Partnership in the gospel!

Partnership in the gospel! Phil.1:4-5

A. An easy and lazy way to get blessing from God!

1. This does not sound like decent people would do!

2. But this is what Christianity preachers and their supporters do!

3. They specially point out this phrase--> your partnership in the gospel! Phil.1:4-5

4. Yes, their preachers disobey China ordinance --> foreign preachers are prohibited to preach in China!

5. But they dead set insist --> I risk my body life, disobey their ordinance to preach in China!

6. You need only to sit, enjoy peace in America send money to support me you share God’s blessings!

7. Brother Yee, before he was converted did just that!

    He sent money to support a preacher to preach his twisted gospel in disobedience to China ordinance!

    After he was converted and gave this preacher a chance to rectify his wrong, failed, he stopped!

B. Give money to support preaching is partnership in the gospel!

1. But before you do, you must make sure the preacher is from the church of Christ!

2. I am sure, only preacher in church of Christ can preach a gospel which Paul, Peter and John preached!

3. Paul said anyone even an angel preach a gospel different from what he preached be condemned! Gal.1:8

4. Peter said anyone distort what Paul wrote distort to their destruction! 2 Peter 3:16

5. John said support preach different teaching is sharing in wicked work!

    If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or

    welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work. 2Jn.1:10-11

6. Partnership with Christianity preachers is partnership in lawlessness! 1Jn.3:4

C. To what degree Christianity people partnership in their wicked work? Jn.10:24-28

1. The Jews gathered around Jesus, saying: How long will you keep us in suspense? Jn.10:24

2. Jesus answered: I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me,

    but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. Jn.10:25-26

3. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Jn.10:27

4. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. Jn.10:28

D. In ancient times this was what happened! Hosea 4:6-8

1. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

    Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:

    seeing you have forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. Hosea 4:6

2. As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. Hosea 4:7

3. They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. Hosea

4. And it shall be, like people, like priest;

    and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. Hosea 4:9

E. These are truth only in church of Christ! Phil.1:4-14

1. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. Phil.1:4

2. Because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. Phil.1:5

3. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the

    day of Christ Jesus. Phil.1:6

4. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains

    or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. Phil.1:7

5. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. Phil.1:8

6. This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, Phi.1:9

7. So that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.1:10

8. Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—

    to the glory and praise of God. Phil.1:11

9. Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 1:12

10. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard

    and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. Phil.1:13

11. Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God

    more courageously and fearlessly. Phil.1:14

F. Give money only in church of Christ this will not happen to you! Matt.7:22-23

1. Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name,

    and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Matt.7:22

2. Then I will tell them plainly: I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers! Matt.7:23

May the Lord bless you and keep you always!  Preach this February 2, 2020.
