Fellowship Conference New England | Trailer

I was with someone this week that said,

"Mention things like Jesus,

and then mention things like Gandhi

in the same conversation."

Listen, those two things,

they can't come together.

There is no Gandhi and
Jesus coming together

unless Gandhi repents of his sins,

puts his faith and hope in Jesus Christ

as the all-sufficient Savior.

But there is no uniting of arms

and just being one big happy

kumbaya family with these people.

These are the people that
Paul is warning about.

These are the plausible arguments

that Paul says they appeal

to your human intellect.

They appeal to your emotion.

Doesn't it make sense

that Jesus would want us all to get along

and set doctrine aside?

And Paul says, "No!"

You can't do that.

And we as a body must say no.

We must recognize this
is happening out there.

That's one of my jobs is
defend against these things

by proclaiming truth

so when you hear heresies come in,

you identify it.

You mark it.

I need a church

because I need help to press on

when the going gets really tough.

I don't have the goods.

I don't have the grace in myself.

I don't have the strength or the wisdom

or the perspective in myself

to make it through

this waste howling wilderness of sin

without the brethren
strengthening me in God.

And you don't either.

To press on with the going gets tough.

To realize and remember

that Christ saved me individually

to include me in His body.

And they were selling their possessions -

look at that!

They're selling their possessions.

The things that they wanted to hold on to.

Well, that's been in my family

for three generations.

That piece of property over there.
I can't part with that.

That's how people are here.

They've got to hold on to things.

You know why they can sell

that piece of property

that's been in the family
for three generations now?

Because something's more important!

This person over here,

even though they may be

another economic level than me

and their skin color may be different,

we have this in common:

we have believed on the same Christ

and I love them

and I'm willing to sell my lands for them.

The glory of Christ's Kingdom

is what He's doing in the trenches

in local churches

where He's building your life

and you sit under pastors and elders.

And they teach you

and they feed you

and you grow.

And the truth grows in you.

You don't even realize it's happening.

But you're in the atmosphere

of where Christ pours His water.

You see Christ is the
fountain of living water.

But He has a well in the earth.

Guess what the well is?

The well is His church.

That's where He deposits His water.

This is the church.

It is a world of love

and it goes back to the
spring of God Himself.

He overflows with love towards us.

And if He so loved us,

how can we not love the others?

Look to Jesus.

Turn away from yourself.

Turn away from what
you're believing today.

Turn away from what you're trusting.

Look to Jesus Christ -

the dying Lamb of God.

The Bible says,

upon Whom God poured His wrath out

for your sin and for my sin.

God poured His wrath out

on the Son of God,

as if He hated Him because He hated us

and our sins.

But Jesus took that in our place.

Our God took that in our place

that we might be saved.

Turn away from everything else.

Turn to Christ.

I admonish you.

I beg you.

I plead with you.

Turn to Jesus Christ.
