证道: Pastor Bill Gasser (Candidating for the Interim Senior Pastor position in GBC)

題目:Straw, Sticks, and Bricks

读经:1 Corinthians 3:6-15歌林多前书3:6-15

1 Corinthians 3:6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.

7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.

9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.

11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,

13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.

14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.

15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

歌林多前3:6 我栽种了、亚波罗浇灌了.惟有 神叫他生长。

3:7 可见栽种的算不得甚么、浇灌的也算不得甚么.只在那叫他生长的 神。
3:8 栽种的和浇灌的都是一样.但将来各人要照自己的工夫、得自己的赏赐。
3:9 因为我们是与 神同工的.你们是 神所耕种的田地、所建造的房屋。

3:10 我照 神所给我的恩、好像一个聪明的工头、立好了根基、有别人在上面建造.只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造。

3:11 因为那已经立好的根基、就是耶稣基督、此外没有人能立别的根基。

3:12 若有人用金、银、宝石、草木、禾楷、在这根基上建造.

3:13 各人的工程必然显露.因为那日子要将他表明出来、有火发现.这火要试验各人的工程怎样。

3:14 人在那根基上所建造的工程、若存得住、他就要得赏赐。

3:15 人的工程若被烧了、他就要受亏损.自己却要得救.虽然得救乃像从火里经过的一样。


Message:
What does the Lord expect from us? Paul, the wise builder, describes three standards for the church:

1. Remember who’s Boss (Head) - Jesus (1 Corinthians 3:6-9)

- People work, but God gives the increase

- God’s plan uses different people, but always has the same purpose

2. Follow the blueprint – the Bible (1 Corinthians 3:10-12)

The Lord’s building plan: Starts with Grace; Rests on the Right Foundation – Jesus Christ; and Uses Quality Materials (Scripture is the measure)

3. Get ready for inspection –Jesus is the Inspector (1 Corinthians 3:13-15)

Inspection time is coming, and actually already started.

Let’s do it His way!
