Gospel Saving Church

Overview – Do You Understand God’s Word? 1 Timothy 4:4-6. Our sermon starts out today picking up where the textual information of the last sermon left off. John continued writing to us of some interesting truths of the Gnostics of his day, along with those who are not saved and following false religions, even today. Some good info there, but I spend most of my time today in vs 6, where John says,...

Overview – What Would Jesus Do? 1 John 4:1-3. Daily, Christians will have communication with God, Christ, and God’s Holy Spirit, and God will communicate back to them as well. But unfortunately if you are a Christian, you will not only talk to God and hear from God, but you will also hear from the other side as well. Because, the devil and the fallen angels will speak to you, and try to communicat...

Overview – The Fickle Heart. 1 Timothy 3:18-24. In our sermon today I talked about the fickle heart that John describes in this section. For John says in verse 20, if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. But then in verse 21 he says, beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. How can our hearts condemn us, but then not condemn u...

Overview – The Thermometer. 1 John 3:10-18. In our message today John made some very plain, but very powerful statements about who is really saved, and who is not really saved. He tells us some really easy ways to tell the difference between a true child of God, and a child of the devil. I title this sermon thermometer because I see here how God through John is giving people a thermometer, or gaug...

Overview – He Who Sins Is Of The Devil. 1 John 3:4-9. In our sermon today we studied a very confusing section of scripture, in fact one of the hardest sections of scripture to understand in the entire Bible. Why is this a hard section to understand? Look at just a couple of statements that John makes in this section. John declares in vs 6 “Whoever abides in Him does not sin.” And in Vs. 8 “the per...

Overview – The Spiritual Children Of God. 1 John 1-3. In my sermon today I teach the first three verses of John’s first Gospel in which he gives God’s spiritual children some really good news. I also talk about some really good news for all humanity. John tells all those whom God has redeemed that they have become God’s children. And I don’t mean that people become God’s physical children because...

Overview - Only IF You Continue To Abide. 1 John 2:24-29. In our sermon today we focus on John’s command to Christians in vs 24: Therefore, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. He just told them to abide or stay in in what they had heard (from the disciples) from the beginning of knowing them. And in vs 26 he tells us that he gives them this command in light of what he says in...

Overview – Jesus Is THEEE Christ. 1 John 2:18-23. In my message today we study the words of John on the full proof way to know for sure, who is an antichrist, or false prophet, and a liar according to the Christian faith. Jesus said in Matthew 24:11 that many false prophets will rise up and deceive many, in speaking of the many people who would come in the last days, and believe and teach teaching...

Overview – The Dangerous Love. 1 John 2:15-17. John starts off this small section in the midst of this chapter with some very direct, firm and harsh words to Christians about the love of the world. He opens up with the command to all Christians, “Do Not love the world or the things of the world.” I named this sermon “The Dangerous love”, because John says that if a Christian loves the world or the...

Overview – Their Spiritual Conditions. 1 John 2:12-14. In our message today, John gives us a run-down of the categories of the spiritual conditions of those that are enduring and abiding in Christ Jesus. He tells us that the categories are: Little children, young adults, and fathers in the faith of Jesus Christ. John also goes through these three categories, of all Christians spiritual conditions,...

Overview – Homosexual Marriage In The Bible. Genesis 2:20-24. In our sermon today we break the mold for a week. Normally we go verse by verse through the Bible, but today, because of a very interesting conversation I was involved in this last week, we cover a very controversial topic in our modern society, homosexuality, and Homosexual Marriage. What does God really have to say about homosexuality...

Overview – Love One Another As I Have Loved You. 1 John 2:7-11. Love or not to love, that’s the question? Does God love everyone in the world, and should Christians love everyone in the world? Is it Ok in God’s eyes for a Christian to harbor resentment, or hatred in their hearts for a fellow Christian, or not? A bunch of questions is all that this overview will peak your interest with, but John sp...

Overview – The Test Of Knowing Him. 1 John 2:1-6. The title really says it all in this case, as far as what this sermon is all about. John simply, but powerfully, in this section of his first epistle, tells us that if you a person is really saved, so a real Christian, they will be obedient to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Today I talk about what some of these are, from the Bible, and we take a go...

Overview – Be Holy For I Am Holy. 1 John 1:5-10. John has some news to tell us in this section about a message that Jesus Christ gave about God when He walked on earth in the flesh. That message: God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all. But that is not the only message John has for us today. He also tells us that since God is light, those who profess Him are supposed to walk in the li...

Overview - Jesus Christ - The Word Of Life, But Do You Doubt? 1 John 1:1-4. In my sermon today I taught the first four verses of John’s first epistle, or letter. And in these very powerful first words of John’s epistle, John gives us some of THE most powerful I-witness testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ that anyone has ever given since He came to earth, almost 2,000 years ago. John absolutely give...

Overview – The Unknown God. Acts 17:16-27. Paul is preaching in Athens while he is waiting for Timothy and Silas to come to Him because his spirit is provoked within him. His spirit is provoked within him because he sees that the people of the city are given over to idols. In the midst of Paul’s preaching God drops a divine appointment in his lap as some philosophers hear him preaching Jesus Chris...

Overview - The Touch of Christ. Matthew Ch. 8:1-4. In our sermon today we take an in depth look at a leper who comes to Jesus Christ with an impossible request, and how Jesus responds to him, and what He does to fulfill this man's request. How does this leper come to Christ? And does Jesus cast him off, because He is too busy, or does He respond favorably? Come and check out the sermon and see wha...

Overview – When All Forsook Me, The Lord Stood With Me. 2 Tim 4:11-22. In my sermon today we study the last words of Paul to Timothy in his second book. Paul is in prison in Rome, and Tim is about to come and visit him, and Paul closes this letter with some is requests, some bad news, and a warning for Timothy once he gets into Rome, near where Paul is staying. I touch on the requests that Paul ma...

Overview – The Crown Of Righteousness. 2 Timothy 4:5-10. In our sermon today Paul encourages Timothy to keep being faithful to, and finish the ministry that God had given him to do, and he writes this to in light of how he had been faithful to finish the race for Jesus Christ, and was now at the end of his life. Timothy was in need of continuing to be faithful to Jesus Christ, Paul was at the end...

Overview – The Gospel Without Repentance. (The church of the last days) 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Today we start the beginning of the last chapter of 2 Timothy, but we study the last day’s church, where the people will bring in a Gospel of Jesus Christ without repentance, or a Gospel according to their own desires. Why is repentance so important to the Gospel? Can someone have eternal salvation without rep...

Overview – The Perilous Last Days. 2 Timothy 3:10-17. Paul tells Timothy in this section of scripture, that evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived, in speaking of the last days. I believe that we are in the last days that Paul spoke of in this section, right now, April 2016. Who exactly is Jesus Christ according to the Bible? Do you know what the Bible reall...

Overview - The Last Days Religious Impostors. 2 Timothy 3:1-9. In our sermon today we read some more of Pau’s letter to Timothy. This time he writes to him in regards to the last days, or the days that proceed the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He tells us that these days will be very perilous, or evil. And he says that these days will be this way because of the very evil people that...

Overview – Love Is Not Optional. 2 Timothy 2:22-26. Jesus said in John 13:34 - A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. In our sermon today, we read the words that Paul wrote to Timothy on how to accomplish this in the way Christians respond to one another, along with how we should respond to those who don’t believe. Paul teac...

Overview- His Death Brought Forgiveness, His Resurrection Brought New Life, But Is It All True? Matthew 27:45-50, and Acts 2:22-24. Happy resurrection day everyone, He is risen indeed!!! In my sermon today I give first billing to none other than Jesus Christ, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, of course, as He is worthy of our attention first of all. For if He had not given His life on the cross to...

Overview – Be Diligent To Present Yourself Approved To God. 2 Timothy 2:14-21. So far in this chapter of 2 Timothy, Paul has really been focusing on teaching Timothy how a Christian is supposed to live their lives, and the type of focus on Christ that they are really supposed to have in their lives. Today in this sermon I cover Paul’s words to timothy in regards to the holiness of the words that c...
