Jeff Durbin: Putting on a Show

[@Katie.JesusIsKing]

This sermon is cutting for sure. As much as I want to turn it off, I know I need to continue listening. Thank you Apologia for giving the Gospel in rawness. Jesus was not a hippy dippy surfer dude. He is literally God. Same as the old testament. I feel like Paul when he said "I don't do what I ought, and I do what I ought not" It's exhausting to keep falling on my face. I went to my pastor about my drinking and he was kind and listened but all he suggested was AA. And idk if just felt like "you have this problem, go to this box" It's a spiritual problem.. The day I stand before Jesus I just feel like I will fall to the ground and sob and hopefully He will accept me, and living in sin can finally end.

[@SojournerDidimus]

So amazing, how our Lord fulfilled this all. I wish I could find a church near me that taught only a tenth of this depth.

[@kristenspencer9751]

@sojourner, YOU ARE the church! Stop "wishing" and start acting! Go to your pastor and ask if you can lead a Bible Study. Find some videos (You Tube?) of spiritual depth and show them. If you cannot gather at the church, have it in your home. Doesn't have to be a lot of people. Even just 1 or 2 hungry souls. There's GOT to be others like you 'out there' that would come. Put out some light snacks and make coffee or tea. Don't wait on your pastor or elder..God gave YOU a gift. Go for it!

[@FeliciaJohnston-o4u]

I agree. I want to show this to my Pastor he never preaches the word he takes a few scriptures that explain how much Jesus loves you ! Yes he does but like Jeff put here is what I tell my Church and other non believers and believers as well I'm sick of the Hippy Jesus i have said this for awhile now and hearing Durbin speak and describe it this way as well knowing how much he goes into the text makes me so full of joy! Amen!

Dear family In Christ Jesus I am striving to live the way God wants us to Father says come out from among them and be ye a separate people. So I keep fighting that good fight only through Christ I humble myself daily and repeat and I hear Jesus say for him who endures will receive a crown of righteous praise His Holy Name much love Kathleen ❣️

[@ronquiring7796]

Yes! Keep fighting the good fight. Never forget, we have an audience of ONE. HIS opinion is the only opinion that matters. Philippians 3:14 (ASV) I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Thank you pastor Jeff. This message blessed me greatly.

[@samhutchko2623]

Thank you for putting the short message at the beginning again. Years ago when I was coming to a reformed understanding of the gospel I watched your sermons and always heard that short message about your not my pastor and to find a local church and I believe God used that to teach me that and In his providence I have found a very solid reformed Baptist church where I live

[@kristenspencer9751]

Yes. He doesn't want folks ditching their churches and turning to an on-line guy. The church of Jesus was not intended to be a solo thing on-line...but being a witness in a local body of believers where we learn how to "one-another" as it says in scripture.

Can someone share scripture that says it’s a command to be part of a church plz. Thx god bless

[@ericsloan858]

Church membership is suggested by the biblical instruction that all Christians should be accountable to a group of church leaders, such as elders or pastors. Also, 1 Corinthians 12:21-26. Hebrews 10:25: "Not neglecting to meet together as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing nearer"

[@JCIK33Ad]

1. **Hebrews 10:24-25**: - "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." 2. **Acts 2:42-47**: - "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers... And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved." 3. **1 Corinthians 12:12-27**: - This passage talks about the Church as the body of Christ, emphasizing that each member plays a vital role. Verse 27 states, "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." 4. **Ephesians 4:11-13**: - "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith..." 5. **Colossians 3:16**: - "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." 6. **Matthew 18:20**: - "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." This verse underscores the importance of gathering in the name of Jesus. 7. **1 Timothy 3:15**: - "If I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth." These scriptures collectively suggest that being part of a local church community is vital for spiritual growth, accountability, and mutual encouragement among believers. While the Bible may not explicitly command church membership as a legalistic requirement, it certainly supports the idea of being actively involved in a local congregation.

[@LookinguntoJesus777]

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

[@LookinguntoJesus777]

Our assembling together can show the world we have been born of the same Spirit of God and that Spirit is love. The church is the body of Christ and we will all be assembled together one day, but until then we assemble locally and shine the light all across the world until Jesus gathers his own. I Corinthians chapter 12 talks about how we need each other. * At this moment I'm thinking... I don't recall any new testament commandments to fast but Jesus said - Mark 2:20 KJV - But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. It may not be a commandment written down that says "thous shalt fast or go to church", but if one is born again the Spirit in them will lead them, which could be why you asked your question, maybe the Spirit is trying to teach you something. I've learned so much gathering with other saints.... Matthew 18:20 KJV - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

[@Taylor-vy2gg]

@11:25 Pastor Jeff says that Jesus is calling down condemnation on people by his own definition of how Jesus uses the word “woe.” Just remember John 3:17: “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” Jesus is spreading a warning.. that if the false ones continue down the broad path of destruction, they will meet destruction. Jesus is most certainly not calling down curses from heaven. God’s judgment is not asleep. The wicked walk into their own traps, but, the righteous one is delivered from them. Not by his own hand, but by the hand of God. Blessed are those who put their trust in the Lord.

[@Mrs.C-6721]

He's absolutely correct! "Woe" is the immutable curse/destruction coming upon the earth. Christ will put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy is death. We as believers are mandated to preach the gospel. God wants No one perishing in His Holy wrath. We've only a short time. The church will be "Caught Up" God's focus once again is Israel and their salvation. Hallelujah!! Behold, He comes with clouds and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!! Maranatha 🙌
