 Good morning everyone. Thanks for joining in and good to see you Got a good Bible verse for the day Francis, you know on the day of fasting. What's the Bible verse you got? Bless it up hunger Right, okay Is Sorry, sorry. It was I'm allergic to a few things. No wonder I was needing Yeah Okay, sorry for that guys Okay, so we are in chapter 9 of the local church. We finished Seven and eight in the last class. We're in chapter 9 your PDFs page 55 Your hard copy which page 84 awesome, okay So I hope you've been learning something and taking Taking something new of the subject about the house of God and the importance of fit and the importance God gives Right, so we all know that it's God's idea. We've learned that from the start So in this chapter, we look at the aspect of how the house of God or the church of God or the church is Like a family of God, okay So Every time we see in the scripture where house of God or the household of God is referred to it's referring to a corporate congregation You know where a bunch of people come together. So that's, you know, that's what it's referring to So let's look at a few scriptures You guys can hear me and nickel can you hear me, okay? Okay All right. So from your notes, there are a few scriptures that I want us to look at Galatians chapter 6 verse 10 it says therefore as we have Opportunity let us do good to all. Okay, especially to those who are of the household of faith Okay, the again, there's a lot of things that you can stress about or accentuate from that verse but one particular Set of words that we are looking at is the household of faith. Okay, but you can look at as we have opportunity Ecclesiastes Oh man, which chapters It says we've all been given a time and a chance Right. Sorry Ecclesiastes forget which chapter either 9 or 11 It says we've all been given a time and a chance. That means in other words opportunity Uh, right for us and how we make use of what what we do with that time and what we do with that chance is up to us So it says here. We have the opportunity Right. We have this chance. We have in this particular time. We've been given this opportunity We don't know how long this time is going to be there and we don't know how long this we're going to have this chance It is a possibility that we will miss out on this opportunity So opportunity is a more of a positive word, isn't it? Oh, I missed that opportunity I got this job opportunity from this company and I missed it. Right. We say it with a little bit of Slight regret, isn't it? So Do we feel the same when we say that we have opportunity? Right. You and I have the opportunity to lead and worship or pray, uh, etc, etc Uh, and let us do good to all Uh, and it's amazing that word if you have to just google and see and how many Scriptures places you see do good Thompson you'd be amazed at it. Even some Why am I forgetting scriptures dude? Some 37 or 34, uh, I think it's 37. It's it's on the left side of my bible That's all I remember It's okay guys. Don't turn in Uh, it time and time again, it would say do not fret. Do not fret. Do not fret. Do not fret like don't be afraid Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Uh, and then it says while you don't not being afraid and while you're waiting Don't forget to do good It says that right, uh, even uh, Hebrews chapter 13, uh, when we talk about praise as a spiritual sacrifice It says offer a praise as spiritual sacrifice and don't forget to do good Right, uh, there's something about it then, you know, um in the house of god as the people of god, he's expecting us To do good things. Okay. Uh, what that looks like it can look like a lot of things. Okay, but let's move on So that's the household of faith uh, efficiency 2 19 it says now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners But fellow citizens with the saints and the members of the household of god Um That verse is pretty deep, but we in the later chapter we look we'll go a little bit more deeper into that verse. Okay Again, we are we are citizens of the household of god. Okay. Now. It's very interesting. Um Every time household is mentioned or the house of god is mentioned Is not referring to a building Anywhere Isn't it it's very interesting so it but it's a spiritual entity, isn't it and we are all citizens now We are not strangers. We were but we are not now, right? We are citizens with the saints and members of the household Uh, that's pretty deep one more scriptures first Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 too early in the morning reverence. What is this? First Timothy chapter 3 verse 15 it says but if I am delayed I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself In the house of god Which is the church of the living god the pillar and the ground of the truth Again a lot of things but focus on look at the progression of the choice of words He starts off by saying, uh, okay leave everything else, but house of god And then he goes on to say it is the church of the living god. Okay, uh, which is the pillar and the ground of the truth All right First period chapter 2 verse 5 it says you also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house Um, a holy priest to to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to go through jesus christ So, um, it's a process that we are being built up. It doesn't say that we are built Like in the past tense it's present continuous Right, it's if you have to use a grammar thing. It's the present continuous like Isaiah 6 one translation says the train of his robe. I mean nkjb was we'll say it filled the temple The train of his robe filled that means it's done But there's a one translation that says the train of his robe was filling Right again present continuous filling, right? Uh, so It's very interesting. But again, we're not studying isiah chapter 6. So let's not go too deep into that Um, so house of god household of god, it's a spiritual entity. It's a spiritual house And we are citizens of it you and I are citizens of it and we have the opportunity to do good Right. Um, so the house in greek is oikos Which simply refers to dwelling Simply refers to dwelling, okay, um So again in the hebrew when we say dwelling place It offers refer often refers to the tabernacle. So the tabernacle In literal sense was the dwelling place. That's what it is, isn't it? And in john chapter one was 14 when where we see Uh, the word became flesh and he Dwelled among us is nothing but he tabernacle around us And again, if you have to go to the root meaning of it like to the raw meaning of it It simply means he pitched his tent That's what that's what happens. So he pitched his tent Among us. Okay. So the house of god is a dwelling place, right? He dwells in us and then in also Corporately wherever we meet he's present Are you guys following all good? Okay So, uh, can anyone tell me where? Uh, the word the words house of god is mentioned for the first time in the bible Bible Do you go to the temple you have turned my father's house into an end of thieves den of thieves It's called the house of prayer. Okay, the house of god It's mentioned house of god Yeah, no, but has it mentioned house of god Psalms of No, no, I'm asking I thought you were saying or you're asking. I wasn't sure Asking, okay. No, it's not from Psalms It's not from song Acts no, yeah, it's somewhere in the bible Oh boy, do you need another cup of coffee or something? Francis guest Because of god his house of god is mentioned for the first time in the bible Maybe Maybe not Yeah I don't know where you're looking at. Sorry Set, uh, no Will you stop dude? Will you stop you're saying or something? Mites if you're alone, I just say don't know Yeah, Genesis 20 let's go to Genesis 28 Let's read a bunch of scriptures. Okay, Genesis chapter 28 will go to verse 10 So please remember everything that we've spoken of about the house of god with the church of god so far Right and all the scriptures that we've read All right, um, so let's read from verse 10 Genesis 28 verse 10 It says now Jacob went out from bir shiba and went toward haran So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night Because the sun had set and he took one of the stones and of that place And put it at his head and he lay down in that place to sleep Then he dreamed And behold a ladder was set up on the earth Okay And its top reached to heaven And there the angels of god were ascending and descending on it. Okay. Now all this is very important. It's like a build up Uh, right. So what was happening? There was a ladder that was set up on the earth, right and its top reached to the Heavens so there are two different realities that is connected Right the reality of earth and the reality of heaven. Okay. If you've seen any Uh science fiction movies, they'll call it as portals Like you'll go from like a portal, right? You know what happens? If you've seen avengers in the game and all And verse 13 it says and behold the lord stood above it and said i am the lord god of abraham Your father and the god of isek the land on which you lie. I will give to you and your descendants Also, your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth You shall spread abroad to the west and the east to the north and the south and in you and in your See all families of earth shall be blessed. Behold. I am with you I will and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land for I will not leave You until I have done what I have spoken to you. What a glorious word Verse 16 then jacob evoke from his sleep and said Guys, did you just realize that god made his reminding is uh and again making like something like a covenant in in a dream? I mean that that is Yeah, I don't know what to say You know even solomon's dream we know of you know, and They're having a conversation in the dream and in the dream solomon knew what he wanted and what to ask for It's crazy, isn't it like some of us being awake only we don't know what to ask for But check that out okay verse 17 and he was afraid and said how awesome is this place Okay, a word study there. He says he was afraid and then he says how awesome again the root meaning of the word awesome all means terror That's the root word meaning of okay, like terror is what it's from the word terror you get terrorists terrifying Terrified all of that isn't it so when we say god is the awesomeness of god. So you are awesome. We are saying that Okay, you're not someone to be messed around with take him seriously Okay, so how awesome is this place? I mean, how holy is this place? You know, it's it's filled with this presence This this is none other than the house of god. There's no building Yeah, but look at what goes on to say what he goes on to say and this is the gate of heaven What's a big deal about it What does the gate do it opens and closes? That's one feature of a gate, isn't it? And you know like let's say a college campus gate It opens it shuts but When you open you can either come into the campus or you can go out from the campus to the other reality of the world Yes or no So he's saying the house of god is like the gate of heaven And so it's supposed to usher in people From one reality to the other reality Are you with me? So anyone who steps into the house of god if you know Is they're coming in from the reality of the world And they're walking into the reality of heaven. That's how the house of god should be Like a ladder that connects Earth to heaven understood Okay, and the remaining of the chapter is also amazing, but we will not read that Maybe I will Verse 18 he says then jacob rose early in the morning and took the stone that he had put at his head Set it up as a pillar and put oil on top of it and he called the name of that place bet How's the god no game but the name of the city had been Luz previously luz or luz whatever Okay, luz luz is it's that's what in your bible also, no Okay, so again meaning of the word or the or the name luz means alman tree Or the land of the nuts land of alman's Um, so alman tree has a very significant role in the in the jewish culture You remember the vision jeremiah has Uh, if you remember god asks, okay jeremiah, what do you see? I see an alman tree for us who don't understand anything. It's like Yeah, what's the big deal? Yeah, you know, maybe next time you'll see a mango tree, you know, I don't know But the alman tree in their culture Uh was a symbol of new beginning because after the winter season during the springtime the first tree to come bloom Was the alman tree and so it was a sign of new beginning and so you see this land was Formerly known as an alman thing and now it's known as the house of god It's enjoying something. It's the beginning of something new Isn't it? Okay, so it's beautiful. Nothing is Mentioned in the bible for the sake of being mentioned guys All right, I hope you are all still with me um All right, so going back to the north's page 55 talking about the house of god In matthew chapter 10 was 25 again just to paraphrase that scripture Jesus is the master of the house where he is the god of the house Right, uh, we we cannot forget that because uh that that particular verse in matthew 10 25 says Maybe you have some people accusing jesus like oh, I don't think you know, you are the leader of The demons or whatever bilzebub uh, then Yeah, okay Okay, let's move on. Um any questions any thoughts so far? Are you all with me learning? Yeah, okay All right. Yeah, I just think about the reality and the beauty of what we are supposed to be You know the first time bethel or the house of god is mentioned in the bible. It's like a ladder Uh, you know house of god is we Is where we say that's where he dwells, isn't it and again Apologize for bringing up tabernacle again, but the tabernacle was the meeting place It was it it was the place where heaven and earth collided Right. It was the one place where divinity met with humanity You with me and so that's the dwelling place tabernacle and here the house of god in greek. We saw that it simply means dwelling place Um, right. So if that is the case, uh, people walking in should step in and say wow, I feel like I'm in heaven Right. Something about this place or something about the people here Uh, you know, it's so different because the reality is different Because everybody lives according to the kingdom culture and not according to the pop culture of the world Are you following us? Yeah, and all of that comes down to that word called opportunity, but yeah, let's move on Uh, three important implications of the local church being a family Okay, uh, so remember we're talking about the local church as a family of god in this chapter. All right So three important implications Uh, the local church being a family first thing is a proper way to conduct yourself So we go back to the previous page in first timothy chapter three was 15 that scripture has mentioned But if i'm delayed I write so that you may know How you ought to conduct yourself in the house of god. So in other words as a parent Behave yourself that's Right Paul is saying Timothy behave yourself or learn how to behave. I'll be a little late. Don't trouble them You know, if you leave your children with some your relatives or something you say, okay, I'm going to leave you there Okay, so conducting yourself, uh, is very important, isn't it? So we ought to be taught children are taught and everybody has to be taught how to conduct themselves in in the in the house of god, isn't it? um You know, I have to conduct myself a certain way as a teacher You have to conduct a certain way as a student, right? I can't put my leg on the seat and say I take class like this Immediately something else you'll be thinking of me, right? I remember this one time the import, uh, you know, I had to take the youth on youth missions We went to berampur You know from no one from berampur. Yeah, right? Okay So, uh, you know every time we go before before going on a youth uh on a mission strip A pastor Nancy will give a debrief As you know, especially to the young people say, okay, you guys are going to berampur It's not necessarily an urban area. So, uh, this is a youth conference. So expect at least 200 young people And so she gives us a debrief. Okay, uh, you know, um avoid wearing torn jeans or shorts Which is okay in in urban setting, but it's not so, uh, you know, because it's still very different back there So all of that was there and then we we reached berampur and uh, and then I had a meeting with the youth the 10 of us went I I told them Okay, see 200 young people are going to be there for this conference They do not know that uh, you know, let's say all of us went they do not know that you're a student or you're a working professional You're studying architecture or engineering or data account, whatever they don't know all of that They don't even know that you're volunteering with apc. They don't care. They don't need to know All they know or they will see is that apc is here That means 10 pastors are there Okay, so I told them You better behave yourself Know how to conduct yourself. Okay, because uh, 200 people are watching and they're thinking that okay, then 10 young pastors are there Because everybody everybody was we're taking a session Right and so it is very easy like for young people. They were also what? 24 the average age that you know Was 24 so it is very easy for young people to switch off look at their phones and dream or sleep feel sleepy It's a whole day event so I had to teach them. Okay, so if you're feeling sleepy, just bring a notebook start writing everything so keep writing whatever it is, you know So it at least looks like you're writing, you know Um That's my trick by the way So if you're writing a lot, I know what's happening then I've seen a lot out prince Okay, um, so We're talking about three important implications of the local church being a family One is knowing and learning how to conduct ourselves. It's very important, right? You can't just be the way you want to be like you're at home, you know Priests in the tabernacle didn't wear whatever they felt like wearing Right, uh, everything whatever they wore It was inscribed holy unto the lord So it's pretty serious. Okay. The second thing is boundaries between the natural and the spiritual. This is awesome Boundaries everybody say boundaries Okay, boundaries will save your lives guys. Okay not four four, you know, so uh boundaries will save Oh Okay, I don't know what happened. Okay. Uh, yeah boundaries are very important now Here's what will happen in an immature circle Right if people are not spiritually mature When they say we are a family of god in the church If time will come maybe, you know, I was like, oh, we are a family of brother. Hi brother Can I come and stay with you? Can I make your house my house? Not parent, you know, a brother. No, so what help a brother out You know what I'm saying? Okay. I have fully of god, you know, okay Uh Hi sister, we are sisters Why don't you write your house property in my name and give because same family, you know, give me your wealth Give me all, you know Oh, what do I say? Yeah, it's it's going it's not just missing out on the boundary line. It's uh Point blank immature. Isn't it taking certain things very literally and not understanding the difference between the spiritual family and and And the real natural family. Okay. And so Paul kind of expounds this on uh second Thessalonians 3 and I'd encourage you to read that entire chapter when you can second Thessalonians chapter 3 was 6 to 16 I'm we're not going to do that now Okay, so uh being part of a uh spiritual family Does not permit the crossing of the natural family line, right boundaries. So uh boundaries are important And boundaries are important in relationships So that's the second point boundaries between natural and the spiritual. Okay And then finally a family has culture values purposes and dreams Okay, every family will have a culture. Uh culture can look like There's bad culture and good culture. Okay, that's a different topic But there is a culture in every family Okay, it can be that everybody at eight o'clock has dinner together at the same time. That's one culture Right after uh before that they will all meet for family prayer before or after for devotions. That's another It's a culture of the house. Isn't it? Uh, no phones on the food table Are you following so um, I mean every family can look very different what they practice what they believe in uh culture But culture is very important Uh A bad culture in a good setting Is still dangerous. I'll say that again. Okay a bad culture in a good environment. Good setting is still dangerous. Um example If I put a beautiful Delicious tasty food Right amazing food whichever your favorite cuisine is Okay on a very dirty plate will you eat it? Yeah Are you with me right? Uh So a bad culture in a good environment is not helpful. Um, and so that And um, so it comes down to the leader to set the culture because if the leader doesn't set the culture The culture will be set for the leader by the people who he is leading I say that again If the leader doesn't set the culture if the head of the house doesn't set the culture good culture Then the culture will be set by the people who he is leading And most of the times that might not be very nice Right. So coming on time is a culture showing up on time is a culture instilling that Uh into the people that you are leading is very important. Right. Um, so that's culture. So Culture is important because it helps people understand each other Okay, and shows what is accepted way of doing things in a certain environment Uh, there's a huge responsibility on you guys as second years or as seniors In how you set a certain culture, uh For the first years Okay Some of the cultures values purposes and dreams at apc just to go through uh, what we kind of follow Our culture is casual contemporary creative Find creative way of expressing the message the gospel whatever Everyone is a minister. You must have understood that by now even from The healing and deliverance course. We keep saying that everybody can do this. It's not just Uh pastors ministers, you know leaders, etc. Everyone is a minister. That's the culture we try to set Uh word based spirit led spiritual yet practical Active energetic dynamic. That's the culture we are going for and what are our values Integrity Excellence in everything that we want to do pursuing excellence Staying on the leading edge of what god is doing Be it technology or whatever Opportunity for everyone unity and cohesiveness relationships Purposes glorify and exalt the name of jesus apc is not the work of a man Denomination or an organization, but it is the work of the lord by his spirit through his people Make an impact to be salt and light in the city of bangalore or voice of nation Voice to the nations of in uh of india and to the nations When souls and make disciples everywhere anytime Okay equip every believer Bring every believer to maturity equip and release them to for ministry at apc every believer is a minister That's our purposes, right dreams Raise up five strong churches each with over 50 000 people In bangalore With each church having a powerful impact on all strata of society Raise up several churches across this nation in cities towns and villages etc Go into other nations impacting various regions of the world with the gospel Raising up churches bible colleges and making difference in the lives of people Okay, so all of y'all are part of that dream Yay Pretty awesome, isn't it? Right. We are still there. We are on the way. We are in the pursuit. Okay All good guys any questions any thoughts you want to share? Okay, so what were the Three implications practical implications of being a family learn to conduct yourself Boundaries, yeah culture, yeah Family has a culture of values purposes and dreams. Okay, so Um, the minister the ministry that you might end up leading, you know, you should you make sure you have all this in place It's a lot of responsibility Setting up boundary lines Etc. Etc. Right. It's all the best Okay, uh, let's keep going just a little bit more Three important family practices in a local church Three important family practices in a local church. Um, okay first one is yeah So this DPC, uh, our dreams purposes and all so the things what it's actually mentioned are purposes like every believer is a minister At apc and all these things when we see is it is it a particular calling to pasharashish or Or he's just following what what is there in bible like you should you should make disciples Uh, like these all these purposes your dreams or your principles these values and Is it a particular calling for pasharashish and and For you the whole team or you're following some instructions from bible or like that so It's a it's a very specific calling for pasharashish That's his dream and what the dream that god is given to him right in that you still see It's still biblical in terms of going on to all nations Making disciples baptizing them all of that is still Achieved in this dream right because it's in it's in line. So this in particular is specific to pasharashish And be as associate pastors or staff. We support the vision, uh, you know, it's It's the vision for the of the church and so Every area every other ministries like say youth ministry worship team, uh, you know So youth ministry will have its vision and worship team has its vision But it has to be in line with the vision of the church It all right So it is a possibility and the danger the danger of that possibility is that every ministry thinks Okay, it's a separate entity different thing not even related to the church All right That's fine. Yeah, that's fine Um It's a possibility to go off in one time and saying, okay, this is youth ministry We are young and vibrant. We'll do whatever we want to do Uh, and that's it's it's it's happened. Um, that's when the vision is not very clear or it's not emphasized enough So to answer your simple question it is yeah, it's specific to pastor ashish and uh, as we are under his supervision Uh, we kind of support that We take all these things into our own ministry if if someone want to do a ministry Yeah, they can take or is all these things like particularly to pastor ashes See, uh, in these purposes are Or values and all yeah, these are actually everyone should follow And yes, and one more question is how we how we have to balance our own calling and our values and purposes You're on calling with values and uh, if if i'm called to a healing ministry Yes, how to balance my own calling From god and then all these things which they have to be there in church Some things like this when we are talking all from all these chapters how the local church should be How to balance this and that so everything what you're learning from this course right on and then all of us, uh, is You're not getting a finished product Like for example, you go to amazon you order a table you get table Right. Um, so but this course is all about Equipping you and giving you the tools So that you can build your own thing So you have the tools and you can be creative and being creative by being sensitive to the leading of god's voice Uh, say, okay lord, what is your vision for me? What is your burden for me because I believe that each and every single individual have a unique calling Have a unique calling and you know every season there will be a season where you will be under the leadership of a man Or a woman, right? There was a time where elisha was under elisha Right and joshua was under moses. Um, so it's it's very biblical. Isn't it and so There will be a time where you will be an armor bearer for the king I'm talking metaphorically a season where you are the armor bearer for the king Um, they'll and then they will come a time I mean, it's it's beautiful, right? Even if when say you might get a call while you're 17 But for you to step into that calling it might take you 14 15 years Because in that period god might prepare you And in that period he shapes you and in that period you learn about the values the purposes that he gives, isn't it? Um, david was anointed in first time in chapter 17 Right, he gets to the one I know in second time So for the 14 15 years he was running around wilderness You know running for his life, but in that his character was developed He learned to certain values. You see that even he got a chance to kill sol twice What was his value? I will not touch the anointed one So integrity excellence uh honoring one another is those are what What we call as moral values it has to be instilled, you know Generally and that all of that supports your calling ultimately So and again, um, there are all tools that yeah, so you can Build your ministry the way you want with all of this. I think it was in the previous class we learned, uh How you build what you build and the materials that you choose to build right is very important. So Yeah Anything else? Okay. I hope you guys online are also doing all right. Um All right, let's move on from page 58 All right three important family practices in a local church Walk in brotherly love Walk in brotherly love. Okay. Um, so first Thessalonians chapter 4 was 9 to 10 He says but concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another And indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are all who are in all Macedonia But we urge you brethren that you increase more and more Okay, so Paul is very positive. Uh, and he's also very encouraged by the church in uh, tasala nika Right that this uh, and he's saying hey, you all are very encouraging. You are walking in brotherly love Uh, he goes on to say you should only increase Uh, you know, don't don't don't let that come down. Uh, you know continue to walk in that So, um, I think in Hebrews chapter 6 Hebrews chapter 6 verse 10, it says you express we express our love to God by serving one another It's such a beautiful verse Isn't it uh, Hebrews 6 10 you can look at it later It says we express our love to God that means we say that I love you lord by serving one another And then us by walking, you know, uh walking in brotherly love And so walking in brotherly love simply means being kind Okay, ladies, please don't be offended that there's no sisterly love. It's it's it's neutral that way. Okay Being kind putting others above, you know in front of you, um By doing good supporting the weak restoring the fallen etc being being very encouraging It's very important. Okay, so that's simply walking in brotherly love Um, and then Keep the unity and fellowship of the spirit Keep the unity and the fellowship of the spirit Efficiency 4 3 says endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. Conduct yourself to the prince Endevering to keep the unity of the spirit In the bond of peace endeavoring again in the notes. It says to use speed That is to make effort be prompt or earnest Do diligence be diligent endeavor labor study Wow That's a lot of words to remember, isn't it endeavor to keep the unity So i'll give you one simple word or partial two words proactive Pro pro hyphen active. So what does that word say? What is the opposite of proactive? I'm sorry guys opposite of active is inactive Opposite of proactive is Opposite of proactive is reactive. You're welcome guys. Okay, so Opposite of proactive is reactive. Okay. So what happens is Most of the time we are reactive. That means, okay If someone does this then I will respond by doing this I will wait for something to fall then I will go pick it up and put it in its place It's like, you know, I will okay. It looks like that's going to fall, but I'm not going to do anything I'll wait for it to fall then I'll react Proactive is you see something is about to go wrong. You take the initiative That's what it is. Isn't it? That's what the definition here says to use speed to make effort be prompt uh, you know be diligent, uh and labor so Being proactive is very important. I think if you if you're all just proactive right and even even just in our relationships There wouldn't be a lot of misunderstanding. It's like, why should I message her first? Let her message me first Okay You know what I'm talking about, right? Uh, why should I say sorry first? Okay, let that person say sorry and then I will be reactive And I'll think about what I should do if I should accept the apology or not Isn't it?
