All Things New1/5/2019 See answers below!
1. True or False: A born again believer is just a sinner saved by grace 2. True or False: You are a being made up of three parts 3. True or False: Many Christians receive Christ, but fail to believe and become 4. True or False: Being made new means no further adjustments need to be made 5. True or False: New Years Resolutions are the answer. ANSWERS: 1. False. A born again believer WAS a sinner saved by grace. Now he or she is a new creation, and the core of their being is righteous in Christ. 2. True. You are spirit, soul, and body. It is the spirit that is made new in Christ. Now the soul and body have to be transformed by the renewing of the mind. 3. True. Many accept Jesus and agree with Him on a doctrinal level, but fail to live out what they claim to believe. Therefore they never become children of God (John 1:12). 4. False. Just like correcting the date on a check at the beginning of the new year, we often have to make adjustments to our actions to get in line with the reality that we have become new in Christ. 5. False. I recommend New Year Reminders instead of resolutions. Remind yourself often the truths about God's love, and who you are in Christ. Remind yourself that you are no ordinary person in Him. You are a new creature!

What Do You Expect?12/27/2018 What do you expect? A blog? Sermon notes? What would you like to see happen here?
Here are the points for the sermon: What Do You Expect? 1. What we expect affects how we will live. The Christian life should not be business as usual. 2. The disciples told Nathanael that the ONE whom the prophets spoke of had finally come. The expectation of the centuries 3. Nathanael's expectations needed to be corrected. And ours often need to be corrected. "Come and see!" 4. Jesus didn't rebuke, but commended. Do we expect grace? Do we have righteousness by faith, or are we still working to earn it? 5. Greater things than these! Can we really expect God to use us? |
