thus the heavens and the earth were finished
and all the host of them and on the Seventh-day God ended his work which He had made and He
rested on the Seventh-day from all his work which he had made and God blessed the Seventh-day
and sanctified it because that in it He had rested from all his work which God created and made
say it with me now remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy six days shalt thou labor and do
all thy work but the Seventh-day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God in it, thou shalt not do any
work thou not thy son nor thy daughter thy man's servant, not I made servant, not thy cattle
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates for in six days, the Lord made heaven and earth
the sea and all that in them is and rested the Seventh-day wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath
day and hallowed it and so I say god is good and all the time try it again God is good and
all the time let me hear the ladies God is good and all the time where are the men God is good
all the time and all the time the family of God God is good and all the time as they say in Kenya
and that's his nature good morning everybody thank you happy service to you how did you sleep you slept well how many of you
dreamed of Jesus may I see your hands nobody dreamed of Jesus it's all right He has no
grudge against you he loves you do you realize you and I are awake and alive now because of the
mercies of christ the bible says in him we live and move and have our being in Christ in Matthew
5:45 the bible says for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on
the just and on the unjust because of that verse every day I ask God to be merciful to people who
are suffering even for those who don't follow you because that exercise of mercy may lead
them to follow you I ask God every day be merciful to those who are suffering
including those who do not follow you why because your word says he maketh his sun to rise
on the good and on the evil he sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust and as long as probation
continues you can pray for those who are suffering you can pray for the evildoers and sinners
because God's grace still extends to them I am happy to see you let me thank you for your
cooperation yesterday I rebuked you rather sharply and none of you rebelled as far as I could see

this entire service to your glory exclusively father and to our blessing I offer this prayer in
Jesus name let God's people say amen and amen acts chapter 4 we shall read from verse 34 our subject
a tsunami warning acts 4 reading from verse 34. while you're searching for acts chapter 4 there
are some personalities in the new testament that always pop into the mind when we think of
outstanding servants of God we think preeminently of course of Jesus Christ but he's in a class
by himself so we will exclude him of all the new testament characters that are outstanding
who pops into your mind the apostle paul Stephen the first martyr we think of Philip and
the Ethiopian eunuch but there is a man that is not frequently mentioned and I want him to
be the person who introduces this message this morning and that man is called Barnabas our
subject a tsunami warning let's learn a little about Barnabas acts 4 reading from verse 34.
before we read let me set it up in the early church whoever had a need had that need met by
the generosity of other church members let me say it again no one in the early church suffered
because all other church members came together and gave what they had to meet the needs of
those who were in crisis and so verse 34 says neither was there any among them that lacked for
as many as were possessors of lands and houses saw them and brought the prices of the things that
were sold and laid them down at the apostles' fee and distribution was made unto every man according
as he had a need and so the bible says those who were wealthy they sold land they sold houses they
sold to meet the needs of those in the church less fortunate ah how the church would be different
today if we function that way and jerseys verse 37 who by the apostles was surnamed, Barnabas
which is by inter which is being interpreted the son of consolation a Levite of the country of
Cyprus having land sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet we are introduced
to Barnabas as a generous man a soft-hearted member of the church who felt that the need of a
member in crisis was his personal responsibility let me say it again some of us have this attitude
that's your problem no when a member of the church suffers it is all of our problems somebody say
amen barnabas his mindset was your suffering is my problem he sold land and brought the money
and gave it to the apostles now some of us today we will make contributions but we want
to decide how the money will be used those early church members gave the money and
they trusted the apostles to distribute the money as the holy ghost led them do not use your
money to deliberately try to determine what the church should do if you're convicted to
give give and leave it up to the spirit of God to guide those to whom the money is
entrusted if that's clear say amen don't use your wealth as a weapon to whip
the church into compliance with your desires barnabas was a giving man generous man let's look
at barnabas again we go to acts chapter 9 we read from verse 26 this is the chapter in which paul
or saul as he then collided with Jesus christ he's knocked off his horse he's made blind he
goes through conversion he meets with the church at Damascus now he preaches in Damascus his life
is threatened he leaves Damascus and he comes to Jerusalem verse 26 acts 9 a tsunami
warning and when Paul came to Jerusalem he assayed to join himself to the disciples but
they were all afraid of him and believe not that he was a disciple this man used to arrange
for the killing of those who followed christ he had a reputation as a very cruel man if
you go to verse one of acts chapter nine and saul yet breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against the disciples of the lord he was constantly seeking out christians to have
the murdered killed destroyed the apostles knew of saul so when he came to jerusalem and tried
to join them the bible says they were afraid verse 26 27 sorry but barnabas took him and
brought him to the apostles and declared unto them how he had met the lord or seen the lord in
the way and that he had spoken to him and how he had preached boldly at damascus in the name of
jesus christ barnabas took saul when all the other apostles were terrified of saul and Barnabas
took him and brought him to the apostles and said this man is okay we have a generous man
we have a giving man we have a fearless man he went by himself god saul and took him
and put the minds of the other disciples at rest when Stephen was martyred the
church at Jerusalem scattered Cyprus uh antioch irini and as they ran they preached and
the preaching had effect and in acts 11 when the church at Jerusalem because the leaders remained
in Jerusalem when they heard what was going on in the area of antioch the bible says in verse 22
they sent forth barnabas that he should go as far as Antioch who when he came and had
seen the grace of God exhorted them all that's his purpose of heart they would cleave
unto the Lord now Barnabas was sent by the church to assess what was going on in the area of Cyprus
Kyrenia and Antioch now when the church chooses a man to assess a spiritual situation the church
chooses a man who is grounded in the word who is grounded in the writings of the prophet of
the lord ellen white who knows how to discern in 1900 September 13 to September 23, there was
a camp meeting in Muncie Indiana the church had heard of a disastrous movement called the
holy flesh movement which essentially said to prepare for translation this body had to go
through some suffering, it had to go through the garden of Gethsemane experience that through
the suffering the flesh might be perfected in readiness for translation and at those services
the people worked themselves into a frenzy loud music was played just like in the days of
nebuchadnezzar and people would fall down and fake and then they were declared to have passed
through the garden of Gethsemane experience and they were now sinless in the flesh and ready
for translation when the church heard of that the church sent two men to investigate just as the
church at Jerusalem sent Barnabas to investigate the evangelism going on in Cyprus Cyrene and
Antioch the seventh-day Adventist church in 1900 sent to men s and Haskell and aj breed to confront
this era called the holy flesh but the point I'm trying to stress when you send someone to assess
a situation to meet it and to confront it you must send a man or a woman who can defend the teachings
of the church can you say a man they sent Barnabas he knew the word he was a man of balance
a man of discernment a man who could see the workings of the enemy where no one else
could a man of fearlessness they sent Barnabas let's look at Barnabas a little more
acts 13 reading from verse 1 acts 13 verse 1 our subject a tsunami warning now
there was in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers as Barnabas and
Simon that was called niger and Lucius of Cyrene and manian which had been brought up with Herod
the tetrarch and saul as the minister to the lord infested the holy ghost said separate me
Barnabas and Saul for the work we're unto i have what yes I've called them now, by the
way, let me uh digress meaningfully and briefly there are some among us who believe the
holy ghost is not an intelligent personality when you hear that go in the other
direction the holy ghost is fully divine the holy ghost is God I didn't say the holy
ghost was the father I said the holy ghost is God Jesus is God the father is god don't keep
giving me this anemic immense say amen the holy ghost is god the holy ghost is divine
the bible says the holy ghost said he communicated with those prophets and teachers and he selected
Barnabas and saul, not saul and Barnabas if you read the early history of the apostle paul
he traveled initially with Barnabas but they are mentioned as Barnabas and saul first meaning
at some point Barnabas was a mentor to saul how do you mean to the apostle paul unless you're
Jesus Barnabas was a mentor to saul the holy ghost hand-picked Barnabas i am stressing this generous
soft-hearted loved brethren fearless could defend the truth against error hand-picked by the spirit
of God for a work that god desired he and saul should do this is Barnabas say amen for brother
Barnabas let's learn some more about Barnabas let's go to Galatians chapter 2. we'll read
from verse 11 thank you for holding your seats I just thought I should remind you to continue to
be nice we forget very quickly what book did I say Galatians what chapter one verse 11 but
when Peter came to Antioch or Jerusalem I withstood him how to face why because he
was to be blamed for before that certain came from James he did it with the gentiles but when they
were come he withdrew and separated themselves fearing them which were of the circumcision what
is paul saying peter that great apostle would mingle with the unbelief not the unbelievers
the gentiles when no jews were around when the jews shot up peter backed off and Paul didn't like that they would come he
withdrew and separated themselves fearing them which were of the circumcision now listen to verse
13 and the other Jews dissembled likewise with him now we have a chain of events
listen to verse 13 microscopically read it with me if you have the king James
version and the other jews did what dissembled or acted hypocritically how what's the next word
likewise, what does that mean just like peter follow me closely one man acted
hypocritically and a group followed that man the other Jews dissembled likewise
with him listen to me carefully you have one of two options
your presence on this earth can be the reason why some
people go to hell or heaven there are people in your classroom
in your college your academy your university who may end up
in hell or heaven because of you all the jews present watching peter's behavior followed him now we
read verse 13 and come to the sad conclusion of that verse the other jews also dissembled
likewise with him in so much what does that mean to such an extent finish the verse for me
Barnabas also finished the verse what's what carried away Finn is the verse with
the deception now what's our subject you're too slow what's your subject tsunami
one what does the tsunami do how many of you from Indonesia ah god bless the beautiful
Indonesians i love Indonesia I've been about six times i want to go six more times what
happened December 26, 2004, I believe it was a tsunami any of my friends
from Indonesia from banda aceh you are from Bandai it perhaps received the worst
effects of that tsunami it washed away buildings a few years ago in northern
japan there was a tsunami you know the Fukushima nuclear plant
the tsunami came over a 30-foot wall washed away villages influence is a tsunami are you sleeping with your eyes
open did you hear what i said what did I just say influence is a tsunami? Barnabas that strong man that man the
denomination can trust to confront the uh what was going on in Antioch Cyrene
Cyprus when I say confront to determine whether it was genuine or not that man
who was not afraid of the apostle paul that man who was generous that man who was in
the early life of paul's ministry a mentor to paul that man the holy ghost hand pitched
he was swept away by a tsunami of influence and the other jews disassembled likewise with
him in so much the hypocrisy was so great that Barnabas now the bible singles out
Barnabas to emphasize the degree to which peter's negative behavior affected the jews
and the ripple effect that reached the Barnabas Barnabas should have stood alone like paul
because paul saw it and he was not swept away are you listening to me paul saw it verse 14 when
I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, Paul was watching
this and he said this isn't right when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel i said unto Peter before them all paul confronted this mass
hypocrisy he was a wall to stem this tsunami my young friends and my not so young friends don't consider yourselves immune to the
tsunami of the influence of people around you unless you think you're stronger than Barnabas
unless you think you have more gifts than Barnabas had if Barnabas could be swept away of course
not permanently I'm sure he repented you and I can be swept away if we are not careful we need to
learn to take personal individual stands for God nothing to do with the crowd by the way for those
of you, in positions of authority, my clock doesn't function so I don't know how much time I have
left and I'm happy for that, we need to learn to take an individual stance listen to Joshua and
if it seems evil unto you to serve the lord choose you this day whom you will serve whether
the Gods which your father served that were On the other side of the flood are the Gods of the
Amorites in whose land he dwells but as for me and my house paul's listen to joshua as for me and
my house joshua could have said as for my house and that would have included him the house
meaning family but Joshua identifies himself as an individual in his family as for me and my
house we will serve the lord meaning if my house chooses not to serve God if my wife leaves God
if my in-laws leave God if my children leave God I will serve the Lord how many of you will say
if the whole world leaves god I'll be faithful to God can I see your hand if the whole world leaves
Jesus, I'll be faithful to Christ we need that mind Jesus had that mind that's why you
and i can be saved why do i say that when Christ was confronted in the garden
of Gethsemane yes the garden of Gethsemane by the Roman soldiers led by brother judas the bible says in Mark chapter 14 verse 50 of
the disciples they all forsook him and fled peter James john his inner circle they ran listen to me carefully the only person
you can depend on absolutely is Jesus God bless your wife and your husband
and your mother and your father the only person you can trust absolutely is Jesus
he does not run when things get hot the bible says they all forsook him and fled and Jesus
held his ground because christ could have run now he's on the cross same book of mark verse 34
chapter 15 at the ninth-hour Jesus christ with a the loud voice saying loy lamas and Bethany which is
being interpreted finish the verse my god come on say it my God my God why hast thou forsaken me
for a while, the father turned away from the son the disciples were gone the father turned away
Jesus was on that cross what word do i need to use now alone he could have been swept away
by the influence of the departing 11 disciples vanishing in the night of Gethsemane but love for
you and the father held him rooted to the ground when the father turned away
christ could have left that cross because he and the father had never been separated
before and the father swore that this reminding of the godhead you take a garment and you rip your
tear that is what happened on the cross when the father turned away and the father swore
it would never happen again but it happened let's reason together when the father turned
away what do you think the holy ghost did can the holy ghost go against the father
what do you think the holy ghost did turn away when the father turned away and the holy
ghost turned away what do you think the angels did and Christ was on that
cross, give me the word alone listen to this verse who being the brightness
of his glory and the express image of His person and upholding all things by the word of his
power when he had by himself purged our sins christ by himself the disciples
went the father turned away the spirit turned away the angels turned away
Christ on that cross alone not being stripped by the tsunami of people leaving him
and he stayed because he loves you forget the person next to you he loves
you an individual decision to stay we must understand the importance of individual
decisions when god made adam just listen to the word and the lord god form man of the dust
of the ground breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living
soul when that occurred eve did not exist so when adam was made eve was
not around it was adam and god that's it when eve was made genesis 2 21 and the
lord god caused a deep sleep to fall upon adam and he slept now could god have left adam a
weight to watch the creation of eve yes or no yes excuse me but notice the language of the bible
and the lord god calls what kind of sleep what is sleep representing the bible death in a
certain sense to all intents and purposes adam was dead he had nothing to do with god's interaction
with eve had nothing to do with god's interaction with adam so when adam opened his eyes who
did we see god when eve opened our eyes whom did she see god by the way young people
see god first before you see a boyfriend I'm talking to myself nobody's listening listen
to me see god first before you see a boyfriend or girlfriend or somebody else's girlfriend see God because when you see God
now you have a proper perspective you have divine GPS to guide you to see God first
before you buy that house see god first before you choose a career see God first before you decide to
have an eighth child see God what's the word first God made adam eve was not around God made eve
adam was not around why because God begins at the individual level until you understand the
importance of the individual decision for God you and I are at risk of being swept away
by the tsunami of the influence of others your church decides to rebel against a
general conference and you swept away your church board decides to rebel
against whomever, you swept away your classroom teacher decides to teach
that uh Jesus is not divine all the other students believe it you're swept away why
because we like to be part of something some of you listening to me deep in your heart
you want to serve God but you want to please your friends deep in your heart you do not like
what you're becoming but you want to please your friends you know you ought to stop that behavior
on Friday night you want to please your friends ask God for the courage to make an individual
decision to do what is right in the sight of god in the judgment, you stand before God
by yourself, you don't take your parents you don't take the friends that led you
into drugs you do not take the friend that led you into sexual immorality
you stand before god by yourself my brothers and sisters this message this morning
is a tsunami warning in child guidance page 201 paragraph 3 Hellen writes every course
of action has a twofold character and importance it is virtuous or vicious right or
wrong according to the motive which prompts it a wrong action by frequent repetition leaves
a permanent mark upon the mind of the actor and also on the minds of those that are connected
with him in any relation either spiritual or temporal what is she saying when you're connected
to an evildoer, his or her behavior affects you and so she writes and counsels for the church
pierce 312 paragraph three listen carefully the society of unbelievers will do us no harm if we
mingle with them for the purpose of connecting them with God here's how it ends and are strong
enough spiritually to withstand their influence every person on the face of the
earth is a tsunami it can be good or it can be bad let the tsunami of your
influence wash people to Jesus can you say amen amen there are men in graveyards right now who
were there because of the influence of a friend there are men, young men, in prison
because of the influence of friends come on join us and you can't say
no you join to be part of the group prison there are people in rehabilitation programs
now because of the tsunami influence of a friend there are young people who dress the way
they dress because of the tsunami influence of those on MTV or whatever the station is take a stand for Jesus, somebody say amen
you see you and christ what man of you having a hundred sheep if he loses how
many one that's the one on the one you see does not leave the ninety and nine in the
wilderness and go after that which was lost until he finds it so when he finds it is the
Shepherd and the sheep no one else one to one you know you should be baptized but
your friends are laughing at you and so you change your mind you know you ought
to obey your parents but your friends laugh at you because they don't you change your

friends who are leading you in the wrong direction young lady you know you're trouble deep in your
heart what you're doing is wrong as you assess your life the past six months you realize I am
heading in the wrong direction god sent you here to change directions all the man all the lady
whoever you are breaking the influence that friends have on you if it is negative by clinging
to Jesus, christ make a decision like daniel I will pray only to God even if it means
facing lions make a decision like Shadrach Meshach and Abednego even though they are named
together they made three individual decisions don't follow the crowd follow Jesus this

that any should perish you said in john 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

such power that the decisions they've made now no earthly power will change show us
