Sermons About Salvation
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

Essentials Part 2
The gospel and truth is under continual attack by Satan who sends out false teachers, false shepherds, false apostles and false prophets to wage war against the church, God’s people.

We will also speak to the essentials of the church. These are the things that we will have a close hand on as we have an open hand to the culture around us.

The Great Salvation
Guest speaker Earl Cripe - Retired pastor, author and Bible commentator. Hebrews 2:3 - the great salvation is more than just being saved from eternal condemnation. We are justified by Christ work, saved from our sins, and will, in the future, be saved from the very presence of sin. We are , however, expected to live a sanctified life here on earth for His glory.

A Learning Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Easter 2008 - Unexpected Hope
Nearly two thousand years ago the scared and dejected followers of Jesus were told on a Sunday morning that their beloved leader, who had been brutally executed three days before, had risen from the dead. They were all incredulous and did not believe the account until Jesus came to them, and they saw his scars and felt his wounds. The reality of the resurrected Christ changed these followers from timid men who were mainly concerned with their own status into people who would boldly proclaim the greatness of Christ to all regardless of what it cost them. They could do this because the same God who rose up out of His grave promised them that if they believed in Him He would bring them up out of their graves to spend eternity with Him. This great promise is extended to everyone in the world and we too can rise and be with Christ forever if we trust in Him.

Blessings Overflow
Paul as an apostle had been given some special privileges such as extraordinary revelations. According to verse 7, to keep him in perspective and enable him to grow spiritually, God gave him a thorn in the flesh. With such a language, Paul was obviously referring to a physical affliction that God has allowed for him to have. He pleaded for God to remove it; instead the response He got from God was the assurance of sufficient grace.

Ressurection Power
Our salvation, our victory, our healing, our prosperity, our everything is in that crucifixion and resurrection. Because in that, the devil was defeated, Jesus triumphed over him, and we triumphed over him with Jesus. There’s enough power in the crucifixion to raise up any man. All can be saved through this power. Also, anything of God in our lives, any area of faith, can be resurrected through the power of God. There’s enough power in the crucifixion to remove anything that would keep us from God. There’s enough power in the resurrection to take us up and out of our situations and circumstances and put us over them all.

Respond
We all have a choice in life how we respond to God. In this Easter message we look at the story of the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Cross. We see how Judas, the disciples, and the thieves on the cross responded to Jesus. How will you respond? Will you choose faith and obedience, or will you choose to live life rejecting Christ?

Freely and Fully Forgiven
The heart of Christianity is God’s willingness to forgive the sins of man. When man because of pride and arrogance has decided to turn his back from God and began living for himself breaking His laws, he has invited curse and condemnation upon himself. Yet, despite of everything, God made a way so He can provide forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

Why Save Me?
I believe that if there is an area where we should really be amazed with God, it is in His exercise of grace towards us. John Newton gave a wonderful testimony about this grace when he wrote the popular hymn, Amazing Grace. From his own account, he considered himself unworthy of any favor from the Lord because of his sinfulness. Prior to coming to know Jesus as his personal savior, he was a captain of a slave ship; he brought so many captured slaves from Africa who were sold in England. But by God’s amazing grace, not only was he saved, he became one of the leading Anglican ministers of his time.

In a Little While
What do you ask God for when you pray? When Jesus told his disciples that the Father would grant them “anything” that they asked, he was speaking within the context of praying for wisdom and understanding concerning his coming crucifixion. Resist the temptation of praying for earthly, material things and instead pray for God’s spiritual wisdom. Pray that you grasp the importance of his death on the cross for you and how that event impacts your life today. He promises that this will bring you joy that no one can ever take away!

The Way of Salvation: Part 3 (Romans 3:25-26)
Jesus is the sacrificial propitiation for our sins. Propitiation is the turning away of another's wrath. In Jesus's propitiating sacrifice, we see demonstrated our sin, God's just wrath against sin, our alienation from God, and the one perfect offering of sufficient worth to remove our guilt. Jesus demonstrates God's perfect justice in bearing the punishment for our sin, and he demonstrates God's perfect love in making a way for us to be reconciled to him in spite of our sin. How good of God!

A Whole New You
Every single person on this planet has done things in their past about which they are not proud. As painful as this may be, God wants us to remember our past - even though He forgets previous wrongdoings - so that we can appreciate how far He's brought us. God wants to give us each a new beginning with Christ, who can wipe away our slate, forgive us of our stupid decisions, and help us become the kind of person He wants us to be.

Brand New, Again
Jesus got to the heart of His mission to seek and save the lost when He told Nicodemus about the new birth. He made it clear that everybody needs a spiritual rebirth, if they want to see God. As strange as it may sound, the question that Jesus answered is just as important for us today as it was for Nicodemus almost 2,000 years ago. We need to know what it means to be born again and we need to do whatever is necessary to be made brand new, again.

The Way of Salvation: Part 1 (Romans 3:21-22)
This passage serves as a key turning point in Paul's letter to the Romans. Until now he has been demonstrating our sinfulness before God, the fact that we have nothing to commend ourselves to God, and that we cannot possibly do anything to earn God's favor. Now Paul shifts to show how we can receive God's favor and mercy -- through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus becomes not simply our advocate, but he becomes our substitute, taking upon himself our sins and punishment and giving us his righteousness -- a righteousness that comes only through him. The faith that receives this gift of righteousness is a faith that knows the gospel, believes the gospel, and entrusts ourselves to Christ.

Jesus the Foundation of Genuine Faith
Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. Everything we do is built and founded upon who He is and what He has done for us on the cross. In light of this we are called with the same command that Jesus repeated throughout His ministry on earth to the people He encountered: “follow me.” People can stumble over the idea of following Jesus for a number of reasons. Some people don’t believe in the supernatural, some don’t want to admit that they are sinners in need of salvation, and others consider the cost of following Christ as too high. Those that do follow though are being built up into a spiritual house that honors Him by praising and serving Him.

A Warning Label (1 Corinthians 2:6-16)
Paul contrasts divine wisdom with human wisdom. Divine wisdom is distinct from, cannot be reconciled with, and is ultimately opposed to human wisdom. Divine wisdom has a divine origin rather than a human origin: it is revealed by the Holy Spirit and not discerned by man's efforts. Divine wisdom is rooted in and revealed in the gospel and the cross. The cross provokes us to humility and gratitude.

Cleaning House
Believers need to keep their lives and the church holy to God. There are many lessons to be learned from the story about Jesus cleaning house at the Temple. If we consider that God replaced the Temple with a new one in the New Testament, we get a different perspective on cleaning house today. We learn that Jesus always wants to keep God's Temple clean, even in our times.

God Is Able!
The person who limits God simply does not know God! The one who reads the Word of God and scoffs at what is recorded there does not know the power of God Almighty! The Scriptures tell us that "With God all things are possible" that He has "All power in heaven and earth". And God is able!

The Eucharist and The Emperor's New Clothes
The story of the Emperor's New Clothes is very similar to the catholic church's requirement to belive that you must believe that the eucharist is necessary for salvation. They require that the sacraments are necessary for salvation and say that only a validly ordained priest can change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. We must ask: does the Bible say communion is for the Presence or Rememberence of Christ? What does the Bible say about Christ's sacrifice? Is it a continual sacrifice or is Jesus' one death enough? Due to the definitions of grace and receiving Christ, those words are misunderstood when used between protestants and catholics. A good question to ask a Roman Catholic is if they've come to the point in thir lives wehre they know tha
