2238 UTC Does the Ecclesiastical structure represent the church...Jesus is establishing his kingdom with the Church
2240 UTC Be an advocate of the Church...Jesus is the head of the Church, not the CEO
2242 UTC We are an expression of the Church
2244 UTC OM with ID..."We are fishers of men"
2247 UTC Jesus of Nazerath...we have been given a free gift...we're not saved by words...the good news of Jesus Church...it's his place, not ours

2254 UTC What will our generation stand for...many betrayals...
2255 UTC Great signs and miracles...false messiahs...
2258 UTC They use deception to manipulate...dominate and control...gotta protect yourself from them...be wise about what is good...innocent about what is evil
2259 UTC Obedient to the truth that you know...the Bible says we are the kingdom of God. We have Free Will
2300 UTC They're still praying for each other...turning to a different Gospel...trying to pervert the Gospel of Christ...a different Gospel leads to a false Church...Jesus is the center...turning away from the goodness of God
2302 UTC We are celebrating confusion...lovers of self, lovers of money...ungrateful...marxist...deny the power of God
2304 UTC Work together...Jesus met that price in full...the cross...
2305 UTC People who are unusually fickle...Corinthian Church...more than just an expression of our will...God has given us a blueprint for our lives
2306 UTC The world is full of immoral, greedy...sexually immoral or a slanderer...deviation from the current practice of the people of God...don't justify...diminishes us...don't associate with is...what are you thinking what are you doing...

2323 UTC (strong QRM again)
2324 UTC Morals we have aspired to within the Church...we're not going to overcome evil on our own
2326 UTC If you decide to honor the Lord...God is supernatural...
2327 UTC It has to do with human nature...initiation rites...Solomon a different character than David...Solomon born to the purple...had every advantage..he was miserable...he suffered in death
2331 UTC He lost it all...he was purifying the Church...giving us insight...The Gospel of the Kingdom of God will be preached in the whole world
2333 UTC The Gospel was being held in high esteem...the cause of Christ...(QRM again)
