Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "Momma's Train" Proverbs 22:6,Proverbs 1:8-9

Pro 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

• Train up means to narrow (discipline) as an instructor that they may miss the snares of sin and be prepared for the purpose that God has for them.
• Train them as soldiers who through discipline are taught to handle their weapons, keep rank, and observe the word of command.
• Train them up not in the way they would go but in the way they should go!
• Those who have been trained cannot escape the implanted seed of truth even in their old age. In fact your training may be exactly what God uses to recall the wayward child, when he is old.

Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

Proverbs 1:9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Momma you have a great calling on your life – the mission is almost overwhelming but it is of the highest importance. Train up your children!!!

Mom is MIA (missing in action) today in too many homes. Nothing that you feel you must do is more important than Momma’s train.

All that our children have to draw on may be what they have been disciplined in by Momma’s train.

I am asking you to consider doing something that would have never crossed your mind before you came to church today. Forsake whatever has derailed the Momma Train and get back on track. God will help you do it and the benefits cannot be compared.

May our moms be Godly women of character.

I thought you’d like to know,

Bro Buddy

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Gospel Of Christ" Romans 1:7-17

Rom 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rom 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Rom 1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Rom 1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Rom 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

Rom 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Paul sets forth that he wants to come to Rome so that he and they may be mutually encouraged in the faith.

Not ashamed is actually not a double negative but a resounding boast in the Gospel of Christ. (like he’s not bad at all, meaning he’s really good) The Gospel of Christ is dubbed as the power of God. The conduit of salvation. To every one that believes.

The Gospel of Christ is the way to the righteousness that is only of God by faith to faith. That is faith in conception to faith in practice. The just or justified shall live because of faith. But not just faith but faith in the Christ. The Gospel (good news) is essentially common with the live, death and resurrection of Jesus. Some one once said, “It’s not just faith but faith in Christ Jesus. It’s like saying, a man lives by swallowing.” Believing faith will produce living faith (see James 2)

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "A Still Small Voice" 1Kings 19:9-12

Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Jud 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is common as to the same for all men everywhere. Not common as if not valuable.

Prod you to earnestly contend for the faith in its undefiled form.

Earnestly = passionately

Contend = wrestle or fight

Faith = system of belief

The attack of the enemy includes infiltration of the camp of the Lord.

Of Old Ordained to this Condemnation = like special forces, stealthy and highly trained to blend in for the purpose of deception and delusion.

Ungodly men are the great enemies of the faith of Christ and the peace of the church. Those who deny or corrupt the one, and disturb the other, are here expressly identified as ungodly men.

They don’t actually change God’s Grace but the perception of His Grace turning it into sinful abuse of His Grace. They use God for their own gain. This abandonment of the purity of God’s Grace is out right denial of the church and our Savior.

How do we contend?

We preserve the Truth at all costs.

No man, group or teacher’s opinion can ever take precedence over the truth.

Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Blood" 1Peter 1:18-19, Hebrews 9:22, Romans 6:23, Leviticus 17:11

Why blood?

Because w/o the shedding of blood there is no remission. (Hebrews 9:22)

The shedding of blood shows the grievousness of our sin toward God. The wages of sin of is death (Romans 6:23)

And the life is in the blood. (Leviticus 17:11)

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

But the blood of innocent animals could never pay for a man’s sin. (Hebrews 10:4)

We needed a better sacrifice, a holy and willing sacrifice. God’s blood!

1Peter1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

1Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

So now you know that He had to come and to die, if we were to have any hope of forgiveness for our sin. It could not have been anyone else.

Remember sin cannot be forgiven, it must be paid for. Sinners are forgiven.

Sinners are forgiven when they receive the free gift of atonement offered to whosoever will.

No matter who you are, (and you are a sinner – make no mistake about that) if you reject this payment of the lifeblood of Jesus for your sin then you must die for your own sin and His blood was shed in vain for you.

For those of us who trust in His blood, we are eternally secure. The blood will never fail. Fear not for: Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "Concerning Jesus" Romans1:1-6, 2Timothy2:6

The Epistle to the Romans was written by Paul to the church that was at Rome, mix with Jews and gentiles but probably largely lead by Jews.

The purpose is to establish the truths of the Faith.

Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Rom 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

Paul first declares himself a servant of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter the what the work may be, Paul is a servant and he will obey. Act 9:6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

2^nd Paul defines himself as called and sent. Apostle. (one sent) Act 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

3^rd Paul dedicates himself to the message of the Gospel. Act 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

The link to the new message was the old prophets. Same Messiah.

The message is not a new doctrine to rival the old but a deliverer to free us from the old. The Gospel (good news) is concerning Jesus Christ come in the flesh. Gospel = (birth, life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ).

The crowning evidence that Jesus is the Christ is the resurrection from the dead.

Through Jesus we have received grace (God’s favor – undeserved) and a calling. You cannot be an effective witness unless you have first received. 2Ti 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Called to obey only. No restrictions of race or creed. Of all nations.

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "Born Again" John3:7-18

Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Joh 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Joh 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Joh 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Joh 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Born Again, What is it? How do we get born again? Accept Jesus? How? These scriptures say to believe.. What is meant by believe? The Devils believe and tremble. Believe = entrust, to place trust in.

When we trust in Jesus, we are placing confidence in God. The Word was God and became flesh. When He cried “it is finished”. There is nothing else that can be done but to trust in Him.

Pastor Richard "Buddy" Wimberly "The Word Was God" John 1:1-3,14, Colossians 1:26-28

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Word = Logos = Word thought & Word uttered. (In the beginning) Before the world was made, there was only God’s will (His intelligence) and His Creativeness (His utterance) and God, nothing or no one else. All of creation is a product of God’s Word alone…. His thought and His utterance (and God said “Let there be…”)

The things that exist are not made of the things that do appear, (Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.) they are created by God’s Word alone, not by space debris or chemical elements. There were no elements … Only God and His Word.

The Same Word = Consistent = He’s always been there. He will always be there. He always loves me. He manifested His Word to us through His Son Jesus Christ (the Word became flesh). Jesus came to show us the Father. The Word was made flesh and dwelt (lived or resided) among us.

God’s Word in thought, God’s Word in Utterance and God’s Word in the Flesh are consistent, the same in the same. God needs no one or nothing from anyone but self-sufficiently (out of nothing) makes us into His image.

It is God in you the hope of glory!!!!

Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Col 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

It is God in you the hope of glory!!!!
