The Lord`s House Is A Good Place To Be

LUKE 13: 10-17

10.AND HE WAS TEACHING IN ONE OF THE SYNAGOGUES ON THE SABBATH

11.AND BEHOLD ,THERE WAS A WOMAN WHICH HAD A SPIRIT OF IMFIRMITY

EIGHTEEN YEARS ,AND WAS BOWED TOGETHER ,AND COULD IN NO WISE LIFT UP

HERSELF

12.AND WHEN JESUS SAW HER ,HE CALLED HER TO HIM, AND SAID UNTO HER

,WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED ,FROM THINE IMFIRMITY

13. AND HE LAID HIS HAND ON HER ;AND IMMEDIATELY SHE WAS MADE

STRAIGHT , AND GLORIFIED GOD

14.AND THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE ANSWERED WITH INDIGNATION ,

BECAUSE THAT JESUS HAD HEALED ON THE SABBATH DAY,AND SAID UNTO THE

PEOPLE,THERE ARE SIX DAYS IN WHICH MEN OUGHT TO WORK ; IN THEM COME

THEREFORE AND BE HEALED ,AND NOT ON THE SABBATH DAY.

15.THE LORD THEN ANSWERED HIM,AND SAID THOU HYPOCRITE,DOTH NOT

EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE SABBATH LOOSE HIS OX OR HIS ASS FROM THE

STALL,AND LEAD IT TO WATERING

16.AND OUGHT NOT THIS WOMAN,BEING A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM WHOM

SATAN HATH BOUND,LO THESE EIGHTEEN YEARS ,BE LOOSED FROM THIS BOND

ON THE SABBATH DAY

17.AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS ALL ADVERSARIES WE`RE ASHAMED;

AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED FOR ALL THE GLORIOUS THINGS THAT WE`RE

DONE BY HIM

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD

VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT

THE LORD`S HOUSE IS A GOOD PLACE TO BE

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

EVERYWHERE THAT JESUS WENT IN HIS 3 AND A HALF YEARS OF

PUBLIC MINISTRY

HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO DRAW ATTENTION

FOR PEOPLE WE`RE CONSTANLY SCRUTINIZING HIS TEACHING

EVALUATING HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

AS WELL AMAZED AT HIS MIRACLES

AND YOU DO KNOW THAT JESUS IS A MIRACLE WORKER AND HE STILL WORKING MIRACLES TODAY

NOW THIS INCIDENT IN THE TEXT TOOK PLACE AS JESUS WAS TEACHING IN THE SYNAGOGUE

AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE BODY OF ELDERS MOVED WITH INDIGNATION BECAUSE JESUS HAD HEALED ON THE

SABBATH DAY

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE MOSAIC LAW DID NOT FORBID HEALING ON THE SABBATH DAY

BUT IT WAS THE TRADTION OF THE BODY OF ELDERS THAT DID

BUT IF YOU KNOW THE LORD –I SAY IF YOU KNOW THE LORD

YOU KNOW THE LORD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO ABOLISH THE SABBATH DAY

FOR WHEN YOU GO TO THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOK OF EXODUS 20:8

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY

NOW IT`S A LOT OF THINGS WE NOW ADAYS THAT WE USED NOT DO ON THE LORDS DAY

I REMEMBER AS A LITTLE BOY HOW THE OLD SAINTS WHO`S GONE ON TO GLORY

HOW THEY USE TO COOK ON SATURDAY BECAUSE THEY DID`NT BELIEVE IN COOKING ON SUNDAY

I REMEMBER GRANDMA WHITE USE TO WASH AND CLEAN HOUSE ON SATURDAY BECAUSE SHE DID`NT BELIEVE IN

WASHING AND CLEANING HOUSE ON SUNDAY

I REMEMBER THAT BOLES AND SAFEWAY USED TO BE CLOSE ON THE LORD`S DAY

BUT WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE EVERYTHING IS OPEN ON THE LORD`S DAY

BUT IF YOU KNOW THE LORD –I SAY IF YOU REALLY KNOW THE LORD

YOU KNOW THE LORD WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO TAKE AWAY FORM HIS SCAREDNESS OF DIVINE OBLIGATION

WELL THE 1ST THING WE WILL NOTICE ABOUT THIS WOMAN IN THE TEXT IS THAT

SHE DID`NT LET HER CONDITION KEEP HER FROM COMING TO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY

EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BENT OVER AND HAD BEEN THIS WAY FOR 18 YEARS -SHE COULD STILL BE FOUND IN THE

SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY

AND WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE PEOPLE ARE MAKING ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES TO KEEP FROM

COMING TO THE LORD`S HOUSE

HEADACHE

HOUSE IS DIRTY

BUT THE LORD`S HOUSE IS A GOOD PLACE TO BE

FOR THERE IS NO OTHER INSTITUTION IN THE WORLD THAT CAN BE COMPARED TO THE CHURCH

FOR NOTHING ELSE HAS GONE THROUGH

INVESTAGATION –EVALUATION –OBSERVATION AND TRIBULATION AND STILL EXIST

YOU SEE OTTIS SHELTON HAS COME AND GONE –BUT THE CHURCH STILL LIVES ON

GENEVA DRIVE IN HAS COME AND GONE BUT THE CHURCH STILL LIVES ON

FOR THE CHURCH IS A BODY OF BAPTIZE BELIEVERS THAT GOD HAS CALL OUT OF THE DARKNESS INTO THE

MARVELOUS LIGHT

AND GOD HAS A MESSAGE THAT HE WANTS A DYING WORLD TO HEAR

A MESSAGE OF LOVE

A MESSAGE OF HOPE

A MESSAGE OF FORGIVENESS

A MESSAGE OF JUDGEMENT

THAT HE WANT A DYING WORLD TO HEAR AND IT`S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHURCH TO PROCLAIM THAT

MESSAGE.

SHE RECEIVE HER BLESSING

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS WAS TEACHING IN THE SYNAGOGUE AND HE SAW

THIS WOMAN AND HER CONDITION

NOTICE –NOTICE –NOTICE

SHE DID`NT RECEIVE HER BLESSING BECAUSE OF THER CLOTHE SHE HAD ON

SHE DID`NT RECEIVE HER BLESSING BECAUSE SHE WE`RE A MEMBER OF THE
