Romans 12:10-16
Introduction
Last week, we laid a foundation for this week. “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.” (Rom 12:9). This week, I want to teach more through a check list that we should have in our life. He wrote in the beginning of the chapter concerning presenting our bodies. He then talked about being a part of a local new testament church. Our love is to be sincere. There is a simple list that I want

Revelation 3:14-22
Introduction
The attributes of Christ revealed in each passage are the ones appropriate for the need of the church. He reveals Himself as we need Him.
Not all the churches received a negative commentary. Two churches were simply encouraged to continue in the things they were doing. However, of the ones not doing right, I want to recap the verses:

Mark 9:30-50
◦ Having a personal relationship with Jesus… get something others are not.
◦ Your personal walk with the Lord is important! -
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Mark 11:15-18
Mark 11:12-33
Introduction
We have been going through the book of Mark on Sunday mornings, and we have gotten behind a little. So, I will continue that series tonight. We are picking up toward the end of Jesus ministry. His disciples have spent a great deal of time ministering with him. Last time, we looked at the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We are going to look at three lessons given by the Lord.

Proverbs 19
Introduction
Sometimes as christians we get the idea, that we are powerless, and have no influence here on this earth. Jesus said we are the salt of the earth. We are to be a testimony. Much of that has to do with our influence on other people. As a young person right out of Bible college, a pastor whom I greatly respected recommended I read, “How to win friends and influence people.” A book, I never would have picked up and read on my own. There is a practical side to influencing people. If we want to have a good influence, which we should have in our community, we must understand these very practical truths from the Bible to help us understand our influence on people.

Proverbs 24:27
Introduction
You may not think of yourself as a leader, but in reality, you probably are a leader in some form or fashion. Fathers are to be leaders of their families… therefore they are leaders. Mothers are to be leaders to their children and spend a great deal of time teaching, many times simply by example. You may be a manager at work, and lead people. You may be a business owner, and carry more responsibility on your shoulders. It doesn’t matter if you lead few, or lead a multitude, you should strive to do the best at whatever you do in life. Leadership is not something to be taken lightly. It is also one of those areas that we all could use improvement in.

Philippians 2:1-5
Introduction
We started a little mini series on the mind. We have talked about our mind being stayed on God (Isa 26:3). We have considered what things we are to think about in Phil 4:8. Last week we saw 4 types of minds in the Bible, 1. The Condemned mind 2. The Carnal mind 3. The corrupt mind 4. The Converted mind.

2 Samuel 5:1-5
Introduction
Leadership is important, but godly leadership is far better than worldly leadership. The majority of books on leadership (even many of those authored by christians) emphasize a humanistic, worldly type of leadership over God’s leadership manual.
Humanistic leadership is used to in the professional world to build corporations, and is vastly different a style than that of spiritual leadership taught and emphasized in the Scripture.

Introduction
Last week we noted that the church is responsible for doctrinal purity.
1 Timothy 3:15 — But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
We noted in 1 Timothy 4, there is 1. Bad Doctrine, 2. Good Doctrine, Then we must 3. Attend to doctrine (take responsibility to teach) and 4. Continue in Doctrine, not change, not be swayed.
Acts 8:26-39
Introduction
Our passage this morning is probably the most clear passage exemplifying baptism in all the Bible! There are other passages that discuss baptism, but this one is very clear.
• Philip was already actively sharing Jesus!
Acts 8:5–6 —5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
