Truth

What this talk is about

The truth is one of the great keys to the kingdom of God. Without the truth, you have only lies. The pursuit of God’s truth should be at the heart of all churches, and especially the house church because house churches have typically left the mainstream churches because they could not find the truth.

There are a few fundamentals. Jesus is the truth. The truth will set you free. The Bible is God’s word of truth given so we may learn. And the Spirit will use the truth as a sword, when we arm him with it.

God's truth is powerful and the truth will make you free.
God’s truth is powerful and the truth will make you free.

23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

8. Operation of Spiritual Gifts.

27 If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three, and each in turn; and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silence in church and speak to himself and to God. 29 Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. (1 Corinthians 14:27-29)

9. Anointing with oil for the sick

13 Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
