Revelation 3:14-16 "And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write, 'These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God: 15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. 16 Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth.

Revelation 3:10-13 "Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those that dwell upon the earth. 11 I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no man may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and by no means shall he go out any longer. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven from My God. And My new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'

Revelation 3:10 "Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those that dwell upon the earth."

Revelation 3:8-9 8 "I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; because you have a little strength and have kept My word, and you have not denied My name. 9 Behold, I will give those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews and are not, but they are lying-behold, I will make them to come and bow down at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

Revelation 3:4-7 4 You have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and by no means shall I erase his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."' 7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says the Holy One, the True One, " He who has the key of David, He that opens and no man shuts, except He that opens, and no man shall open."

Revelation 3:1-3 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He that has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name, that you live, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen that which remains, which you were about to cast out, for I have not found your works perfect before My God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and by no means shall you know what hour I will come upon you.

Revelation 2:23-29 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. 24 But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 Only hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and he who keeps My works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations-- 27 'And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; they shall be smashed to pieces like clay vessels'--as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."'

I am preaching through 1 Corinthians verse by verse. Today, we look at Paul's warnings of Israel. (1 Cor 10:1-13) This is a continuation of last week's message of going into strict training, and running the race. Winning is the only option! No one runs to receive the 'Loser's Crown.'

Today we start chapter 10 in our verse by verse study of 1 Corinthians, and we look at Paul's example of Israel, as a warning: "Let him who thinks he stand take heed lest he fall." 1 sermon, divided into 2 parts. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. 6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. 7 And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." 8 Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousan

Revelation 2:18-20 18 " And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ' These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 "I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 "Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Revelation 2:15-17 15 "Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 'Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. 17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." '

1 Sermon in 2 parts. Part 2 of 2. The title of this message was actually, "The Inside Look at the Minister part 2." 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Revelation 2:14 "But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, both to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication."

Revelation 2:12-13   12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword:  13 "I know your works, and where you live, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith in the days in which Antipas was My faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan is dwelling.

One sermon (45 min) divided into 2 parts, for easier listening/downloading. This is a teaching taken from Romans chapter 7, and branching off from there. Whose influence are you under? Law, or grace? Interestingly, Paul's argument in Romans 7 assumes that the believer had put Galatians 2:16 into practice, and has put to death their old sin nature. Law and Grace. Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

This is one 45 minute sermon, divided into 2 parts, for easier listening/downloading. This is a look at the dual nature in man, taken for the most part from Romans chapter 7. Culminating with Paul's declaration, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."

Today we continue our look at the Church at Smyrna. Revelation 2:10-11 10 Fear none of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold indeed, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall in no way be harmed by the second death."'

Today we start looking at the Church at Smyrna. Revelation 2:8-9 8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, 'These things says the First and the Last, who became dead, and came to life: 9 "I know your works, and your tribulation, and your poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 2:5-7 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; but if not, I am coming to you quickly and I will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of My God."'
