Matthew 26:26-29

26

 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke

it,

and gave

it

to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

27

 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave

it

to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you.

28

 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29

 But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom." Slide5

John 14:2

 In My Father's house are many mansions; if

it were

not

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Slide6

As Christians we have the responsibilities to execute discipline in the church, in order to keep it healthy.

If we do not keep the church healthy, people outside wont do it.

The responsibility to see after the affairs of the congregation here in Calgary is for all us, men and women.

What are we doing, that is, you and I, to keep the habits from the Bible active here in the church.

Let’s study 4 habits this morning, of how keep the church here at Northside healthy!Slide8

1 Thessalonians 5:14 14  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.

parakaleo

’

Paul has been exhorting the brethren in many ways and he will do it this morning gain.Slide9

 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4  he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5  useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

1 Corinthians 5:11 11  But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

Colossians 1:18 18  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
