As We Are One (Compilation) — Compilations

Jesus Withdraws to Pray

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place where he prayed.

Jesus Warns of Judgment and Repentance

On that day, when there were a lot of children going to school, Jesus said to them, That God may raise the children of Abraham from these stones. And the axe is already laid at the root of the tree.

When the people heard this, they were heartbroken, and they said to Peter and the rest of the disciples,.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

Jesus and his mother and his brothers and his disciples went down to the city of Capernaum, where they stayed for a few days. And when the Jewish New Year was approaching, Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple cattle and sheep.

The Church Includes Every People and Social Class

Was likely, according to most biblical scholars, to be a black man. Lucius of Cyrene is yet another nationality, Gentile. Menaean, which has been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch, was a Roman, and Saul, we know, was a Jew.

You say, what has that got to do with anything? And my answer is, everything. The true church is not a country club, where people of the same economic and social status have a little cozy thing going together.

The true church is the expression of the local believers in a given locality. If they're black, they're white, they're Jewish, they're Gentile, they're older, they're younger, they're poor, they're skinny, they're fat, they're every shape and size and description, but they are God's people together.

Persevering Through the Spirit

Whereas those that sowed in the Spirit, and those that labored, and those that believed, and those that persevered, and those that held on, and those that weren't moved by earthly things, but believed God, believed God, supported by His grace, sowed in the Spirit.

Apostolic Mission and Sacrifice

For these men that were separated by the Holy Ghost by name, and were sent forth by the laying on of hands, shook the earth and turned cities upside down. Don't tell me about successful ministries. They can't compare to the apostolic splendor and the glory of what happened from those who were sent forth out of Antioch.

For God's sake, wake up! I'll tell you, some of those that were sent forth by the Holy Ghost never returned. They found themselves stoned to death, imprisoned, burned at the stake, sawn asunder. They wandered naked and destitute.

They lived in caves and holes. And do you want to know something tonight? You can bet your life on it. We are surrounded this night by a cloud of invisible witnesses. Of the very men that I'm describing are watching this service tonight.

Breaking Beyond the Status Quo

I'm getting a chill, goosebumps, half-inch high. This service is being watched by a cloud of invisible witnesses, who will not be perfect without you. They're wondering if you're going to get with it.

They're wondering if you're going to be satisfied with the status quo, and be just another groovy and successful church, or you're going to break through into the kind of realities that will again shake the earth.
