Sermons About Religious
What about Other Religions?
A symptom of the culture in which we live is that truth is often perceived as opinion. So, one of the big objections people have to Christianity is that it's too exclusive, because of its authoritative claims. "How can Jesus be the ONLY way to heaven?" or "Aren't all religions equally valid?" are two common doubts about Christianity. This week we'll examine these doubts and why they, too, must be doubted. Then, we'll see what distinguishes Jesus from all world-religions

Guilt and Grace
Because the perfect justice of God and the perfect grace of God met at the cross of Jesus Christ, we can be declared innocent before God; made right with God and reconciled to Him.

Superstitious Service
We are trying to paint a picture of a real life of worship … in every area. Sadly enough, many of us leave worship at the door of the chapel and put on performance at the door of service. News Flash! God doesnt need your service. He doesnt depend on our best efforts and doesnt delight in our performing for Him. We make our serving superstitious religion when we operate out of guilt and duty and it always results in a joyless, tiring exercise of futility. Giving service that is worship begins with receiving the grace God ever lives to supply, and the strength He never tires to pour out. Quit serving … and Worship!

Lost
One of the amazing things about Jesus was that even though He was a religious person, He spent very little time with religious people. Although He was a righteous person, He always spent time with unrighteous people. And even though Jesus claimed to have come from God, He spent very little time pursuing relationships with godly people. Why was Jesus so attracted to people who were nothing like Him? And why were people who were nothing like Him so attracted to Jesus? I believe the answer to that question will determine out future at oneChurch.

John 11:45-47 The Tyranny of the Convenient and the Gift of Grace
It is God who is sovereignly working behind the scenes to use evil for His own glory. He is working to re-center self-centered people on the only center worth living for, God Himself. How often do we reject God for our own convenient reasons, and then justify them with solid reasoning? The religious establishment saw a man raised from the dead, and still had hearts that looked to their own convenience, and places of power. “The Romans will come and take away our place (Their religion) and our nation” (Their Ethnic Identity).
