Brother Ky delivered a message

from Hebrews chapter 11.

The sermon title was

“How to relate to an unseen God”

How do we relate to God who we cannot see but He sees us?

1. Fear the Lord. (Proverbs 9:10; Isaiah 33:6; 2 Corinthians 5:11)
2. Get into His Word. (Psalm 119:89; Psalm 138:2
3. Faith (Hebrews 11:6). Without faith we cannot please God.

Faith bridges the gap between God and man.
Faith makes us realize that we can’t control our lives.
Faith is how we please God (Hebrews 11:6)
Faith is how we are justified* (1 Timothy 1:8; Romans 3:28; Galatians 2:16)

*Justified = Guilty law breaker made innocent.

Brother Robert continued the study of David.

2 Samuel 12:1-6

Because Nathan was so in tune with God, he didn’t just go to David and tell him he was a sinner, but with love, he showed David his sin through a story.

Nathan went as a friend not a judge.

Nathan didn’t judge David, David judged himself. (Proverbs 27:6)

Restoration of a brother who is in sin should be done only in love. (Galatians 6:1)

This can only be done through getting to know them, becoming their friend.

How should a Christian approach a brother in sin.

Pray – You should be sensitive to God and what God wants you to do.

Absolute truth – Know the whole story. Find the truth. Do not rely on hearsay.

Private – Never confront a brother in public.

Wise Wording – Choose your words carefully. (Proverbs 25:11-12)

Courage – that God is sending you.

Go in God’s love for Restoration not Condemnation.

Bloggers addition:

Study the Word.

Correct with scripture only.

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 3:15-16 (NKJV)
15 All Scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
16 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
