Hidden Plans in Hopeless Situations: Part 2

Posted by on Jul 19, 2009 in Rev. Serven | Comments Off on Hidden Plans in Hopeless Situations: Part 2

Text: 2 Kings 5:15-27 Many Christians are very familiar with the expression—“your sin will find you out”. Those of us who have lived long enough know that this is true from our own personal experience. Moreover, the Bible clearly teaches this doctrine as well in the following passages: cf. Psalm 32:1-3; Proverbs 28:13; Galatians 6:7-8; 1 John 1:8-10; Revelation 14:13-14. In this particular text (2 Kings 5:15-27) we witness two very different responses to the grace of God—gratitude and greed. Naaman expresses gratitude for his healing from...

Characteristics of a True Church: Part 1

Posted by on Jun 7, 2009 in Rev. Serven | Comments Off on Characteristics of a True Church: Part 1

Text: 1 Timothy 4:6-10 Having focused in two previous sermons on the rise of the Apostate Church (vs. 1-5), let us now consider Paul’s teaching on the characteristics of a True Church (vs. 6-16). On the basis of this passage, and many others, the Protestant Reformers came to recognize that a True Church of Jesus Christ is characterized by “three marks”. They are: 1. The true preaching of the Word of God (cf. John 8:31-32, 47, 14:23; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 John 4:1-3). 2. The right administration of the Sacraments (cf. Matthew 28:19; Mark...

God is Love

Posted by on May 31, 2009 in Rev. Serven | Comments Off on God is Love

Text: I John 4:7-12 Guest Preacher: Pastor Jeff Yelton We should be very impressed with God’s love for us. Motivated by love, God sent Jesus Christ to die as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. He also caused us to be born again. Therefore, we must reflect the love of God in our relationships with one another, by loving each other. This love is not a worldly love, but rather a godly love. In fact, it is a love from God. Unless we love each other in this way, we cannot truly claim to know God at all. On the other hand, if we truly love each...

The Rise of the Apostate Church: Part 2

Posted by on May 24, 2009 in Rev. Serven | Comments Off on The Rise of the Apostate Church: Part 2

Text: 1 Timothy 4:1-5 In this passage the Apostle Paul tells us how an Apostate Church will arise in the “later times”. This false church will be known as, “having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.” (2 Timothy 3:5). Jesus also taught this same essential truth, but applied it to the entire Church Age that stretched from the Resurrection to the Return of Jesus (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43). In other words, Jesus says that alongside of the true Church there will be a false Church. At times it will be difficult to distinguish...
