The announcement of the Church

October 19, 2010. Prep year

Introduction:

Just as natural as a parent has children and does not expect to be benefit from them (ie does not have an interest in their heart mean), but the children have responsibilities towards their parents, so is God with us. God saved us through love and mercy, but also expects us to fulfill certain responsibilities:

(RV 1995) Ephesians 3:8-10 Unto me, who am less than the smallest of all the saints, this grace was given me to proclaim the gospel among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; -9 and to make all what the plan of the mystery hidden for the ages in God, the creator of all things 10- For the forces and the heavenly powers met through the church the wisdom of God in all its forms.

Therefore the Church of Jesus Christ has the responsibility to announce to the heavenly powers, the wisdom of God, Paul says here:

1 Corinthians 9:16 For how could I boast that I preach the gospel? I am required to do so, and woe is me if I do not proclaim the Gospel!

What we have to announce or proclaim:

LISTING OF WHAT IS TO COME

Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have been fulfilled and new things I declare: before they spring forth I proclaim them.

Former things Accomplished:

1 Peter 1: 18-20 For God redeemed you from the pointless life you inherited from your forefathers, and you know very well that the cost of this rescue was not with perishable goods such as gold or silver. 19- But with the precious blood of Christ, sacrificed a lamb without blemish or spot. 20- Christ had been earmarked for this since before the creation of the world, but in the recent times has come for your own good.

John 1:29-30 the next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and saith, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. 30- This is he of whom I said, after me comes a man who ranks before me because he was before me.

What remains to be accomplished and announce:

Revelation 22:12 Behold, I come quickly and my rewards are with me to reward every man according as his work.

The word SOON comes from the Greek TAJÚ and translates: SUDDENLY. It is necessary that the Church of Christ announced that the Lord comes suddenly, when he was not expected, He will appear.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Isaiah 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place on earth; I did not say to the descendants of Jacob: You will seek me in vain. I am the LORD; I speak righteousness, declaring righteousness.

The church needs to proclaim righteousness, BUT IT CAN NOT PROCLAIM RIGHTEOUSNESS IF IT STAYS IN A DARK PLACE, a place where they don't put faith to the search of God.

1 Chronicles 29:17 I know, my God, that you test the heart, and you like righteousness, for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willing offered all these things…

Righteousness is announced when you give to the Lord from what you gain honestly, having left what is illegal.

Psalms 17:2 Your presence is needed in my defense let your eyes see the righteousness.

The announcement of righteousness not only talks, firstly it must be lived:

Ecclesiastes 8:10 I have also seen the wicked buried with honors, in contrast, those who frequented the shrine were then left in the city where they had acted correctly. This also is vanity.

Your righteousness does not depend on how much men applaud you, but how much you want God to be pleased with you:

Psalm 37:27-28 Depart from evil, do good and you will live for ever.28- For the Lord Loves justice and does not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be destroyed.

God loves those who are driven directly, and that's why he does not forsake them, but who are driven twisted, not only let them homeless, BUT THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE DESTROYED.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE REWARD

Zechariah 9:12 Turn to the stronghold, prisoners of hope, today I declare that I will double reward.

God does not disappoint on him in whom he puts his hope, but this announcement comes BACK TO STRENGTH:

Matthew 21:16 Jesus Said, Yes. Have you never read: From the mouths of babes and sucklings still, you founded the fortress?

Another version says:

Matthew 21:16 and they said: Do you hear what they say? And Jesus answered: Yes, you never have read: FROM THE MOUTH OF SMALL CHILDREN AND INFANTS YOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE?

The strength is PRAISE GOD WHATEVER HAPPENS, and that ANNOUNCES THAT YOUR HOPE IS IN GOD, so it will be the verse that says:

Romans 5:4-5
that patience that makes us grow and mature kindles hope 5- which will not be frustrated, because it already has given us the Holy Spirit, and through the love of God will pour into our hearts.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE FAMILY RESTORATION

Luke 1:5 the Birth of John: in the days of Herod, king of Judea, a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah, his wife was of the daughters of Aaron and called Elizabeth.

Luke 1:7 But they had no children because Elizabeth was barren. Both were already elderly.

There are a families who for years have been unsuccessful, not only in the literal, but his house has been going through terrible problems and have failed to bear fruit desirable to have a home in peace.

Luke 1:8-9 Now it happened that he executed the priest before God, according to the class order, 9- and he was fortunate to enter, according to the custom of the priesthood, in the sanctuary of the Lord to burn incense.

Zachary came to offer incense, it says in the writing, it is the prayers of the saints, and as priest, not only came to pray but to intercede for his people and his home and then:

Luke 1:13 but the angel said: Fear not, Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

God answered the prayer of a troubled father, a father who never tired TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE IS HOPE IN GOD, AND THAT'S WHY HE WAS GRANTED THE NOTICE OF THE FAMILY RESTORATION.

Matthew 17:11-13 Jesus answered and said: In truth, Elijah comes and will restore all things, 12- Bu I tell you that Elijah has come, and you did not know him…13- then the disciples understood that He spoke of John the Baptist.

If you have a family that is being restored, YOU NEED TO GO AND ANNOUNCE TO OTHERS THAT THERE IS RESTORATION FOR THEIR HOUSES ALSO.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS

Luke 1:26 the Birth of Jesus: in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

But this announcement is not the biological birth of Jesus, FOR EVERYONE: THAT BIRTH MEANS KNOWLEDGE, UP TO UNBELIEVERS AND ENEMIES OF CHRISTIANITY. The announcement of the birth of Jesus Is:

Matthew: 12:49-50 and he stretched his hand toward his disciples, said: These are my mother and my brothers, 50- for whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother, my sister and my mother.

John 6:40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

It is necessary to proclaim that all people need to recognize and confess Jesus Christ as their one and only Savior, who does not need other or another.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST

Acts 17:3 Explaining and through the Scriptures that it was necessary that Christ should suffer and rise from the dead. And he said, Jesus, whom I proclaim is the Christ.

1 Peter 1:20 Christ had been earmarked for this since before the creation of the world, but in recent times has come for your own good.

Hebrews 10:5-7 therefore, when entering the world, says: SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT WANTED, BUT YOU HAVE PREPARED A BODY FOR ME; 6- IN BURNT and sacrifices for sin YOU HAVE NOT PLEASED. 7- THEN I SAID: BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE SCROLL OF THE BOOK IS WRITTEN BY ME) TODO, OH GOD, YOUR WILL.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AN UNKNOWN GOD FOR SOME OF YOU ALL

Acts 17:23-25 For, going and watch your sacred monuments, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Well, without knowing what we venerate, that's what I proclaim. 24- The God who made the world and everything in it, being, as is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelled not in temples made by hand, 25- not have to be cared by human hands, as if he needed anything, since it is Him who gives to all life and breach and all things.

It is necessary to explain to people that worships images of a God who they do not really know, who made the world and everything in it, THAT THEY REALLY NEED TO GET TO KNOW HIM, OPENING THEIR HEART AND CONFESSING IT WITH THEIR MOUTH THAT JESUS IS THE LORD.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS DEATH

1 Corinthians 11:26 So every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

This announcement like everyone else is not by firstly by words, but YOU DIE TO YOURSELF THROUGH THE SACRAMENT

1 Corinthians 11:27-28 therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord, 28- therefore , let a man examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink of the cup.

Dine with dignity is to accept our mistakes and admit our sins, to apologize and beg God to make us die to everything that does not work. In this way we hope to announce his death and the manifestation of his coming.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people of God, t proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light;
