God’s Experiences

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:29

Description:

Scripture:
Php 1:29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.

Have you ever thought about the kind of gifts God gives? The kind of things that God grants to us to experience? Have you ever gone out on a bright sunshiny day and you just can’t help but be filled with the sense that God, has bestowed this, has granted this, for us to experience? Paul says God grants other things for us to experience. Philippians chapter one he says, Verse 29, For you, it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake. Sometimes the things God grants aren’t always pleasant to experience, but they are for our benefit. If you’re suffering for Christ, hold fast and stay strong.

Let Your Conduct Be Worthy

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:27

Description:

Scripture:
Php 1:27 Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.

Have you ever considered this challenging phrase in Philippians one? Paul writes to the church at Philippi, let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ. So much could be said about that phrase. So much could be said about that admonition. Let your conduct, let your life… Let the way you live it be worthy of the gospel of Christ. Gospel is the good news. The fact that Jesus Christ came, lived, died, and rose again for our salvation, sacrificing himself for us to redeem us. Is your conduct worthy of the Gospel of Christ? May our conduct always be worthy of His gospel.

A Rock and Hard Place

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:21-23

Description:

Scripture:
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

Transcript:
You’ve probably heard the phrase, I’m between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes you find yourself in a situation in life where you are truly stuck between two difficult choices, but I imagine for most of us, we wouldn’t say that about the situation Paul found himself in. The apostle Paul said, for me to live is Christ and the die is gain, but if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit for my labor, and yet what I shall choose, I cannot tell for I am hard pressed between the two. Having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better, nevertheless in the flesh is more needful for you. Paul said, I’m stuck between two choices that tear me apart. I want to leave this life and be with Christ, but someone, the church still needs me, so I’ll stay. Does somebody need you? Are you a benefit to someone spiritually? Let’s learn from Paul’s example.

All Who Live Godly in Christ Jesus Will Do This

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:20

Description:

Can you practice what you preach? Do you live the way you speak? Do you do the things you tell others they should do? I know one person who did. It was the apostle Paul. He lived in such a way that he exemplified what he actually taught others. He wrote to Timothy and he said that all who live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. And then he suffered persecution. And when he suffered persecution, guess what? He didn’t give up. He didn’t walk away from Christ. He didn’t say, I quit. A matter of fact, he said in Philippians chapter one verse 20–he says, “but with all boldness as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.” Is it true about you that you practice what you preach? I certainly hope so, and if not, I hope you repent and start living what you tell others today.

Filled With The Fruits Of Righteousness

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:11

Description:

Thanksgiving time might come around any day now and when it does, you might eat a lot of food and if you eat a lot of food, you might become filled. You might become full. You might even become overfilled. In Philippians chapter one, Paul says to the Christians in Philippi, he says, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God. Let me ask you this, is your life filled with the fruits of righteousness that come by being a Christian, being attached to the vine, which is Jesus Christ? John Chapter five are you filled with the fruits of righteousness so that your life brings glory to God? If not, why not? Be filled with Christ today?

The Furtherance of the Gospel

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:12-13

Description:

Passage:
But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.

Have you ever had bad things happen to you and you wonder what good could possibly come from all of this trouble? Paul ended up in prison, thrown in jail, beaten, shipwrecked, taken to another city, into Rome, and then put in jail again and stayed there. But in Philippians chapter one, while in prison, he writes this, “But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the Gospel.” For those who preach the Gospel, hard times come, but sometimes we find that the hard times are open doors to preach the truth. Are you looking for open doors to proclaim the Gospel? I hope you preach the Gospel and let God worry about the troubles.

How Is Your Love?

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:9

Description:

Transcript: How’s your love? How’s your love for Christians and your love for God? Philippians chapter one verse nine, Paul says, and this I pray that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment. The word “abound” here is kind of a word-picture for a river that’s overflowing it’s banks, it’s abounding. It’s flowing more and more and more. How’s your love for God and your love for Christians? Is it abounding? Is it abounding because of your knowledge of God’s word and your knowledge of what God has done for you and your discernment about what is right and wrong? I hope so. May Your love be abounding today and for the rest of your life.

Are You Helping Ministers?

In Admonition by Aaron Cozort

Scripture:

Philippians 1:7

Description:

Transcript: Paul writes this in Philippians chapter one verse seven just as it is right for me to think this of you all because I have you in my heart in as much as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace. Paul writes to the church at Philippi and he says, I’m confident that God will continue his work in you, verse six, because you have participated with me, you have worked with me and taken part in my work even when I was in chains and in bonds– you have participated in this grace, this gift. Are you seeking out those who are working in the gift, the Declaration of the Gospel of Christ, the Gift of God, the mankind? Are you seeking out those people to help them? I hope you are. I hope you’re helping ministers of the Gospel today.

In Sermons by Aaron Cozort

Tonight. I want to go to first Peter chapter one the opening of Peter’s letter. He makes some statements here that I want to look at. First Peter chapter one we’re going to read verse one and two says, Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to the stranger scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, Bethania eat, elect according to the fore knowledge of God,

the father, the word elect means chosen to select who is he talking about? Well, he’s talking about those strangers scattered abroad. Those through that are the Christians he’s writing to the Christians, us, those that are scattered abroad, they are the elect. How are they chosen? Says according to the fore knowledge of God, some would like us to think that we are selected before we were born and we have no choice,

but that’s not the case. Go with me to Fijian chapter one. Ephesians chapter one verse four Says, according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame before him in love, we are chosen in him before the world foundation of the world. God had a plan before he even created us.

What was that plan? Second Thessalonians, Second Thessalonians chapter two verse 13 but we are bound to give thanks always to God for you brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God half from the beginning chose you to salvation through sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth. Where into he called you by our gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

How did he call us through the gospel? Those that are elect are those that are called through the gospel, but how go back to first Peter chapter two our first Peter chapter one verse two it says, elect according to the foreknowledge of God, the father through sanctification of the spirit. Now Aaron, I always like to talk about the same thing on the same night.

John chapter 17 and verse 17 it says, sanctify them through that truth. I word is truth. The word sanctification here means to be set apart for a special purpose. It says here we are sanctified. We are set apart. Set apart from what? From sin. The spirit sets us apart, separates us from sin. How on to the word on two means.

There’s connection here and to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus gave that sacrifice. We are sanctified. We are set apart from sin, from the world through the blood of Christ. Revelation chapter one revelation chapter one and verse four verse five and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness and the first be gotten to the dead and the Prince of the Kings of the earth unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

we are sanctified. We are set apart by that sacrifice that Christ made for us. How can we be the elect? How can we be elect? What we see here, God, the father had a plan before the world began. We see that the spirit separates us from the world through the blood of Christ unto obedience. We have to obey that plan.

We’re not just selected. We don’t have a choice. We have a choice RI. Hebrews chapter five verse nine says, and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. We can be the elect. Just as Peter here talked about how he was riding to the elect, we can be that elect through obedience to his plan of salvation.

We, how do we get in contact without blood, which cleanses us through baptism. We have to follow his plan. We have to hear the message. Romans 10 verse 17 we have to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. Mark 16 verse 15 and 16 we have to repent of our sins. Acts three 19 we have to confess that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

Romans 10 verses nine and 10 and then we have to be baptized where we come in contact with that blood. We rise up, cleanse a new person, the elect of God. Have you done that tonight? Have you done that? Tonight is a night to put on Christ in baptism. If you have not, tonight is the night to do it.

As we stand and as we.
