1/28/24 Right Living and Right Teaching in the Kingdom of God
Scripture: Acts 18:24-36
Evangelist: Bro. Ian D. Nickerson, Sr.
- The coming and going of the kingdom of God: Right Living and Right Teaching
- Radical transformation in our thinking that shows up in our living
- We live our lives based on the tenets of Christianity and what is written in the word of God
- Right teaching- proclaiming and declaring his message to the world
- We have responsibilities and the going has to do with our teaching. As you go you can’t teach what you want to teach.
- 1 Cor. 6:9
- When you come to Jesus, you inherit the kingdom of God. To come to Jesus, you have to make changes in your life
- You have to come in contact with the blood of Jesus
- Matthew 19:16
- Question: What’s stopping you from making the decision to be born again? What’s stopping you from living your life for Jesus?
- You can’t get to dirty that God can’t clean you. Don’t let anything stop you from going to Jesus
- Acts 18:24
- In order to teach you need to know the word of God
- Some of us may love the Lord and know the Bible, but your teaching about Jesus is coming up short
- This is the situation with Apollos. All he knew was up to John’s baptism.
- You can only teach what you know
- It’s possible to know God, love God, tell other people about God, like Apollos
- Because Apollos didn’t know about Jesus
- Acts 19:1-2
- It’s important to have the right teaching
- Paul knew when you teach some things people come to Christ. Apollos wasn’t teaching it
- People have a zeal for God but its not only according to Jesus
- Romans 10:1-2
- 1 Timothy 4:15
- 1 Peter 1:22
- The right teaching is important
- We are born again through the teaching and word of God
- Sometimes the word of God is offensive and a stumbling block for many. But that’s why we have to lay down our life and surrender to Jesus.
- Coming and going is the right living and right teaching
