WELCOMETO OUR WORSHIP!20 FEBRUARY 2011CHURCH OF CHRISTMeditation Scripture

John 14:1-4Romans 16:16… The Churches of Christ Greets You.

John 14  1Let not your heart be troubled: ye

believe in God, believe also in me.  2In my Father's house are many

mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

WELCOMETO OUR WORSHIP!20 FEBRUARY 2011CHURCH OF CHRISTScripture Reading

John 15:1-8Romans 16:16… The Churches of Christ Greets You.

John 15  1I am the true vine, and my Father is

the husbandman.  2Every branch in me that beareth not

fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

 3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

John 15  4Abide in me, and I in you. As the

branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

John 15   6If a man abide not in me, he is cast

forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Abide In Christ so that Christ Can Abide in You

  John 3:3   3Jesus answered and said unto him,

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God

John 3:3  5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say

unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:50 

 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

God is concerned most of all about our spiritual relationship with Him.  John 4:24 ..”we must worship God in

the Spirit and in Truth” I Cor 14: 15 we should pray with the

Spirit and I Cor14:15 we should sing with the

Spirit.

God is concerned most of all about our spiritual relationship with Him.  Rom 8:1 We should walk after the Spirit Rom 8:14 We must be lead by the Spirit Eph 5:18 We should be filled with the

Spirit Gal 6: 1 We must restore a wayward

brother or sister in the Spirit of meekness

Romans 8:6 

   6For to be carnally minded is death;

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:6 

   6For to be carnally minded is death;

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Acts the 19th Chapter

   2He said unto them, Have ye received

the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Acts the 19th Chapter

   2He said unto them, Have ye received

the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism

John 3:8Jesus use the wind as an example  8The wind bloweth where it listeth,

and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 3:8Jesus use the wind as an example  8The wind bloweth where it listeth,

and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Gal 5: 22-

 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,

goodness, faith,  23Meekness, temperance: against

such there is no law.  24And they that are Christ's have

crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Eph 5:9

  9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

We used the analogy Wednesday night

II Tim 2

19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour

II Cor 4:7

7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

baptized in the watery grave of baptism. The bible says that puts you into Christ Mark 16;16, Acts 2:38, Gal 3:26-27, Rom 6:4 , I Pet 3:20-21

The spirit is like that the seal of the vessel offruits. Eph 1:13 Eph 4:30

The spirit is like that the seal of the vessel of fruits.

Ephesians 1:13   13In whom ye also trusted, after that

ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

The spirit is like that the seal of the vessel of fruits.Ephesians 4:30   30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Galatians 4:19-22 

 19My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

 20I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

John 15:4-5   4Abide in me, and I in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

 5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Abide In Christ so that Christ Can Abide in You 6If a man abide not in me, he

is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

 7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

This is the mystery of Godliness. Colossians 1:27   27To whom God would make

known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Galatians 2:20 

 20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

 Phil 1:21

21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain

 2 John 1:9 

 9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

Hebrews 3:7-8  

 7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

 8Harden not your hearts,

2 Corinthians 6:2-3 

   2(For he saith, I have heard

thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Revelation 22:17  

   17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
