I rewatched the original ,the commotion was a baby making noise on his left when everyone laughed and he said I win. Then later on his right a woman had a health emergency I don’ know the details of but brother Steve immediately prayed to the Father for help as many did. Father I pray for this woman and her family whether she is still on this earth or if she has passed on . If she trusts in Jesus Christ The Lord , she will go with him to your house where there is more than enough room and our Lord has prepared a place. John 14:3 “When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.” The words of our Lord and in his mighty name I pray Amen ❤❤❤
James 3:17-18 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness. James 4:11-12 Don’t speak evil against each other,dear brothers and sisters. If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor? Hebrews 12:14-15 Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
Great Sermon Pastor Lawson, Job was Not the most righteous person in the Bible, there were three that were righteous in the Bible. Noah, Job and Daniel.
For it is not you that speaks, but the spirit of your Father which speaks in you (Matthew 10:20): Just as Jesus who speaks on behalf of God the Father from beginning to end, the same is commanded of all of God’s servants (John 12:49-50). In all that we do, we are to bring glory to God the Father by speaking and doing all that Jesus has taught us. As we see the power and glory of God magnifying in our lives, we are to relay these things to the whole world. Through the Holy Spirit, we inherit the mind of Jesus Christ, who has the mind of God the Father (John 5:19-20). When we become one in spirit and agreement, *_we are one even as they are one_* (John 17:22). It is God’s spirit that dwells in the bodies of many-_Emmanuel!_ Once we become one with the mind of God the Father, only then will we return to where we originated: GOD. Amen.
I was watching this sermon live. I have many questions. Ironic that this sermon is about compassion over sabbath laws. This is an edited version. I wonder if the first commotion was the beginning of a life threatening attack. Stroke? Heart attack? Did the person try to keep quiet because she was told to shush because she wasn't the one preaching? She brushed off the warning signs until she passed out because she didn't win. She humbled herself. At the cost of her life? Who won? "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." - Matthew 16. God sees into every mind and heart. God is omnipresent and omniscient. God is the truth and knows the truth.
Hi. I would like to clear things up if I may. The first commotion was caused by a baby that was crying. The mother was in the process of taking the crying baby out of the sanctuary when my eight month old son yelled, as babies do, which prompted the "Well one of us has to preach" comment. It was a funny lighthearted moment. Quite a bit later, Pastor Lawson was interrupted mid sentence by a woman addressing the congregation asking for a doctor. Initially, it wasn't clear what the exact situation was, but I can attest as someone who was there that the emergency situation was dealt with very promptly along with great composure by the church staff that responded and the congregants who all remained calm and seated with the exception of those that got up to clear a path for when the paramedics arrived. Though there was an emergency unfolding before our very eyes, we were held steady in prayer and by the ever gentle yet firm hand of the Holy Spirit. Praise God the paramedics showed up quickly and an update that the woman was in stable condition was provided. I don't know who she was or how she's doing now, but things were looking quite hopeful when the service was finally dismissed.
*Soli Deo Gloria?* But... Are you sure you're not giving the glory to yourself? *Calvinist* friend, why did God choose you? You are smart, you know well that it wasn’t a draw. Therefore… there is only one logical option left, right? And your heart knows it very well. God must have seen something special in you. But there is a BIG problem with that “god” of yours: It’s *UNBIBLICAL.* We know that God doesn’t have favorites. He is no respecter of persons. (Romans 2:11). Therefore, it is *impossible* that God chose you because of something in you. You are not worth a cent more than anyone else. The only reason He did, it's because He knew your response to his call. (Romans 8:29). "... Many are called, but few *chosen.* " (Matthew 20:16) How terrible is that you don't care distorting God's character just so you can feel “special”, better than others, chosen! Because… let's be reasonable, a “god” who, being able to choose, chose the vast majority of human beings to be destroyed in hell, without any option for salvation, is not loving, merciful, or good*. He is not the God of the Bible. Therefore, let us be *VERY CAREFUL* ,lest while trying to give glory to God, we are found to be liars. “ *For the heart is wicked and deceitful above all things.* ” (Jeremiah 17:9).
