Friend of God - Part 4
It is a very powerful thing when someone chooses to call you, “friend”… especially when the one choosing to be your friend is the maker of everything in Heaven and on Earth. The scriptures say volumes about friendship. Pastor Robert takes us to just a few key friendship passages such as, Ecclesiastic 4:7-12, Proverbs 17:17, 18:29 and finally Jeremiah 9:23-24a which leads us to discover the one thing God says it’s ok to brag about.

The Promises of God
The Promises of God! Ephesians, chapter 2 1: And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2: Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4: But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5: Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Sacred Obsession: Galatians 6.11-18
As Paul closes his letter to the churches at Galatia we see his obsession. His obsession is the cross of Jesus. This is the thing he loves, reviles in, boasts in, rejoices in, and lives for. It is what he preached - its message, triumph, offense and wonder. It meant the world to him. It was truly his obsession. He considered everything else loss compared to it. What is your obsession?

The Perils of Pride
Why is pride such an abomination in the sight of God? Pride glorifies self not God, pride divides people. The law of faith- in Christ the law is fulfilled. Jesus became accursed for us so that we can be free from the curse. Why is faith so important? Faith kills pride. We're to boast in the Lord. We don't have anything that we didn't receive from God.

What To Be Proud Of
The Apostle Paul had many accomplishments in life that he could have boasted about. But according to this verse, Paul said that he only wanted to boast about the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. The One who died on that cross meant everything to Paul.
