Sermons on Salvation (Page 5)
Going Astray (Matthew 18:12-14)
Jesus loves. Not only does He love, He loves, deeply and sacrificially. He will go to any length to bring back someone who has strayed.
Three Certainties (Luke 2:22-38)
Pastor Bruce uses the backdrop of the infant Jesus’ first visit to the temple to explain three certainties about God.
Looking for Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)
Jesus is the One who is the beginning and end of our faith. To truly honor Him we must allow Him to lead in all that we do.
No More Rehearsals (Hebrews 9:11-15)
God originally commanded Israel to observe the Day of Atonement every year. But with Jesus’ coming and His sacrifice, the Day of Atonement has been rendered obsolete. It is obsolete because Jesus, our High Priest, gave Himself on the cross of Calvary. He alone atoned for the sin of the world. This ushered in a new way of relating with God. No longer would worship only be “skin deep.” Now God would inhabit the hearts of those who put their…
What’s Next (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
It’s easy to become concerned about the future. We see this world becoming increasingly more violent and hate-filled. Actions and attitudes that would have shocked most people a generation ago are now accepted and even commonplace. This decline in our society has caused many to wonder what’s coming next. They ask, “Can the end be far off?” The apostle Paul answers that question in 2 Thessalonians. He also gives encouragement to believers in his time and ours.
What’s Your First Sentence? (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
Just as in Jeremiah’s day, people today value skill, power, and riches above just about everything else. In fact, many put their trust in these whether they possess them or someone else does. But where our trust and glory should rest is in our relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. All of this will pass away. But God and His righteousness are eternal.
The Value of Your Testimony (1 Timothy 1:12-14)
The apostle Paul had an amazing testimony. We read it not once but several times in Scripture. Charlie Whitcomb uses Paul’s testimony as an encouragement for each of us to praise the Lord for our salvation.
Free Indeed (Colossians 1:13-14)
We were all born with a sin nature. Not only does this make us do wrong things, it enslaves us to sin. Jesus came to free us from that bondage. Through His death and resurrection those who trust in Him for salvation have been rescued from the power and influence of sin. God transfers us from the darkness of sin to His glorious kingdom.
The Lord is My Shepherd (Psalm 23)
The 23rd Psalm is one of the most beloved chapters of Scripture. Guest speaker Charlie Whitcomb gives a verse by verse explanation of this psalm.
God’s Go-Live Date (1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
God planned before time began to send Jesus to save the world from sin. The Old Testament both shows how far into sin mankind can go. But it also is chock full of prophecies concerning the coming Messiah. Pastor Bruce gives a brief review of God’s dealings with humanity through the Old Testament and why Jesus had to come to save us.
