    In this sermon we examine some reliable evidences of saving faith.

    Scripture In our study of Romans we have observed that Paul has emphatically insisted that we come into a right relationship with God only by his grace and not through our own effort.

    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

    Examining what is God’s purpose for the Jewish nation

    What about the Jews? (Rom 11) When re read the bible, we often see it as two sections. After all, we have divided it up as such – Old Testament and New Testament.

    There were those who were deserting the gospel of Grace to the false teaching of salvation by works.

    The law and the Lord. Galatians 3:15 -- 25. 11/14/04 The theme of the book of Galatians is that when you are born-again, you are set free.

    . Paul has already made it clear that there must be an inward change of heart and obedience to the law, and that mere external observances can never save a lost sinner. Now Paul proceeds to show how Abraham was pronounced righteous before he was circumc

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The flesh is a built-in law of failure, making it impossible for the natural man to please or serve God.

    In this passage Paul lists three great blessing of our justification: Peace with God, Access to God, and Glorious Hope of being with God.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Recently I read the biography of Norman Grubb, a missionary in Africa, and the leader of his mission for 30 years. I was struck by what he wrote: "At conversion we learned that we had not done what we should, but then we soon learn that of ourselves we cannot do what we ...read more
