All external, behavioral idols have the same insidious root cause—unbelief, or its synonym, self-reliance. The self-reliant spirit is not trusting God. If you don’t deal with this universal heart problem, you could easily stop one sin while jumping to a different idol. Have you ever played “whack-a-mole” at an amusement center? It’s one of those games where plastic moles randomly pop up while you try to whack them with a rubber mallet before they retreat into their holes. You never know when or where one will pop up. As soon as you knock one down, another one jumps up.

Idol Swapping: I Stopped One Sin and Gained 30 Pounds

For Christians, any discussion about any topic must begin and end with the Bible, because if God is God we cannot afford to deny him the final word. When it comes to topics upon which the prevailing culture diverges from what God says in the Bible, the temptation for Christians is to accommodate its teaching to meet the current mood of the cultural moment, but this is at its heart an attempt to be God instead of him, believing in him when he agrees with us but dismissing him when he doesn’t.

The Bible’s teaching on sexuality is clear - God has designed humans for one of two actions: either a lifelong, covenant-committed relationship between one man and one woman, or faithful celibacy. God calls us, when we commit any sexual desires or behaviors that do not fit into this pattern, to repentance, forgiveness, and the promise of being fulfilled in Jesus’ love for us.

Because all humans are sinful all humans struggle against this command, but whether the sinfulness we struggle against is opposite-attracted desires and actions or same-sex desires and actions, the promise of the Gospel that there is no sin the blood of Jesus cannot cover holds true!

Shine Brighter – Philippians 2:14-18

The Last Supper, told to us in Luke 22:14-23, teaches us that Jesus is our only hope, our wisdom, our sacrifice, our substitute, our atonement. When we take the Lord's Supper, we remember Jesus. The Lord's Supper is a spiritual discipline for followers of Jesus that ingrains in us his humility and his sufficiency for us for every day of our lives. Jesus, we remember you!

Message:  Truly Knowing Christ 
Scripture – Philippians 3:9-11
1.	Past - Justification (v9)
a.	Not own Merit
b.	Not by the Law
2.	Future - Glorification (v11)
3.	Present - Sanctification (v10)
Supplemental Scriptures:  Matthew 13:44-46, John 17:2-3, Romans 8:9, 29-30, 1 Corinthians 15: 35-53, 2 Corinthians 4:6, Philippians 3:7-8, Revelation 21:1-3, 22:4.

Truly Knowing Christ – Philippians 3:9-11

In Luke 23:13-31, we read of the innocence of Jesus as declared by Pilate. We read of his substitution for guilty Barabbas who goes free. We read of the self-denial of Jesus receiving such unjust brutality he cannot carry the crossbeam of his cross. And yet, we find him giving a Jonah-like invitation, loving the mob who hated him. In 2Corinthians 5:14-21, Paul explains the impact of the suffering of Christ: justification and substitution result in total reconciliation with God for those who believe in Jesus!

Diacre Alain Matagne - Le manteau de l'obéissance

Good fruit is the sign of a real Christian. Everyone and everything, especially pastors and leaders, should be evaluated on the basis of fruit. In fact, Jesus says the only way to understand a tree (or a person) is by its fruit.

Sin is inconsistent with a Christian life—it is not natural fruit for a Christian tree.

 March 12, 1989

Remedy City Church exists to take the remedy of Jesus Christ to the needs of Muncie, Indiana, and beyond. We are called to care about our church community (to help one another move from where we are to where God wants us to be), about our communication of Christ (to tell good news to church and city, Christian or not), and about our city (to show how God’s forgiveness radically changes a person from the inside out).
