April 19, 2024 - Friday 10:00AM MPR 1 Speaker
Speaker: Kristy Woodall
Submitting to His Lordship like Mary, the Mother of Jesus
Lk 1:38
Faith that made her willing
Servant of God
Lk 2:35
She would suffer
Lk 2:48
Was she angry?
Lk 2:51
Cherished and committed to memory
Acts 1:14 devoted to prayer with the disciples after his ascension
Three things to consider when submitting to His Lordship – it is so much more than just baptism. There is a burden, a benefit, and a bargain
- The Burden
- The burden of Biblical submission – arranging yourself under another’s authority is very difficult for most to do. We cannot be our own boss and submit.
- Matt 16:24 deny self and “take up your cross” death to self
- Your life is no longer your own
- You agree your wants and desires ambitions priorities DON’T MATTER
- Matt 6:33 there will be sacrifices – going where you want, movies, books, language/conversions, you body (alc, drugs, gluttony, casual sex), clothing 1Tim 2:9
- 1Cor 6:19-20
- We have to care more for our and the souls of others
- You might be an outcast in life (work, school)
- You can’t retaliate when provoked (i.e. traffic)
- Matt 5:39
- Submission is a lifelong endeavor of small as well as big sacrifices; you might have to separate from loved ones/relationships that are not scriptural
- Titus 2 we are expected to teach
- Heb 10:25 faithful attendance
- 2Tim 2:15 study on your won
- Give back to God $$ and NOT your leftovers or 2nds
- Mal 1:10 failure to actually worship
- You should “feel” a sacrifice (is it real if you don’t feel it)
- Eph 5:22 even if his idea stinks he has the final word
- Submit to the eldership
- The Benefit
- 1 John 5:11 eternal life
- 2 Thess 1:8=9 spared
- Be in God’s presence
- Sing praises
- God will see you
- Reunions with family
- If promise of Heaven were the only benefit it would be worth the burden
- You will never be alone/feel alone – you have Christ
- No heartache, no tears in Heaven
- Phil 4:7 (here)
- Blessed with a new family in the church
- Identity and purpose
- Matt 20:19-20 Ecc 12:13
- Col 3:4 He isn’t just an important part of your life; He IS your life
- You have a purpose and a job
- John 5:28-29 you know what will happen
- Greater quality of life; God knows what is best, his rules benefit and protect us
- Bargain
- If we agree to and abide by the “burdens” mentioned it still wouldn’t be enough.
- The “bargain” is that Jesus paid our debt for us. Jesse chose debt so we can have the
- “option” to submit and choose to do so. WE have the choice to accept the great bargain, the great deal that Jesus has to offer us.
