    The Greatest Commandment - Part 9
    Aug 26 2024
    Teaching:Psalm 119:38 “Establish Your word to Your servant, as that which produces reverence for You. ”Psalm 119:66 “Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments and Psalm 119:47 “I shall delight in Your commandments.”Matthew 22:36-37 “TEACHER WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? HE SAID TO HIM, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.””1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”Part 8 Summary of 8-18-2025:The Lord’s first command to man: Genesis 2:16-17 “The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it, you surely will die.””Genesis 2:18 “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.””And then God’s second command: Genesis 2:24 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.”Genesis 3:9 “Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?””John 14:15: “If you love Me, you will keep my commandments.”Luke 9:23-24 “And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.” (Matthew 10:38-39; Mark 8:34; John 12:25-26).The Great Commission - Matthew 28:18-20 “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth, GO therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”” Jesus defines disciples as leaners of the Word of God. John 8:31 “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed in Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of mine.””Part 9 Summary:The next commandment that I would like to review: Faith in our Lord and Savior MUST be childlike.Matthew 18:1-5 “At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him, before them, and said “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as a child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;””Proverbs 3:34 “God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to humble.”Psalm 131:1-2 “O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; nor do I involve myself in the great matters, or in things too difficult for me. Surely, I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against her mother.” Let us continue our teaching with another commandment: We SHALL forgive others and ask for forgiveness where we sin against someone.Matthew 6:12 “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”Matthew 18:21-22 “Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven time?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.””Luke 23:34 “But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.””Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.”Matthew 26:28 “for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”Luke 17:4 “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sin against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying “I repent, ” forgive him.”1 Peter 3:8-9 “To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly kindhearted, and humble in spirit, not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.”Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”Our last commandment to review today: We MUST be baptized upon acceptance in our heart of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our life.Ephesians 5:-2 “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” 1 Peter 1:15 “but like the Holy One who...

    The Greatest Commandment - Part 2
    Jul 8 2024

    July 8, 2024, Church Service: The Greatest Commandment:

    Scripture Focus:

    Matthew 22:36-37 “TEACHER WHAT IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW. HE SAID, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.””

    1 John 5:2-3 “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome” and John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”

    Matthew 22:39 “The second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

    Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

    Matthew 9:12 “But when Jesus heard this, He said, It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.”)

    John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

    Luke 22:42 “saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me…”

    2 Corinthians 5:21: “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become righteousness of God in Him”.)

    Matthew 27:26 “About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” that is My God, My God Why Have You Forsaken Me?

    50, “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit.” Even though we see Jesus’s human anguish in the first part of Luke 22:42, the remaining verse reads “…yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

    Phillipians 2:5-8 “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

    Job1:8 and 2:3 “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil”).

    Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”)
