Dylan Oz right turn to Hebrews chapter 5 Hebrews chapter number 5 Hebrews chapter number 5
I'll start reading there in verse number 12
Bible reads for when the time you ought to be teachers you have need that one teach you again
Which be the first principles of the oracles of God and are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat
For everyone that use of milk is is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a babe
But strong meat belongeth unto them that are of full age
Even though who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Let's pray Lord
Thank you so much for this opportunity to preach. Pray that you give me a clear mind and sound words Lord
I just pray that you help me identify your people tonight in Jesus name. I pray amen
Okay, so this passage is often used to talk about babes in Christ and then as Christians
We hear lots of preaching about babes in Christ and we often think that there's basically two stages of growth in the Christian life
And that's being a babe in Christ and being a mature Christian
But the title of my sermon tonight is spiritual teenage punks because I believe that there's a third
You know growth and your spiritual life that not everyone hits some people just grow up, you know
Everyone's babe, of course
But you know, I see a lot of spiritual teenage punks today and sometimes we even see those people in our movement
I'm sure you guys would agree with that. But you know, these people aren't total babes, you know
Like a teenager isn't isn't a child, right? They have some knowledge. They have some characteristics of an adult
They do some things that an adult does but obviously they have a lot of problems as well
So I want to talk about three characteristics of a spiritual teenage punk turn to Galatians chapter 5
Galatians chapter 5 Galatians chapter 5 verse 19 now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these adultery
fornication uncleanness the civvishness
idolatry witchcraft hatred
Variants emulations wrath strife seditions heresy so number one spiritual teenage punks are different for the sake of being different
One of the words there that was listed was variance and that means that you're just constantly changing right and obviously we know as Christians
You know we should be the same in the local church of course right you know we should be different from the world
But these people they want to be different than spiritual leadership just for the sake of being different
They want to be different than your friends just for the sake of being different
Matthew 10 35 says prime come to set a man at
Variants against his father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law
So God has sent us to be variant, but it's from a specific type of person. It's from the unsaved
It's from the ungodly it's from those that refuse to serve God
But we shouldn't just be different than every single brother in Christ that we have you know
That's a bad sign if every single you know
Opinion that your church has every single doctrine that your church holds to and you're just the one guy in the church
It's like well, I'm different on that. I'm different on how we go so winning. I'm different on the Trinity
I'm different on all these things
Obviously that's being variant and that's a sin Titus
214 says who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto himself a peculiar people
Zealous of good works, you know if you want to stand out as being someone that's different
Why don't you stand out for being a great soul winner? Why don't you stand out as being just a man?
That's full of the spirit and that loves the brethren and that serves in the church and that submits yourself to your pastor
You know stand out from the world by the way that you live
But don't stand out from just all the stupidity that flows out of your mouth
You know because you're spiritual teenage punk and you can't submit to anybody. Okay
Ephesians 4 1 through 3, you know, I'm just gonna skip that just for for a lack of time
So turn to turn to Proverbs 9. We'll be getting there in a little bit. So number two
Spiritual teenage punks are know-it-alls and the reason I'm actually preaching this sermon is because the fool that pastor
Amenas and pastor Thompson kicked out of our church
Sebastian Sandoval was like this now, obviously, I believe he's a reprobate and that he's not saved
But he had a lot of these attributes of what I guess a teenage punk would have
And I'm very thankful that they kicked him out of the church by the way as well
But you know this guy just thought he knew everything the whole time going to our church
He hadn't even read the Bible through cover to cover one time by the very end of him coming to church
He said that he had read the Bible one time cover to cover and yet
He wants to correct pastor Jimenez and all of his doctrine
He wants to correct all the pastors in our movement on all of their doctrine and all the people in the church and all of their
Doctrine first Corinthians 8 to says and if any man think that he knoweth anything he knoweth nothing
Yet as he ought to know so those of us that actually have read the Bible more than one time cover to cover and those of
Us that aren't a spiritual teenage punk, you know
We know that the more that we read the Bible we know that we know nothing as we ought to know
You know and you see these pastors who have read the Bible through
Cover to cover just tens and scores of times these people aren't lifted up with pride about their knowledge
You know the more that you read the Bible the more you realize that hey, I don't know what I need to know
So someone who's read the Bible through one time cover to cover and wants to say well pastor menace doesn't know to go soul-winning
You know because I have a better way. You're a fool. You're an arrogant idiot in your spiritual teenage punk
Psalm 131 one says Lord my heart is not haughty nor mine eyes lofty neither
Do I exercise myself in great matters or in things too high for me?
You know it's like every time this guy got up on a men's preaching night sermon
He had to preach some weird deep new truth out of the Bible that no one's ever heard of he's like
Hey, did you know that the feeding of the 5,000 was just a parable? Yeah, that's how that sounds right
You know his first sermon ever I believe he preached on Hebrews chapter 6
You know it's a bad sign in a young man when you cannot just preach any normal doctrine out of the Bible
You know if you're new at preaching you know even even if you're not really that new at preaching
Why would you not be able to just preach what the Bible says why can't you just pick a doctrine and say hey?
I just want to get better at preaching, and I'm just gonna preach on baptism. I'm just gonna preach on soul winning
I'm not gonna preach these weird just strange truths out of the Bible
It's not it's not right and it's something we need to stay away from and obviously every pastor in this movement
You know that can preach just amazing sermons
They started out by preaching faithfully the milk of the word and just the basic precepts of the Bible number three
spiritual teenage punks are
Rebellious, I had you turn to Proverbs chapter 9. Let me get there because just like a
Teenager is rebellious spiritual teenage punks are rebellious Proverbs chapter 9 verse 8
Reprove not a scorner lest he hate thee rebuke a wise man and he will love thee give instruction to a wise man
And he will be yet wiser teach adjust man and he will increase in learning
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the holy is understanding
So when when teenage spiritual teenage punks get corrected it just goes in one year and out the other
You know one of the things that this idiot was doing is when he was going soul winning
He was refusing to ask people to preach the gospel. He was asking he was refusing to ask permission and at very Baptist Church
That's one of the things pastor menace wants us soul winners to do is ask permission to preach the gospel
You don't just walk up and start vomiting
You know scripture out of people and he would as soon as they would open the door he'd stick that his foot in their door
You know and he'd get up in people's face and he'd be a jerk and he'd be mean to people and you know
He was corrected so many times and then he'd be like, yeah, okay
I'll work on that, you know
And when I cracked over when someone else corrected him out soul winning Grammy brother Aaron and you know, he'll he'll say okay
I'll change that and then he'll go soul winning with brother Brandon and do the same thing
Like he was never never corrected, you know
And he'll play like an idiot because a fool will not be instructed a fool
You cannot teach them anything it goes in one ear and out the other
And you know, it doesn't matter how many times this guy had to be corrected
He was just waiting to break the rules again and to despise authority again and just to to be a fool again
Jude 1 8 says likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh despise dominion and speak evil of dignities
You know no respect for authority. This guy was kicked out of church told not to return to any church function functions
The next day he shows up at the church nursing home ministry
And I confront him and i'm trying to get him out of here
He's like well pastor menace isn't my pastor anymore. So this whole time in church
He obviously had no respect for the man of god no fear of god. Why because he was a spiritual teenage punk
So if you see any of these
Attributes in a person you know, it's it's very likely that you're dealing with a false prophet first of all
And I just want to encourage everyone to report to your pastor when you see this kind of stuff, you know
That's one thing I definitely know that I did right in this situation and I was constantly updating brother Aaron about this kid's foolishness
And you know you say oh you're a snitch. This is not a prison
This is a Baptist Church trying to fulfill the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ
You know stop being so weak that you that you're unable to tell your pastor about what some fool is doing
That's ruining your church. All right, let's pray Lord
Thank you for this day and think the opportunity to preach pray to fill the next man with your spirit Lord. Do you say pray?
Amen, Phil Perry
