Stand Against Division

|
| But verse 8, he will keep you strong to the end. | |
| This is a promise to you. | |
| Yes, amen. | |
| Pastor David to Jim Baker. | |
| He said, I'll keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. | |
| He's coming back. | |
| Let's be ready. | |
| That's where our hope is. | |
| That's right. | |
| God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says and what he says. | |
| And he has invited you into partnership with his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. | |
| Amen. | |
| He talks about division in the church next. | |
| He says, I appear. | |
| I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ to live in harmony with each other. | |
| Oh, it's so important that we love each other. | |
| We stop fighting one another. | |
| Churches are even said, Well, I don't believe what you believe. | |
| We got to, if we believe in Jesus Christ, we need to come together. | |
| We need to love one another. | |
| And that there's be no division in the church. | |
| Mondu, I can't express this. | |
| The world is division. | |
| That's right. | |
| The people in politics want to divide us. | |
| We don't want division. | |
| Stand against those who would divide. | |
| Don't let it happen to you. | |
| Love one another. | |
| Amen. | |
| Amen. | |
| He says, rather be of one mind, united in thought. | |
| That's in your dreams, in your sleep, in your thoughts, in your mind, and all purpose. | |
| Be united. | |
| Amen. | |
| Amen. | |
| Oh, people, we need to be united. | |
| That's right. | |
| Someday I'm going to talk about dreams because it mentions all the time. | |
| For some members of Chloe's household have told me about your quarrels. | |
| Are you quarreling with one another? | |
| My dear brothers and sisters, he says, we're not to quarrel with each other. | |
| Amen. | |
| You people live here? | |
| Do you quarrel with each other? | |
| You get mad when somebody's TV is too loud or whatever. | |
| You got to love one another. | |
| Amen. | |
| Amen. | |
| Even though it's difficult sometimes, we're to love our enemies, the Bible says. | |
| Did you know that? | |
| Yes. | |
| You know, he said, some of you are saying, I'm a follower of Jim Baker. | |
| No, I'm a follower of Paul. | |
| Others are saying I'm a follower of Apollos, or I follow Peter, or I follow only Christ. | |
| And that's whom the one we're to follow is Jesus Christ. | |
| Amen. | |
| Has Christ been divided into factions, it says was I, Paul, crucified for you? | |
| Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? | |
| Of course not. | |
| Thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Cyprus and Gaius. | |
| For no one, no one can say they were baptized in my name. | |
| It's the name of Jesus, people. | |
| Oh, yes, I also baptized the household of Estephanus, but I don't remember baptizing anyone else. | |
| For Christ didn't send me to baptize, but to preach the good news and not with clever speech, the cross of Christ would lose its power, the wisdom of God. | |

Why Wear the Cross?
00:00:32
|
|
| The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are headed for destruction. | |
| But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. | |
| That's why I'm asking people to wear the cross today. | |
| I want you to know that this is your power of salvation. | |
| And when people say, why do you wear that cross? | |
