Ep. 138 - Haiti Ministry: Who is your King?

The Love of Missions

Haiti Ministry

Pastor Julio Cap-Haitien, Haiti

We thirst for something outside of this world that can only be found inside of Christ. Who is your King?

Gospel Response: Is God drawing you near because you have been far away or is God calling you to do something you haven't been doing?

Ep. 137 - Haggai Series: Are you complacent in any area of your life that God has called you to be active and obedient in? Haggai 1:12-15

Haggai: Return of the King. God's presence is promised to return. God woke up His complacent people. Are you complacent in any area of your life that God has called you to be active and obedient in? God's authority invokes obedience!

 

THEM:

- God's Authority Invoked Obedience

- God's Word Led to Obedience - God's Presence Awakened Obedience

 

US:

- God freed us through Jesus

- God calls us to build the church for His presence to dwell throughout the world.

- God INVOKES us to build.

- God LEADS us to build.

- God AWAKENS us to build.

 

Gospel Response: In Christ, contentment is the peace of lacking nothing, yet finding everything, never needing more, but faithfully willing to receive or give more. Complacency is the ignorance of feeling as if you lack nothing, while longing for more but not having the ability to find more.

Ep. 136 - Haggai Series: Has comfort become an idol for you? Haggai 1:1-11

Haggai: Return of the Temple. We have purpose in our freedom, to spread the Kingdom of God. Has comfort become an idol for you? God calls the people to rebuild the Temple. The reason is they have failed to follow through with their faithfulness to God. They continue this and it's fulfilled in the new dwelling place of God, in us.

 

God works through Haggai not to Haggai

- The challenge is to build the Kingdom.

- We can either build the kingdom commitment or worldly excuses.

God has chosen to work through the Church rather than a particular nation. God has chosen to dwell in you rather than a temple.

 

Haggai points to Jesus:

- God uses Zerubbabel.

- God is building a new temple.

 

Gospel Response:

- Be faithful, even if it means being uncomfortable.

- Be sent, even if it means being uncomfortable.

Ep. 135 - Titus Series: Who is with you in your walk to serve God? Titus 3:12-15

Church Unity in Ministry: So, unite together to serve God wherever He calls you. Who is with you in your walk to serve God? The church was united by Christ. It was specifically united around the task he gave them to make disciples in all the nations. We need to talk about our ministry to one another and the world more often.

- Paul Built a Ministry Team in Deep Community

- Paul Sent United Disciples to Make Disciples

- Paul Built Unity Around Ministry

 

We don't have true community without true unity. Every community creates parameters for unity. Christ destroyed immoral unity on the cross and built up a unity from love through the cross. The unity of the church is its degree of freedom from divisions among true Christians.‌ - Wayne Grudem

 

Recipe for Unity: Set Right, Think Right, Live Right, Do Right

‌- The Church doesn't have Fans

- Serving Together Builds Unity and Community

 

Gospel Response:

- Serve in a local church setting.

- Serve in a missional setting.

- Seek leadership for direction.

Ep. 134 - Titus Series: The gospel unites and sin divides. Titus 3:9-11

The gospel unites and emboldens while worldly desires divide and extinguish. The gospel unites and sin divides. Church Unity in the Gospel: The church was united by Christ, it's foolish to let division seep into the church. Therefore, a solid faith and hope will prevent these dissensions.

Types of Division in Crete:

1. Foolish Debates

2. Genealogies

3. Quarrels/Disputes about the Law

Rejecting Division Self-condemnation here comes because the pride of the divisive person makes them the savior rather than Jesus.

Gospel Response:

‌- Set your Minds on Christ and His Gospel

- Seek First the Kingdom of God

- Identify "Hills to Die On"

Ep. 133 - Titus Series: God purifies His people. Titus 3:1-8

Grace outside the Church. God purifies His people. The people of the church are transformed by the grace of God and it changes the way we live with those outside of the church. Live Different in the Community. Live Different because you are Regenerated and Renewed. Live Different because you are Devoted to Good Works.

3 things people say that you do that hurts them that might be sin:

What does scripture say about those struggles?

• Have you consulted other Christians to analyze this sin?
• Have I consulted other Christians to overcome potential sin in my life?
• Have I gained self control over this sin or struggle? ‌

Gospel Response:

• Submit to Christ-Control
• Recognize Works that are not “Good”
• Engage the Resources Around You to Overcome Sin

Ep. 131 - Titus Series: Every age and every situation can proclaim the gospel. Titus 2:1-10

Despite unhealth in the church, Titus is to recognize the grace of God in the church. No age and no situation exempts you from the sanctifying work of the Spirit. Every age and every situation can proclaim the gospel. Empty Talk: Prosperity Gospel

1. If you water down the gospel, people leave.

2. If you live a false life, people leave.

3. The gospel should change the way we live, and that will proclaim the gospel to the world.
