Not Ashamed of the Gospel: Jesus Saves!

View all sermons in the series

What is it that separates Christianity from all other religions and world views? Aren't all religions basically variations on a theme? These are questions as readily asked now as they would have been in the context of Roman society within which Paul writes. In that context Paul proclaims that the Gospel is in reality the exact opposite of every other religious view, for it proclaims not what we need to do but what God has already done, and not how we reach for God, but how God is reaching out to us. Join us as we explore the glorious reality that Jesus saves! 

Who's Up for the Test?

MALACHI 3:8-10 — The only place God tells us to test Him is in the area of tithes and offerings.  The tithe is holy and belongs to Him.  When we return to Him that which is His He promises to rebuke the devourer on our behalf.

Every year the crescendo of noise, narratives, news and fake news, seems to increase by a few decibels. Everyone is wanting to have an opinion about everything. In the midst of the confusion, how do we cut through the noise? How do make sure the message matters? Join us as we explore Paul’s exhortation to the Romans that the power lies in the bold, unashamed, proclamation of the gospel. Not in the latest book, or new programs for church growth, or strategies for better living, but in the good news of Jesus Christ!! 

Choosing To Bow Low

Isaiah 57:14-15 — Sometimes we will spontaneously express our heart to God with our body, falling to our knees or clapping, dancing or raising our hands in worship. At other times, in humility, we deliberately choose to physically position ourselves  in order to prepare our minds and hearts before the Lord. This is what I believe God is asking us to do, to choose to humble ourselves, not to just wait until we feel like it but in obedience to prepare our hearts and minds by bowing low. A contrite and humble spirit attracts the very presence of God. Isaiah 57:15 says that God not only inhabits eternity but dwells with the contrite and humble or lowly in spirit and revive them. 

Make Every Effort

2 Peter 1:3-10 — As followers of Jesus, we don’t want to be ‘ineffective or unproductive’ in life or in our knowledge of Jesus.  When we think of all that God has done for us in Christ, and since He is powerfully at work within us, there is a call to ‘make every effort’ to be growing, moving forward and bearing much fruit for God’s glory.  As we start 2020, let’s be intentional about heeding this call so that we are a people who are awake and ready!
