    Justified By Faith Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 23, 2011
    based on 21 ratings
     | 25,779 views

    Justification by faith humbles man by excluding all grounds of boasting. Justification by faith also provides opportunity for all mankind to be saved but still upholds the value of the Law which we have all broke.

    ROMANS 3: 27-31 JUSTIFIED BY FAITH Praise God for His offer of forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ! Those who don’t take God up on His offer don’t truly see themselves as sinners in need of salvation. They make boasts such as: My good actions outweigh my bad. I’m ...read more

    It is funny how we think God should work. For some reason we seem to think that since God is the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present Creator of the universe – and anything else in existence – that he should do everything on a grand scale.

    Hard Work and Providence Ecclesiastes 11:1-8 Cascades Fellowship CRC, JX MI June 5, 2005 I am going to tell you one of my favorite stories this morning because it illustrates perfectly how many of us think about the relationship between what we do and what God does.

    There are two kinds of hearts in this world, those that reject Jesus and those who accept Him, these verses detail those two hearts and give us great insight on the person of Jesus.

    The Crucifixion – Luke 23:39-49 [ESV] Illegally arrested, unjustly tried and convicted, and brutally treated and tortured, Jesus was now hanging on a cross between two thieves sentenced to the same fate as him… death! The other men sentenced to die had been in the procession coming ...read more

    Hope is Jesus Christ.

    Text: “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you” (Psalm 39:7). What does the word “hope” means to us? When we hope for something, we are looking forward to something.

    World Hunger Sunday: God’s judgment will come on a people whose consumption habits oppress others and whose patriotism masks greed. But God will continue to send blessings on a people who will invest more in others.

    The laws of physics say that what goes up must come down. You pitch a rock into the air and right away it comes down with a thud. Hendricks throws a football in a long arc out over the New York Giant defenders and knows that it will come down, he hopes into the hands of Monk or Clark or Sanders who ...read more

    This is week four of our stewardship month and this week we are looking at gospel accounts of people who gave to Christ.

    When people talk about their giving you will often hear them speak about giving to the church or giving to God and sometimes about their gift to Jesus. And those are all valid expressions. I do feel that we give to God through the church and that our giving is an expression of love and obedience ...read more

    We are to order our priorities around those of Jesus and arrange our lives in the example of Jesus. The challenge of doing this in the face of the world is monumental to say the least. The answer to living the life Jesus calls us to live in small groups
