Sermons About Works
John 5:19-47 Christ Revealed: Lord, Liar or Lunatic
Jesus speaks of the work that He was sent to do, which He was in the process of doing; such as the revealing of His father’s kingdom, which would be secured by His work on the cross. This is a clear calling to life in God’s kingdom, where His will is done and we, like Christ, obediently honor Him. This is the gospel and the reason we exist.

Acts 15:1-29 - Defending the Gospel of Grace
Paul and Barnabas returned to Jerusalem it discuss a brewing controversy in the church. A council was convened to determine if a man needed to be circumcised in order to be saved from his sins. Paul defended the truth of the Gospel that a man is saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and not by anything he does, and the apostles in the council affirmed this. Peter and James then laid down some rules to help Gentile believers not offend Jewish people. In the same way we must be able to cling to the Gospel of grace alone and grow in spiritual maturity while not adding not needlessly offending the people we are trying to reach and not burdening them with unnecessary rules and restrictions.

Jesus our Justifier
We are not saved by good works, but we are saved to do good works. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:8-10

Carson Daly is Wrong
Why be a good person? When asked, most people will answer "for me," "for others," or "for God." None of these is the right reason. Why be a good person then?
