HYMN TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY (GHS 189)
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189] 1. Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord; Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word; Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak. Forgetting in nothing, His blessing to seek.
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189] 2. Take time to be holy, the world rushes on; Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone- By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be; Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189] 3. Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide; And run not before Him, whatever betide; In joy or in sorrow still follow thy Lord, And, looking to Jesus, still trust in His word.
TAKE TIME TO BE HOLY[GHS 189] 4. Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul; Each thought and each temper beneath His control: Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love, Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above. END OF HYMN
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES LESSON 661: HOLINESS WITH HOSPITALITY
LESSON 661: HOLINESS WITH HOSPITALITY • MEMORY VERSE: “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently” – 1 Peter 1:22 • TEXT:LUKE 10:30-37
SUMMARY (1) • Our last study focused on Paul’s sufferings and faithfulness in ministry: • God’s presence and power enable the gospel ministry and ministers. • Wrongdoing in ministers or members hinder the gospel; godly living supports it. • Challenges are part of our calling: we must persevere in them. • Members and ministers should relate freely with an open heart. • Members should care for their ministers in prayer, giving and obedience. • The study of today touches on four points: • True Christianity and the atmosphere of love. • The condemnable attributes of the priest and the Levite. • The commendable attitude of the Samaritan. • The convincing application by the Lord.
SUMMARY (2) • True Christianity and the atmosphere of love (Luke 10:37; Rom. 13:8-10): • Every human needy person deserves our help; we must respond in love. • We should especially care for believers in the household of faith – the Church. • The condemnable attributes of the priest and the Levite (Luke 10:31,32): • Workers and leaders should show example in care; that is their calling! • We should not let ‘ministerial duty’ stop our caring: care is our core duty! • The commendable attitude of the Samaritan(Luke 10:33-35; I John 3:16): • Beyond what people call us, our actions will show what or who we really are. • We should not give excuses but heal the wounded by our words and actions. • The convincing application by the Lord (Luke 10:36,37; Gal. 6:2,10): • The true neighbour is one who helps the needy: Evangelise and care! • Holiness and hospitality must go together: “Go and do likewise”.
QUESTION 1 What is the nature of true holiness? • Luke 10:27 • Deut 10:12 • 1 Kings 8:61
QUESTION 2 Who is your neighbour? • Luke 10:35-37 • Romans 13:8-10 • Galatians 6:9,10 • 1 John 3:16
QUESTION 3 Why couldn’t the Levite and the priest stop by to help the victim of the robbers? • Luke 10:31,32 • Matthew 9:13 • Proverbs 21:3
QUESTION 4 What lesson can we learn from the action of the “Good Samaritan”? • Luke 10:33-35 • Matthew 9:36 • 1 Peter 1:22 • 1 John 3:16
QUESTION 5 How can we demonstrate holiness with hospitality? • Luke 10:36,37 • John 21:1-3,16 • John 13:14 • Galatians 6:2,10
CONCLUSION • Believers should care for all, especially care for believers in the household of faith. • We cannot shun care because of duty: care is our duty! • Our care must be balanced: we feed the spiritually hungry with the Word of life and care for the physically needy. • The Samaritan was moved with compassion: love is active. • If we won’t see the Lord without holiness, we will not even get near the pearly gate without hospitality.
