost here manifestation and shouting his

clear her that this generation does not appreciated and suction her,

that he not appreciates her attorney.

And the certainly despiser church and discipline.

The Catholic Church used to really wrote a doctrine of

excommunication to infidels, to hypocrites, the impostors. What happened? What

has happened to Christianity? What has happened to Protestant churches?

What has happened to Catholic churches? What has happened? I'm

telling you what has happened.

Believers of this generation and the generation's prior to this generation.

They no longer want to hear servants of sound doctrine.

They no longer want to hear health fire brimstone preaches.

They no longer want to hear the truth.

You see Paul's early life had formed him his midlife

and his later life. They had shaped him for him

to be who he was to be at this time

in history. The last Sunday night I preached a servant

titled Boasting and what the nor Lord has done, not

boasting in what you have done or what I have done,

but that we should boast then what the Lord has

done and appeared to us this morning that the Apostle

Paul knew that those new creatures in Christ Jesus.

Were not the product of him or his efforts.

They were the product of the Lord of Savior, Jesus

Christ efforts. I'm telling you, salvation should comes through gracia.

It comes through paint.

It talks out of little loss of no the ruby

red data of Jesus.

And Apostle Paul. He acknowledges this in our Golden text.

The last thing he said is for by painting he's staying.

For by faith, he's staying. You are faith.

Compel the same way Peter said, compel, that's not words.

Those are not my words. Here again, those are not

my words. Jesus told Peter, I'll pray for you. That's

your pater so nah so apostle Paul trying to reprogram

the mindset of people that once would have plucked out

their eyes for him, people that would have packed the

house to hear him preach, people that would have followed.

Him to hear him preach.

But you let one problematic, toxic person within any congregation,

with any movement, within any tell us you keep looking

around her and miscontruling and misunderstanding and misinterpreting the motives

of the preacher, the motives of that local postor, and

the prolod Who've.

Got an apostle Paul standing.

In the pool of telling people, I am heartbroken. I

am devastating because you believe I'm doing this.

To morn over you.

It'll hurt you. This is not why we're doing this.

We're doing it to help you. Don't put your tall

This is a pastoral message this morning.

I may preach along different lines in tonight's service, but

this morning I felt not cold as a pastor with

a burden to a people to tell you that the

time has already come, it's not past its present even now,

that men will not endure sound doctrine.

And so Paul is heartbroken. If you'll read these two epistles. First,

the second criptans you will remember that Apostle Paul had

a desire.

To go to Correct many different times.

He desired to get into presence of these people and

the teaching, to preach to.

Them and to help them.

And I remember this pastor Wednesday night I preached that message,

or this past Sunday night. Sunday night a week ago,

I spoken of the Apostle Paul having a desire.

To go to Rome. And now that your in mind.

We see the same apostle has a desire to go

once again to Corinth. But he's basically saying, your attitudes

will not allow me to count at this time, because

the Bible said concerning some people, specifically a fool, and

said if they are oughten.

Reproved, they will hurt in their neck, and that without remedy.

Apostle Paul is putting forth a last ditch effort right

here to say, I'm afraid, did I pod come your

foolish fires up in alienating's alienated and darkened to the

placer that you will proceed then to be learned to

your destruction where you're.

Hurt and not want to help you.

Apostle Paul her he's broken hearted her and devastating proticant the.

People of figure other be Testament Church, the Early Church.

He's at a place of messing it where he says,

he I simplicated, o't tayr.

I simply can'tot speak her.

That sounds like the rights or the Old Testament prophet

to your WIA.

I don't want to meet you in the town. I

don't want to preaching her. It's gonna follow her, And

you say the one.

I can't somebody this morning, you're now be careful being

on the internet and social media in check grout on

the conchet man about this, and that it could be

somebody miss interpeting, somebody misunderstood her, and the poor Lola

who shut your mind's dolls, or the great Apostle Paula.

Or something that pre trub that's throwing it for your troll.

Just let the debt get in the ear of Eve,

and pretty soon she shut out of the garden to

be you let the devil get in your mind. They say,

I don't know why Jesus overturned the tages other money changes.

I don't know why Jesus overturned the seats.

Of those It so does.

I don't know why that brother said that. I don't

know why that sister justify lock that. I don't know

why that sonny school teacher exhorted or admonished like that.

I'll tell you why. It's for your troy iron shopping.

It irony that it's been.

Official for us to do somewhere where we can have

little rough edges shaved off.

Somebody hear what I've said it you might be in

this building. You won't be listening more. Don't lie that.

That just because the pretray says something of untry feelings does.

Not mean he does not tell her. It does not

mean who's not a state. Paul was born in Tarsus.

He's not a novice, and he's not an igorant idiot.

He was a Roman citizen by birth.

He was at you and yes. Because he had.

Dual citizenship, he was just about able to go anywhere

he wanted to on the planet. That dual citizenship, which

was a Roman citizenship and a Jews citizenship, that provided

him with certain legal protections which he could leverage to

his advantage.

Paul had a desire to visit Rome, and.

There were no travel restrictions on his visitation. Here in

this text we see that Paul has a desire to

reach the believers to who this epistle is addressed, specifically,

state of Believers incorrect, and Sister Howell, there would have

been no travel restrictions at all for him to come,

But he's not coming. They come on, preacher, will you

come a preach for us? Sometimes we say yes, and

sometimes we say no, especially if there's gonna be people

in that congregation.

Or a line of listening siding.

Upon Pault with what is being said. But nevertheless, who

know who the pipil figures are?

And eat and ever to the us.

And we know her who is preaching her the truth,

and we know her who's not been a politics, and

we know her can really love her the soul of

the parison, and those here are the message you.

Can tell.

A herd. In the first chapter, psycond Corinthians stood out

to me, and it proceeds the verse of our golden texts,

and we read it as we were getting into this message.

Second Corinthians, one of twenty three said, moreover, I called

God for record upon my soul. That's a frightful thing

to do, Paul, But without hesitation, Paul said, I call

upon God for record of my soul, and he said

that to spare you I came.

Not yet as unto Corinth.

Now we know the Bible said to spare the rod

is to spoil the child. And we know that Paul

from his writings, we can ascertain to this fact that

he was not hesitant or reluctant to preach the truth

and to separate the sheep from the goats and the

chap from the wheat, and to call.

That that is black black, and that which is white white.

Doctrinally, he was not afraid to cause division and separation.

It seems to me that Apostle Paul.

Is explaining why he didn't come at a certain time.

Apparently his plans change, his plans for them change, and

his plans for himself change. Our gold and text explain

the reason for this, not for that we have dominion

over your faith. Somebody had falsely accused Apostle Paul as.

Being a dictator. They had accused Apostle Paul of being

a lord over God's heritage. He was no such state.

In fact, to he was spitting his health and his

financials and exhausting everything that he had inputs and Heltha

in order to pour himself into others. In fact, he

would not even sit in pity in a prison house.

A lot of a Pauline epistles are being written.

Why is it a temper Darta who ain't even Pierson house?

He's trying to help her. Somebody answer, but that did

not keep up the concept combience.

And then slammed on us up from my choosing him

not being a dictator.

I'm telling somebody this morning, strong leadership. It's not hold

leads indicted of a dictators out were strong leadership is

manifested today just about anywhere and everywhere it is accused

to be a dictatorship.

Y'all, Let that seat can right there.

I love to hear crickets preacher, but if you're look

it burse number twenty three, Paul said to spare you,

this whole thing's about you. It's not about the preacher.

It's not about the pastor. It's not about the vangelism.

It's not about the teacher. It's for the perfecting of

the saints. Every one of these words in these epistles

was about to and apostle. Paul says, it's not only

about you, it's about your joy. Now, God use Father

Caleb broke cat this morning to confirm and to confirm

what I'm preaching.

Do y'all believe that it's for your joy? In one

place we find where.

Chard the Beloved said, I believe it was in the

Second of His or John, I believe y're the second book.

John said, I have.

No greater joy than to hear that my children walk

in truth. It is true that A see you do right,

and you change and you meet happy life, Sir, brings

us great joy. But that's not what it's about her

bringing us great joy. That it's about her is Jesus

living in you, and get shit up your BACKA. It

can exceed out of your life for the place that

you could have true joy. The truth is these grintas

have been miserable to Apostle Paul planning this church and

preaching to them. And these people had infiltrated the congregation,

had talked to them, if you will, in the eyes

of the supermarket, had talked to them in the city streets,

just ran their mouths until these believers had looked.

At the Apostle Paul differently. Young men that work for me,

you listen to me. Parent carefully.

I hope every one of you are in this fielding

right now at this moment. I am for right now

acting as your boss. But you need to know something.

Whether I'm your boss or your pastor, you better be

careful or slavering or talking negatively about any.

Person in position of authority.

And that includes your parents, children, the Bibles and children,

or obeying your parents, even the Lord.

For this is right.

That is the trick that dead father in shorts people's life.

It's shortened the lost fan of humanity. One of the

promises given us of by car of a long life

is if we would live in obedience to the magnature

and the commandments of our parents, or come on down

while be natural parents of e spiritual parents. Your obedience,

it's on you. It's a little haird yes our faith.

He stay God, but God up, He's gonna call him

erect her what to do with it? This is a

little deeper than what you're used to getting from the

evangelists that come by.

I'm not screaming a blind man receiving the sight and

walked in up and down the streets.

That's easy to move us emotionally, but I'm trying to

shift a very foundation.

Of your being.

The last two and a high three weeks, the team

has been changed me to that simple mighty person that

would post if one message.

By visiting preacher would be.

The message that change you, I said, God, maybe she

doesn't realize that or not, but a devil certainly inspired that.

The messages that change us not the message. It's a

compilation effort of every pastor have apparent us.

Have a preacher, have a teacher, they all come on

now sometimes we like to strike her.

The party it away and the sitil have discreetly trunkful.

All come on now.

You want to retaliate because in the correction you were

seeing now because.

Of your mess and son Seer says, sometimes we figure

out the clinically wise way to hurt authority.

If I haven't been instrumental in your life pivoting and

your structure for shifting to dismiss yourself from my over saint,

then we'll see what that one feature's message done for you.

All.

Well, it's put in here this morning, Apostle Paul, after

everything you've done for us, after the burden that you mary,

after the heavy load that you care, after the mess ups,

you cleaned up.

After the mistakes that we made. We're gonna allow people

to persuade.

Us that you're a lord over us, that you're just

trying to prove yourself bigger than us, that you're trying

to prove.

Yourself more religious in us, that you're trying to prove

yourself greater than us.

You're trying to belittle us, you're trying to shame us.

I mean, it takes up all this per se that's

ought to reprove to come to the place they will

not hear, and then they will despise.

I'm telling all of you that work for pastor in the.

Nuts and those that are under pessor in the spiritual,

you better be careful coming to the place where you

despise spiritual God.

It to a spiritual and strusting it is for your toil.

It is to keep you from being a victim her

and a cause who you rush to be a victim.

I feel the Holy Ghost in this place because the

Bible said, who the Lord loveth, he chases it, and

he corrected, be sell us therefore and repent.

What that is saying is God's got in his hand

the rod of discipline.

God's got a preacher, God's got the world, God's talk

the message, but seems got to respond to it. For

all the polative years are smitty and this salon. And

I said, Apostle Paul became who he was because of

the formation of his character. There's no doubt in my

mind that Apostle Paul had discermon and needed to be

heard since to howl, but they were not ready for it.

He had the message, but they were not ready for it.

And Apostle Paul accused them others about that. Spiritual Christians,

he said, you have been in this so long.

Now you should have left the foundation of the doctrine

of repentance and a faith and a good word.

You should go on in the perfection. He said, you

were still maimes in Christ. And I could give you

some meeting taters, but you're not ready for it now.

If you're not ready for sound doctrine, and you're not

ready for instruction, and you're not.

Ready for discipline, how can you be heaven ready? How

can you be heaven ready?

Because the Bible said no man coming to the Father

unless the Spirit draw him. How could you be heaven

ready if you're not ready to hear what the spirit.

Says unto the churches that you will remember in the

Book of Revelation. Jesus himself too said I have some

what to say against you. He was speaking of those

seven churches of Asia.

I have some what to say against you. We'll say it, Jesus,

We'll say it, Paul.

That's what somebody told me recently. I believe it was

Brother Michael Joseph Laru. He said, Pastor, if you see her,

foresee of anything that would keep me out of heaven.

Said I want you to say it. I want you

to tell me about it.

Apostle Paul, just go ahead and get on that boat

and come with a notebook under your armor and stand

coping in her and tell us.

They even went so far as to criticize his person. Now,

that's hard to believe.

That problem is thinking greatest preacher, the John the Baptism,

the third greatest of Jesus Christ, his brother Jeremiah, having

people critique his person, his physical stature.

They said, his bodily presence is weak, said man. When

that man writes a.

Letter, he's a strong, he's a solid, he's a sound.

That's because when they.

Got in their presence, he could tell where their heart was.

He was hopeful while he was ding, but when he

put his eyeballs on their situation, he was stuck.

Near me, so hopeful over hearing.

What I'm saying right now, the grandsist the company message

can be hopeful.

And encourage you. But your pastor has the fear of

the punts. He's got his eyes in the.

Situation her day of Christ, and he might say he's unlikely.

That's deep right there, postal laugh, I'm trying to help somebody.

You don't realize what spirit you're of. When you hear

sound doctrine, you heed it. Here an instruction is different

than receiving it here in correction is different than responding

to it. I've seen children before received discipline from the

disciplinary action of a parent or a principle, or somebody

in position of authornity, and that chim walk right out

the door, cursing that parent, cursing that principal, cursing that

person in position of authority.

Let me ask you a question.

Didn't the words make any difference in their life? Didn't

the discipline change anything? The Bible is pulling ones in

the Book of Provernce of my speaking words of instruction

the wise people and worts of instruction of Poolish people.

It is determined by her individu whether or not they change.

That's not apostle. Paul concluded that twenty fourth.

Verse with this, by your faith he stand. Paul said,

I didn't stretch my arms out and die for you. Again,

Paul is saying I'm not the one.

That died for you. I'm not the one that gave

my lost blood for you. So yes, you could say,

by your own faith you stand. That's right.

Do our actions confuse the world as to what a

Christian is? When you say I'm a Christian? Are you

confusing people? Because God's word said, God is not the

author of confusion. If you're down here at the Label

Yacht Club drinking five long necks on Saturday night and

then teach a Sunday school Sunday morning, that's not happening here,

but it happened to the other churches.

That's confusing to the world.

And whenever I got saved, I said, God, there's one

thing I'm not gonna be, and that's a hypocrite.

Now it's a hypocrite to sit in there and hear

instruction and same.

Doctrine week after week after week and change. How can

we shout over this message? How can we get emotional

over this message? This is a pastoral message. How can

they get excited about this? Apostle Post said, you should.

It's for your joy. It's for your joy.

If the foundation is going to shift, you're going to

be the one that makes that happen. I mean, the

apostle Post said, I can't come right now. There's a

message I'd like to preach right now, but I can't.

There's a message I'd like to preach to a family

right now, but I can't because they're not ready.

This is biblical.

That's not my words. There's not my words. That's offensive maybe,

but that's not my words. Has anyone ever heard the

expression speak one's mind? Has any whatever said these words,

I'm going to speak my mind. Bear with me while

I speak my mind.

You say that, and you know what?

You proceed to say things, and you speak things bloodly,

frankly and directly, do you not? Donald J. Trump is

an unpolished politician who speaks his mind.

He said the other day. And I like Donald J. Trump.

He's got my vote. There's liberals in Seattle, Washington.

By the way, there's a single vote right here, sister,

how from Seattle, Washington, pretty neat right here in label

just from the top of the root manage. That's really awesome.

He sailed a long way from home, didn't he. It's

a long way from home to come to Paradise and

hang out there. He's probably been in unting to boy.

Now do I need to just close up here?

Should I continue on? Let's just skip over something. As

Apostle Paul told Timothy and Titus. He said, you got

to do the work of Biship fossil polse will make

full proof of your ministry. And in another place, he said,

let no man despires thy youth. As we read the

first book addressed to the Church at Corinth, you see

Paul speaking in his mind. And I know I want

to go ahead and say it.

Donald J.

Trump spoke his mind recently. I may disagree with him,

even though I like him, but the liberals I want.

What I say is the liberals in Seattle told me

liberal minded taxi cab drivers told me that Donald J.

Trump was better for the economy and the country than

Joe Biden. And they told me they voted for Joe Biden,

and they said they regretted it six months later.

That Donald J. Trump speaks unpolished words. He speaks frankly, boldly,

and bluntly.

I like that about it. I like the fact that

he's not a politician and he's not speaking flowerty lies.

Is he perfect morally? No, But he's definitely the lesser

of two evils, is he not? But he did lie

recently he said he's better looking.

Than Missus Harris, his opponent. That is a lie from

the Vince of Hell. He is not better looking at

what's our first name. I want you all to say

it so I don't get trouble.

Harris, Kamala Harris. But I do better looking than Kamala Harris.

I do know this, though, brother Jesse. I can know

that when Donald J. Trump speaks, most of the time,

he's speaking from here, not as the voice of a

political party for a machine. One man recently said, I

wish we could do away with a Republican Party and

the Democratic Party he can start over.

I wholeheartedly concur with that.

Really starity. But Apostle Paul was one to speak the

truth in love, and he was one to speak his

mind and he had the mind of Christ. So if

the preacher is speaking through the mind of Christ and

the words from the mind of Christ, then why are

you unchanged.

It can't be said that you're unscathed because you feel it,

and every now and then the talents come out. Oh

it hurts. You know what hurts. Pride is what causes

the hurt. That's deep. That's proof.

Some preachers will tell you horror stories about things they

witness and they've seen, and it'll move you emotionally, but

your foundation is not shifting.

Into place.

A dear friend of mine was telling me recently that

for several weeks he was more minute in his neck

in this particular part of his neck, in his shoulder area.

He said the pain was excruciating, and Brother Jeremiah, he

needed relief. He said, he begged God to heal him.

He said one night he started praying correctly about it,

and he said, God, I've got this I need to do.

I need to help my wife with this task. I've

got this I need to do. I need to help

my son in law build this house. I've got this

I need to do. I've got this I need to do.

I've got this.

I need to do. And he said, immediately he felt

something shift into place. And he said he heard that.

Something that was out of joint, not a place, shifted

him due place. And he said, I knew immediately that

God had healed me.

Every morning when I wake up, I have to take

the parp of my hand, put it behind my ear,

pick up on my head, then rotate my head just

one of the vertebrates into place. Immediately there is relief

from that pinch nerve, that peach nerve that causes excruciate

pain and numbness.

Deal my right on. Immediately there's relief.

Well, there will be relief and you will have true

joy the moment there's a shift in the way you're

doing for the moment you shift from being out of

place into place.

Oh my god, I feel the Holy Ghost in this place.

That's the purpose of sound doctrine is to keep us

from shifting out of place. That when things do shift

out of place, across a pol said church and career,

here is sound doctrine.

There's sound doctrine to be an authority.

It's sound doctrine to listen to people in a common

But it's also sound doctrine.

That he to do knock, to be a youre only oh,

come on now, but to do it? Nathaniel, how you.

Have been teaching on pastoral authority, and I did not

have that in mind. As God began to deal with

me about this message.

You've been teaching on formative discipline and corrective discipline and

church disciplined. Paul would say, amen to each lesson that

these young people have heard by the Nathaniel teaching his Classromorom.

I'm sure many who heard Paul preach took his words

and twisted them, and.

Bible even spoke.

I believe it was the writings of the apostle Paul,

maybe maybe not. It had to look and talked about

men wrestling the words of the scripture, which literally means precelytizing, twisting, twisting.

The words of the Scripture of low.

I know we're quick to point at the hypocrits, right,

We're quick to point at the worldly people.

We're quick, But what about us? Are we shifting? Are

we changing?

When the Spirit of God says I'm not focusing on

the faith he or that's doing it for the wrong reasons.

I'm focusing on a.

Little family and a little holiness.

Church down there in the bill Ford, I hear crickets

because of Paul's plainness of speech.

And he said, great preaching is using plainness of speech,

not excellent words, but demonstrating power.

Those are the words of the apostle.

Part okay. And I don't know how many people took

the things he said, seriously, I don't know how many

could take it, Sister Wood, And I don't know how

many could take it. But he sure did not sugarcoat

anything needed, did Jesus? And I want to remind you again,

Jesus said, nevertheless, I have somewhat to say against you.

Since the days of the early Church until today's Christians,

we have needed correction and instruction. Now, parents, we better

teach our child known how to follow through. And we'll

teach them by first being an example, saying the Spirit

of God said through a person and authority, take good

care of ourselves, present ourselves good to the public.

I feel the Holy Good stand in this place this morning.

I'm trying to shift you at the foundation. So I

went a whole lot deeper today than I normally go.

We're not feeding people's sugar cookies here, We're feeding people man.

A fossil.

Paul's heart broke because he had to use plainness of speech,

and because he had to say things aren't as good

as you're pretending. Things aren't as wonderful as your acting.

Like Apostle Paul said, and I know what you've been

saying behind close door about me. Also, Paul's weeping and

he's probing. He says, there are three tears. His heart's broken,

and he's trying to say, all of this is from

your joy. I took my hands, He's saying, on the

early Church, simply to keep you from being a victim.

I do want you to be a victory. I want

you to have functional families. I want you to have

a functional church family. I don't want you to bring

a reproach to.

The name of Christ.

All the fussing and the fighting and the vicary, all

the confusion that's in the church that's not of God.

And Apostle Paul would try to set things in order.

People would take him exercising his authority and exemplifying leadership.

My brother Nathaniel.

They would accuse him of lording over God's why you're

not going to come in here and tell us what

to do. Mister dictator Paul, So when did daddy become

a dictator? When did your spiritual daddy become a dictator?

When did your physical natural father.

Or mother become a dictator?

When they.

Use words of discipline?

How many people in this building would say the words

of Apostle Paul could be found.

Offensive at times?

I can say that, And how many of y'all know

that the words of Jesus in this book can be

quite offensive at times, they can hurt your feelings. But

Paul told Timothy that the time would come that men

would not endure him doctrine, but after their own lust,

they would heap to themselves teachers having itching ears.

Heat.

That doesn't mean just find one or two that were

willing to compromise. They would heap to themselves teacher after teacher,

preacher after a preacher, teacher, and the teacher, evangelists after

evangelists to tell them the thing that they want to hear,

so that they can continue in their own busts. But

you know what he said, in doing so, you will

turn your ear from the truth. That anytime you turn

your ear from the truth, right, holy, living, sanctified, living,

godly example Christians speaking truth with your neighbor, being honest,

being obedient. What we're dealing with is rebellion. And I

waited till the end to name it is rebellion. Sister

Howell is my wife, but she's also sitting in that tea,

and I'm also her pastor.

I'm also her pastor at home, and I juggle the two.

I'm her husband and I'm her pastor.

I see her life behind closed doors, and I can

say it's impeccable, But it's impeccable because when God saved me,

we didn't have a pastor that was putting his hands

on Sister Howell. When God saved me, I started reading

the Bible, largely the words of the Apostle Paul, and

I started realizing where I fell short and where Sister

Howell fell short. And Brother Bef we would go on

dates and have Bible studies and we would talk about

what Jesus said. We would talk about what Apostle paused

that Jesus said. But she's who she is today because

she allowed a major foundational shift. This is for your joy,

it's for your family's joy. And that's why Sister how

Will they was Wednesday night, she pled with you all.

I don't plan on losing my burden. You heard her say.

He loves what he does. He loves pastoral leadership, he

loves preaching, he loves people.

He's a people person. He does this for people. You

will heard what she said, Brother State, come over there

to pray.

We pray over him. He's healed. He come over there

to pray. He put his hands on me, he said, God.

You know, brother Jeremy has no greater joy than to

help people. He loves bearing his brother's burdens. He loves

preaching to them. He loves helping them in their life

issues and their problems. And here's what he said. I

don't see him changing that anytime soon. But it's a

miracle that apostle called it snap. It's a miracle that

he didn't fold up like John Martin did and said,

you know what, I am just gonna worry about myself.

It's a miracle that he didn't take back up, take his.

Toys and go home. And I'm no apostle, Paul, and

nobody likes washing the same dirty dishes every time. Right,

So back to our gold text. There were many that

retwists in the words and the blood of Apostle Paul

and generated confusion, but he makes it clear inness writing

that I do not desire the Lord over you. It's

not about me winning, Apostle Paul says, it's not about

me making you do things you don't want to do.

It's not about me stumping away and saying, see I

change it out. But the air that's powerful right there,

He says. My desire is to help you have joy

so that you don't continue to wallow in misery. Because

here's what Apostle Paul said, we're here. We're here as

helpers of your joy. Did y'all see that we're here

this morning? I preach for an hour. I don't need

the money. I run a business, a couple of them

doing really good. I don't draw a salary. Here and

doing what I'm doing right now, probably like Apostle Paul said,

sometimes it gets my will in obedience to the commandment

of God.

And I'm preaching this message this morning. It's for your joy.

The reason why I'm here is.

For you to have joined your marriage, for you to

have joined your home, and you to have joined the workplace.

For you during your life and God, you's really Caleb

to confirm this morning's message. What apostle Paul is having

to deal with gossip goblins and those that are standing him,

and he's trying to offer clarification your brother and the thing,

and it's sandity.

He's having to defend himself. Listen, Any leader with a.

Heart for his people, any parent of the heart for

their child, loves those who have been placed in the

other ones enough to be concerned for him when they

do wrong, and they love him enough to correct him

when they do wrong.

But they have no desire to.

Have dominion over him, which means to rule over them,

to dominate them. The problem is you're fighting domination because

you have a problem with an authority. It's like that

little baby that the parent trust him place its head

on the parent's shoulder because it knows the baby needs

a nap. The brother aaron that baby pushes its arms

against the shoulder of the parent and pushes its neck

up and its head up and fights that parent. Then

the parent finally, because of the rebecs in the stubborness

a refusal to take a nap on the shoulder of

the parent, there's.

A change of positions.

So the parent puts the child in a different position,

in a different place, and the child in that sleepy

condition begins to stagger, not swagger.

You can swagger in your rebellion and your stubbornness and

get trouble too. But well, it just say sleepily, lazily.

That baby just drifts and pretty soon its head meets

the corner of the wall.

And there's a major accident.

Mom and daddy's rushing to the hospital because baby refused

to obenfarity. But I don't want nobody taking dominion over me. Daddy,

You're not going to force me to take this nap.

So look at the last.

Part of our golden text. For by faith you stand.

It's true as a pastor, I will provide spiritual guidance,

and it's true by your faith you stand.

But Jesus also told Paul, told Peter, don't you let

that faith fail you.

So your spiritual development and progress is on you as

an individual. Sister's weeping in a spirit others are weeping cried.

They know it's not about me. It's not that somebody

would say great preaching. That was deep preaching. There's so

much sound doctrine in that, there's so much wisdom in

that My point is this morning, the progress is on

you as an individual.

And if we were to.

Hand out spiritual progress reports, what grade would God have

your pastor give you. And that's deep is your rebellion

and your stubbornness and your refusal to shift of the

foundation causing you to fail the grade. Young Christians, listen

to your pastor. You're making life choices each and every day.

You decide whether or not to put cleaner or sugar

in your coffee. It's your life, it's your choice. If

you make a bad decision, the Lord.

Is going to use your parent or your.

Pastor to insert themselves into that situation and raise a

red flag and say, hey, wait a minute, you've made

a bad decision. We will attempt to stop you, and

we will offer guidance and instruction. But the Bible said that.

The fool will just go on.

Brother, be for you've been faced with a major decision.

Now we'll see.

When you just go on or where you do what

God said to do.

There's others in this building.

We've been faced with critical decisions when a choice needs

to be made. We've been offered guidance and instruction. But

you know what, by faith, you stand, so divine intervention

has come. I've heard preacher after preacher, teacher after teacher

tell us that change is inevitable, but we must change

the babes in Christ. It's on you, and it's for

your joy. You were responsible to seek God, to study

his word, to find the truth. Whether you're pastor ever

raises a flag or note, whether you're a pastor ever

puts his hand on your family, or on your marriage,

or on your life. If that preacher can't speak into

your life then help you, then you should call him pastor.

Pastor Moses is the perfect example of that experience. There

were people who just simply did not want to hear

what you had to say. And Brother roquav, I don't

feel like Bethel is such a church, but there could

be one or two that have fooled us, one or

two Sister Wood to misunderstand too, that aren't.

Paying attention enough to really know why we're doing what

we're doing.

It's for your joy, it's to help you. It's not

to make you feel miserable. It's not to shame you,

it's not to embarrass you. But at the end, we

must put our hands in that holy basin in that

holy water, which is the Word, and we must wash

our hands and say babes in Christ.

It's over.

The end of the day. I must lay my heart

down upon my pillow, and I must say God. I

didn't have to do it for the paycheck. I didn't

have to do it for the position.

I didn't have to when I wanted to.

But Apostle Paul's words ring true. You better stand burned.

Than the faith.

As you can. You to read through this epistle, you'll

find the following chapters will show changes in the church

at Corinth that made it possible for Paul to return,

Changes in the church that Corinth made it possible for

Paul to return. What is that one change that you

need to make to make it possible for a holy

egoist visitation in your marriage, in your family, in your life.

Is that one thing you don't want to change? You know?

The Bible spoke of those by the Jesse that would encircle.

The earth can pass much land and sea to proselge somebody.

There's a lot of people.

They will circumvent truth and circumvent guidelines and instruction, you know,

like the wheels on the bus us. The answer didn't

the bust, the simple, the hours are good.

That if it's a joun.

But there's a lot of people, they will circle everything.

I used to say it like this, brother Jesse. They'll

go around the world without converting their neighbor. Yeah, they'll

go around every topic and around every issue without dealing

with the real issue.

I know.

Thirty years ago when I came to church, I said

on the back po no desire whatsoever to be a hypocrit.

And I said, God, if I get it, I want

it write.

And when Jesus's blood washed me, I can speak as

Apostle Paul from experience. I didn't want to things of

this world anymore.

Things I once.

Loved, and I did love them, I'm now that's the

words of Apostle Paul. Things I once hated, I now love.

That's the words of the postle Paul. And I made

a deal with Jesus that day. I said, God, as

long as I live and as long as I preach,

I will not compromise truths. And let me be clear,

if I backslide tomorrow and I can't, it's my choice.

It's not my desire. I can choose to either serve

God or leave God. But I will tell you this,

if I backslide tomorrow, I have no plans on it.

I will still believe it the way I've preached it.

Now there's preachers in the pool pit that won't even

preach it. But I can become a skip rope bum

I drunk, an alcoholic, and I promise you this. You

visit me on skid road, I will say it's still

black and white without sanctification, and holiness knows that shall

see God. You're not going to see me in a

church being religious. You're not going to see me using

the name Christian and saying I am a Christian and

not being one.

It's all or nothing.

But before you get too embolded to batchlide and become

that person, you remember Hell as an offerul place, and

the alternative of going to Heaven is going to hell.

And it says to how I'm very uncomfortable with the

idea of.

Going to Hell.

And so until I take my last breath, I will

make it my number one thirty and objective to go

to heaven. Secondly, I will see to it till my

family goes there with me. And thirdly, those that dare

darken the doors of the for horness Church, I'll thomise,

I bow to you, I commit to you. It thinks

to you the unadulterated word of God, no matter how

often the words may be misunderstood or misinterpreted. Our promise

is for your joy, is for your emptterment. So, brother Tyler,

here's what broke my heart as we stand this morning.

A lot of times we're not being so challenged as

we are this morning tonight. We maybe shouting and running.

Isn't this for our joy?

Right? But brother Tyler, what breaks my heart is somebody's

words and somebody's actions. As somebody's conduct, their behavior and attitudes,

was keeping.

Paul from coming to them? That broke my heart.

Sister, how well that broke my heart. And again, if

I backside tomorrow.

I will say this.

I still believe that the blood of Jesus washes away

every sin. I've seen it for fifty years. I've seen

addicts get delivered from drugs, kneeling at the altar and

pray and speaking words of honesty.

Like this, I need to be delivered Jesus.

When they had godly sorrow and they truly repented, they

were delivered.

I don't believe it. Takes an eight nine, ten step program.

If I was to be on skid row tomorrow.

Or thirty years from now, and you were to find

me just a bag of.

Bulst taking my final breath, I would tell you I

would never believe anything other than there's power in the

blood of Jesus to change. It delivers people from homosexuality.

I've seen it. I've seen couples that were fornicating and

using drugs come to the altar.

And pray and know they needed to get married. They

knew they no Norman should drug.

But Brother Jeremiah, when a preacher stands in the poolpit says,

you're covered by grace and what you're getting isn't going

to change you.

That's not for your joy. But Brother Jesse, when I

see the word of God preached in truth and they

pray and they.

Experience a true conversion and Apostle Paul defended and experience

and they stand up and say, I've been delivered right

now this moment, from nicotine addiction, from alcoholism, from fornication,

from homosexuality. Somebody said those things won't send you to hell.

Go back and read First Corinthians. That was one of

the very things that the apostle Paul was making clear

that the people who commit those things shall not go

to ye head. We're dealing with that right now, Sister WoT.

There's many preachers and pastors right now that will tell

people you can do those things to go to heaven. Well,

they might as well throw away the Bible.

It said right here on first printien, chapter number six.

Y'all listen to this. Y'all ready.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?

Shall I then take the members of Christ to.

Make them a members of the heart that God forbid?

What know ye not that he which is joined to

in hardly is under one body? For two saithies shall

be one flesh. But he that is joined to the

Lord is one spirit. Flee for nication, which is sex

outside of marriage. Every sin that a man doeth is

without the body. But either committeth fornication send it against

his own body. What know you not that your body

is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,

which ye of a God.

And you're not drawn, for you are bought with a Christ. Therefore,

glorify God in your body and in your spirit.

But I'm telling your brother Jesse, one out of a

hundred preachers now would read that scription all of a

Sunday then, But it's for their joy for us to

tell of the truth. It's for their joy. This morning

service is for our joy, brother Jesse, when you come

to the piano, my brother, by purpose this morning has

been to help you grow in faith and attained greater joy.

Our co tax was now no chastening for the present

seeming to be joyous, but grievous. That's where some of

you are right now. It's grievous.

Nevertheless, after this message.

It would yield the peaceable food of righteousness unto them

which are exercised there about how many of y'all feel

like you've been through religious exercise today? Man Pastor worked

us out. Man, the word of God exercised us, The

Word of God stretched us and challenged us.

I want to bow our heads this morning, and I

don't want to give a.

General altar, cause there's somebody in this building that would

come to the altar and read to get the business

for God today and say, Lord, I've been taking this

stuff personal.

I've been hearing what's been said.

I'm taking it personal, but I'm not receiving a structure,

instructure and applying it to my life. And I want

to tell you, if you don't change, there's gonna be

some things you're gonna miss out, or they missed out

on a visitation by Apostle Paul, because that does changes.

Is there somebody this morning willing to come to the

altar and say, Lord, I'm willing to change. Is there

somebody else, Lord, I need to change some things. We've

got two honest arches more another.

I want to change Jesus. I want to change.

How many of you know Jesus can change?

And I'm not here to judge you.

I'm not here to say your faith is it to be?

I'm not here to be your Lord.

I'm here to tell you that's on you.

You're right.

He's your savior, he died for you, he's your king.

And all of this is for your joy. That's definitely

most is surely for your overall well being.

As these authors continue to fill up as anyone else,

I'd like to deal and pray. I want to encourage

you to pray to the Lord, say God, I would

love to bring you joy, and and then thank him

for the joy that he brings your way.

I feel this this morning. I've delivered my barn.

For by faith, ye stand.

It's true.

As a pastor, I'm here to provide spiritual guidance.

And it's true for by faith, ye stand. It's your

faith in God that makes the difference, and I.

Thank him for that.

I'm glad he's your savior. I'm glad he's your judge.

I'm glad he's your lord. I'm glad he's your redeemer

of brother. It's all in Jesus. Artually Jesus. But I

do want to be a helper of your joy.

And it's my desire to bring you joy. As Paul

brought joy to those around him, he brought joy to

those around him by the way he led them.

He didn't order with them, but he did stay involved.

This explains why the apostle Paul was such an effective leader,

because he stayed involved and offered instruction. I don't want

to be left to myself, the Bible said, a child

left in himself will bring his brother to shame. God,

bless your church. It's for your joy.
