SEASON 8: WILL THE REAL CHURCH OF GOD PLEASE STAND UP AND STAND OUT?: WE ARE THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF GOD'S TRUTH!

WORSHIPPERS, CHILDREN, DISCIPLES, SERVANTS, AND FRIENDS: GOD
CALLS US OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT TO SAVE US FROM
EXPERIENCING THE WORST POSSIBLE THING WE SHOULD EVER FEAR,
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM HIM. HE CALLED US TO BE WORSHIPPERS,
CHILDREN, DISCIPLES, SERVANTS, AND FRIENDS. HE WANTS US TO 
STOP WALKING AND LIVING IN DARKNESS. HE NO LONGER WANTS US TO BE
HELD CAPTIVE BY THE POWER OF SIN. MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS
CHRIST'S DEATH DECLARED AND DELIVERED YOUR FREEDOM, BUT THERE IS
A PART YOU PARTAKE IN. YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT, BELIEVE, AND CONFESS.
WHEN YOU CALL HIM YOUR LORD, SAVIOR, AND REDEEMER, HE WILL CALL
YOU BY YOUR NEW NAME.!

INTRODUCTION: WILL THE REAL CHURCH OF GOD PLEASE STAND UP AND
STAND  OUT? 

“WE ARE THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF GOD’S TRUTH!” 


1 Timothy 3:14-15


14 I am writing these things to you now, even though I
hope to be with you soon, 15  so that if I am
delayed, you will know how people must conduct themselves in the
household of God. This is the church of the living God, which is
the pillar (we are the support and foundation. It is the people,
not the building, organizational infrastructure, or programs, who
hold up and hold out God's Word.) and foundation of the truth.


1 Timothy 1:1-2, it tells us to stop those who are teaching what
is contrary to the truth, things that are meaningless, and those
things that do not help the people of God live a life of
faith. 


God expects believers to have a pure heart full of love, a clear
conscience, and genuine faith. But as the Word says, people are
turning from the truth and spending time talking about things
that are meaningless. Just pay attention to some of the
discussions that have been on all social media and the news. We
have so many people who are so eloquent/bold with their words but
unfortunately, they really don’t know what they are talking
about. 


As Christians, just like Paul, our testimony should show God’s
mercy on the worst of sinners, showing that God is willing and
able to save anybody with a willing heart. Sisters and brothers
we have to hold tightly to our faith and keep our conscience
clear, according to the Word, if we do not, our faith will become
shipwrecked.


1 Timothy 2: Our Worship has to include praying for all people:
asking God to help them, intercede on their behalf, and give
thanks to them. God tells us when we pray for our world and
government leaders, it brings peace and quiet lives to us that
are marked by godliness and dignity, and it is good and pleases
God because He wants everyone to be saved and to know and
understand His truth. Let us pray with our holy hands lifted up
to God, free from anger and controversy. 


1  Timothy 3: The standards for God's Leaders have not
changed. Paul says a person who is desiring to be a church
leader, is desiring an honorable position. The definition of
honorable is upright, honest, just, conscientious, and
scrupulous, honorable mean having or showing a strict regard for
what is morally right. 


 Paul teaches us that there is a way that we as believers
must conduct ourselves in and out of the church, especially
leaders because we are the church of the LIVING GOD which is the
pillar and foundation of GOD’S TRUTH!  Y’all everything we
do in God's church matters; scripture tells us things decent and
in order and do it as if the Lord is watching
