    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,359 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

    Jesus said "on the third day I will rise." But did He? And how can we be confident of Christ's resurrection?

    The 53rd chapter of the Old Testament book of Isaiah is a powerful passage. For centuries Jewish Rabbis believed it talked about the coming Messiah. But they struggled with the message Isaiah 53 spoke of the Messiah as A SUFFERING SAVIOR: “He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we ...read more

     | 302 views

    Jeremiah looked at a scene of pathos – so many killed. He sees the LORD responsible for that but knew it was the unrepentant people’s fault. God was in great sadness over what happened to these people with faces harder than rock who did not repent.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 12 – CRUEL SLAUGHTER BECAUSE OF SIN – A DISTRAUGHT PROPHET – FACES HARDER THAN ROCK - CHAPTER 2:21-22 In the last message Jeremiah was lamenting the sad and horrifying condition of his people, and asking the LORD why He had done that.

    Our world creates a never ending cycle of always needing that one more thing to be accepted. Our church tells us we just need to do that one more thing to be good enough. Jesus just says come!

     | 5,365 views

    The old argument between Paul and James, faith or works, is really two sides of the same coin. Both are needed for a church’s life to be whole. Preached on a Sunday when members were asked to sign up for various ministries.

    The funny thing about arguments is that two people can use all the same information and can come out on exactly the opposite ends of the argument. Two different people, just because they are different personalities, can read the same data, hear all the same pros and cons, examine all the same ...read more

    The emphasis of the passage is on the dangers of perversity and the disastrous fate of its perpetrator. We here have a description of a person who deceives and stirs up strife & how to spot the scoundrel.

    PROVERBS 6: 12-15 PERVERSE PEOPLE SPREAD STRIFE [Genesis 37:29-35] What and how we communicate is important to God.

    Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Psalm 42:5a (NRSV) If I were going to give this message a subtitle it would come from what one of my friends wrote to me about my question: How does depression feel?
