Rebuke Them! | Acts 13

- Pastor John teaches us today from Acts 13 that harsh truths are necessary components of a God-purposed life. Contrary to the false universal worldview where Jesus is always so loving and kind, the Scriptures reveal some unpopular characteristics of our truth-filled and wrathful Jesus. The repentance of sin is always the first step toward the loving kindness of Jesus - and the world continuously attempts to side-step this unkind truth.

Love rejoices in the truth. Without truth, there is no love... Truth must be wielded with care in the interest of repentance in the listener...
Praise GOD for HIS Word spoken in love and truth.
Thank you John lovell sin needs to be confronted and it brings you closer to the word of God it needs to be pressed in the heart
I needed this. I'm a youth minister and trying to embolden my youth and make sure I am always leading from the front. This was an encouragement.
Praise God for that! Encourage them to speak the hard truths amongst their generation. ❤
Truths 🙏🏼🙌🏼 christians get this idea that we’re supposed to be some sort of cotton candy, rainbows, hugs like we’re supposed to be a salesman trying to draw people in, or manipulate them into being saved. John is right, we’re supposed to speak the truth in love, and that’s not always cotton candy and rainbows. Sometimes it is a steadfast rebuking of evil.
❤😂😂😂
I like how John prays. He's just kind of talking instead of sounding like it's a concluding step of the process. You don't hear that to often.
Outstanding message, I lost best friend of over 30 years and a daughter over this past weekend because of standing on word of God. Thank you for the message
I have found these to be blessings for my boys. They love the other content WPS makes. They need to see other strong men of faith. Bless you and your ministry
Great message
Solid 💪 Amen
I listen to your messages in the morning before work. I plan to come see you live in a few months.
Same.
I save them for work or before work on my commute.
My first trip to the US will be to one of his sermons.
Wonderful words of God. Challenging in our modern era and yet, needed more than ever.
True ! true ! Thank you !🙏
Great message! Looking forward to more awesome stuff from you John!
I wish you had not felt so rushed! I would have loved to listen to this all day. Bless you and thank you!!!
🤜🤛I am so proud of you John.
This was very helpful and practical. Good for the situation I’m currently in with my family.
All Glory to GOD ALMIGHTY! Praised Be YOU KING JESUS... Hallelujah! Peace and Blessings.
Thank you Warrior Poet. This message spoke to my heart to fix a specific relationship.
I recently started going to a church close to home, and it still does not get closer than when I'm waiting on Tuesday/wensday for this to drop.
Good stuff ✝️🔥
You preached what we needed to hear God bless you and your family
Thanks pastor John great message!
I’m glad you addressed that ad. I was thinking the same thing. ✝️✝️✝️
I've been in prayer over the gifts of The Spirit and what I keep hearing is that God want to raise prophets to speak for Him, to speak the truth that will bring people into His kingdom. This was an awesome message that prayerfully will bring people to want to relay what he has on his heart for His people.
Thank you for the Word.
John, I've never met you and love ya!
❤❤🎉
Great message as always!
It's fun to see how God is using you since you preached at SMN, Excellent message. Keep uthe great work!
@JohnLovell if you ever come to Las Vegas NV, let me know so I can come and worship our Lord God Jesus with you
37:30 John is talking about Matt 18 dealing with an unrepentant professing brother and treating them as an unbeliever. Most pastors get this wrong if they say we are to shun them or ignore them.... gaslight them. Unbelievers need the love of the body and the gospel. Nowhere in Scripture do we see Jesus shunning unbelievers and tax collectors. Instead, we see Jesus eating with and ministering to un believers and tax collectors. I someone doesn't understand the gospel and thinks they are a Christian and goes through church discipline... are we to shun them and almost insure they go to hell? Or, do we recognize as a church body that this brother doesn't exhibit the true signs of a believer through repentance, and we should evangelize him?... because he obviously misunderstands the gospel or has a mental disconnect somewhere preventing a heart changing relationship with Jesus Christ. Loving the unrepentant brother (but not condoning their sin) takes form after church discipline by notifying the church that this brother is unrepentant and the body should love and evangelize them as if they were never saved... not shun them or forbid their attendance. Removing leadership authority in the church from such a person should be considered and voting privileges as well. Many churches haven't even thought about this, so i use the word "considered" because you have to think about it and formulate your plan from scripture if you haven't already. Gentleness and love is the oil that makes everything work in a God honoring way.
Uh 2+2=Jebus. Sending prayers and gentiles.
John, do we speak the hard truth about our kids animals going to heaven? Just curious of your thoughts on that. Or do u honestly think they do
Genesis says animals have souls . Not souls like human souls made in God's image but souls still. So perhaps they go to heaven perhaps they don't. Revelation tells how the 4 horsemen come on horses and so does Jesus when he returns. So we k ow there are horses up there. Who knows. We'll find out when we get there. But I think they do go to heaven in some way.
Have a Blessed Day
