Teach and admonish One Another.
Good morning,
Its great to have you with us today, and thanks to those who join us online.
either live or one day in the future.
I remember the days when Pastor Stan had a cassette tape duplicator.
we would record the sermons to a cassettee tape and then use a Hi speed duplicator to mass produce them.
We had a substanital part of the foyer dedicated to stacks of sermon tapes.
going back years.
Now we have 8 years of sermons sitting on Youtube with 10 of 1000s of views
Now with an effort to advance Virtual reality i wondering ho long until we start streaming in VR?
but none of that matters unless we truely understand what it means to be a community.
I’m not just talking about listening to the same sermon or being part of the same worship service.
I’m talking about being the Kingdom community God is calling us too.
And to do this well, its imperitive we learn the “one anothers” of scripture.
And that’s what this extended series entitled stronger together is al about.
In order to prepare for the greatest move of God on the earth, by the way its already started in parts of the world.
we have to be willing to foster a community in which we can support and encourage those who are new to the faith.
as well as each other.
Today were dealing with the “One another” of Teaching and admonishing one another
our text for today is Rom 15
Let’s pray
Today, we are going to examine what it means to admonish one another.
Generally speaking, we are getting admonished or admonishing all the time.
Parents admonish their children when they do something wrong.
Your boss admonishes you when he or she wants you to improve something.
Coaches admonish their players every day in practice.
Our world is full of admonishing.
This is not something new, nor is it something only Christians do.
Now i understand most people do not enjoy being admonished.
we generally don’t like being told what to do.
Its pride thing!
And truthfully there are many religious people who admonish with a wrong motivation.
but that doesn’t mean we should not admonish one another.
After all we are told several times in scripture to do so.
def: What it means is to advise or urge someone earnestly.
warn or reprimand someone.
The problems in the current church culture is if someone warns another person about something they are doing or about to do
often the reciprient puts up their defenses and utter the words “stop judging me”
The point of this passage is not to reject judgement, but rather to judge correctly
mainly not as a hypocite.
when you judge someone you open youself up to that same judgement
so make sure you are under the blood.
because that’s our only defence against the judgement of God
The problem is admonishing and judgement are 2 different things
The point of admonishing is to correct and restore to godly thinking and conduct, not to drive one away or break fellowship.
No matter what the intent, many who are being admonished will experience it as judgment and be offended, even when it is coming from a brother or sister in Christ who loves them.
The truth is we are called to admonish one another, but it needs to be carried out in the context of Biblical wisdom and relationship.
We are not to judge those outside the church for they have a different master
However we are not to accept sinful behaviour within the Church perpetrated by those who claim to be beleivers.
Christian admonishing is for the purpose to help you grow spiritually, becoming more like Christ and becoming a healthy believer.
When it comes to admonishing in the Bible, you find three main areas of admonishing.
1) The first area is theologically.
This is what people believe.
When you became a follower of Jesus, there were things that you believed about Jesus, God, yourself, the devil, marriage, money, heaven, and hell that were wrong.
That bad theology needs to be corrected.
When another believer warns you about a wrong or strange belief you have they are admonishing you.
2) The second area is emotionally.
This is how people feel.
There are times you become angry, but you shouldn’t be.
There are times when you become afraid and there is no need to be.
The Bible has a lot to say about not being angry, jealous, bitter, worried, fearful, or bitter.
There will be times we need to admonished regarding our emotions.
3) A third area regarding admonishing is our behavior.
This deals with what people do.
Here is where we are admonished to not steal, not lie, not cheat, and not deceive.
It’s the does and don’ts of the Bible.
What are some things you need to know when it comes to admonishing one another?
Admonishing one another involves counseling
First, admonishing one another involves counseling.
Let’s start with Romans 15:14
(noutheteo), it means to counsel, advise, steer, direct, warn, and encourage.
It is a comprehensive term for counseling.
To catch the meaning of this word different Bible translations will use words like counsel, teach, and instruct.
Admonishing someone is not casual conversation.
It implies a definite correction of some type.
Let me give you three quick observations from Romans 15.
1) Every believer has the responsibility to admonish.
The phrase “one another” means me admonishing you and you admonishing me.
There are people in your life that you are the right person to give them good advice, direct them in the right direction, or warn them about something or someone harmful in their life.
But now listen, there are also people in your life who are the right people to advise you, to warn you, and to direct you in the right direction.
2. Admonishing requires character.
Paul tells the believers in Romans 15 he is convinced they are able to admonish each other because they are
“full of goodness.”
This means they had high moral character, they hated evil and loved righteousness.
True “goodness” is a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit was at work in their lives and one of the evidence was they were “full of goodness.”
This also means they produced good works (Eph.
2:10).
They did good things.
They were kind, helpful, generous, and were blessing among people for God’s glory.
Because of them being “full of goodness” they were able to admonish others successfully.
3. Admonishing requires knowledge.
Paul also tells the believers in Romans 15 he is convinced they are able to admonish each other because they are
“filled with knowledge.”
This is not referring to general human knowledge but of the deep “knowledge” of God’s truth.
They were doctrinally sound.
They had a good theology.
They had a good and solid understanding of what the Bible says.
When you admonish someone correctly it requires both of those to do it successfully.
A good character and Biblically solid mind.
Admonishing one another involves compassion
