Psalm 85

DUE TO SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES,  WE WERE UNABLE TO LIVE STREAM OUR SERVICE AND THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF THE SERMON WERE NOT RECORDED.  WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. 

The question, “What must we do to be saved?” , is nowhere in Scripture stated more clearly than in this text. Paul tells us that there are two conditions that must be met in order for someone to be saved. The first condition is to confess and the second condition is to believe. Do you…Believe in your HEART that God raised Him from the DEAD? Will you…Confess with your MOUTH that Jesus is your LORD?

In Romans 9:19-29, Paul is going to address and answer further objections to God’s Sovereignty over Salvation. In verses 1-18, we addressed a major reality that if God were only to exercise His Perfect Justice then we would ALL be in trouble…no one would ever receive Salvation, because every person who has ever lived deserves nothing but the wrath of God. Therefore, it is hardly a matter of injust...

Our security in Christ is an established fact. Nothing can separate us from His love! In Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation or separation! Since God is for us, who can be against us?

While we might not be able to fully comprehend God’s omniscient eternal plan, we can believe in what the Bible clearly says—every aspect of salvation, originates with God. Salvation is empowered by God’s Grace Alone, thru Faith Alone in Christ Alone.

Since salvation has nothing to do with our own efforts, since salvation is purely by Grace Alone, thru Faith Alone in Christ Alone, then… why does God save any of us?  Since salvation is not based on my work or my activity, then… what is its purpose? The purpose of Salvation is so that Believers would be “conformed to the image of His Son” and that Christ would be “the firstborn among many brother...

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” What do we know? As Children of God, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that every aspect of our lives is in God’s hands. We know that every aspect of our lives will be divinely used by the Lord for His Glory and for our Good.

Although we have been redeemed and we are absolutely secure in our adoption as God’s children, we still struggle, We still face adversity, hardships and times of great suffering and there are times when we do not even know how to pray in the midst of those circumstances. The Holy Spirit knows both the mind of God and the mind of His children. The Holy Spirit works to facilitate the communication t...

Suffering and struggling are a refining process through which we all must pass. As we pass thru the Seasons of suffering, we learn to expand our trust in God and we learn how to rest & rely upon the care & control of God. In verse 17, Paul stated that believers will share in Christ’s suffering. In verse 18, he completes that thought by stating that the sufferings we now face are completely...

In the 1st part of Chapter 8, Paul has given us a beautiful overview of God’s work in believers’ lives (1–11). God has fully participated in our salvation and He continues to participate in our sanctification. The fact that we have been regenerated and that we have received the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit do NOT in themselves guarantee holy living, but they do make holy living possible. In...

A Psalm of Thanksgiving

As long as we live in this world we will face constant tension—there is a constant conflict that exists between our new spiritual life and our old sinful nature. No longer are we slaves to sin….we are slaves of righteousness. While we may be slaves of a new master, we still live in enemy territory. Sin is no longer our master but it is still a powerful adversary. If we fail to take sin seriously,...

It is one thing for a Believer to understand that their identification with Jesus Christ means that they have died to sin (6:2) , it is another thing for the Believer to count or to reckon that to be true (6:11) , it is something else for the Believer to deal with the sin nature that remains. This is the internal conflict in the area of sanctification that every Believer must deal with. In verses...

The Christian life is not one of independence and rebellion. We have died to the law so that we might be married to “ Him who was raised from the dead ”. We have been delivered from the law so that we might faithfully submit to our Savior and wholeheartedly serve our Lord.

Paul begins this section in almost the same way as the beginning of the Chapter. He wants to make sure there is no misunderstanding of the nature of grace. It is true that we have been forgiven by the Grace of God. It’s also true that the forgiveness we have received does not give us the right to do anything we want. Rather, our forgiveness provides us with the opportunity to live the way God want...
