Fighting the Good Fight
Just because we are Christians does not mean there are no enemies or temptations. The Beach-head model of the Christian Life: Softening Up, D-Day, Break-Outs. We are called to be disciples. God has not intended for us to fail but to grow as the Gospel is formed in you. The Lordship over all parts of life. Faith can be strengthened or grow week. Our responsibility: to ask God to give faith. Faith is like a shield to extinguish the fiery darts of the devil. A “good” conscience, redeemed and informed by God’s word and Spirit....

read moreA Trophy of Grace
Paul, the unlikely convert. Jesus won us as His trophies of grace. What is Grace? The blessing of God Almighty on His people. The unmerited favor of God. God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense. The grace of our Lord overflows upon us in abundance. What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Someone who rejects God throughout the whole course of their life. Knows the truth, yet rejects it. A burden for the lost: pray for God’s mercy, and that God would give us a word in season. God reaches into the darkness of Paul’s unbelief and...
read moreThe Church: The Body of Christ
If we are redeemed, all the benefits Christ earned our ours. We are His people. We have been knit together. We have unity in Christ. We have a new identity in Christ. Christ is grieved by injuries done to his body the church. An attack on the body is an attack on God and you. Honor given to the church is honor given to Christ. Christ protects his body. The church is not an orphan. Christ humbles his converts, so that they submit to him and his church. Text: Acts 5:1-20 Guest Preacher, Pastor Jeff Yelton. Jesus Christ died on the cross as an...
read moreIn Everything Give Thanks
Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Paul concludes his first letter to the Thessalonians by making a passing statement, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Perhaps you are wondering, like I am, is Paul really serious about us obeying this admonition? How can a person “give thanks” in everything? After all, there are some truly awful parts of life where it is challenging to find anything to be thankful about! The key to interpreting this passage is found by investigating...
read moreThe Three Uses of the Law
Text: 1 Timothy 1:8-11 The Bible clearly states that the Christian is saved by grace alone through faith alone (cf. Ephesians 2:5, 8-10). Since this is true, then what should be one’s attitude toward the Law of God? Should the Christian reject it entirely as a set of unnecessary regulations, or is there some on-going use for the Law of God in the life of the Believer? In answer to these questions it should be noted that the Bible teaches three uses of the Law of God: (1) It is a light to expose our sin and point us to the Savior. (2) It is a...

read moreMissions: To Every Son and Daughter
The Great Comission is larger than Foreign Missions. Discipling the nations starts in the home. Covenantal Evangelism. What is the Covenant? God entering into relationship with His people. Timothy’s conversion vs. Paul’s conversion. The means of grace. Sending forth the next generation. Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-17 When we think of “missions” we typically think of getting our shots and passport in order, traveling to far away foreign lands, and preaching to natives in steamy jungle huts. This type of missionary effort is certainly...

read moreTrue Repentance
Text: 2 Corinthians 7:8-11 Guest Preacher, Pastor Yelton. Since we sin against God every day, we must repent of our sins. True repentance brings life. However, we must repent in a way that pleases God—not in a worldly way. This is sometimes difficult, because it is easy to confuse true repentance with a false, worldly repentance. So, we must study what the Bible says about repentance. The Holy Scriptures say a great deal about repentance. In the Bible, which is the only rule of faith and practice, we discover what repentance truly is, and we...
