The Terms of the Covenant 3

Dennis McCallum

Exodus 20:15-17

The law of God comes down to love. The final three commandments continue to focus on relationships with others. The three laws here are given in the negative to emphasize clearly what not to do. Although each law implies a positive picture of how to live. The first law discussed is to not steal, the second is to not lie and the third law is to not covet. In our time we are no longer under the law but we need God's grace offered through Jesus Christ.

Living the Good Life: Loving God

Scott Risley

Exodus 20:1-10

Living in line with God's Law is the best way to live. God requests the love of our hearts and minds, our speech, and our schedules and deeds. By loving God we can experience true freedom; the freedom to be who we're supposed to be, the freedom to not sin.

Covenant Living: Good and Evil

Dennis McCallum

Exodus 20:1-11

God shares the Ten Commandments with the Israelites after they agreed to be in a covenant with God. God gives the basis for objective morality reflected in the Ten Commandments. The context God shares these commandments is within a loving and rescuing relationship for the Israelites. Today our context is through Jesus Christ.

3 Priorities That Please God and Fulfill You

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

Paul writes to the Thessalonians on ways in which they can live to please God. Three priorities that please God include: 1) getting immersed in Christian community; 2) cultivating quietness before God and giving attention to family; and 3) being financially self-supportive. When Christians are plugged into communities with a healthy investment on Christ-centered relationships, have regular times spent with God and family, and learn to prioritize God's relational priorities while working hard in the workplace, it leads to a fulfilling life that glorifies God.

Imparting Not Just the Gospel, but Your Life

Ben Stuart

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The church can experience great joy as God's power moves through us as a community. Paul explains that both truth and love are essential as he models it in his relationship with the Thessolonians. He loves like a nurturing mother and exhorts like a father. Both are essential to have an impact on others. He loves people where they are at but isn't content to leave them there. He lives this way because he understands it's not about him growing his own church but it's about serving God, leading people toward Him; for His glory and their good.\r\n

God's and Man's Role in Multiplication

Dennis McCallum

Colossians 1:28-29

McCallum teaches that multiplication is better at producing church growth than other ways. In living according to this biblical model it's essential to understand God's role and man's role. Things only God can accomplish in people's lives include: 1) reaching people's hearts; 2) conviction of sin; 3) imparting wisdom; 4) real transformation; 5) imparting hunger for ministry; 6) sustaining motivation. Under a correct view of God's role, we can participate in our role effectively. A few things this includes is exerting myself to love others, trying to disciple others, and playing my part in the body of Christ. Regular reassessment of how we're viewing God's role and our role is necessary for every Christian.\r\n

Christian Discipleship Relationships Pt. 2

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13

Paul continues to share with the Thessalonians his concern for them while they were apart. From this section, we are able to determine two more principles that take place in Christian discipleship. The first is that a major priority in these relationships is face-to-face relating. There was also a healthy concern for one another's spiritual welfare. Paul was able to give himself sacrificially to them because his needs had been met in Christ. Includes excerpts from Sherry Turkle's book "Alone Together" and discusses the negatives that come from replacing face to face relating with immersion into information technology.

Christian Discipleship Relationships

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Thessalonians 2:1-13

Paul writes to the Thessalonians about their relationship, giving insight into what Christian discipleship relationships look like. From Paul's time with the Thessalonians, there were three crucial components of relationships meant to promote spiritual maturity: 1) the message - that through understanding the gospel, people become convinced and mature Christians; 2) the motives of relating with one another to please God, not people; and 3) the manner in which our relationships look like. These elements are critical to adopt if we wish to be successful in discipleship relationships that God provides for us to invest in.\r\n
