<div class="SSN_title">"THE GLORIOUS CHURCH"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Three methods of interpretation - Eastern love song; ethical, allegorical. The relationship between Christ and His church. Spurgeon "Take your shoes off your feet." Description of the church. Brilliant eastern skies darkness before dawn.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. IN RELATION TO HERSELF "LOOKETH FORTH AS THE MORNING."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The continual consciousness "the day is coming."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We read of turmoil in the mid-east.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We read of college campus rioting.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. By this consciousness is strength to endure.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The darker it gets, the closer to dawn.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. This is an exciting time of the day.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The birds begin to sing.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The petals of the flowers begin to open.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. A gentle breeze begins to stir.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. IN RELATION TO THE WORLD "FAIR AS THE MOON."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The moon is a light that shines in darkness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "Ye are the light of the world."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. It is a reflected light.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Its glory comes not of itself.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The source of the light is the sun.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. At this moment the world is in darkness, but the sun still shines.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. How did I know?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Maybe the sun has gone out; Never be another dawn.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. See the moon up there, she is witness that the sun still shines; the world in long night of darkness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The church is that witness that the Son still shines.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "Let your light so shine before man."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. IN RELATION TO HER LORD "CLEAR AS THE SUN."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. We are painfully aware of imperfection within.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. There are strivings.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Petty jealousies and competition.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Factions and parting spirits (pulling apart).</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. So many followers of Christ, divided in purpose, concepts.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Within large circle of followers, smaller circle of believers.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Jesus knows who they are.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. They know themselves.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">3. Jesus sees them as "clear as the sun."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Does this mean they are perfect?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Though we oft see ourselves in our imperfections, God sees us in Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Righteous as He is righteous; pure as He is pure.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Not my works that count - righteousness which is by faith.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Do you become discouraged because you do not see yourself "pure as the sun?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Begin to trust Him more and yourself less.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Come into the Son and the Father will see you in Christ.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. HER RELATION TO THE ENEMIES OF GOD "TERRIBLE AS AN ARMY WITH BANNERS."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. We tend to excuse our weakness by calling it love.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. In our love and peace chant, We forget that Christ made a scourge and drove the wicked money changers out of the temple.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We have taken a soft tolerant attitude toward evil.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We have consented to Satan's line of peaceful co-existence.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. There can never be peace while evil is in the world.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. We are at war! Fighting in deadly conflict with forces of hell.</div>
