00:00.441 --> 00:02.806
We need to do something to become approved unto God.
00:02.846 --> 00:04.811
We and you don't.
00:05.693 --> 00:06.114
It's done.
00:07.462 --> 00:23.797
And now that it's done and you've been given heaven and forgiveness of sins and Justification by faith and righteousness, now that it's all yours for free, out of your inner man, out of your new creation, being come forth good works.

00:43.743 --> 00:51.680
Calm Pastor boy on Jansic and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.
00:52.642 --> 01:02.430
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by his grace and that he has a real hope and a future for you.
01:05.980 --> 01:11.834
Grateful that you're here in person and grateful for those of you joining us online.
01:14.540 --> 01:18.666
Hallelujah, I Joked in the first service I was.
01:19.669 --> 01:19.870
I was.
01:20.671 --> 01:34.488
I Was just reminded why, typically, emily and I take a mini vacation and we're not here on this Sunday, because our anniversary is December the 1st and We'll be celebrating 11 years.
01:34.588 --> 01:42.124
Now, for some of you were just getting started, I know, but 11 years, nothing to sneeze at.
01:42.505 --> 01:43.146
I mean that you.
01:43.246 --> 01:47.663
The Bible talks about the fruit of long suffering and she has.
01:49.602 --> 01:51.366
What was it meant to be that funny?
01:51.827 --> 02:00.182
Just meant to be a little little joke on the side, and I'm just circulated towards my wife, she's so.
02:00.484 --> 02:17.140
We normally, we normally take they and I'm because so many of our people are out and but we wanted to stay here and it's good to be with you all while a lot of our people are still on their way back or Tripping out on tryptophan, still recovering.
02:18.565 --> 02:21.525
But what a wonderful name we have in Jesus.
02:21.625 --> 02:29.132
It's the all-access past to the Father and to heaven, and I am so thankful this Thanksgiving weekend, amen.
02:30.241 --> 02:31.563
We are in Galatians.
02:32.265 --> 02:40.227
We are concluding our series on Galatians, clash of the Covenants, and what a what a trip it's been.
02:42.221 --> 02:43.566
I've said this earlier.
02:44.509 --> 02:45.513
I want to reiterate it.
02:46.282 --> 03:12.006
I pray for you often, and I I pray about what's what's ahead for us and and what's happening in the world, taking note that we're entering into 2024 and another election cycle, and if you remember, four years ago, things got very, very crazy, or have you forgotten already?
03:14.184 --> 03:21.165
You talk about brother will rise up against brother, father against son, and one's enemies will be.
03:21.547 --> 03:39.928
They have their own household, and I don't expect anything less in 2024, and so my job is to prepare you, and I can't think of any better preparation than being firmly planted in the new Covenant and really understanding the grace of God.
03:41.285 --> 03:44.840
When you are firmly planted in the new Covenant and you understand the grace of God, several things are going to happen.
03:46.284 --> 03:47.126
You're going to be bold.
03:47.548 --> 03:50.035
The Bible says the righteous are as bold as a lion.
03:51.446 --> 03:59.955
Another thing that will happen is you'll be a friend of the Holy Spirit, who's also called the spirit of truth, so that you're not led astray, that you're not blinded, that you're not bamboozled.
03:59.975 --> 04:05.960
If 2020 has shown anything, it's that if a lies repeated often enough, almost everyone will believe it.
04:06.101 --> 04:19.995
And so that we stick close to the spirit of truth, who will keep us in his truth and that we don't go to the left or to the right or go astray, but that we're firm and close with Jesus, amen.
04:20.035 --> 04:20.998
So we're in Galatians, chapter 6.
04:21.058 --> 04:40.050
We're wrapping up and For the first five chapters of Galatians, it truly was the clash of the Covenants, as Paul Reiterated over and over again that we're no longer bound to the old Covenant of the law, but we're now living under the new Covenant of grace.
04:40.800 --> 04:46.213
Chapter 6 is going to deal more with the way we relate to each other within the context of a Christian community.
04:47.102 --> 04:51.844
So I must recap once again Galatians 1 through 5 60 seconds.
04:52.004 --> 04:52.466
Are you ready?
04:53.282 --> 04:53.462
Go?
04:54.781 --> 04:58.631
Two Covenants, the old, the old Covenant.
04:59.794 --> 05:01.866
You Endeavor to become righteous.
05:02.347 --> 05:13.868
You endeavor to be Accepted by God, based on your own law keeping, based on your own ability To keep God's law, crossing every T, dotting every I.
05:14.269 --> 05:18.387
The end result was that we failed over and over again, and when I say we, I mean humanity.
05:18.548 --> 05:21.220
Any person who endeavors to keep the law will fail.
05:22.062 --> 05:22.423
Why?
05:22.985 --> 05:32.133
Because the law places a demand on you but does not fulfill you or, excuse me, does not give you the power to fulfill that demand.
05:33.261 --> 05:35.068
So you always come up short.
05:36.001 --> 05:44.380
It's designed to show us as incapable of walking rightly with God, which, without Jesus, we are.
05:47.045 --> 05:48.348
So it's a failing Covenant.
05:48.909 --> 05:57.687
And then Hebrews it says that, having found fault With them, with the people and with the Covenant, there was a new under the new Covenant.
05:57.727 --> 05:58.690
It's totally different.
05:59.360 --> 06:02.711
You're not trying to get God's approval, you already have it.
06:03.340 --> 06:06.791
You're not trying to get God's righteousness you already have it.
06:07.540 --> 06:10.652
You're not trying to get God's acceptance, you already have it.
06:11.134 --> 06:14.929
It's not based on what you do, it's based on what Jesus has already done.
06:15.480 --> 06:21.845
Whoo, and because of that we celebrate Jesus's cross, his blood and this new Covenant in which we stand.
06:22.266 --> 06:32.120
But there is a warning all throughout Galatians, because this group known as the Judaizers came in and they took this new group of Christians, the Galatians, who had just come to faith in Christ.
06:32.240 --> 06:39.069
They just got saved and they told them it's wonderful that you're Christian and that you believe in Jesus, but you still have to keep the the law.
06:40.442 --> 06:44.269
So the gospel is Jesus plus nothing equals everything.
06:44.309 --> 06:47.395
You cannot add to Christ's already completed work.
06:48.041 --> 06:55.811
But they began to add, and we as people, as human beings, were prone to do the same thing.
06:56.841 --> 07:04.560
We somehow want a part of the salvation process, even though he did it all and when he was done, he sat down.
07:05.502 --> 07:08.209
That means he went into a place of rest, the position of rest.
07:08.489 --> 07:09.933
There was no more work to do.
07:10.701 --> 07:11.263
And really, do you know?
07:11.283 --> 07:12.669
That's what the Sabbath is all about.
07:14.320 --> 07:22.868
The Sabbath was, under the old covenant, one physical day where you abstained from your labor, just as God did from his during creation.
07:24.400 --> 07:31.003
Under the new covenant, jesus abstained from the work of salvation because it was finished, he sat down.
07:32.221 --> 07:38.124
So under the new covenant, the, the Sabbath is celebrated every day, every hour, every minute.
07:38.665 --> 07:44.385
You get to sit back and go, wow, thank you, jesus, you did it all and I don't get to contribute.
07:45.047 --> 07:58.962
I can now follow you, I can now allow you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and I can be led by the Spirit, but as far as my salvation, it is finished, it's a done deal and I can cease from my laborers, amen.
07:59.880 --> 08:05.003
So every day, sabbath day, and do not allow Judizers to come in.
08:05.084 --> 08:09.009
Now, with the Galatians, judizers were an actual physical people group.
08:10.080 --> 08:16.324
Maybe that can happen today, but oftentimes we are our own worst covenant adders and judizers.
08:18.761 --> 08:21.029
We tell ourselves we need to help a savior out.
08:22.500 --> 08:27.804
We tell ourselves we, we, we need to do something we're do-do people.
08:28.700 --> 08:31.067
We need to do something to become approved unto God.
08:31.107 --> 08:33.052
We and you don't.
08:35.301 --> 08:35.722
It's done.
08:37.080 --> 08:53.393
And now that it's done and you've been given heaven and forgiveness of sins and justification by faith and righteousness, now that it's all yours for free, out of your inner man, out of your new creation, being come forth good works.
08:53.841 --> 09:07.507
That's why you're here today, on Thanksgiving Sunday, not because somebody guilted you into being here, not because you feel like you have to be here, otherwise God won't love you anymore, but you're here out of a gratitude of what he has already done.
09:07.603 --> 09:08.666
Do you see the difference?
09:08.666 --> 09:19.791
You're not trying to earn salvation, you're not trying to earn God's unernable, unmerited favor, which is grace, but you're doing the right thing because of what you've already received.
09:19.891 --> 09:20.152
Amen.
09:21.721 --> 09:42.125
And so, once again, I pray for you, I love you and with the coming year, be mindful of grace, because it'll draw you into the presence of God, and I know that you will be safe when you're, when you're close to him, when you keep your head upon his breast.
09:42.606 --> 09:48.980
Somebody who's mixing covenants, somebody who's under condemnation, they're not quick to rest their head on Jesus's breast.
09:49.622 --> 09:56.289
But those who know they're loved forever, those who know they're forgiven forever they will and they'll hear the heart of their savior.
09:57.141 --> 10:05.773
And no matter what happens, come heller high water, the bible says, in destruction and famine you shall laugh.
10:06.781 --> 10:09.985
A thousand will fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand.
10:10.427 --> 10:11.551
But may your confession be.
10:11.812 --> 10:13.860
It will not come near me.
10:14.843 --> 10:18.392
Only with my eyes I will behold and see the reward of the wicked.
10:19.121 --> 10:26.312
And then you get to say well, I'm not wicked, not because I'm so awesome, but because Jesus has made me righteous and he's forgiven all of my sins.
10:27.141 --> 10:31.309
So I qualify For all of the benefits and all of the blessings of God.
10:33.581 --> 10:36.450
And he's forgiven your sins past, present and future.
10:39.541 --> 10:40.468
Someone says how could it be?
10:40.609 --> 10:41.395
My future sins?
10:41.435 --> 10:42.020
How does that work?
10:43.045 --> 10:44.452
Well, every sin is a future sin.
10:44.492 --> 10:46.000
He died for you 2,000 years ago.
10:48.486 --> 10:56.063
In fact, he didn't forgive you of your sins plural, he forgave you of sin, the entirety of sin.
10:56.584 --> 11:03.190
When John the Baptist saw Jesus coming over the hill, he said Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
11:04.160 --> 11:16.054
Singular sin as a concept will be nailed to the cross in Jesus and to all those who believe, their sin past, present and future done away with.
11:16.340 --> 11:18.929
And that is the blessedness of the new covenant, hallelujah.
11:20.900 --> 11:27.509
So let's get into Galatians, chapter six, as we finish up clash of the covenants, it wasn't much of a battle, huh.
11:35.403 --> 11:50.520
Chapter six Paul says brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
11:51.602 --> 12:02.440
Now that first sentence, note that he says if a man is overtaken in any trespass, so not just the little ones, any trespass and this person is overtaken.
12:03.724 --> 12:06.473
I want you to know that nobody chooses how they fall.
12:09.224 --> 12:10.811
Christians sometimes fall.
12:11.944 --> 12:18.356
You don't have to have faith that you're going to fall, you don't have to believe God for it, but it might happen and you don't get to choose.
12:18.680 --> 12:19.624
And you don't get to choose.
12:19.764 --> 12:27.731
If I got to choose how I was going to fall, I'd probably choose that banana peel, right by my temper, peter mattress, and I'd slip and fall and land nice and cushy.
12:28.120 --> 12:29.606
But you don't get to choose how you fall.
12:30.660 --> 12:32.427
You don't get to choose what kind of an accident.
12:33.541 --> 12:35.548
I pick a fender, a little fender bender every time.
12:37.301 --> 12:38.827
I'm not metaphorically speaking, now.
12:39.020 --> 12:49.811
Sometimes it's a head on collision and he gives us instructions on how to treat people within our community, people within the church if they're overtaken in a sin or in a trespass.
12:50.461 --> 13:08.730
You who are spiritual Not those who would, who are secretly happy that you fell into public disgrace because it makes them seem more spiritual Not the busy buddies, not the gossips, but the ones who've partaken of the grace of God and they have his love in their hearts.
13:09.120 --> 13:17.160
You who are spiritual, restore that word restore there from the Greek is brace, like a cast.
13:18.624 --> 13:31.500
Come around them with love, not condemnation, not judgment, but come around them like a cast, like a brace, and brace them up with prayer, with encouragement, with love, with support.
13:32.844 --> 13:36.380
God does the healing, but you're the outward cast that's bracing them up.
13:37.785 --> 13:40.560
It's been said that the Christian army is the only army that shoots its wounded.
13:42.226 --> 13:55.825
I'd have to agree Bizarre thing and I do find this that in churches where the covenants are mixed and the people are under the law, that breeds pride, that breeds a condemning spirit.
13:56.066 --> 13:57.210
You'll see a lot more of that.
13:58.040 --> 14:09.468
But when grace is champion and celebrated and when we're conscious of all that we've been forgiven of, then we're not quick to finger point at somebody else, but a compassion will arise from within us.
14:10.342 --> 14:15.313
You who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.
14:16.282 --> 14:31.353
And he says, as a warning considering yourself lest you also be tempted, because if you don't restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness with love, if you're secretly happy that they fell, then that same thing may be coming for you.
14:32.989 --> 14:33.720
So consider yourself.
14:34.463 --> 14:35.548
You think you're above that.
14:36.410 --> 14:37.040
Sometimes we get disgusted.
14:38.284 --> 14:39.527
How could they fall like that?
14:39.949 --> 14:40.992
How can they do that?
14:42.043 --> 14:42.967
What were they thinking?
14:45.101 --> 14:51.855
You know, in the 80s there were several preachers who had a very public fall.
14:55.602 --> 15:09.833
I won't get into their names, but I remember one of them fell very publicly and then other major ministries, they pointed the finger and publicly they spoke against them and then, one by one, it was exposed that they were all guilty of the same sin.
15:11.243 --> 15:12.709
You don't want to be the finger pointer.
15:14.883 --> 15:19.480
You want to be the one who comes in braces and loves and sees God's restoration and healing.
15:20.166 --> 15:21.600
Considering yourself, because you're not above that.
15:22.402 --> 15:24.851
If you think you are, oh you're next.
15:26.262 --> 15:32.320
Verse two bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
15:32.967 --> 15:34.040
He's kind of winking at the Judaizers.
15:34.602 --> 15:38.417
He's saying those of you who love the law of Moses so much and you think you can be saved by it.
15:38.738 --> 15:39.180
There is a higher law.
15:39.662 --> 15:46.940
He talked about it in the chapter before, in Galatians 5, the law of Christ to love your neighbor as yourself, so bear one another's burdens.
15:47.524 --> 15:49.940
He's going to use two words burdens and loads.
15:50.664 --> 15:56.620
A burden is in the Greek it's like a backpack, but that's overflowing with too much stuff.
15:57.282 --> 16:02.840
Everybody gets a backpack, a load, everyone's has a backpack in life, a load they have to carry.
16:03.461 --> 16:09.552
But if you come across somebody who's just gotten too much now they're being crushed underneath the weight of a burden of life.
16:10.233 --> 16:15.732
Help them and in that way you'll be fulfilling the ultimate law to love your brother and your neighbor as yourself.
16:17.161 --> 16:26.840
Verse three for if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
16:27.041 --> 16:30.430
I've been joking lately about what kind of a scripture plaque I'd like in my office.
16:30.920 --> 16:33.148
Turns out this is really the one I should have aimed at me.
16:35.920 --> 16:41.613
If anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
16:42.141 --> 16:48.840
There is this attitude of the heart that we should have, and both can coexist at the same time.
16:49.522 --> 16:53.592
One attitude says I am a victor in Christ.
16:54.562 --> 17:02.109
I am an overcomer, more than an overcomer, but within Christ I am blessed, I am highly favored.
17:02.591 --> 17:04.717
I'm expecting something good to happen to me.
17:04.937 --> 17:15.634
I'm a child of God, I qualify for all of heaven's benefits and at the same time, to have a heart posture where you say, in and of myself, I'm nothing.
17:16.763 --> 17:23.406
In and of myself, I am wretched In and of myself, I don't deserve heaven, I don't deserve forgiveness, I don't deserve a thing.
17:27.126 --> 17:40.840
The Bible says that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, which is kind of a frightening verse, because I don't like it when Satan resists me, let alone when God himself resists me.
17:41.802 --> 17:48.158
And it says that pride opens you up to the very resistance of God, but he gives grace to the humble.
17:48.178 --> 17:48.800
So what is humility?
17:50.410 --> 17:51.840
It is your dependency on the Lord.
17:52.763 --> 17:54.649
It is you not having confidence in yourself.
17:58.040 --> 18:10.913
The rebuke that Jesus gave the Laodicean church in Revelation, chapter 3, the church age most believe that we're living in the rebuke was you think you're all that, but really you don't even realize.
18:11.114 --> 18:13.840
You're naked, but you think you have costly garments on.
18:14.924 --> 18:16.408
You think you can see, but you're blind.
18:17.442 --> 18:19.308
You think you're rich, but really you're poor.
18:21.202 --> 18:29.174
And the rebuke was that they thought that they were strong in and of themselves, that they had arrived.
18:30.101 --> 18:34.353
May we carry both attitudes of the heart simultaneously, and it is possible.
18:35.235 --> 18:38.800
I'm a champion, I'm a victor and also I need Jesus.
18:39.602 --> 18:41.808
I really, really need Him, because without Him I'm nothing.
18:43.401 --> 18:47.730
For if anyone thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
18:50.120 --> 19:01.828
Verse 4, but let each one examine his own work and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another A bit of a cryptic verse here.
19:02.381 --> 19:17.774
Paul says examine, take inventory of yourself and examine your own works, and really he has echoed this in several other places in the New Testament where Christians will stand before a judgment seat.
19:18.585 --> 19:20.840
There's several judgments that the New Testament talks about.
19:21.762 --> 19:25.712
One is the great white throne judgment at the end of Revelation.
19:26.870 --> 19:27.820
That is the final judgment.
19:28.345 --> 19:31.269
The good news is you won't be a part of that Hallelujah.
19:32.041 --> 19:32.503
Do you remember?
19:35.063 --> 19:36.907
If you remember, some Wild West history?
19:36.947 --> 19:38.591
They talked about those hanging judges.
19:40.785 --> 19:43.820
They're not really trying to find out whether you're guilty or innocent.
19:43.960 --> 19:44.643
Everyone's guilty.
19:46.041 --> 19:47.748
It's kind of like the great white throne judgment.
19:47.840 --> 19:59.288
If you appear there, it's for unbelievers, not believers, and if you appear there it means you have rejected Jesus, you've died in your sin and there's only one verdict guilty.
20:00.202 --> 20:05.969
Thankfully, because of Jesus' great gift and what he's done for you, you'll never stand before the great white throne judgment.
20:07.201 --> 20:10.370
But Paul does talk about the Bema seat, or the judgment seat of Christ.
20:10.940 --> 20:14.627
That's where believers will be judged, not on whether you're going to get into heaven or not.
20:14.940 --> 20:16.286
You're already heaven bound.
20:16.900 --> 20:18.205
All of your sins are forgiven you.
20:18.840 --> 20:21.653
You'll be judged on your heavenly reward.
20:27.010 --> 20:29.035
So how will you be judged on your heavenly reward?
20:30.000 --> 20:31.727
Several factors in the scriptures come up.
20:32.381 --> 20:37.743
One you'll be judged on what you have done with the gifts he has given you, and that's good news.
20:38.425 --> 20:41.187
You're not responsible If you're not called to be a global evangelist.
20:41.440 --> 20:44.786
You're not responsible for the salvation of hundreds of thousands of souls, amen.
20:45.780 --> 20:49.785
And I'm not responsible for the calling on another pastor's life, and he's not responsible for mine.
20:50.340 --> 20:54.127
You're only responsible to fulfill that which he has put inside of you.
20:55.620 --> 20:58.550
And the second thing that comes up in Corinthians.
20:58.880 --> 21:07.103
Paul says at the judgment seat of Christ, the purifying fire of God will hit our works and it could turn.
21:07.244 --> 21:13.428
If it wasn't with the right motive, it'll turn into wood-hands stubble, but if our motive was right, it'll be precious stones.
21:15.220 --> 21:24.666
And that should just cause us to raise our eyebrow to make sure that whatever we do something, it's with the right heart and with the right motive, because you can do all of the right things for all of the right reasons.
21:27.820 --> 21:41.245
Have you ever been a part of a Christian organization where there were tears and distinct hierarchies and you had to work to climb the ranks and then very quickly you forget?
21:41.325 --> 21:42.208
Why am I doing this?
21:42.440 --> 21:45.064
Am I getting caught up with the Lord of the work or the work of the Lord?
21:45.480 --> 21:46.365
And why am I doing this?
21:46.460 --> 21:51.349
To get promoted in the eyes of man, to get another pin from man to be acknowledged by man?
21:51.800 --> 21:58.228
If social media has shown us anything is that without Christ we're all ravenous animals in desperate need of validation and affirmation.
22:01.080 --> 22:01.682
I'm feeling down.
22:01.703 --> 22:09.528
You know what I really need A like from a stranger to let me know that I'm okay, that I exist, that I matter.
22:10.800 --> 22:11.342
I get lonely.
22:11.423 --> 22:14.427
Sometimes I feel like if I died, no one would even miss me.
22:15.500 --> 22:17.147
But Betty over there gave me a like.
22:17.260 --> 22:18.425
I don't even really know Betty.
22:19.040 --> 22:22.245
Her profile picture has a line in the background and she's blown a shofar.
22:23.580 --> 22:27.986
But Betty liked my post and I'm glad to know that I'm making a difference.
22:29.450 --> 22:30.311
I'm sorry, do you know, betty?
22:30.392 --> 22:31.013
You look upset.
22:33.740 --> 22:36.229
Nobody's were harmed in the preaching of this sermon.
22:38.040 --> 22:39.004
It's a matter of motive.
22:40.240 --> 22:49.190
And so when we do the good things that we wanna do for the Lord, empowered by his Holy Spirit under grace, it shouldn't be for people's affirmation Amen.
22:50.440 --> 22:53.409
It should be just for him, for an audience of one amen.
22:55.120 --> 23:04.069
It's easier said than done, but as we die more to self and as we realize that most people just don't care, anyway, it'll cause you to live for that audience of one amen.
23:05.860 --> 23:07.346
Galatians 6, 5.
23:08.940 --> 23:11.329
See, he said bear one another's burdens.
23:11.500 --> 23:13.106
That's the overflowing backpack.
23:14.000 --> 23:17.867
And then he says but each one shall bear his own load, his own backpack.
23:18.047 --> 23:18.809
That's given to us.
23:19.980 --> 23:22.773
And then he goes into an offering, teaching, in verse 6.
23:24.721 --> 23:30.934
Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
23:32.501 --> 23:44.729
So here Paul is laying out how Ministry should be funded and he's saying if you're a teacher of the word, you should be Financially compensated from your ministry.
23:45.522 --> 23:52.889
We know that he, paul, was a tent maker, but he didn't stay a tent maker and he gives his reasons For temporarily being a tent maker.
23:52.909 --> 23:57.725
And part of his reasons were that he just didn't want to give him any Excuse not to hear him.
23:57.745 --> 24:13.760
He didn't want anybody to say oh, he's just preaching and he's in ministry for financial gain, so he may tense on the side, but the way God has always established it was that a minister Be compensated for the ministry and not to muzzle the ox that treads out the corn.
00:02.846 --> 00:04.811
00:05.693 --> 00:06.114
00:07.462 --> 00:23.797
