[00:00:04] This is a promise to you. [00:00:05] Yes, amen. [00:00:06] Pastor David to Jim Baker. [00:00:08] 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. [00:00:20] He's coming back. [00:00:22] Let's be ready. [00:00:23] That's where our hope is. [00:00:24] That's right. [00:00:25] God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says and what he says. [00:00:34] And he has invited you into partnership with his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. [00:00:43] Amen. [00:00:45] He talks about division in the church next. [00:00:47] He says, I appear. [00:00:49] I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ to live in harmony with each other. [00:01:00] Oh, it's so important that we love each other. [00:01:03] We stop fighting one another. [00:01:05] Churches are even said, Well, I don't believe what you believe. [00:01:08] We got to, if we believe in Jesus Christ, we need to come together. [00:01:12] We need to love one another. [00:01:14] And that there's be no division in the church. [00:01:19] Mondu, I can't express this. [00:01:21] The world is division. [00:01:23] That's right. [00:01:25] The people in politics want to divide us. [00:01:30] We don't want division. [00:01:34] Stand against those who would divide. [00:01:37] Don't let it happen to you. [00:01:40] Love one another. [00:01:42] Amen. [00:01:42] Amen. [00:01:44] He says, rather be of one mind, united in thought. [00:01:51] That's in your dreams, in your sleep, in your thoughts, in your mind, and all purpose. [00:01:57] Be united. [00:01:59] Amen. [00:01:59] Amen. [00:02:01] Oh, people, we need to be united. [00:02:04] That's right. [00:02:06] Someday I'm going to talk about dreams because it mentions all the time. [00:02:12] For some members of Chloe's household have told me about your quarrels. [00:02:19] Are you quarreling with one another? [00:02:22] My dear brothers and sisters, he says, we're not to quarrel with each other. [00:02:27] Amen. [00:02:28] You people live here? [00:02:29] Do you quarrel with each other? [00:02:32] You get mad when somebody's TV is too loud or whatever. [00:02:37] You got to love one another. [00:02:38] Amen. [00:02:39] Amen. [00:02:41] Even though it's difficult sometimes, we're to love our enemies, the Bible says. [00:02:46] Did you know that? [00:02:47] Yes. [00:02:50] You know, he said, some of you are saying, I'm a follower of Jim Baker. [00:02:54] No, I'm a follower of Paul. [00:02:57] Others are saying I'm a follower of Apollos, or I follow Peter, or I follow only Christ. [00:03:07] And that's whom the one we're to follow is Jesus Christ. [00:03:10] Amen. [00:03:11] Has Christ been divided into factions, it says was I, Paul, crucified for you? [00:03:22] Were any of you baptized in the name of Paul? [00:03:27] Of course not. [00:03:29] Thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Cyprus and Gaius. [00:03:40] For no one, no one can say they were baptized in my name. [00:03:48] It's the name of Jesus, people. [00:03:50] Oh, yes, I also baptized the household of Estephanus, but I don't remember baptizing anyone else. [00:03:58] 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? (00:32) === [00:04:11] The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are headed for destruction. [00:04:19] But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. [00:04:25] That's why I'm asking people to wear the cross today. [00:04:29] I want you to know that this is your power of salvation. [00:04:33] And when people say, why do you wear that cross?
