151st Street Church of Christ - Olathe, KS

This year, we are focusing on discipleship – our commitment to follow Jesus and learn from him so that we can be like him and lead others to him. Four areas of focus come out of our definition of discipleship: 
1. Learning to act like Jesus – “our commitment to follow Jesus.” 
2. Learning to think like Jesus – “to learn from him.” 
3. Transforming into a Christlike person – “be like him.” 
4. Teaching other people about Jesus – “lead others to him.” 
Those four areas – acting, thinking, transforming, and teaching – will form the foci for our preaching in 2022. This month, we begin focusing on acting like Jesus and will give attention to learning to act like him in our relationships with other people. This lesson will consider Jesus’ interaction with Lazarus’ family in John chapter eleven to help us think about our interactions with suffering and hurting people.

Jesus Wept - John 11:33-35

Even as events of this life can be painful and daunting, Christians can live with confidence that in eternity all will be good.  There is no hardship of this physical life that can cast a shadow on the glory that the faithful will experience in heaven.

Confident Christians - 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:8

PM Sermon: Maintain Good Works 
Scripture: Titus 3:1-8 
 
Paul warns against false teachers, but says little to actually identify the false teachings. He says much about the bad behavior that false teachings would promote. Our behavior is to be a response to what God has done for us, and not a response to what other people have done to us.

Scripture: Titus 3:1-8

Maintain Good Works - Titus 3:1-8

The Bible tells us how to live, but rather than doing so in lists of rules, it calls us to think about who we are as God’s people and how we should then live.  Christians are a “new creation”.  We are reconciled with God.  How can one who is in fellowship with God then enter into compromising fellowship with unbelievers?  Paul says that we should not, but then leaves it to us to reflect on the day-to-day applications of that principle.

Unequally Yoked 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

In his call for holiness, Paul opens with strong teaching on sexual purity.  The ancient world was too much like our own in the area of lax sexual morality.  Christians were surrounded by propaganda to be immoral, so Paul reminds them of the need to be pure.  His argument is based entirely on the fact that purity is what pleases God.  People (Christians) who know God abstain from sexual immorality.  Those who don't know God, don't.  Daily, Christians are called to choose which side we will serve.

Sexual Purity, Holiness & God's Will 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Don't judge a book by its cover.  In the 1st century, a book with a cross or a crucified person on the cover would not have sold many copies.  People were repulsed by the very idea of a crucifixion.  Isaiah prophesied that the Suffering Servant would be despised.  The apostles reacted negatively whenever Jesus talked about being crucified.  When Jesus was arrested, they fought and then fled, but in either case, they wanted no part of a crucifixion.  At the cross, no run ran up to show support for the victim.  Afterwards, Satan thought the crucifixion was a victory for him, and Peter was devastated.  But on Pentecost, Peter made the crucifixion the centerpiece of his sermon.   Was the crucifixion a good thing or a bad thing?

Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?"
