0:00
Speaker 2Hey. Good morning, everybody. Good to see you. It looks like some of you were outside all day yesterday. It is good to be here with you this morning, and we are here to meet with the Lord.
0:09
We're just gonna do kind of an more of an acoustics kind of a worship, but that just means that, you need to sing louder, and, and I'd really like you to because we have an opportunity to really use this breath that God gave us to worship God with it and meet with him. And it's really a privilege for us to be able to do that. This we have this common faith and this hope in Christ, and it ought to bring us joy. And so would you stand out and we'll just sing together and and praise God. Alright.
0:50
Rest the Lord. Let's God, we're grateful to be able to meet with you, and we wanna praise you and use this breath in our lungs to give you praise. For you are our hope. In Christ's name, amen. You can be seated for a bit.
4:03
Speaker 1Amen and good morning. How are y'all? Good. I've got a couple, a few announcements. That was not the ones I was expecting about but hey, that is today.
4:13
Today, we're having a Spanish Bible study starting at one hundred thirty here. It will be Christian that is going to be speaking. Christian Rosas will be preaching today on John 119 through 34. Monday nights at First B happens every single week at 06:15. Meal, music, and a message right down the hall happens at the same time as Awana.
4:37
Would you please pray for these people? This is a team from First B that is going to Guatemala. We all have our tickets. We have not completely paid for this trip. Just a, hey, how do you do?
4:51
Out there. So, you can pray for this team that's going to Guatemala. There's seven of us. Y'all probably know Lauren Fry, Casey McCooey, Brian McCooey. This is Michael Adams.
5:00
Some of y'all might not know him. He is a valley wide Christian. He goes a lot to the Cornelia Fellowship and the 08:00 service at the Presbyterian Church. He's been to Nicaragua four times with them. He was actually on the trip last year when Karen Colclow was killed.
5:17
He was down there. He feels very, very drawn to Central America. I think he'll eventually be a missionary there and he heard what we were going, was unable to go to Nicaragua this year, but he really felt he needed to be there, and I agree with him and so that's Michael Adams. Please praise for Michael. That's yours truly and Brooklyn and Albany, Mccooey also.
5:40
So, if y'all would be praying for this team going to Guatemala second week in May, various times of leaving out and various times of getting back, the ninth through the sixteenth is our time at Esperanza the Vida in Zacapa, Guatemala. There's a discovery class typically in the pastor's office today at 10:00 between services. If you would like to be a part of that class, then, because you want to be a member, you're thinking about becoming a member. Would you please let me know right after this is over? Usually, Gary Geek does that and he is not here today.
6:26
First B Book Club has two more Wednesday nights, April twenty second and twenty ninth last Wednesday, I thought went rather well. We had a good group show up and the discussion was engaging. It was interesting and we stuck stuck to the book for at least part of the time. We're going to try to stick to the book, the the seven lessons to learn from the seven churches in Revelation and as it relates to Christianity and Islam. So, that's next week.
6:56
My sister's closet, April 24 at 6PM here at First B. That is all that I know about that event right there. That's enough. Camp Bethel. Camp Bethel in the Bighorn Mountains, the My Sister's Closet stuff is in the bulletin.
7:11
If you want to know more about it, look in the bulletin. Camp Bethel is the youth camp for the spring retreat. It is happening May first through the third. Please see Renzy about that. The Manly Men's Spring Retreat is May 2.
7:27
Please see Matt Litzelman or Dan Tolson about that. VBS, my goodness, it looms large. June twenty second to twenty sixth. Krista Clemmer, would you stand up? With Addie in your lap.
7:39
That's Krista. Talk to Krista if you'd be interested in volunteering and welcome. Glad you all are here and if you would stand up, I'm trying to eliminate the announcements altogether, people but those were all the weird ones. Get together and love one another and we'll bring you back together with a song.
13:52
Speaker 2Got a verse to share with you. It's from Colossians three and it says this, since you've been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things, for you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. He's our new identity now when we become a believer. When Christ who is your life appears, then you will also appear with him in glory.
14:27
Before the throne. Before the throne of God alone, God, we are here to praise you, the the risen son of God, the spotless, perfect one who died in our place and for our sin, and I pray that this message would never get old to us. I thank you for your great love for us. I thank you for making us more like your son, Jesus. I thank you for this process of sanctification that we're all in.
18:16
We're not perfect, and we realize that. We confess that to you. We we mess up every day, but I thank you, God, that Jesus has paid our sin in full. And we boast in his work and his work alone, and I pray that this great message of grace would just fall on us. And it would be it would just feel fresh once again, that we would realize that when we put our faith in you, we're no longer subject to to judgment, but we're justified.
18:50
We are made right. And that is such a privilege to be able to just speak with you every day, God, because we're justified, and we can come boldly to just talk to you as a friend, but also as our savior. And for that, I I I just thank you. I thank you that you are near us every day, not just here in this worship service, but every day in our lives. I thank you, God, for every gift that you give.
19:16
I thank you that we have places to live. We have food to eat, and I'm grateful for that. But I pray, God, we'd also look outside of ourselves, realize that everything that you give, it's from you. Every everything that we have, it's it's it's from you. And I I pray that out of that, there would just be a gratefulness and a sincere thankfulness on our part, and it would make us generous givers.
19:45
You say that, for God so loved the world that he gave his only son. You're a generous God, and I pray that we would be generous followers of you. So would you take these gifts and these offerings and use it? Use it so that the gospel can spread and that people come to know you. Know that they're loved by you, that they're saved by you.
20:07
They can have hope and joy in you. I pray this in Christ's tremendous name. Amen.
24:02
Speaker 1Amen. Thank you, Kev. Had to get my Bible. I have a couple of a couple of things this week that I I didn't fill in the illustrations in the slides. This one has so many different places, so many different places where it comes to where it comes to bear on our life today.
24:24
And I I have been thinking about my own areas in my own life that I I noticed at some point that God revealed to me that Christian Christianity that Christ revealed and this section, I hope it'll come out in the script but of of scripture but I've got a couple of things that I want to start off with. One of em is from the constitution of The United States Of America. We live in a great country. It's fantastic. Let me see if I can find this.
25:08
But in article one section two, this is this is what it says. Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included with this union. So it's the constitution that's setting up our framework and it still doesn't know how many states there will be. They may be more accepted. So it says, representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union according to their respective numbers.
25:37
So population is going to matter. Wyoming eventually would have a lot less representation than others because it has less people depending on how you look at that statement. Which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, indentured servants, and excluding Indians not taxed, and three fifths of all other persons. That hung up with me and then my own personal life just when I was in high school, I was in a in a school that was about sixty forty, black, white in Georgia. And I had I I played basketball, the only white guy on the basketball team, and had friends who were white, black, Mexican, although I did not know it at the time.
26:26
And later, after high school, and I got along, I felt like I got along with everybody, and I felt like I was not a racist. I felt like I was not the least bit xenophobic. We're all from Georgia. I mentioned last week about Alabama and how we felt about that, and I heard about it all week long. I went to bed one night like any other night, had not anything on my mind particularly.
26:52
I may have mentioned this story one time in here before, but it's a very deep thing for me. I had a dream, and in that dream, I was at a dance, and I was dancing with the most beautiful person I had ever laid eyes on. And I just knew that this was the one for me. This was the girl for me, and I knew it. And I was blown away by her.
27:15
But I would not ask her to dance for a little while. I danced around it, and then I went and said, I'm gonna do it, and I asked her to dance. And then there we were, and I knew and I was knowing that this is the person that God had for me. There was no doubt in my mind. This was the one.
27:31
But I would not kiss her, and I wouldn't tell her because I couldn't tell what race she was. And for me, it blew me away because I already thought I was not a racist. I did not think that I had anything, but I wouldn't take a step that I knew was the right step because I couldn't tell, because I was uncertain, because of fear. And so that personally for me and then the constitution of The US, I believe, oh my goodness, I believe in this country and the ideals of this country. But it took this country almost a hundred years to make that right on paper.
28:08
And almost a hundred more to make it even more right to where it was actually starting to happen. People are by their very sinful nature. By their very nature, people are xenophobic. Xenophobic is when you are afraid of the other, of the outside. And xenophobia is something that Christ gets people through and over.
28:30
And so that's what we're going to talk about today. The slides this week, Galatians is where we're studying. Galatians is awesome. It's so so gospel centered and it's a lot of fun. I'm going to do kind of the prep.
28:49
You know, y'all watch serial shows where you forget what happened last week. I'm going to do a little bit of this. God's got Paul's gospel authority was God given. He's going to spend a lot of time in this book because the Galatians were beginning to doubt that when he wrote this letter and his Christ centered message is true. We've covered that a couple of different ways in two different weeks.
29:12
I would say, not only is it true, but this book says it's true for all people groups forever. So Paul's autobiography, we we started this last week. I told you I wanted to get just a base hit. Get on base and then maybe clean up this week or maybe next week. And this is it.
29:30
His autobiography. He lays it out like this. For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and I tried to destroy it. I don't know if I tried to drop out and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation and I was being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers but when it pleased God at exactly the right time in history, when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through his grace to reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the Gentiles. That was the turn.
30:08
At the moment of Paul's conversion, that was the turn for him. It was no longer I, I, I, I, I, I, but it was about God. From then on, he saw how he was and who he was and God changed him. And he says that I might preach him among the Gentiles and I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those apostles before me. Now, he's mentioning this to the Galatians because they think that Paul was preaching just part of the message that came from Jerusalem.
30:39
The people who really knew Jesus and he didn't really know Jesus. Paul disagrees. Saul of Tarsus is converted by Jesus and becomes the apostle Paul. Three years passes it says before he goes up to Jerusalem and he stayed for a couple of weeks, fifteen days. Seeing Peter and James and when he saw them, he didn't have any problems with them.
30:59
They didn't have any additions, no corrections for what he was doing. They loved him. Send him back out. On his own, you know, God given authority, not because of them and then fourteen years passes. He traveled in Arabia and Damascus.
31:17
He travels in Syria and Cilicia but Paul goes back to Jerusalem after those fourteen years with Barnabas and Titus at his side. So, now he's got more. This is, I believe, the Jerusalem Council that we read of in Acts 15. And in this time, concerning the gospel that Paul and Barnabas preached and that Peter and James and the other apostles preached, we see that there was no division, no confusion, no additions, no subtractions. It was the gospel of Jesus Christ.
31:49
The message of the cross. Y'all know that slide. We've we've had it go up on the screen just about every week for months now. It was the same gospel. There was nothing added.
31:59
It was that Peter was having great success among the Jews. So, he stayed with the Jews. Paul was having great success among the Gentiles preaching the same message but Paul went to the Gentiles. That's the way that it was. So, that's that gets you up to that's what happened last week.
32:17
There was no division, no confusion, no additions, no subtractions. So in Galatians, it's supposed to be two eleven through 21. Paul's confrontation with Peter and his identification as co crucified with Christ. Now, when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed. That's uncomfortable.
32:42
The to be blamed here, it says, because he stood condemned. Four, before certain men came from James, James was apostle. Jesus's half brother lived in Jerusalem. Typically, it was short form to say from James just from a Jerusalem church. For before certain men came down from James, he would eat with the Gentiles but when they came, he withdrew and he separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision and I underline fearing.
33:13
This is holy writ. This is scripture. This is why Peter did what he did. You can read it and go, well, that's alright. There were visitors from out of town.
33:23
They're from his hometown for him to go over and eat with them. That would have been just fine. No problem. But if you're thinking that, you don't understand the issue of table fellowship among the Jews. Jewish people before Christ, Jewish people would not eat with Gentiles.
33:39
Wouldn't eat in the same house with Gentiles. They wouldn't eat the same food, the same way. They were, they would keep kosher, we call it. And Peter was the one in Acts 10 that had the direct revelation from God that those dietary laws would be changing. Remember the sheep coming down from heaven?
33:58
All types of animals and he said, take and eat, Peter. So, Peter knew it for himself and he came probably on sabbatical from Jerusalem to Antioch and while he's there at Paul and Barnabas' church, he is eating and having a good time and the liberty that Christ has given. The freedom, he's enjoying cross cultural fellowship and sharing the table with him. He was eating with the Gentiles, but when the guys from his hometown came, he withdrew and he separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision, those of the circumcision party or those hardline Jews. Could call them right wingers, pharisaical Jewish Christians.
34:43
Now Paul's already told this story. He was a pharisee. Right? He came out of that, and he recognized this and seeing this, he saw it and he had to confront it. Now a quick story about confrontation.
34:56
There's a there's a tale of two guys that are arguing and tooth and nail. I mean, they're just button heads left and right. They do not agree on the situation at all. And so they said, we're going have to call in somebody else, an arbitrator, mediator, because we are getting nowhere. So they call the guy who is to be the wise sage of town, and they ask him.
35:17
And one of them calls him and ask, tells him the whole situation and he's speaking to him by himself and he goes, well, you know what? You're exactly right. The guy feels vindicated. He goes away. The next day, he calls the other guy in.
35:32
He comes in. He explains the situation the way he sees it and he gets all the way through the whole situation and the sage says, well, you know what? You're exactly right. The wife of the sage has been watching this whole interchange and when the second guy leaves, he said, you can't do that. You just told two people who are diametrically opposed that both of them were exactly right.
35:56
And he said, you know what? You are exactly right. There are some people that just hate conflict. We'll do anything they can to avoid it. So Paul is not one of those people.
36:12
Paul's not like that at all. If he sees something, he will say it. But he does speak the truth and love. People get on to him for being harsh here or they think, poor Peter, Peter was always sticking his foot in his mouth and everything but poor Peter, he he he probably was just afraid. He probably knew that they were jerks but he was just thinking, well, if I just do this for the weekend, they'll go home.
36:37
And it won't be any big deal about it at all. And I can go back to eating with the Gentiles and experiencing the the liberty. That's their problem, not my problem. I don't wanna rock the boat. So Peter was fearing a little bit of confrontation.
36:48
Paul, not so much. And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, with Peter, such that or so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. So Peter is a leader, can't help it, natural leader. And when he chooses to withdraw from the Gentiles and go sit with the Jews, the circumcision party. The rest of the Jews also.
37:15
So, it went from a homogenous group of Christians to a heterogeneous group of ex Jewish Christians and ex Gentiles, everything else Christians. They were split. They were separated. To the point that even Barnabas. Now, I can expect it out of Barnabas because Barnabas is used to be in all things to all people.
37:35
He's a friendly guy. He would not want to rock the boat, I don't think. That's the reason he called Paul in to come up to Antioch in the first place. You have to draw the line. This gets to our point that we've been going over for the past three weeks.
37:47
First of all people, be real. If you're Peter, be real about it. If you're gonna eat with the Gentiles when your cousins aren't watching, eat with them when they are watching. Be real about it. And this is Paul but when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel.
38:07
Now, was Peter sharing the gospel with these people? Was he sharing the gospel with the Jews? They had come down. These are Jewish Christians that came. When I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I like the ESV version of this too but when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, that gets the sense of it very very well.
38:34
The gospel has implications. The gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ is every single one of us is a sinner and by all rights deserves death, eternal death. We deserve nothing more than hell but through the gospel of Jesus Christ, perfect life, perfect sacrificial, and atoning death and given us the whosoever to believe. The grace of God given through the gospel of Jesus should continually flow through every recipient. Everyone who has accepted the gospel should be a channel of God's grace.
39:14
We should be able to get past our xenophobia which is human. We should be able to get through that, and we should be able to do it fairly effortlessly every day through the gospel. Our spirit and our flesh will war about this. I am not saying that it's easy to be around people that you're very, very different from people that from whom you're very, very different. But an implication of the gospel is that you should be.
39:43
When I read the constitution, I think that they counted everybody else as three fifths of a man or Indians are not at all. That makes me cry, and I can't help it. I I I wept last night thinking about it, and it took a hundred years and a war. It is entirely possible to be saved because it's by the grace of God. Right?
40:08
It's not by what you do. It is entirely possible to be saved and to also be out of step with that fact. With the way that you're acting, you're not stepping in sync with the gospel. Has anybody ever done that? Yeah.
40:26
Yes. What's next? But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, if you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? Now, you might say compel Peter wasn't compelling anybody. Peter was a leader.
40:54
Peter, just by his very action, gave other people an example to follow and it says that they followed it. So, you could not help but think if you were a Gentile Christian seeing Peter and Barnabas and all of the other Jewish Christians, it seems like everybody except for Paul. It would be very hard for you not to feel like a second class citizen. It'd be very, very hard for you not to feel like a junior varsity Christian that didn't have it all together, That you had to do something to attain. You had to go for those dietary laws if you wanted the full gospel.
41:31
Paul is saying that is not the case. We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles. Sinners of the Gentiles is a I think it should be in quotes. I think that he's saying, sinners of the Gentiles. I think that's what he's saying.
41:49
I'm not positive about that. Most commentators agree with. He's like, we who are Jews by nature, yeah, we're the chosen people but not sinners of the Gentiles of the nations. Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. So, you get what he says?
42:09
We, Jewish Christians, we, who are Jews by nature, we're born into this, wasn't our choice, we are born into this race, this is the way that we were, Knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law. How do they know that? Seems like Jews were always trying to work their way into heaven. There are a bunch of Psalms that say, no, nobody is justified by works. He'll tell us later on in Galatians that the law is a tutor to bring us to Christ.
42:43
Law is a tutor to to show us that we cannot live up to it. We, who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law. For by the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified. Now, that's one of those chiasms right there. The most important thing is even we have believed in Christ Jesus.
43:13
Right there in the center. Even we have believed in Christ Jesus. Even we, the Jews, the ones who knew we were the chosen people. The only way for us is by belief in Jesus Christ. Justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law and Paul is insisting that this is the only way.
43:40
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of law but faith in Christ by the works. Oh, this is the Psalm one forty three. Enter not into judgement with your servant. The Psalm has says, enter not into the judgement with your servant for no one living is righteous before you. That's Old Testament.
43:56
New Testament, we know it from Romans, a couple of different places for there is no one righteous, no not one, for all have sinned, fall short of the glory of God. There's no doubt about our our standing of condemnation and deserving of the wrath of God. There's no doubt about that biblically speaking. Two seventeen through 19, I think I have this in two versions and this one's confusing and we'll go through that and get to the next one But if while we seek to be justified by Christ. Now, some of y'all have been upset in the past when I talk about those who are being saved as if it were a a process that one day you will attain.
44:35
No, you are saved at the moment of belief. That's very very clear from the scriptures. The the thief on the cross was going to be with Jesus in paradise that day. You're saved at belief but your continual process of being sanctified, you are one of those who is being saved until you die or are transfigured to be with Jesus. If while we seek to be justified by Christ.
45:02
So, this is Christians. As we're trusting in Christ and we are looking for that eventual day and that incorruptible hope, if we ourselves are found to be sinners, sinners, then is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not. May it never be. Absolutely not.
45:18
For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I, through the law, died to the law that I might live to God. This is the English standard version of that same passage but if in our endeavor to be justified in Christ. Now, is everybody that calls on the name of the Lord to be saved? Yes, Joel says so.
45:40
Peter says so. When you cry out to God in faith, he responds. That's what he does. When he's saying, those who endeavor to be justified in Christ, it's as we walk our Christian life but if in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, are we? Yes.
45:58
Is Christ then a servant of sin? Is it because we're following him that we're sinning? No. Certainly not. For if I rebuild what I tore down, the law, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
46:12
For through the law, I died to the law so that I might live to God. The New Living gets adds a whole lot of words, but I think it gets the sense right, so I'm going to read you that section too. It adds a few words to make things a little more simple. But suppose that we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ, and then we're found guilty because we've abandoned the law. Would that mean that Christ has led us into sin?
46:40
Absolutely not. Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law that I already tore down. For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So, I died to the law. I put that behind me.
46:54
I stopped trying to meet all of its requirements so that I might live for God. It's editorial a bit. It goes beyond but I think that that gets to the sense of it. Galatians two twenty is a sermon all by itself. I have been crucified with Christ.
47:16
That long Greek word right there means, I have been crucified with Christ. Co crucified, crucified in tandem at the same time. When he died, I died. Now, this was '32 or '33 when Paul was converted. Jesus, Jesus actual crucifixion was two years before.
47:34
He's saying, when Christ said it's finished on that cross, that's the point. I put my belief in that and at that point, I'm dead to the old man and I'm raised to walk in newness of life as we say in baptisms. I've been crucified with Christ. It's no longer I who live but Christ lives in me. Amen.
47:54
Amen. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the son of God. Who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God. What Paul is saying is by trying to follow those dietary laws and those ceremonial laws and trying to wear the right things and do the right things the right way.
48:16
You are setting aside God's grace. It cannot be both grace and works. It cannot be. Now, the gospel, the grace of God does have implications that you will hopefully be flowing the grace of God towards other people and you'll be loving them through Christ. Our motto here is with all we are, loving God, and loving people through Christ.
48:41
The gospel allows that. We only reflect his love. We only channel his grace. So, I do not set aside the grace of God. The grace of God is sufficient.
48:51
Your grace is enough. Carl, we were talking about this week and we're going to end with the same song we ended with last week because it's it's still enough. I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. No one living is righteous before you, oh God.
49:12
If we had to stand on our merits, if we had to stand on our works, we would not pass. I don't care who you are. Mother Teresa, the pope, me, we would not stand. I can't believe I just put myself in that list. I was trying to trying to come up with I was trying to come up with a few more.
49:34
Sorry about that. It's alright. Sorry. Well, no takeaway slide today, Carl. That's it.
49:47
No one living is righteous before you, oh God. So, it is the message of the cross. To those who are perishing, it's mere foolishness. There's no way humanly speaking that I can convince them otherwise. But to those who are being saved, that God is progressively revealing himself.
50:05
However, he does it through his scripture, through his people, through the word, through a dream in my case, through one hundred years in a war, in some other cases. To those who are being saved, it's the power of God. In Romans, kind of reiterates this point. I think Galatians was Paul's sketch for his masterpiece of Romans and Romans lays this out like this. This was going to be the benediction.
50:31
Y'all can come on up, man. We know that our old sinful selves, he's collective this time instead of saying, I was crucified with Christ or I have been crucified with Christ. He's saying that if you are a believer in Jesus, this fits for you. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives.
