Choices Local Churches Must Make The church in Philadelphia made the correct choices! (Revelation 3:7-11)

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall?

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16)

2 Timothy 2:14-16 Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53)

Luke 12:51-53 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord?

John 9:4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. (Jesus is a wonderful example of one who determined, no matter the challenge, to do His Father’s will)

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord? –God has given us work to do (John 17:4; Ephesians 4:16)

John 17:4 “I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.” Would that we all could say the same thing at the end of our lives.

Ephesians 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord? –God has given us work to do (John 17:4; Ephesians 4:16) Will We Be United and at Peace?

Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord? –God has given us work to do (John 17:4; Ephesians 4:16) Will We Be United and at Peace? –Right attitudes and actions (Ephesians 4:1-3)

Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Choices Local Churches Must Make Will We Stand or Fall? –Against false doctrine? (2 Timothy 2:14-16) –In the face of opposition? (Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord? –God has given us work to do (John 17:4; Ephesians 4:16) Will We Be United and at Peace? –Right attitudes and actions (Ephesians 4:1-3) –Right treatment of each other (Galatians 5:13-15)

Galatians 5:13-15 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

(Luke 12:51-53) Will We Work for the Lord? –God has given us work to do (John 17:4; Ephesians 4:16) Will We Be United and at Peace? –Right attitudes and actions (Ephesians 4:1-3) –Right treatment of each other (Galatians 5:13-15) –Not at the expense of Truth! (Philippians 1:9-11)

Philippians 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Conclusion Remember, we will answer for the choices we make! “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10)
