Sermons About Believer
Who is Your Father?
As we open again to the gospel of John, chapter 8, we see the pride that the Jewish people had in their ancestry. When confronted about their sin and need for a Savior, they continually fell back on the idea that they were “children of Abraham.” The confrontation we find between Jesus and the unbelieving Jewish religious leaders reached this point of hostility back in John 5, when Jesus had the audacity to heal a lame man, crippled for 38 years, on the Sabbath.

The Benefits of Believing and Belonging
The influences of individualism, privatism, pluralism, relativism, and anti-institutionalism in our society today has convinced many people that they can believe in God without belonging to His Body. Today’s message will focus on six benefits that are forfeited by believers who hold to such a philosophy. The acronym BELONG will help us remember what God’s Word teaches us about the values added to the lives of those who commit themselves to Christ’s Body-the Church, values that the Body of Christ is committed to providing because you can’t get them anywhere else! Identifies B in Christ (Ephesians 2:19). Provides E________________ (Hebrews 10:24-26). A place to L______________ (I Corinthians 12:4-7). O___________ protection (Hebrews 13:7) N____________ us through life (Ephesians 4:16) Accountability for G_____________ Colossians 3:16) BELONG!

Awaken
Our theme for Student Ministries this year is AWAKEN. If we are honest with ourselves, we have been asleep in many ways. Many of us as believers are sleeping when it comes to living out and expressing our lives in Christ. In the book of Ephesians we are told who we once were apart from Christ: dead in our transgressions, separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship, foreigners without hope, aliens living in darkness. But through the blood of Christ we have redemption and have been brought near to Him. We have been reconciled. We are alive, no longer foreigners and aliens we are now children of God and are living in the light. When we truly see how fortunate we are as believers in Christ coming from darkness into the light we can truly appreciate, how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18-19).
