Gospel Change

Various Texts
For different reasons, we don’t like change. But there is a change that is good. It comes about as God works upon our souls to transform us into the likeness of his Son. As he does this in one life after another, the church as a whole will be transformed. That’s because the church isn’t an institution; it’s the people of God. For example, not only will I have a distaste for pride in my own life, but also I’ll begin to humbly serve others in the church. As God transforms one, two, or three of the people in a church, then the whole church begins to change. God works this transformation within the Body by his Spirit through his Word.

God’s Glory

1 Timothy 1:12-17
Paul said that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” We are all sinners and He came into the world to save us, we have done nothing that he won’t forgive us for, all we have to do is ask, then He will receive the glory for saving us. In all things that we do, God should receive the glory.

God’s Unrelenting Love Towards Sinful People

Hosea
Hosea gives us a picture of God’s incredible love for His people. In this overview of the entire book of Hosea, we see that sin against God is compared with the sin of adultery. And we see that though we have been deceived by sin and rebelled against a good and holy God, God still loved us and came to us so that we could be restored back into relationship with Him and be called “Children of the Living God.”

Do You Believe This?

John 11:17-27
The words Jesus spoke to Martha on the road outside Bethany were audacious and revolutionary. They called her to a radical trust in a unique person. Examining what Jesus said that day forces us to examine the overall biblical framework of the verb commonly translated “to believe”, in gradations of meaning ranging from simple acceptance of a statement to total trust. Thereby, these words of Jesus call us today to a radical trust and obedience, and address each of us anew: Do you believe this?

He Was Taken Up

Acts 1:1-11

The gospel of Christ includes not only his death and resurrection, but also his return to heaven, where he is seated in power. While Luke describes the day of his return to heaven by saying, “he was taken up,” it is not his main point of emphasis. Instead, Luke wants to describe an important transition between the earthly ministry of Jesus and the earthly ministry of the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, we’ll see why the ministry of the Spirit is important, and what it means for the church that remains here on earth.

The Stone Had Been Taken Away

John 20:1-18

Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early in the morning and saw a few remarkable things, but she didn’t understand what had happened. Even though she was the first person to see the risen Christ, she only recognized him when he revealed himself to her. It wasn’t until the Good Shepherd called his sheep by name that she was able to hear and follow.
