Overview

Pastor Randy Skeete elaborates on the constancy of God's truth which stands steadfast with Him. He points out that as long as God has existed, truth has as well. This truth is the bedrock of Christian faith and living, offering a stable foundation amid changing human perspectives and opinions.

During the sermon, Pastor Skeete underlines that sincerity, while important, is not sufficient for salvation. It must be accompanied by the truth of God's word. He stresses that many live with sincere intentions but are mistaken due to a lack of alignment with divine truth. Thus, a partial understanding of scripture or a life guided by sincere error cannot lead to salvation.

The sermon further drives home the importance of living a life pleasing to God. Pastor Skeete points out that doing good requires God's power; human strength alone leads to sin. The contrast between good and evil is stark, with significant eternal implications. Aligning actions with God's word ensures not only personal sanctification but also brings blessings to future generations.

Chapters

• 00:00 - 01:30: Introduction and Praise The chapter is a spiritual exhortation encouraging all nations and people to praise the Lord. It emphasizes the greatness of God's merciful kindness and the enduring truth of the Lord. The chapter concludes by affirming that God is inherently good, with everlasting mercy and truth that lasts forever.
• 01:30 - 03:00: Sanctification and Truth The chapter 'Sanctification and Truth' emphasizes the eternal nature of truth as it is inherently linked with God. It underscores that truth has always existed as long as God has existed, continues to exist, and will perpetually exist because God embodies truth. The chapter also makes a future prediction that one day, error will cease to exist, implying a world where truth, synonymous with God, will prevail absolutely.
• 03:00 - 05:00: Sincerity and Error This chapter discusses the theme of 'Sincerity and Error,' emphasizing the importance of truth. The text begins by referencing Jesus's prayer in John 17:17, highlighting the notion that one should be sanctified through truth, reflecting that God's word is truth. It also points out that sincerity alone is insufficient; one must possess truth in their beliefs and actions.
• 05:00 - 08:00: Welcoming Newcomers In 'Welcoming Newcomers,' the focus is on the concept that sincerity alone is insufficient. The teachings from John 16:1-2 are referenced, where it is predicted that some will believe they are doing God's work by harming others. The essential idea presented is that truth must accompany sincerity for true sanctification, as error cannot lead to sanctification regardless of personal growth.
• 08:00 - 10:30: Subject Introduction: What Are You Doing? The chapter opens with a discussion about the contrasts presented in the Bible, focusing on the idea that it deals with opposites. It argues that if something does not sanctify, it contaminates, presenting dichotomies such as sheep or goat, wheat or tears, being for or against Christ, and being saved or lost, leading to either Heaven or Hell. The ultimate message centers on the binary nature of sanctification or contamination.
• 10:30 - 14:30: Message from Pastor The pastor reflects on the privilege and blessing of being able to worship God publicly, noting that in many places, such freedom is not available. He encourages attendees to seize the opportunity to come to the house of God in person rather than solely relying on online services. He also makes a welcoming gesture by asking if there are any new attendees present in the service for the first time.
• 14:30 - 17:30: Doing Good vs. Evil The chapter, titled 'Doing Good vs. Evil,' opens with a conversation about names, highlighting the significance and positivity of the name 'Lily.' It references a biblical verse from Songs of Solomon (Chapter 2, Verse 1), where God describes himself using the imagery of a rose and a lily, conveying themes of beauty and divinity. The conversation further includes a blessing for someone's life, tying back to the themes of goodness. There is also a brief interaction about being invited by someone referred to as Dr. Coro and a mention of someone raising their hand, indicating a setting that might involve a discussion or meeting.
• 17:30 - 21:30: The Role of Divine Power This chapter appears to be a dialogue involving a speaker who acknowledges a woman named Mary, identifying her with Mary, the mother of Jesus. The speaker welcomes Mary and inquires about her origins, showing interest in her background and affiliations. There seems to be a connection to the fighting Ali, though the excerpt is brief and lacks context to fully explain this relationship. Overall, the chapter introduces a blend of personal greeting and hints of a larger narrative involving divine figures.
• 21:30 - 26:00: Learn to Do Well The chapter titled 'Learn to Do Well' features a conversation where two women named Mary are introduced. One of them is referred to as 'Sister Mary number two'. The conversation highlights a biblical reference about two witnesses establishing a word. Another woman named Vanessa also joins the interaction, representing a location called W Kean. This section appears to focus on introducing these characters and noting their shared backgrounds or connections.
• 26:00 - 33:00: Repentance and Confession The chapter opens with a gathering of distinguished citizens from Wan. The narrator acknowledges and thanks the attendees, mentioning a few by name: Mary, Mary, Vanessa, and Lily. Another person named Walga is introduced, who is presumably from Illinois, based on a brief conversation about the origin of their name.
• 33:00 - 47:00: Final Message and Prayer The chapter titled 'Final Message and Prayer' highlights the theme of goodness and divine presence in Mova. The speaker emphasizes that Mova is a place filled with many good people and implies that many inhabitants, referred to as 'malians', will be part of the kingdom of God. The speaker wishes blessings on the audience's lives and thanks newcomers for attending. As the session nears its end at 6:40 PM, the speaker announces that the final topic of discussion will be 'What are you doing?' and assures attendees of their release between 7:15 and 7:30 PM.

• 09:30 - 10:00 dear God use me now I pray please and touch the sick place your healing hand upon them in the name of Jesus Christ I pray amen amen let us go to the Book of John chapter 3 we read verses 20 and 21 what's our subject what are you doing what was our subject last night two men and a planet yes what was
• 10:00 - 10:30 our subject the night before the dwelling place of death I won't press you any further Don't Panic All right tonight John chapter 3 we'll read 20 and 21 what version when I you reading from if you have it you may read with me are you there for he that what for everyone that doeth what evil stop
• 10:30 - 11:00 look at verse 21 read the first statement what does that say but he that doeth truth now look at those two statements verse 20 has a word that's also in verse 21 what is that word doeth whether it is sin or it is righteousness it is something that is done there are some Christian who tell you just believe and that's all and you
• 11:00 - 11:30 ski right up the slope to Heaven whether sin or righteousness it is expressed by something done and so the Bible says for everyone that doeth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved but he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are rought in
• 11:30 - 12:00 god let's read those two verses again this time how will we read them microsc read closely for everyone that doeth evil what are the next statements hateth the light now this is the light Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path Psalm 119 verse 105 verse 13 tells us the entrance of
• 12:00 - 12:30 Thy word giveth light God's word is light everyone that doeth evil hateth the light and does not come to the light less his deed should be reproved and so we avoid the Bible sometimes we avoid church we don't want our lifestyle to be rebuked so we avoid but everyone that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest
• 12:30 - 13:00 finish that verse that they are rought in God now sin does not require Divine help doing what's right requires Divine help you may say why do you say that preacher let the Bible tell you why I say that go to Romans 3 we'll read from verse 10 you will remember we read that last night Romans 3 reading from verse
• 13:00 - 13:30 10 when you found it say Amen all right I imagine some of you still looking we have a little time not much do you have Romans 3:1 Now read with me what does that say as it is written there is none good no not one stop there is is none
• 13:30 - 14:00 good go to Luke 18 we just read the words of the Apostle Paul let's listen to Jesus Christ himself Luke 18 we'll read from verse eight from Verse 18 sorry do you have Luke 18 what was Luke's profession he was a medical doctor yes he was also a historian and I'll tell you now without hesitation Luke is is regarded as the finest ancient
• 14:00 - 14:30 historian the finest there was a Bible scholar who set out to prove well a scholar not a b necessarily Bible schol a scholar set out to prove that the gospels were wrong the Bible was wrong and the more he tried the more he realized it is right and then he became converted mm Luke is the finest ancient historian ever lived verse 18 of Luke 18 and a certain ruler
• 14:30 - 15:00 asked him saying what good Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life and Jesus said unto him what why callest thou me good come on none is good save God so Jesus himself agrees with Paul or Paul agrees with Jesus no one is naturally good when someone does something that is good in the eyes of God
• 15:00 - 15:30 that is only possible by the power of God working through that person let me show you some good things that God does not recognize go to Matthew 7 you see there's the worldly View and there's Heaven's view we must live by Heaven's view will somebody say Amen all right okay don't sleep on me now please
• 15:30 - 16:00 Matthew 7 let's read from verse 21 what was Matthew's profession he was a tax collector yeah which means he was a thief but okay let's go but he got converted Matthew 7 reading from verse 21 are you there read with me what does that say not everyone that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven keep going but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven here again we have
• 16:00 - 16:30 doing verse 22 keep reading what does that say many shall say to me in that day Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works now pause I said let's look at some good works God does not recognize Lord Lord have we not prophesied di in thy name and in thy
• 16:30 - 17:00 name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful Works read verse 23 nice and loud what does that say then will I profess unto them what I never knew you go on depart from me ye that work those good works we done many good works cast out Devils prophesied how does Jesus describe them iniquity because they were done without
• 17:00 - 17:30 God's involvement the work that God accepts is the work done by his power there's something called The Eyes Of God and the eyes of the world if someone hits me I must hit back that is looking at it through human eyes Through The Eyes Of God I do not retaliate
• 17:30 - 18:00 too many Christians live their Christian lives through human eyes we must live our lives Through The Eyes Of God someone curses you you bless that person now to do that you need Divine help are you with me someone takes your husband from you and you pray for that person yes you pray both legs are broken that's what you pray for you pray for that an accident on the highway
• 18:00 - 18:30 that's what you pray for but to pray father let the truth reach her heart no you need divine power to do that and so Jesus on the cross feeling the agony of the crucifixion he said father forgive them for they know not what they do Steven while he was being stoned he said Lord lay not this sin to their charge while he was being why he was functioning under the power of God the
• 18:30 - 19:00 good that God recognizes is the good done by the power of God having said that let's go back now to John chapter 3 what's our subject what are you doing mhm and how are you doing it John chapter 3 let's read 20 and 21 again it's a 10 to 7 we are in good time do you have John 3 20 and 21 read with
• 19:00 - 19:30 me what does that say for everyone that doeth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved or condemned or exposed now but he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest finish the verse that they are rought in God M the good he does is done by the power power of
• 19:30 - 20:00 God outside of that God does not accept it we go back to the Rich Young Ruler in Luke 18 what shall I do to inherit eternal life and Jesus said why callest thou me good none is good save one that is God but then Jesus said thou knowest the Commandments thou shall not kill shall Comm a d don't steal don't bear false
• 20:00 - 20:30 witness honor your father and your mother he gave them a sampling of the 10 commant do that but since the 10 commandments are Divine laws no human being can keep a Divine Law Without Divine help you said amen because you're nice but are you following me a Divine Law is the very opposite of the carnal nature we are born with the caral nature a carnal nature cannot keep
• 20:30 - 21:00 a Divine Law in spirit and in word now a carnal person can keep the letter of the law in other words the law says Thou shalt not kill and I can say I have never shot anyone I have never cut off anyone's head so I have never killed but Jesus goes further he says whosoever is angry with his brother is a
• 21:00 - 21:30 murderer the Lord says Thou shalt not commit adultery I can say well have not slept with this person that person so I've never done it the law of God says if you think it you've done it so what doesn't put you in jail on the earth put you in jail are you with me let make it a little more horrible not in jail in heaven on The Gallows because the wages of
• 21:30 - 22:00 sin not imprisonment death listen to me carefully the good God requires of us can only be done by his power but when you come to Christ it is more than just believe you must believe but the genuine belief God requires produces a certain Behavior if you believe that that bench couldn't hold you up that Pew you would
• 22:00 - 22:30 not sit that would be your behavior you sat because you believe it'll keep you up so you set that's your behavior now doing righteousness is doing something evil is doing something we do Evil by our own power we do right by the power of God so right doing is essential what we sometimes forget what is the power that enables me to do good it is the power of
• 22:30 - 23:00 God working in me let us let's go to uh Isaiah chapter 1 Isaiah 1 we look at several texts that stress doing now this doing is not saving yourself you cannot save yourself as long as there's calvary's cross you cannot save yourself but if you say you're child of God you should behave differently you have
• 23:00 - 23:30 Isaiah let's read from 15 God is really condemning his people because of their misbehavior and when ye stretch forth your hands or spread forth your hands I will hide my eyes from you yeah when you make many prayers finish the verse I will not hear your hands are full of blood wash you make you clean put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes finish verse 16 cease to now God is
• 23:30 - 24:00 saying stop it you have to stop it with his power I heard one amen may I have a few more cease to do evil says God now read the first statement in verse 17 learn to do well stop rightdoing must
• 24:00 - 24:30 be learned you don't have to learn to be selfish we're born that way to be generous we have to be taught to be unselfish we have to be taught to be merciful we have to be taught one way or the other either directly or by Christ putting the impulse upon the heart heart of a sinner no sinner can do what's good in
• 24:30 - 25:00 the eyes of God without the power of God and so God says cease to do evil the last statement in verse 16 of Isaiah 1 first statement verse 17 learn to do well if you were to learn to do well you need a textbook you have it in your hand this is the manual for doing what's
• 25:00 - 25:30 right and the example the manual furnishes is the life of Jesus Christ learn to do well cease to do evil what's the opposite of evil good give me a longer word righteousness all thy Commandments are righteousness by the way let me make it more personal look at the last statement in Isaiah
• 25:30 - 26:00 1:16 again read it nice and loud now read it to read it as though you're speaking to you what does it say the last statement in verse 16 cease now here's where you'll stop loving me are you doing something now that's evil don't answer me when I say now I don't mean sitting in a pew in your day-to-day life is there
• 26:00 - 26:30 something wrong you are continuing to do the Bible tells you cease stop there are two ways to stop one is painless one is agonizing the painless way is when you stop yourself the agonizing way tell me is when God stops
• 26:30 - 27:00 you the Bible tells us humble yourself 1 Peter 56 James 4: uh 7 humble yourself because if God humbles you ah you'll cry God does not have a pretty way to stop a sinner and so the verse says to you and to me me cease whatever you're doing
• 27:00 - 27:30 that's wrong you want Revival stop but for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction and so the first statement of verse 17 says what learn to do well in other words when you get the evil out occupy that space with something else do what's right learn because perhaps you don't know what's our subject now I ask you what are you
• 27:30 - 28:00 doing you have two choices verse 20 of John 3 do evil verse 21 do good verse 20 do Evil by your own power and mind verse 21 do what's good by the power of God go to 2 Timothy chapter 3 let's read verse 16 very well-known verse second Timothy Chapter 3 The Apostle Paul writing to a young man called Timothy scholars believe he was a teenager when Paul chose him to lead the church and
• 28:00 - 28:30 I'm saying that because we have this feeling teenagers just play and play video games and skateboard whatever Timothy was a serious young man and Paul saw that and called him to lead a church one the most beautiful things on earth is a serious teenager mhm do you have 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 let let me pray again father as I continue speaking to Those whom you
• 28:30 - 29:00 love continue to give me simple and direct language I pray in Jesus name amen you know this verse well read it with me all scripture is given by inspiration of God now carefully and is profitable for Doctrine for Repro for correction now carefully the last statement for instruction in righteousness you must be
• 29:00 - 29:30 taught you have to be taught the seventh days of Sabbath you have to be taught certain meats are unclean you have to be taught one tenth of your income belongs to God along with an offering we we the B the word of God is our instructor all scripture Genesis Revelation there are some churches that say we are New Testament churches the Bible doesn't say some scripture is
• 29:30 - 30:00 given by inspiration old and new and old and new are profitable for Doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness right doing which means the word has to be studied it is not by the process of osmosis where you put the Bible under your pillow sleep on it and all the Bible truth goes into your
• 30:00 - 30:30 head you have to study so that the word can teach you my brothers and my sisters if you call yourself a child of God there are things God requires you to do but you do them by his power whatever Christ did he did by the power of the father and I told you that
• 30:30 - 31:00 I think it was last night whatever you and I do must be done by the power of Christ listen to uh 1 John 1:9 you know it very well if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness a lot of Christians don't believe that and so they walk around with the burden of guilt even though they say I'm sorry because they think I have lived such a bad life God cannot forgive me you're calling God a
• 31:00 - 31:30 liar are you with me if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins now how many people are in that verse how many people are in that verse how many persons are identified in that verse okay put it this way how many groups yeah we and the Lord if we confess our
• 31:30 - 32:00 sins he is faithful and just to forgive now here's we here's God what do we do confess what does he do now there is a chronology of events one thing must precede the other before he forgives we have to repent or
• 32:00 - 32:30 confess in other words there's something he does finish my words and there's something we do if we confess he'll forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness God will take a prostitute forgive her and make her a spiritual virgin because when he forgives you he wipes it clean people may see you the same way
• 32:30 - 33:00 God doesn't see you that way anymore because you're washed God takes a junkie cleans him up and no longer sees his past life because now he's hidden in Christ but I'm stressing the point there's something you do there's something God does but let me add something to that formula at 5 after 7 go to Romans 2
• 33:00 - 33:30 you have Romans 2 let's read verse four microscopically I said there's something God does there's something we do anything God requires of us is good always remember that but what did I say about a human being doing something good it can only be done how by the power of God including repent and
• 33:30 - 34:00 confess because the carnal nature does not confess the carnal nature does not repent repentance is good confession is good there is no good thing in the carnal nature Romans 7:18 Jesus said that which is born of the flesh is flesh Jesus said John 663 the flesh profiteth nothing so even though I Repent God forgives in order for me to repent God must help me
• 34:00 - 34:30 Romans 2 ver4 are you there read nice and loud or despises thou The Riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering keep going not knowing that the goodness of God come on leadth you in other words here am I a terrible sinner I need to repent but the carnal Nature has no desire to repent God puts in me the urge to
• 34:30 - 35:00 repent then I act on that urge so even though he does his I do mine in order for me to do mine he has to help me do mine that's the goodness of God go to Acts chapter 5 acts 5 if there's something you're doing you've not yet confessed tell god father help me to confess help me to repent you have acts 5 let's read verse
