I have greatly enjoyed this study through Ezekiel. I’m in central ky today is mid Jan high here today is in mid 20 low half that. So as I watch today I’m reminded summer is near. The msg today much more important a reminder no matter how long you have been saved there is work to do. I can only speak for myself and say I feel I have much room for improvement.

I'm a great distance from you and possibly the closest distance to the church. Hello to you Larry - I'm Kris from Oregon USA and 21 miles from this wonderful church. I recently found Athey Creek and attended my first live sermon this past Saturday night (I'd been looking for a Sunday night and hadn't even considered a Saturday night sermon to be an option) What an incredible experience,,, and right in my backyard. I will bring you in my heart when I attend bible study on Wednesday night.

I like your tidious sermons. Hope I spelt that right.

We love Pastor Brett and his teachings! However, when asking people if they want to accept Christ… and Pastor Brett says, “I don’t want to embarrass you by asking you to coming up front”… When we come up front we making a public confession… are we not suppose to be bold and step out and let the world know we want Jesus Christ in our life. Isn’t just raising our hand, with everyone’s head bowed, like the guy who put his talent in a hole? Of hiding our light under a bushel basket? Step out and be bold, to step out is a leap of faith. Not being ashamed your accepting Jesus in your heart and life.

[@PD-iu9bn]

Out of curiosity, where in scripture does it say that when we accept Christ we need to do it publicly?

[@uview1]

I kind of share your sentiment although getting embarrassed in a room of Christian peers can be different than being ashamed of Christ. There is a public confession time later at physical baptism. I love the teachings you referred to but notice the man who hid the talent rejected the master's trust. He had no faith, received no reward, and was not saved. And letting your light shine is in the Biblical context of a believer's selfless actions being seen by others to God's glory. It's not a salvation passage. God bless!

[@Georgie1660]

@@uview1 thank you for the kind response. I do understand the scriptures I used; apparently I failed to explain my use. 😔 I wasn’t digging Pastor Brett, he’s an amazing teacher and absolutely love learning from him. Negative wasn’t my intention, so I must apologize to all that I have offended or upset. ☝🏻❤️ What my point is, if we hide when we are accepting Jesus Christ, will we have the passion and backbone to tell others of Him? 1 Timothy 6:12 (ESV) 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. It’s about being bold and letting the world know you choose Jesus. The Thief on the cross was in front of a whole bunch of witnesses, and those who were there, at the Crucifixion heard it. Jesus even speaks of the importance of boldness. You know, I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong many more times in my life. I guess I just find it very important to be bold and stand up in front of the world and confess my Lord and Savior. 😊

[@PD-iu9bn]

@@Georgie1660 I get what you’re saying. Let me throw some things at you to see if it changes your mind at all. Consider the disciples pre-holy spirit. They had lived along side Jesus, seen His resurrection and ascension, and yet before the Spirit came upon them they were still full of fear of the Jewish leadership. Only after being filled with the Spirit were they bold in their faith. Consider the Ethiopian Eunuch who was with Phillip, not in the presence of many witnesses, when he converted and was baptized. Consider Paul’s conversion, only he could hear Jesus at the time and was with a small group of Jews (not followers of the Way). And when his eyes were opened he was in a private setting with Ananias. Lots of private and semi-private conversions recorded in scripture. Lots of public ones too. But the theme is always the Lord doing the converting, not necessarily the person approaching their conversion with boldness and outwardly. I know of many people who recount their personal conversion as happening alone with a Bible. There are places in the world where churches can’t gather regularly or at all, and public conversions aren’t practical or possible, but thousands upon thousands are getting saved in those areas. When we read 1Timothy 6 we consider everything scripture says and shows us about how a person gets saved, and that helps us put what Paul is writing to Timothy into a larger context. Timothy was pastor and Paul was writing to give him pastoral instruction. So we have to remember that when we read the epistles to Timothy. When Paul writes, “But as for you, O man of God...” (notice Paul says “man” not “men”, so he is talking to a man, namely Timothy.) “...flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” This is an exhortation to Timothy specifically. And also a great word to any believer, but it is not a prescription for how a church should conduct an alter call. That would be projecting something external onto the text. So if a person was saved in a hotel room with a Gideon’s Bible, they would hold that exhortation up to their own experience and it would say , “But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the hotel room when you responded to the gospel as you read from the Gideon’s.” or “when you raised your hand in church to accept the free gift of salvation as you heard the message.” or “when you repented and accepted Christ as your savior in the basement in a Chinese home with two other believers who were conducting an illegal church.” Anyway, public anger calls are great, too. But anyone can go up to the front despite not being genuinely repentant, just like someone can put their hand up and not be genuinely repentant. One cool thing about the raising hand privately where only one witness (the Pastor) observe you is that people are less inclined to be influenced by what is going on around them. If a person sees 25 people getting up and walking to the front, they might be drawn into that and go up too thinking “okay, this is what I am supposed to do.” Whereas someone feeling convicted and raising their hand is free from that kind of influence and can simply, quietly respond to the Holy Spirit. Does that all sound reasonable and scriptural? One thing I know about Pastor Brett is that he doesn’t do anything ecclesiastically without much prayer and seeking the Lord. And that goes for the whole leadership team. Whatever they do, they do because they believe it’s what God is asking them to do. God bless you!

[@glenn77777]

Amen ❤️

[@gloriahauger5191]

Pastor Brett this scripture of James being dooers and not just hearers was so comfusing to me. Because the word of God does say that we are not saved by works but by faith only. Romans says that if we work for our Salvation it is not a gift. We can't work for our Salvation. Abraham belived God by faith and he was saved. We are saved by faith and not by works.....we had a bible study one time and this was made so clear to me. Being dooers of the word of God is doing works for our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. So when we do things for our neighbors our friends, strangers we are serving the Lord. But our works do not save us. We get Saved by believing that Jesus came and died for our sins. That Jesus died for our sins and that Jesus rose from the grave. Romans says if we believe it with our heat and confess it with our mouth Jesus is Lord. For it is with our heart that we believe and are justified and it is with our mouth we confess and are save. ABC A ( acknowledge that you are a sinner) B (Believe that Jesus is Lord) C ( Call upon the Lord and you will ne saved) WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH THROUGH GRACE. thank you I love your ministry. You are an awesome teacher thank you for your minnistry.

Satan can shut him up with food. i pray against that in Jesus name. and replace it with a love of healing foods.

[@shereepfeiffer6356]

Great preacher. i pray he learns how to lose weight so he can keep his heart and body strong. Pray he desires fruit instead of steak. Unprocessed food and home cooking. Good fats instead of bad ones. oven cooked sweet potato chips cut up yourself instead of fried in trans fats. Natvia (Erythritol) instead of sugar. Doing this to your body is a sin and he needs to control/overcome it. Makes me grieve and i have to look at something else while he preaches. Braggin on steak on stage is wrong too. Needs to start speaking out healing foods. Even make a big deal out of eating well so we can all come alongside.

[@rebeccalahendry]

Luke 15:23 Acts 10:9-16 After the Lord gave Paul this vision is when they stopped NOT eating certain foods 1Timothy 4:3-5 Yes over indulgence is a sin but also read these scriptures. We thank God for all foods 1 Timothy 4:8

Sister you need to get the plank of judgement & self-righteousness out of your eye before you take God's job of judgement.
