But how do we know that the 89 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:51,640 preaching of the gospel is pure? Now there is no simple 90 00:06:51,650 --> 00:06:54,200 definition of what preaching is in the Bible. 91 00:06:54,210 --> 00:06:59,240 Pero marami tayo makitang masina binance scriptures about what 92 00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:04,600 true or view or pure preaching is #1 syllabus adding Bible that 93 00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:09,000 God's servants are compelled to pass along his word. 94 00:07:09,070 --> 00:07:13,480 So if it's being put on, I'm preaching for a mandatory, it is 95 00:07:13,490 --> 00:07:17,530 required. It is not optional and it has to 96 00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:22,160 be done regardless of what age are we in, regardless of what 97 00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:25,840 generation are we in, and regardless of the cultural 98 00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:30,340 pressure and whatever opposition opposition may face. 99 00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:35,050 The preaching of the Word of God Have any prophet Amos Salimos 100 00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:41,390 3/8 When the sovereign Lord has spoken, who can but prophecy? 101 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,210 If the Lord has spoken, what can we do but preach the word of 102 00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:48,610 God? You Llampha magagawan, happen. 103 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,530 And another thing that the Scripture says about the 104 00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:55,910 preaching of the Word of God is that the people, you, the 105 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,210 congregants, we are to test what the preacher says about the word 106 00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:04,330 of God.

The preaching of the gospel that 219 00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:05,540 God opens the gate to the sinners. 220 00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:10,740 Aduana Punk IPA. That's why Jesus commanded us 221 00:17:10,869 --> 00:17:14,579 all, Christians of all generations to preach the gospel 222 00:17:14,690 --> 00:17:19,220 even though the forces of hell opposes it, even though the 223 00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:23,839 gates of hell opens up and opposes the preaching of the 224 00:17:23,849 --> 00:17:27,430 gospel. We don't have anything to do but 225 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,490 to continue to preach the gospel. 226 00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:36,890 Jungle Nawani, Apostle Peter at the Apostle Paul to the point 227 00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:41,340 that they said that they intend to do or to know nothing about 228 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:47,970 nothing among the people but that Jesus Christ, but that they 229 00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:51,370 preach Jesus Christ and him crucified. 230 00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:57,430 That is the only message that we should give in this pulpit, not 231 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,210 a message about who we are. How about about how funny we 232 00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:03,680 are? Or how about how smart we are? 233 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,290 Preaching is not about us. Preaching is about Christ now, 234 00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,650 but one acting attitude. Catholic, the Apostle Paul, 235 00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:15,450 acting Apostle Peter Nagsasabi unilad that when they are done 236 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,830 with their ministry, we can confidently say that we have 237 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:26,510 known nothing among you but to preach Christ and Him crucified. 238 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,850 This is the foremost in all of the lies of the duties of office 239 00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:35,630 bearers of ministers. It is a high calling and a 240 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,170 privilege to preach about the one person who can truly make a 241 00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:46,020 difference in our lives and we. And when we are focused on that 242 00:18:46,030 --> 00:18:49,640 goal, when we are focused to reveal to the people that the 243 00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:52,940 atoning work of Jesus Christ, we don't need to worry about being 244 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:56,070 clever. We don't need to worry about 245 00:18:56,460 --> 00:19:00,460 being politically correct or being entertaining. 246 00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:04,620 The only thing that we should worry about is whether we preach 247 00:19:04,630 --> 00:19:10,360 Christ and him crucified. That is the only thing that 248 00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:13,630 matters. That's why faithful preachers 249 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,630 should center their message in Christ. 250 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,670 Because after all, in a sense, the entire Scriptures talks 251 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,420 about Christ, Akala mum bata parunasu, Jesus Christ I 252 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:26,880 Pinagusapan Lanza, New Testament. 253 00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:32,310 No, even from the very beginning of the the Old Testament, in the 254 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,430 opening chapters of Genesis, Christ is already there. 255 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,690 And Christ is in every page of scriptures from Genesis to 256 00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:44,470 Revelation. In Christ all the lines of world 257 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,630 history converge and in him the universe is held together. 258 00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:54,630 That's why when we are preaching, our eyes must be 259 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,290 focused on none other than but Christ. 260 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,890 And we should preach the gospel in whatever circumstances we are 261 00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:05,850 in. We should preach the gospel with 262 00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:08,970 whether we are. In worries component phenomenon, 263 00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:11,110 worries and anxieties are acting church. 264 00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:14,800 If we are celebrating Kapag Marami Consorsbank Joy adding 265 00:20:14,810 --> 00:20:16,900 church, we should also preach the gospel. 266 00:20:17,490 --> 00:20:22,300 When we are in series or or seasons of temptations and 267 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:26,120 longings then still we should preach the gospel. 268 00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:30,520 This is the only word that should be spoken to the church 269 00:20:30,570 --> 00:20:34,510 because this is the only word that has a powerful effect. 270 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,850 And if we are only just listening intently to the 271 00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:42,150 preaching of the gospel, then, brothers and sisters, we will 272 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,170 know that in Christ there is relief for people who are 273 00:20:46,180 --> 00:20:49,800 crushed with guilt. We will know if we are just 274 00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:53,590 listening to the gospel that in Christ there are there is joy 275 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,490 for the troubled, for those people who are troubled with 276 00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:59,550 with anxiety. If you are only listening to the 277 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,050 gospel, then we will know that there is courage for those 278 00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:06,790 people who are trapped in addiction and that there is help 279 00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:11,890 for those who are burdened with broken or wrecked relationship. 280 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,650 There is comfort for the grieving and there is always 281 00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:21,840 hope because Christ does not only promise to forgive us, but 282 00:21:21,850 --> 00:21:27,850 he also promised to restore us. That's why in one way we can say 283 00:21:27,860 --> 00:21:31,660 that preaching the gospel is a joyful thing, Tamapa, because 284 00:21:31,670 --> 00:21:34,680 it's all about promises. It's all about the promise of 285 00:21:34,690 --> 00:21:36,610 the goodness of Christ in our lives. 286 00:21:37,180 --> 00:21:41,080 But also producing sisters preaching. 287 00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:46,260 Although it is joyful, it is also a serious enterprise 288 00:21:46,790 --> 00:21:49,980 because when we are preaching we are talking about eternal 289 00:21:49,990 --> 00:21:52,990 matters. When we are preaching we are 290 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,430 talking about Jesus Christ the King, the one who came to earth 291 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,810 to live a perfect life, to die on the cross, to live again, so 292 00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:07,870 that he can pay for our sins. So the preaching of the gospel 293 00:22:07,930 --> 00:22:12,050 opens the Kingdom so that we can enter in. 294 00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:16,530 And the Heidelberg Catechism. In the Heidelberg Catechism, God 295 00:22:16,540 --> 00:22:22,830 announces to us that the gospel teach us, each of us in every 296 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,740 believer, that we are forgiven of all of our sins. 297 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,590 And that is actually how it is or what it means to enter into 298 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,240 the Kingdom of God. To enter into the Kingdom of God 299 00:22:34,290 --> 00:22:37,260 is to be forgiven of all of our sins. 300 00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:41,320 And that is the message of the Gospel for us. 301 00:22:42,830 --> 00:22:48,900 However, no matter how pleasant in the ears, no matter how 302 00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:54,430 joyful how promising the gospel is, we must make no mistake that 303 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,480 the gospel also comes with the warning. 304 00:22:59,740 --> 00:23:03,210 It comes with a warning that those who will not answer in 305 00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:07,840 true faith will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 306 00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:12,910 The Heidelberg Catechism says that those who are strangers to 307 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,580 the Gospel, those who fail or refuse to believe and obey our 308 00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:22,800 Lord Jesus Christ, will not be included in the Kingdom of God. 309 00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:28,330 Good. Not all who sit in the preaching 310 00:23:28,380 --> 00:23:30,890 of the Gospel believes the message. 311 00:23:32,130 --> 00:23:39,120 Not everyone who comes to church will enter the Kingdom, and the 312 00:23:39,130 --> 00:23:42,930 Heidelberg Catechism says that the Kingdom is closed when the 313 00:23:42,940 --> 00:23:46,790 gospel is preached or proclaimed to all unbelievers and 314 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,530 hypocrites, that the wrath of God and eternal condemnation 315 00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:53,830 rest on them as long as they do not repent. 316 00:23:55,190 --> 00:24:00,180 So you kiss of the Kingdom of God, junkie of the gospel of 317 00:24:00,190 --> 00:24:06,830 Christ, not depending which I think almost Pinto satin 318 00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:15,630 depending contact or that your eye magri fuse tamanivalu sanya. 319 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,270 For those who believe, for those who accept the preaching of the 320 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,070 gospel, the gates of heaven will be open. 321 00:24:22,780 --> 00:24:27,630 But to those who will shut their ears, those who will refuse to 322 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,810 repent after hearing the gospel, the gates of the Kingdom of God 323 00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:34,960 will be shut before their very eyes. 324 00:24:36,610 --> 00:24:42,860 So Jesus is a loving Saviour and He is full of mercy, yet He will 325 00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:47,460 not let those who do not believe in Him to enter into the Kingdom 326 00:24:47,530 --> 00:24:49,800 of God. That's why we can read in 327 00:24:49,810 --> 00:24:54,700 Matthew 16 Deba that even though a person gains the whole world, 328 00:24:55,030 --> 00:24:59,640 he will still lose his own soul if he is not willing to come to 329 00:24:59,650 --> 00:25:03,250 Christ to take up His cross and follow Him. 330 00:25:06,100 --> 00:25:10,320 Chapati, let us not come unprepared over and over a cup 331 00:25:10,330 --> 00:25:13,820 of Binasa Nathan scriptures, La Latina Gospels in Jesus Christ 332 00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:17,040 and Jamie don't warning that Jesus Christ will come like a 333 00:25:17,050 --> 00:25:22,780 thief in the night. Nolan Pasabe, Satin Botswana, 334 00:25:22,790 --> 00:25:25,120 Mariani Mahapatra. The other thing I'm banging on, 335 00:25:25,250 --> 00:25:29,580 Obama detailed that we are unprepared, that we have sit 336 00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:32,800 under the preaching of the gospel several times, but we 337 00:25:32,810 --> 00:25:38,480 have not repented of our sins. Let us not come to the last day 338 00:25:38,530 --> 00:25:43,360 seeing the Kingdom of God shut off in our face. 339 00:25:44,420 --> 00:25:47,650 So the question of the Heidelberg Catechism is whether 340 00:25:47,660 --> 00:25:52,230 we have accepted the promise of the gospel or have we received 341 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,590 Christ in faith? Are we living in faith? 342 00:25:58,110 --> 00:26:03,280 Now to go to another topic, Narinig Unapool by you young 343 00:26:03,290 --> 00:26:07,840 phrase or your Casa behind that the church is not perfect people 344 00:26:08,090 --> 00:26:12,420 but it is for six sinners.

However, it doesn't tell the 352 00:26:48,010 --> 00:26:52,120 whole story. It does not tell the whole truth 353 00:26:52,390 --> 00:26:55,760 because even though the Church is not a place for perfect 354 00:26:55,770 --> 00:27:00,360 people, but it is a place for six sinners, We cannot deny the 355 00:27:00,370 --> 00:27:05,120 fact that for those who come into the Kingdom of God, Christ 356 00:27:05,470 --> 00:27:08,440 demands that they live in a different way. 357 00:27:09,930 --> 00:27:16,680 Jesus seeks faith and obedience from those people who enter into 358 00:27:16,690 --> 00:27:20,520 the Kingdom of God. That's why He has given us the 359 00:27:20,530 --> 00:27:23,300 second key. So Papunta is adding second 360 00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:28,180 point and the second key is the key of church discipline, 361 00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:32,720 because through this key the Kingdom is close to those who 362 00:27:32,730 --> 00:27:37,890 live against His will. Seidenberg catechism Buena basa 363 00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:42,270 punat in kadina that there are people who call themselves 364 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,490 Christians but they are unchristian in their life and in 365 00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:53,180 their doctrine. So nominal Christian, they are 366 00:27:53,190 --> 00:27:59,060 Christians only by name, Ohh, Kanilang paniniwala, you will 367 00:27:59,070 --> 00:28:04,880 see that they are unchristian. But what do we mean by a person 368 00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:08,640 who is unchristian and when it's over and is an person who is 369 00:28:08,650 --> 00:28:12,020 unchristian in his doctrine and his life? 370 00:28:12,250 --> 00:28:15,480 Well, to answer that question, let us define what is a 371 00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:19,560 Christian first. So negatively, a Christian is 372 00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:24,740 not someone, is not only someone who receive the sacrament of 373 00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:28,100 baptism. So indeed Porquet been a pesca 374 00:28:28,430 --> 00:28:32,080 Christian gonna in the definition now Christian. 375 00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:36,730 So a Christian is not only a person who became a member in a 376 00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:40,090 true church, although that is important. 377 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,990 A Christian is not only a person who has a Bible app on his phone 378 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,430 or a person who has a cross pendant in his necklace. 379 00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:53,780 And this is having marijuana people. 380 00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:59,340 I say yeah cause I'm a sample. So indeed. 381 00:28:59,350 --> 00:29:03,480 Pumpkin Christian. Ohh you Indian T-shirt number 382 00:29:03,490 --> 00:29:07,620 Bible verses Indian poem ibigsabihin Rampaging Christian. 383 00:29:08,730 --> 00:29:12,320 But what does the Heidelberg Catechism says about what a 384 00:29:12,330 --> 00:29:16,140 Christian is? A Christian is someone who 385 00:29:16,150 --> 00:29:20,280 confess Christ. A Christian is someone who 386 00:29:20,290 --> 00:29:24,340 presents himself as a living sacrifice of Thanksgiving to 387 00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:27,720 God. A Christian is someone who is 388 00:29:27,730 --> 00:29:32,500 daily involved in the fight against his flesh and the devil, 389 00:29:33,790 --> 00:29:39,860 and a Christian is marked by believing and by doing so he 390 00:29:39,870 --> 00:29:41,070 people Nothing pretty. Sabina. 391 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,850 Just because I'm a member of a Reformed Church, I am already a 392 00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:47,260 Christian. That's not a definition of what 393 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,210 a Christian is. That's why people may call 394 00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:56,550 themselves Christians and we can identify them as unchristian. 395 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:04,480 But if that thing happens and annoyance and the woman arena 396 00:30:04,490 --> 00:30:09,420 banging on an iPad on my mind them out of the church. 397 00:30:10,890 --> 00:30:18,720 No, but Christ wants something to be done for them so we don't 398 00:30:18,730 --> 00:30:20,730 just put them out of the church easily. 399 00:30:20,770 --> 00:30:22,810 And this is a binational good riddance. 400 00:30:25,940 --> 00:30:29,690 But what we should do when we see a brother who claims to be a 401 00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:33,410 Christian but living and believing in an unchristian way 402 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,090 is that we should discipline that brother at Dunn Pupa Paso 403 00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:43,360 Kyunki Nan Church discipline. And it's not an accident that 404 00:30:43,370 --> 00:30:46,590 don't pose a word that discipline Makita natin sarukh 405 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,070 non young word not disciple people that you were not 406 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,770 disciple.
