💥 SINS / FAILURES
- 1️⃣ Treating Jesus’ “keys” as objects instead of truth leads to confusion and dead religion. (00:00:59–00:01:24) Support: Matt. 16:19; John 14:6; Col. 2:8
- 2️⃣ Assuming “this applies to them, not me” rejects the plural “you” Jesus spoke to all disciples. (00:00:34–00:00:59) Support: Matt. 16:19; Matt. 28:19–20; Luke 9:23
- 3️⃣ Using inaccurate teaching (wrong “combination”) blocks access rather than opening it. (00:01:20–00:02:05) Support: Matt. 28:20; Gal. 1:8–9; 2 Tim. 2:15
- 4️⃣ Minimizing the incarnation produces a “Jesus” who cannot truly substitute, obey, and atone. (00:03:27–00:03:57) Support: John 1:14; Phil. 2:6–8; Heb. 2:14–17
- 5️⃣ Preaching a “gospel” missing any of the five essentials is an unlocked door that never opens. (00:04:44–00:04:55) Support: 1 Cor. 15:2–5; Rom. 4:25; 2 Tim. 4:3–4
🏆 SUCCESSES / SPIRITUAL GROWTH
- 1️⃣ Growth begins by embracing the true identity of Jesus Christ as Messiah and Son of God. (00:02:43–00:03:14) Support: Matt. 16:16; Rom. 10:9; John 20:31
- 2️⃣ Spiritual maturity holds firmly to the apostolic gospel rather than drifting with trends. (00:04:11–00:04:22) Support: 1 Cor. 15:1–2; Jude 3; Acts 2:42
- 3️⃣ Confidence deepens when you see the atonement was “according to the Scriptures,” not accident or injustice. (00:05:12–00:05:32) Support: Isa. 53:4–6; Acts 2:23; Luke 24:44–46
- 4️⃣ Hope strengthens because the resurrection is necessary—“a dead Savior cannot save anyone.” (00:06:05–00:06:16) Support: 1 Cor. 15:17; Matt. 28:5–6; Rom. 6:9

🧭 LEADERSHIP DYNAMICS

- 2️⃣ Leadership fidelity means transmitting Jesus’ teachings accurately—the “combination” must be true. (00:01:31–00:02:05) Support: Matt. 28:20; 2 Tim. 1:13–14; Titus 1:9
- 3️⃣ Spirit-anointed leaders translate and explain so people far away can understand kingdom access. (00:02:05–00:02:26) Support: Acts 1:8; Neh. 8:8; 1 Cor. 14:9
- 4️⃣ Gospel leadership is content-heavy: death, burial, resurrection, appearances—kept in order and intact. (00:04:44–00:05:01) Support: 1 Cor. 15:3–5; Mark 1:14–15; Rom. 1:16
- 5️⃣ Leaders strengthen confidence by pointing to the living Christ who continues saving and interceding. (00:06:23–00:06:33) Support: Heb. 7:24–25; Rom. 8:34; John 6:37
