Spiritual Contamination

Spiritual Contamination

When I was a child there were two things that had to be done around dinner time-one was right before and one was right after. There was no arguing and no negotiating out of these two things. Wash your hands before you sit at the dinner table and wash the dinner dishes with the hottest water you could possibly stand. What does this have to do with spiritual contamination, you ask? Join us and find out!

"The source from which these rivers of pollution proceed is the natural heart of man. Sin is not a splash of mud upon man's exterior, it is a filth generated within himself."

- Charles Spurgeon
Internal Thoughts

• We spend a great deal of time judging others

• We judge people in a matter of minutes by six things:
⇨ Appearance
⇨ Smile
⇨ Handshake
⇨ Body language
⇨ Timeliness
⇨ Mannerisms

• Evil thoughts - not the physical appearance

• What people say is a judgement (good or bad) of their soul

• Watch our internal thoughts

• Directly related to the contamination of our souls

♢ Mark 7:20-23

• All external actions begin with internal thoughts
External Actions

• We all have contaminated hearts

• Is there some level of contamination that’s acceptable?
Contaminated Heart

• Discipleship is the solution to the contamination

• The question remains - do you care?

• Fellowship with God is interrupted by sin

“This Scripture is a powerful reminder that what God first wants from us is our heart. We can only really be changed before God from the inside out. If the life and the power and the work of God isn’t real in our heart, then it isn’t real at all.” - David Guzik
Life Application

This week commit to doing one more activity than you normally do to activate the decontamination of your soul
⇨ Bible Study
⇨ Small Groups
⇨ Read Scripture
⇨ Contact your Pastor’s!

💌 Let's Get Connected

The most important way to stay in communication is through our online program, "OnRealm" or the phone app version "Connect". It will allow you to get information that is only shared inside the church family, get a first look at what is shared on other social media platforms and connect with each other.

"Connect" also allows you a secure place to give. Finally, it acts as a virtual church directory! In an emergency, it is where we go first to look for you and how you are doing.

To get information as part of our church community, create an account at https://onrealm.org/FUMCYC.

If you have any questions or have any challenges connecting, contact miriams@fumcyubacity.com

✞ Communion Sundays

Communion is offered monthly, usually the first Sunday of the month. Communion elements can be requested and will be delivered in the most efficient way.

Please order two weeks ahead of Communion Sunday so we can do our best to make sure the elements are delivered on time. Each packet has been personally prayed over and blessed by the pastors.
