Pastor Kim's sermon notes
Christian Taliban
First the book then The movie "The Shack"
The Shack is a Christian novel by Canadian author William P. Young.
An uplifting spiritual journey, it is just not very factual!
We have to be careful where we get our beliefs, not from movies or people that are Christian Taliban. We must rely on Gods Word The Holy Bible and on what the Holy Spirit guides us to!
God
has revealed Himself to man in many other relationships, too. For example, He
is King, Lord, Bridegroom, Husband, Brother, Apostle, High Priest, Lamb,
Shepherd, and the Word. While Father, Son, and Holy Ghost represent three
important roles, titles, or manifestations of God, God is not limited to these
three, nor does the number three have a special significance with respect to
God.
God
appeared to Abraham in a vision, as a smoking furnace and burning lamp, and as
a man (Genesis 15:1; 15:17; 18:1-33). In this last instance, God and two angels
appeared in the form of three men (18:2) and ate food provided by Abraham. The
two angels left to go to Sodom
while God remained to talk to Abraham (Genesis 18:22; 19:1).
God appeared to Jacob in a dream and as a man
(Genesis 28:12-16; 32:24-32). On the latter occasion Jacob wrestled with the
man and proclaimed, "I have seen God face to face." The Bible also
describes this appearance as "the angel" (Hosea 12:4).
God
manifested Himself in the sight of all Israel through thunder, lightnings,
a cloud, a voice of a trumpet, smoke, fire, and earthquakes (Exodus 19:11-19;
Deuteronomy 5:4-5, 22-27). He also showed His glory and sent fire from His
presence in the sight of all Israel
(Leviticus 9:23-24; 10:1-2).
Job saw God in a whirlwind (Job 38:1; 42:5).
Burning
bush to Moses, Pillar of smoke and Pillar of fire to Israel. Still small voice to
Elijah, Galilean Carpenter named Jesus to Roman Empire.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 1 I urge, then, first of all,
that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings
and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all
godliness and holiness. 3 This
is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who
wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator
between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who
gave himself as a ransom for all people.
Romans 14:4-10 4 Who
are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or
fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day
more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them
should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever
regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to
the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord
and gives thanks to God. 7 For
none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.
8 If we live, we live for the Lord;
and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to
the Lord. 9 For this very
reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both
the dead and the living.
10 You, then, why do you judge
your brother or sister[a]? Or why do you treat them with contempt?
For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
Verse for today
Psalm 103 11:12
11-For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those that fear him; 12- As far as the east is from the west , so far he has removed our transgressions from us.
