    Amazing Grace

     | 3,756 views

    Grace cannot exist until we come to the realization that we are helpless. When we submit to this fact then and only then can the grace of God work.

    AMAZING GRACE: ROMANS 5:6-10 If I was to poll this room to the percentage of the 10 commandments each of us have broken, we would find that each of us have broken most of them. This classifies us as sinners, and as sinners, a price must be paid for that sin. That price is the penalty of death. ...read more

    Ironic isn’t it? We can do so well in our Christian walk, we depend upon our Christian competencies rather than the Holy Spirit.

    Was Jesus kidding? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Come on, what does that mean? Certainly Jesus is speaking in metaphors, certainly Jesus is exaggerating, certainly Jesus means something else….. In the city of Jerusalem ...read more

    In this sermon we notice that Abraham was justified not by circumcision but rather by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture What does the word Yankee mean to you? Robert W. Mayer, in a Wall Street Journal article, writes, “To people in other parts of the world it simply means someone from the United States; to people in the United States it means someone from north of the Mason-Dixon Line; to us Northerners ...read more

    In this sermon we see that Abraham was not justified by circumcision or by the law; rather, he was justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 4:9-17: 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was ...read more
