Sermons About Conversion
FAITH ON FIRE; Evidence of Your Salvation, Part 5
When you die will you spend eternity with God? Why? How do you know? Can you know?These are the ultimate questions we consider. Are we sure of our salvation or are we trusting in false assurances? Consider Paul's conversion experience and our own.

Freedom from Sin: How the Gospel Still Affects Us ALL
Have you ever wrestled with sin to a great degree? Or have you ever wrestled with the same sin over and over again? Or have you ever turned your back on Christ for a period of your life and regularly lived in sin? Chances are, you have experienced the reality of one of these questions. Yet the entire 6th chapter of Romans declares that Christians are dead to sin. What could that mean? Even true, godly Christians struggle to become more like Christ. Today we will look at how this Gospel message of freedom continues to affect Christians even after their conversion.

Getting People to Take Their Medicine
It has been said that the church is to be a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If the church is a hospital, what kind of medicine does it offer and how can it persuade patients to take it? Just as in every area of life, Jesus is our example here. He excelled in getting people to hear and accept what God had to say to them. He led many people to complete change and healing. What was his secret weapon? Key Verses: Lk 5:27-32, Matt 28:18, Lk 7:36-39, Matt 19:16-22, Eph 2:8-12, John 16:7-14, Lk 19:1ff, 1John 4:8

Why the Local Church? (Ephesians 4:11-16)
In God's design, the local church is to serve as 1) a place to hear God's word preached and applied in a systematic way; 2) a place to put our commitment to God, and to one another, into practice; 3) a context for us to mature; 4) a place to discover and practice our ministry and spiritual gifts with perspective and leadership; 5) a protection from doctrinal error; 6) a place to demonstrate the gospel; and 7) a place to preserve and cultivate the fruit of the gospel.

Analyzing Authenticity (Romans 2:17-29)
Paul challenges his readers not to base our confidence before God in our religious pedigree, family history, bible knowledge, Christian education, or any other experience or practice. There are many good things we ought to pursue, but there is a danger in craving man's approval rather than God's, and none of these things will secure our standing before God. Our only hope is the gospel, pleading for mercy rather than justice, and trusting in Christ's dying for sinners. Once we have trusted, we are freed to do good works rightly -- not so that we can be saved, but out of love and gratitude, as an overflow of our changed hearts. The essence of a true Christian is a changed heart.
