The command to examine oneselfDrawing from 1 Corinthians 11, the speaker notes that breaking bread requires a period of self-examination.

The consequences of failing to judge oneselfFailing to examine oneself while taking communion can lead to physical weakness, sickness, and even death within the community.

The high standard of holiness in the early churchWhile the early church experienced great miracles and power, it was also characterized by a very high standard of holiness and accountability.

The sin of pretending to give everythingAnanias and Sapphira wanted the reputation of being generous like others, but they secretly kept part of the proceeds from their land sale.

Lying without opening your mouthYou can deceive others and the Holy Spirit through your actions and impressions, even without speaking a word.

The goal of a clean recordThe speaker expresses a desire for a life so thoroughly purified by confession and repentance that no sin remains visible on the record of his life.

Learning to apologize and not judge othersThrough a story about his son, the speaker illustrates that we should teach children to take responsibility for their mistakes and apologize, rather than focusing on whether others apologize to them.

The promise of self-judgmentIf we judge ourselves with justice, we will not be condemned, which is a vital practice for every believer.

Living in the new and living wayThe speaker explains that under the new covenant, we are called to a path of self-examination and accountability rather than the Old Testament pattern of judging others.

The practice of self-accountabilityThe speaker shares his personal practice of recording specific areas where he has had to hold himself accountable to God to ensure he is not preaching what he hasn't personally addressed.

The two types of sin: commissions and omissionsSin includes both the wrong things we do and the good things we fail to do, such as neglecting opportunities to share the Gospel.

The believer's accountability at the Judgment Seat of ChristBelievers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive rewards for their actions and motives, not to determine their salvation, but to be rewarded for their faithfulness.
