Sunday Service Speaker: Rev. Annette King-El
SCRIPTURE
Mark 12:3 “And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed”
Luke 6:31 “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
PRINCIPLE:
Mark 12:3 God commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to treat others the way we would like to be treated. (Luke 6:31)
1. Grace as right action of God as a universal Presence: Omnipresence of God
– (Psalm 139:7-8) “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your
presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; If I make my bed in the depths, you
are there.” God is the everywhere evenly-present Spirit of absolute good.
– The Divinity of Humankind: Humankind is made in the image and likeness of God.
Spiritual Man (Genesis 1:26) “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our
likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the
livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the
ground.’”
– Manifest man (Genesis 2:7) “Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living
being.” (Humankind is made in the image and likeness of God.)
2. God as the Power of Thought, thinking and feeling: The Value and Power of Thought
– (Proverbs 23:7) “For he is the kind of person who is always thinking about the cost.”
“Eat and drink! he says to you, but his heart is not with you.” It is through thinking that humankind creates our life experiences.
3. Grace as Living in the Presence of God: Practicing the Presence
– (Philippians 4:8) “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Abiding in God’s
presence through the spiritual disciplines of prayer, meditation and silence.
4. Grace as a demonstration of God right reaction: Law of Demonstration
– (Luke 12:32) “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give
you the kingdom.” The results which naturally flow from the practice of the principles
noted above.
