Sermon: The Nature of the Christian’s Assurance

A proper understanding of why the Christian has hope will dispel much of the religious error surrounding the concept, and will benefit the child of God by increasing his assurance based upon his faith in God.

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.

Pitfalls are traps set by Satan, that are not always immediately evident. Satan makes his enticements seem sometimes innocent, and always enticings. We must be on Guard, because:

  • Dancing is a Pitfall
  • Evil Companionship is a Pitfall
  • Fault Finding is a Pitfall

Sermon: Teaching the Plan of Salvation

While many believe the Bible to be difficult to understand, thus making their opinion (no matter how uniformed) as valid as any other, in reality the Bible is very simple and clear with regard to God’s plan of Salvation for man. The sermon covers a simple method of converting the sinner to Christ, using Acts 2 as a narrative.

Sermon: Thanksgiving

We should not set just one day aside for thanksgiving to God. Rather, we should always, every day be and express our thanks to God. Thanksgiving improves:

  • Our perspective about Ourselves
  • Our perspective about our Things
  • Our perspective about our God

Thanksgiving helps to keep us from arrogance, greed and worry.

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.
