Choices: Matthew 5-7 – Pastor David Schroeder
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is like the constitution of the kingdom of God. Besides laying out the values, priorities, and proper perspectives on the teachings of the ancients, Jesus presented four decisions that people have to make: The ROAD you take- Matthew 7:13,14; The FRUIT you eat- Matthew 7:15-20; The FOUNDATION you build upon- Matthew 7:24-27;The MASTER you serve- Matthew 6:24

    In order for the Church to be blessed and function well, God has provided spiritual gifts, ministries and manifestations. He distributes these as He chooses and expects us to use them responsibly to build up the Church. The variety of pneumatika (spiritual things) is intended to give the church vitality, not division. Notice:

    The variety of spiritual activities; 12:4-10; The interdependence of the members; 12:11-25; The admonitions regarding speaking ministries; 14:1-9; The plea for maturity, edification, & discipline; 14:20-40

    Important notice about membership at Washington Alliance Church: the pastors have decided that members may no longer eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols. If that offends you, well, we are sorry; the church has to take a stand on some of these pressing social issues 😊.
    Chapters 8-10 of First Corinthians deal with the Christian’s relationship to the social customs and ethical practices of our multi-cultural environment. Questions which face us today include internet use, romance and dating, movies, clubs and bars, food and beverages, language, fashion, nationalism, use of finances and many others.  Even though eating meat that had been sacrificed to idols is not a hot topic today, the principles Paul gave may apply to our questions today.

    A Spiritual Problem: The Christian and the Questionable; 8:1-13; A Sacrificed Privilege: The Cross and the Questionable; 9:1-2, 13-15, 19-21; A Sacred Principle: Convictions and the Questionable; 10: 19-31

    "Tomorrow is overrated" -- that's a commercial slogan for an alcoholic brand on TV these days. It reflects the contemporary mood of nihilism that results in abuse of the human body. Sensual indulgence, suicide, gluttony, extreme sports, and chemical addictions are various expressions of disregard of the body and the sacredness of life. Both the individual human body and the body of Christ are damaged by such carelessness. Notice these principles in our text chapters:

    Sexual immorality is an offense against: 

    God (6:9-10), One's self (6:15-20), and The church (5:6-8)

    A mature church knows:Sin can destroy the church (5:3-5) How to handle conflicts  (6:1-8) Our bodies are made for the Lord (6:12-14)

    1 Corinthians 1:18 - 2:16

    If you are seeking to build your life around the best and the brightest of human thought, think again,

    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God.

    1 Cor. 3:19. However, the gospel is not highly respected among people of the world because:
    1. The gospel consists of offensive facts 1:18-25
    1. The gospel attracts ordinary people 1:26-31
    1. The gospel demands a simple presentation 2:1-5
    1. The gospel reveals a "secret" plan 2:6-10
    1. The gospel requires spiritual perception 2:11-16
