Do you really have your hope in God? Has coming to a life in Christ really changed you? These are important questions you need to answer in your own heart. It is one thing to be convinced of the need for a new life, but quite another thing to live a new life. Confess your sins, yield to God and be filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit…no other combination will work. Oh, you can have some beneficial behavior modification on your own, but that will not change your heart and inner motives. Those areas are broken by virtue of your physical birth, which was into the broken Adam nature. Deep and lasting change will only occur when you have a “birth” into the nature of God. Yes, hope in God and expect the changes to manifest. [Scripture References: Colossians 1:27, Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 1:3] (Listen to entire sermon below.) If you have never put your complete faith in Jesus Christ for your eternal salvation, why not believe what God's word says and call on Jesus Christ to save you right now?

Are you a “giver” or a “taker” for God and each other? Our sermon today will, hopefully, cause you to understand how very important you are to the full function of God’s work on earth. Yeah, you! The whole idea of the Christian walk is not to have some religion to run to in time of trouble; not to have some mumbo-jumbo mystic give you comfort in the midst of your storms. No—the Christian walk is just that…a walk with Christ! Remember, though, you can’t be a part of His work unless you are a part of the Body of Christ. Let Him inside your heart, not just in your head. If He’s just in your head, it’s only information; when He’s in your heart—that’s transformation. Let Him transform you from “gimme, gimme, gimme” to “glory, glory, glory”!

God says that, “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” (Romans 6:23) Wow – what a crummy employer that pays you with death!!! – separation from God FOREVER! If you work for sin, you are hooked on such a cruel master. On the other hand, God doesn’t “pay” you to work for Him; it’s voluntary on your part, and a free gift on His part. This free gift is eternal life. You can’t earn it, buy it or barter for it; for if you could, then it wouldn’t be a FREE GIFT, now would it? We need to understand a few basics: eternal means it never ceases. Also, the basic concept here involves union…coming together with something as one. Physical Life: UNION of body and soul — human birth Spiritual Life: UNION of soul and God — new birth-born again Eternal Life: Eternal UNION of soul and God — final stop You unite with God in Christ = gift of eternal life Jesus knew exactly what He was getting into – a painful, excruciating death…a cost that cost Him everything…right up to and including His life. Stop and think now – it cost YOU NOTHING…NADA, but it cost God everything and cost Jesus His life. The wages of sin is death – separation from God – SEPARATES. The gift of eternal life – UNION with God – UNITES. I rest my case! Romans 5:8 gives us the heart of the atonement: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Court adjourned!

© www.123rf.com We are facing some very important times ahead – for our country, the world, and each one of us individually. Choices are going to need to be made that will determine more than we can imagine. These choices will have an impact on each and every aspect of our everyday lives. How we determine what the correct choices are is of paramount concern. In order to make these decisions, we must know and be able to recognize what is true and what is not (discernment). But how do we do this? What do we look for? Where can the truth be found? Jesus is the Light of the world, and in His Word, the truth can be found. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12) “But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” (John 3:21) If you have never put your complete faith in Jesus Christ for your eternal salvation, why not believe what God's word says and call on Jesus Christ to save you right now?
