    Sinners Saved Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,693 views

    The good news of the Gospel is that sinners can be saved. The apostle Paul held himself up as the example of the worst of sinners who had been saved by the grace of God. If he could be saved, then anyone can be saved!

    Introduction: A. Let me begin with an example of one of those commercials whose message seems too good to be true: “Picture a man…he has a bright smile, healthful glow…he is holding up a pair of gigantic blue jeans. 1.

    Jesus gave His disciples a commission to go and preach; to not only do good deeds, but use words. He would provide them food, clothing, and shelter for their journey, and the Spirit would guide them to those receptive to the gospel.

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this will be Part 2. The word “extra-ordinary” means “outside, above and beyond the ordinary,” which is what we saw in our last message, when Jesus gave His disciples “power over unclean spirits” (Matthew 10:1); and ...read more

    John calls "love one another" a command old and new. Love turns on the light. It is imperative for Christians to walk in the light of love.

    Love, the Guiding Light I John 2:7-11 INTRO.: Love is a very popular idea in today’s world. We distort and misinterpret it, but it is on everyone’s lips.

    Jesus extends three invitations ¡V the disciples are drawn closer and closer to Him with each one ¡V and the intimacy and responsibility grow deeper each time.
