The Sermon on the Mount

The Real Cause of The Conflict In The Church (35 mins)

The Church is dividing at the moment over immigration. This isn't the first issue, and it won't be the last. A storm is rising. We don't want to stop the storm that tests our foundation. We want to pass the test. Matthew 7:24“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25“and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27“and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” 28And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

The Delusion in the Church

Lukewarm is delusional and deadly. no one gets wholehearted and on fire on accident. It is actually safer for the cold, or unsaved, than the lukewarm right now. Do you know why?Revelation 3:15“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.16“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Direction (47 min)

Direction is everything in following Jesus.  Jesus didn't call us to simply get a new location in salvation, but a new DIRECTION.  To be "born again" means to begin again...in a new direction, with new possibilities and capabilities.This is super important for those fasting right now.  What direction are you fasting into?This is also a prelude to upcoming teaching on Laodicea.

Greatness in Humility: Why Dying to Yourself REALLY Matters in the End Time (52 min)

Luke 14:7-11  So He told a parable to those
who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them:
 8  "When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not
sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;
 9  and he who invited you and him come and say to you, 'Give place
to this man,' and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.  10
 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that
when he who invited you comes he may say to you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then
you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.
 11  For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles
himself will be exalted."
 
Revelation 3:7-10  "And to
the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is
holy, He who is true, "HE WHO HAS THE KEY OF DAVID, HE WHO OPENS AND NO
ONE SHUTS, AND SHUTS AND NO ONE OPENS":  8  "I know your
works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you
have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.  9
 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews
and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet,
and to know that I have loved you.  10  Because you have kept My
command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall
come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

The Narrow Road of End Time Joy and Safety (55 min)

The tragic result of a lack of teaching of Revelation to the Church is a lack of understanding of where the safe place is in the unfolding tribulation.  There IS a safe place...it is promised over and over:Revelation 3:10  Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.Luke 21:36  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."There is a narrow road...a "one thing" quality to getting to the safe place, described in Psalm 27:Psalms 27:4-5  One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.  5  For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.Because there is so little Bible confidence on this subject in the Church, there are two main ditches many are falling into on both sides of the narrow road of end time safety and joy.  These are the two ditches:1. over-optimism...those who say nothing to really do, God loves me so I am good...nope...this eschatology doesn't hold up to ANY Biblical scrutiny:Amos 9:10  All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.'You must choose your end time safety, just as Lot had to CHOOSE to flee to Zoar and not look back. Many are not choosing because they think there is no danger.  They believe God will just magically make them agree with His plans...this isn't faith, it is presumption.  This is a very deep ditch.BUT, there is an equally dangerous ditch, called 2. FEAR.  Conspiracy thinking has left many who actually see the trouble thinking very wrong things about what to DO about the trouble:Isaiah 8:11-15  For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:  12  "Do not say, 'A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.  13  The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.  14  He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  15  And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken."Conspiracy thinking, though it has elements of insight, lacks REVELATION...because it doesn't offer the NARROW PLAN of greatness, joy, and safety of the end times.Both of these ditches... presumption and the paralyses of fear...are meant to keep us off of the narrow road of REVELATION.  This message is intended to shine some light on the road that will leave many more joyful in the time of shaking than they could really imagine right now...but the joy comes from seeing the trouble for what it really is!
