Experience of divine

Tongues gave the early church as a belong

   Miraculous experience of speaking of tongues after Jesus

Speaking in tongues... Pray for things we should pray about and pray when we do not know what to pray about

These experiences changes our life

Jesus is Lord

Everything we need is in the house, in the community

Characters of love

Patient to ppl cos God is patient with us

Kind not only to ppl who are nice but also ppl who drives ppl crazy

If we need to tell ppl that we are good, most probably we ain't

Always in the interest of others

Characters of love

What is the first reaction and word that came out, shows what we really are

When we are through with ppl, God still works

God doesn't write ppl off, there is always hope

1 Cor 14

Problem

Comment

Christ died for our sins, buried, risen from the dead and appeared to many

Comment

Resurrection body perfect for us enough to live forever

Proverbs

By helping others, the Holy Spirit will change us

   Humble, drained of pride

When we serve others, we think that we are doing good for others, but it's God doing something in us

Luke

Matt 20

Matt

When we serve, the Lord will help us to be more like Jesus

Set aside what we are busy with

   Total abandonment

-

-we can be successful when we follow Jesus. But if we are not carful, with that success will lead us away from Jesus

John 1 

Roman

-the Holy spirit through the poor is helping ua

In general

Paul is not anti marriage or sex

Our spiritual identity has nothing in what we do or who we are but our identity is in God

   Don't ever change anything.. married or single will not change our relationship with God

Slogan

1 Cor 7 1 16

Comments

To Paul, mutual is impt in a healthy marriage

Widow and widowers

10-11

In Jewish culture, only male can divorce

Stay as you are

12-16

Cannot walk out if marriage over sex

You nv know if you can lead your unbelieving spouse to the Lord

Virgins 25-40

Comments

The community of faith is where Holy Spirit dwells

Not about equality but how much freedom

Pic in Paul's church

Don't bring shame

Pic while understanding 

When we enter a new community, don't change the culture anything we don't have to

God created male and female... There should be a distinction

   The function of equality... Both male and female can do

Definition

Mutual submission to each other

Problem

Problem: there is a bridge between rich and poor

Potluck.. the rich could bring the food, but the poor may not be able to bring any

   The rich came early, and ate the food.. till the poor arrives, the food is finished

1 Cor 11 17-22

Comment

Classes are washed away by the blood of Jesus

   There should be classes in a church

The Passover story

Whole lamb means unity

Celebrate together.. as ONE, not in individual groups

Passover story and Lord's supper

Jesus is the paasover lamb

Community of faith, all as one, leaving nobody out

1 Cor 11 23 26

Comment

1cor 11 27 29

Comment discern

When we partake, keep ourselves clean before we partake

Comment

Become aware of the difference and not divided

   Ensure everyone in the community is treated equally

Can never leave anybody out of the community

God's grace is marginalized

   If there's anybody is left out there, it's violating the Lord's supper

The Lord's supper bread and cup covers every person

Purpose of Communion : we sinned, no chance

   God by grace gave us

Acts 11

The Antioch christians were young but on fire for God

Mark 9 36

We always like the clever, beautiful, smart but the kingdom of God is upside down

Acts 11 29

Many of the Antioch sold to give out of generosity and love
