the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26

Unless folks have sat down and actually compared the modern versions
of the Bible, they won't have the fire to stand hard for the KJB.
Unless folks have sat down and actually compared Paul's teachings to
the Gospels and Hebrews to Jude, they won't understand Paul!
The man Paul is...
PERSONAL
-
we know about his early years!
-
we know about his manner of life!
-
we know of his life experiences from study his life in Acts!
-
we know his ways!
-
we know he cares for us as a soul! and then as a daily practical
person!
-
we know he has dropped tears for us!
PRAYERFUL
-
we know his 4 'major' prayers for us! Ephesians
1:16-20; 3:14-19; Philippians 1:9-11; Colossians 1:9-11
-
his prayer example is one we should and could follow!
-
pray without ceasing!
PRACTICAL
-
His ways, doing things, daily... Family and home practicality!
-
Philippians 4:9 - Those
things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in
me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
-
I Thessalonians 4:1 - Furthermore
then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as
ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would
abound more and more.
-
I Corinthians 4:17 - For
this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful
in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in
Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
-
I Thessalonians 2:11,12 - As
ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as
a father doth his children, That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath
called you unto his kingdom and glory.
POWERFUL
-
We will be judged by his gospel! Romans
2:16
-
People tried to kill him! II Corinthians
11:24-29
-
Spoke truth that worketh in us! I Thessalonians
2:13
-
His words show us how to manifest the life of Jesus Christ in our mortal
flesh - II Corinthians 4:11
-
Holy and devout women can't handle his teachings, preachings, etc. on grace!
Acts 13:50
PERSISTENT
-
II Corinthians 11:10 -
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting
in the regions of Achaia.
-
Acts 28:30 - And
Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that
came in unto him,
POINTED
-
Confident, bold and to the point.
-
lists in specific
-
Acts 28:31 - Preaching
the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus
Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
-
no doubt with what he says and how he says it - yet he still wants to not
strive! - II Timothy 2:24-26
PERFECT
-
completed - finished. Nothing after Paul in that Book TO us today!
-
no more gospel today other than his ... not the gospels gospel nor the
gospel in Hebrews to Jude nor Revelation!
-
II Chronicles 8:16 defines 'perfect'
- Now all the work of Solomon was prepared
unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was
finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
PERSECUTED
-
II Timothy 3:12 - Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
-
We can learn from him and his afflictions and persecutions, etc. - and
appreciate what it is to preach Paul's gospel today!
PERSONABLE
(my favorite part of this sermon)
-
He is just like us - not a high and mighty religious leader - baptist or
otherwise. Just a 'wretched' guy with the truth trying to tell others
just like him!
-
Romans 6:19a - I
speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: ...
-
Galatians 4:13,14 - Ye
know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you
at the first. And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised
not, nor rejected; ...
-
II Corinthians 11:1-7
-
he won't play the religious game
-
I Corinthians 1:17 -
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom
of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
-
I Corinthians 1:27-29 - But
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and
God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which
are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised,
hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things
that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
-
I Corinthians 2:1-5
Would you lay down your neck for
Paul's gospel today?
They did then - will we today?
Who have for my life laid down
their own necks:
unto whom not only I give thanks,
but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Romans 16:4
In Closing:
Now to him that is of power to stablish
you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according
to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the world began,
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures
of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting
God,
made known to all nations for the obedience
of faith:
Romans 16:25,26
