"Do This In Remembrance of Me"
1 Corinthians 11:23-36

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭11:23-36‬‬
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world. So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.

"Meekness Ain’t Weakness!”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:1-5‬‬
When he saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the earth.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬‬
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬‬
“Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.

1. Humbly Receive

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:7-8‬‬
Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death — even to death on a cross.

2. Gently Give

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:40-41‬‬
As for the one who wants to sue you and take away your shirt, let him have your coat as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-2‬‬
Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3-4‬‬
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look not to his own interests, but rather to the interests of others.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:20-21‬‬
But If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head. Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

‭‭S. Juan‬ ‭20:19-22‬‬
Cuando llegó la noche de aquel mismo día, el primero de la semana, estando las puertas cerradas en el lugar donde los discípulos estaban reunidos por miedo de los judíos, vino Jesús, y puesto en medio, les dijo: Paz a vosotros. Y cuando les hubo dicho esto, les mostró las manos y el costado. Y los discípulos se regocijaron viendo al Señor. Entonces Jesús les dijo otra vez: Paz a vosotros. Como me envió el Padre, así también yo os envío. Y habiendo dicho esto, sopló, y les dijo: Recibid el Espíritu Santo.

1. La Tristeza de la Pascua.
19 entonces, al atardecer de aquel día, el primero de la semana, y estando cerradas las puertas del lugar donde los discípulos se encontraban por miedo a los judíos

2. El Gozo de la Pascua.
Jesús vino y se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo: Paz a vosotros 20 y diciendo esto, les mostró las manos y el costado. Entonces los discípulos se regocijaron al ver al Señor.

3. El Obsequio de la Pascua.

"The Greatest Question Ever Asked"

What should I do with Jesus?

His own Strife:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:18‬‬
For he knew it was because of envy that they had handed him over.

His own Wife:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:24‬‬
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”

‭‭John‬ ‭18:37-38‬‬
“You are a king then?” Pilate asked. “You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” “What is truth?” said Pilate. After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, “I find no grounds for charging him.

He was afraid of other’s opinions:

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭27:20‬‬
The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus.

He was afraid of losing his possessions:

‭‭John‬ ‭19:12‬‬
From that moment Pilate kept trying to release him. But the Jews shouted, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Anyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar!”

He was afraid of making the decision:

He tried to Do Nothing:
John 18:31 --- “you take him and judge him”

He tried to Defer to someone else:
Luke 23:7 --- “he sent him to Herod”

He tried to Declare something positive:
Luke 23:14-15

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:21‬‬
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:39‬‬
Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭23:40-43‬‬
But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

1. He loves everybody / He came for everybody

2. The ONLY way to come to Jesus is to understand that you are a sinner in need of a Savior.

3. You must answer the question: What will I do with Jesus?

Una Esperanza Gloriosa
==========

‭‭1 Tesalonicenses‬ ‭4:13-18‬‬
Tampoco queremos, hermanos, que ignoréis acerca de los que duermen, para que no os entristezcáis como los otros que no tienen esperanza. Porque si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también traerá Dios con Jesús a los que durmieron en él. Por lo cual os decimos esto en palabra del Señor: que nosotros que vivimos, que habremos quedado hasta la venida del Señor, no precederemos a los que durmieron. Porque el Señor mismo con voz de mando, con voz de arcángel, y con trompeta de Dios, descenderá del cielo; y los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero. Luego nosotros los que vivimos, los que hayamos quedado, seremos arrebatados juntamente con ellos en las nubes para recibir al Señor en el aire, y así estaremos siempre con el Señor. Por tanto, alentaos los unos a los otros con estas palabras.

‭‭1 Tesalonicenses‬ ‭5:1-11‬‬
Pero acerca de los tiempos y de las ocasiones, no tenéis necesidad, hermanos, de que yo os escriba. Porque vosotros sabéis perfectamente que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón en la noche; que cuando digan: Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción repentina, como los dolores a la mujer encinta, y no escaparán. Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sorprenda como ladrón. Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz e hijos del día; no somos de la noche ni de las tinieblas. Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás, sino velemos y seamos sobrios. Pues los que duermen, de noche duermen, y los que se embriagan, de noche se embriagan. Pero nosotros, que somos del día, seamos sobrios, habiéndonos vestido con la coraza de fe y de amor, y con la esperanza de salvación como yelmo. Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, quien murió por nosotros para que ya sea que velemos, o que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él. Por lo cual, animaos unos a otros, y edificaos unos a otros, así como lo hacéis.

ÁNIMO Y CONSOLACIÓN:
1. La Esperanza de la Vida después de la muerte
2. La palabra de esperanza es que Cristo es la Resurrección y la vida
3. La Esperanza y el llamado

ESPERANZA DEL REGRESO GLORIOSO Y SORPRENDENTE DE NUESTRO SEÑOR:
1. Alentados a estar a la espera de la promesa
2. Llamados a una vida de fe, amor y esperanza
3. Llamados a compartir nuestra fe

"A Year To Live!"
Matthew 22:36-40

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90:10‬‬
Our lives last seventy years or, if we are strong, eighty years. Even the best of them are struggle and sorrow; indeed, they pass quickly and we fly away.

A great commitment to the great commandments and the great commission will make a great year!”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:36-40‬‬
“Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.”

1. Heaven Is Your Home

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21‬‬
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:36‬‬
“Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37‬‬
He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

2. Heaven is Your Friends' Home

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:39‬‬
The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

3. Jesus is Your Priority

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37‬‬
He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Heart

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:21‬‬
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Soul

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬‬
Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4:2‬‬
Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.

Mind

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‬‬
Therefore, with your minds ready for action, be sober-minded and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:2‬‬
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

30 Days to Understanding the Bible by Max Anders

Prayer of Commitment

“God, in 2022, I want my life to be Yours completely.

I give you my heart through all of my possessions and finances. They belong to You, and I will use them for Your glory.

I give you my soul through prayer. I will grow in my prayer life this year.

I give you my mind through the study of your word. I will make a plan to read and study it.

And God, help me to tell my friend, __________, about You real soon.

Thank You, Lord, for helping me to make 2022 the best year yet.”

"Ephesians: A Final Word"
Revelation 2:1-7 (CSB)

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:1-7‬‬
“Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus: Thus says the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven golden lampstands: I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars. I know that you have persevered and endured hardships for the sake of my name, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-38‬‬
He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:39‬‬
The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Remember

Survey – Thom Rainer: “Why do you think many churches aren’t as evangelistic as they once were?” Survey – Thom Rainer: “Why do you think many churches aren’t as evangelistic as they once were?”

1. Christians have no sense of urgency to reach lost people.

2. Church membership today is more about getting my needs met rather than reaching the lost.

3. Our churches are no longer houses of prayer equipped to reach the lost.

4. Our churches have too many activities; they are too busy to do the things that really matter.

Repent

‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:31-33‬‬
When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God boldly. Now the entire group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common. With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on all of them.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:14‬‬
Believers were added to the Lord in increasing numbers — multitudes of both men and women.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:19-20‬‬
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:18-20‬‬
As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea — for they were fishermen. “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:8‬‬
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

How Can You Get Involved?
Pray

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭126:5-6‬‬
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy. Though one goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy, carrying his sheaves.
