“The Pillar and Foundation of the Truth” (1 Timothy 3:14–16)Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/March 25, 2015“Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.” (1 Timothy 3:14–16, NIV) 1. The local church must receive and obey the truth (v. 14-15a).2. The local church must uphold the truth.a. The church is God’s house.b. The church belongs to the living God.c. The church is the pillar and foundation of the truth.Main Idea: It is the responsibility of the local church to support, protect, and propagate the truth.

“The Fall of Babylon the Great” (Revelation 18:1–19:10)
Sunday Mar 22, 2015
Sunday Mar 22, 2015
“The Fall of Babylon the Great” (Revelation 18:1–19:10)Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday PM/March 22, 20151. The world laments over the fall of the great city of Rome (1–3).“After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”” (Revelation 18:1–3, NIV) 2. The churches are warned to separate from Roman paganism, pleasure, and luxury, so as to not be judged with the world (4–8). “Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.” (Revelation 18:4–8, NIV) 3. The kings and merchants of the Roman world collectively mourn the destruction of their source of wealth, security, and pleasure (9–19).““When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!’ “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore—cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves. “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’ “Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’” (Revelation 18:9–19, NIV) 4. The fall of Rome represents the final and sure destiny of all who oppress and persecute God’s holy people (20–24).““Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you.” Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. The music of harpists and musicians, pipers and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No worker of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s important people. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”” (Revelation 18:20–24, NIV) 5. God’s people rejoice in his sovereign justice when sin is ultimately judged and God reigns supreme (19:1–10).“After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.” And again they shouted: “Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.” The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried: “Amen, Hallelujah!” Then a voice came from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both great and small!” Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.) Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”” (Revelation 19:1–10, NIV) Main Idea: God’s chosen people should not find their joy in the sins and luxuries of this world; rather they should look with eagerness for the coming kingdom of God when his justice is carried out on a sinful world.

"Peter's Denial and Jesus' Interrogation" (John 18:15-40)
Sunday Mar 22, 2015
Sunday Mar 22, 2015
“Peter Denies Jesus” (John 18:15–18, 25–27)Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday AM/March 22, 2015“Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest’s courtyard, but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in. “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples too, are you?” she asked Peter. He replied, “I am not.” It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.” (John 18:15–18, NIV) “Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, “You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.” One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?” Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.” (John 18:25–27, NIV) 1. Peter’s denial is a fulfillment of Jesus’ own prophetic words.“Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!” (John 13:37–38, NIV) 2. Peter’s denial is an example of the truth that Jesus would have to bear the weight of our sins all alone on the cross, abandoned by his closest friends.3. Peter’s denial is a reminder that in our own flesh we are often over-confident, but in reality we are too weak to meet real life challenges to our faith.4. Peter’s repeated denials illustrate the truth that sin progressively binds the sinner. 5. Peter’s denials reveal the power of the fear of man to ensnare us. 6. Peter’s denials and Jesus’ forgiveness reminds us that we stand only by the undeserved grace of God for sinners.“Jesus Is Interrogated” (John 18:19–24, 28–40)“Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. “I have spoken openly to the world,” Jesus replied. “I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.” When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. “Is this the way you answer the high priest?” he demanded. “If I said something wrong,” Jesus replied, “testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?” Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.” (John 18:19–24, NIV) “Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?” “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.” Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” “But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected. This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die. Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” “Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?” Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” They shouted back, “No, not him! Give us Barabbas!” Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.” (John 18:28–40, NIV) 1. The interrogation of Jesus before Annas reveals the illegality and injustice that Jesus’ accusers would use to murder Jesus (19–24).2. The interrogation of Jesus before Annas reveals that Jesus was on the side of truth and openness, while his accusers were steeped in deception, plots, and manipulation (19–24).3. The trial of Jesus before Pilate reveals the hypocrisy of outward religion (28). 4. Jesus is a true King, but his Kingdom is not a typical earthly kingdom with armies and political alignments. His Kingdom is a spiritual, heavenly one that unworthy sinners enter into by faith (33–36).5. Pilate’s skepticism regarding truth reflects our current postmodern age; but this narrative also reminds us that truth can only be found ultimately in Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life (37–38).6. Pilate’s willingness to release a condemned man and punish an innocent man reveals the pull of our depraved hearts toward ease, physical security, and the praise of man (38–39).7. Jesus’ standing in the place of Barabbas is a picture of what he came to do in his larger mission for sinners (39–40).Main Idea: Christ endured the abandonment and denial of his friends and the injustice and manipulation of his enemies so that he might rescue sinners from death.

“Servants in
the Church” (1 Timothy 3:8–13)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/March
18, 2015
1 Timothy
3:1–13 (NIV)
3
Here is a trustworthy
saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now
the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate,
self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not
given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of
money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his
children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. 5 (If
anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of
God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may
become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He
must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into
disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
8 In
the same way, deacons are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging
in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep
hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They
must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve
as deacons.
11 In
the same way, the women are to be worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but
temperate and trustworthy in everything.
12 A
deacon must be faithful to his wife and must manage his children and his
household well. 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent
standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Main Idea: The
needs of the church of Jesus Christ must be met by faithful servants who are
mature examples of the Christian faith.
The
deacon’s responsibility (v.8).
A deacon is a servant.
i.
Diakanos means servant.
ii.
In one sense all
Christians are servants.
iii.
Deacons in the technical
sense are a specifically called out group of people who are given
responsibility in the church to serve various needs within the congregation.
iv.
The area of service is
determined by the needs of the congregation.
A deacon is not necessarily a teacher.
A deacon is not an overseer.
The
deacon’s qualifications (vv. 8-12).
Personal Character
Spiritual Life
Christian Service
Moral Purity
Home Life
Qualifications for “women.”

deacon’s reward (v. 13).

“The Adulterous Woman and the Beast” (Revelation 17:1–18)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun PM/March 15, 2015
Revelation 17:1–18 (NIV)
17 One of the
seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show
you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With
her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth
were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”
3 Then the angel
carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on
a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and
ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and
was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in
her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The
name written on her forehead was a mystery:
babylon the great
the mother of prostitutes
and of the abominations of the earth.
6 I saw that the
woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy people, the blood of those who
bore testimony to Jesus.
When I saw her, I was greatly
astonished. 7 Then the angel said to me: “Why are you
astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she
rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast,
which you saw, once was, now is not, and yet will come up out of the Abyss and
go to its destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been
written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished
when they see the beast, because it once was, now is not, and yet will come.
9 “This calls for
a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They
are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but
when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The
beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven
and is going to his destruction.
12 “The ten horns
you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour
will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They
have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They
will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he
is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and
faithful followers.”
15 Then the angel
said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples,
multitudes, nations and languages. 16 The beast and the ten
horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave
her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For
God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand
over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. 18 The
woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

“Jesus Betrayed and Arrested” (John 18:1–14)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sun AM/March 15, 2015
John 18:1–14 (NIV)
18 When he had
finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley.
On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
2 Now Judas, who
betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his
disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment
of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They
were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing
all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you
want?”
5 “Jesus of
Nazareth,” they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas
the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said,
“I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked
them, “Who is it you want?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
8 Jesus answered,
“I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This
happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost
one of those you gave me.”
10 Then Simon
Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting
off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded
Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given
me?”
12 Then the detachment
of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They
bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the
father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas
was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man
died for the people.

Jesus’ Betayal and Arrest Reveals the
Depravity and Stubbornness of Unrepentant Sinners (1–4).
2.
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest Reveals His
Divine Omniscience and the Certainty of the Father’s Plan (1–4).
3.
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest Reveals His
Divine Majesty and Authority as the Eternal God (5–7).
4.
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest Reveals His
Concern and Protection for His Chosen Disciples (8–9).
5.
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest Reveals the
stubbornness of unbelief and our tendency to see things from a short-sighted
earthly perspective (10–11).
6.
Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest Reveals the
humble willingness of Jesus to endure the wrath of God for sinful people as a
substitutionary atonement in fulfillment of the Father’s will (11b–14).
Main Idea: The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus were a
necessary and purposeful part of God’s sovereign merciful plan to rescue
sinners through the atoning death of Jesus Christ.

“Qualifications
for Pastors” (1 Timothy 3:1–7)

Here is a trustworthy

if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in
God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and
foundation of the truth. (1 Tim. 3:15, NIV)
Main Idea: The church of Jesus Christ must be led by men who are morally
qualified to be examples to the flock and who have been gifted by God with the necessary
abilities to shepherd the flock.
The
oversight of the church is scripturally entrusted to
elders/pastors/overseers.
Elders
must be male.
Overseer/elder/shepherd/pastor
all refer to the same office in the NT.
The
pastoral office in the NT church is a good and noble work that men should
aspire to.
The NT
pattern appears to be more than one elder in each church.
The
pastoral office is reserved for men who have attained a high degree of
moral character and the necessary abilities for feeding and leading God’s
flock.

“The Bowls of God’s Wrath” (Revelation 16:1–21)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday PM/March 8,
2015
Revelation 16:1–21 (NIV)
16 Then I heard
a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the
seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”
2 The first angel
went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out
on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel
poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead
person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel
poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. 5 Then
I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
“You are just in
these judgments, O Holy One,
you who are and
who were;
6 for
they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,
and you have
given them blood to drink as they deserve.” 7 And I heard the
altar respond:
“Yes, Lord God
Almighty,
true and just
are your judgments.”
8 The
fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch
people with fire. 9 They were seared by the intense heat and
they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they
refused to repent and glorify him.
10 The fifth angel
poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged
into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and
cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they
refused to repent of what they had done.
12 The sixth angel
poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to
prepare the way for the kings from the East. 13 Then I saw
three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the
dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and
they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on
the great day of God Almighty. 15 “Look,
I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so
as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.” 16 Then they
gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. 17 The seventh
angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice
from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 Then there came
flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No
earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so
tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city split into three
parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the
Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 Every
island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21 From
the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people.
And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so
terrible.

“Jesus Prays for His Disciples” (John 17:6–26)

2015
John 17:6–26 (NIV)
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 “I
have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were
yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now
they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For
I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty
that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9 I
pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,
for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is
mine. And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain
in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to
you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me,
so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with
them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has
been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be
fulfilled.
13 “I
am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so
that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I
have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the
world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that
you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They
are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them
by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the
world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify
myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me
through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father,
just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world
may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the
glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—23 I
in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the
world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
24 “Father,
I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory,
the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the
world.
25 “Righteous
Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you
have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will
continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in
them and that I myself may be in them.”

“Women in
the Church” (1 Timothy 2:11–15)Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/March
4, 2015
1 Timothy
2:8–15 (NIV)
8 Therefore
I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or
disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with
decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or
gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds,
appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A
woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do
not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be
quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And
Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a
sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they
continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in
God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and
foundation of the truth. (1 Tim. 3:15, NIV)
Main Idea: God has designed and ordered his church to be led by male elders
and teachers.
Christian
women demonstrate their godliness by learning in the church with a quiet
and submissive spirit (11).
Christian
women remain true to their God-given femininity by submitting to male
leadership in the church (12–14).
Christian
women demonstrate their sanctification when they embrace their
God-ordained feminine roles (15).

“The Holy Justice of the Lord God Almighty” (Revelation
15:1–8)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday PM/March 1,
2015
Revelation 15:1–815 I saw in
heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last
plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And
I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside
the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over
the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and
sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:
“Great and
marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God
Almighty.
Just and true
are your ways,
King of the
nations.
4 Who
will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory
to your name?
For you alone
are holy.
All nations
will come
and
worship before you,
for your
righteous acts have been revealed.”
5 After
this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple—that is, the tabernacle of the
covenant law—and it was opened. 6 Out of the temple came the
seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen
and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7 Then one of the
four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with
the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8 And the temple
was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one
could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were
completed.
Prayer: Father, glorify yourself through the teaching
of these sacred writings. Reveal your holy justice and your boundless mercy to
us through these words. And, may we find courage for the present and hope for
the future in them. Amen.

“The Glory of God in the Glorification of the Son” (John
17:1–5)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Sunday AM/March 1,

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
"Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify
you. 2 For you granted him
authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have
given him. 3 Now this is
eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you
have sent. 4 I have brought
you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in
your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. (John
17:1-5, NIV)
1.
The Glory of God revealed in Jesus
Christ.

Christ.
