Seeing and Hearing for the Sake of Resurrected Fellowship and Covenant

·1 hr 7 min·5 clips

Apostle Dr. T.L. Elliott gets hyped in the Holy Ghost, declaring that pagan gods were absent when Jesus resurrected.

Apostle Dr. T.L. Elliott opens the episode with energetic greetings to church leaders and the congregation, setting a passionate tone about celebrating the risen Lord Jesus Christ. He announces the sermon title: 'Seeing and Hearing for the Sake of Resurrected Fellowship and Covenant.' Elliott reads from Luke 24:13-21 and 25-32, describing how two disciples travel to Emmaus on resurrection day, discussing Jesus' death without realizing he is walking with them. He explains that Emmaus means 'warm baths' or 'warm springs' in Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic, symbolizing a place for spiritual reflection and transformation. Elliott critiques modern parallels where people seek fulfillment in locations or social media rather than in a personal relationship with Jesus. He analyzes why the disciples didn't recognize Jesus, referencing John 10:27 about sheep knowing their shepherd's voice and listing five ways sheep learn: through feeding, watering, protection, guidance, and observation of elders. Elliott interprets Jesus' question to the disciples as addressing their spiritual sadness and lack of perception. He examines Cleopas' response, noting the disciples called Jesus merely a prophet, not the Son of God, revealing their limited understanding. Elliott delves into Jesus calling them 'foolish,' explaining the Greek word 'amoritos' means unwise or dull in divine perception. He discusses Jesus' need to suffer to enter his glory, connecting it to believers' access to eternity. The sermon highlights the moment when Jesus breaks bread with the disciples, opening their eyes and establishing fellowship and covenant. Elliott concludes with seven takeaways: seek transformation in the Lord, recognize his voice, open eyes to see him in all things, avoid defining God by fleshly desires, embrace fellowship and covenant, dedicate service to seeing and hearing, and view suffering with Christ as access to glory. The episode blends biblical teaching, personal anecdotes, and practical applications for Christian living.
