The basis of the Christian’s assurance is NOT:

  • Predestination
  • Experiences (Emotions)
  • Good Works

Rather, the basis of the Christian’s assurance is the promises of God.

Sermon: Obstacles to a Relationship with God

The Sermon points out, It isn’t possible to have a relationship with God:

  • If you don’t know about Him.
  • If you refuse to Repent.
  • If you neglect Obedience.
  • If you reject Jesus Christ.
  • If you don’t listen to, or talk to Him.

Stated Positively: If you will seek to learn about God and know Him; if you will acknowledge your sin and repent; let faith and love produce obedience; trust in Christ, listen to God and pray to Him — You can enjoy a relationship with your Creator, that begins here on earth and is consummated in eternity.

Sermon: Self-Righteousness

The Sermon uses the text of Isaiah 65:1-7 as a warning against Self-Righteousness. We must not trust in ourselves, do our work to be seen of men, or be guilty of hypocrisy, which often accompanies Self-Righteousness. Having said that, Self-Righteousness is NOT:

  • Obeying God’s Law
  • Zeal and Dedication
  • Reproving and Rebuking Sin
  • Believing God’s Word to be Authoritative and Absolute

Rather than being Self-Righteous, we must submit to the righteousness of God.
