For this morning, we want to open our Bibles again to the eighth chapter of Romans as we continue to take a look at the ministry of the Holy Spirit. I’ve been so blessed and so encouraged to be looking at the Holy Spirit and His ministry in the life of the believer. I am so grateful for the response that I am getting from you. Many personal responses from people who have come…
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.…
I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I don’t think about my sin, I found this especially true yesterday… I mean I have this wonderful glorious gospel that has saved me and sealed me for future glory with Christ… I am saved from the wrath of God, yet I still sin, then it always hits me and it takes awhile for me to remember that I was saved by grace,…
Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. John 17:17 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; 1 Thessalonians 4:3 True sanctification does not consist in outward formalism and external devoutness. This is an enormous delusion, but unhappily a very common one. Thousands appear to imagine that true holiness is to be seen in an excessive quantity of bodily religion,–in constant attendance on Church services, reception of the Lords Supper, and observance of…
I always look forward to Sunday school and teaching the book of Romans, as you know we’re going through this book verse-by-verse and some times word-by-word. The past few Sunday school classes have been special for me, even the weeks preparing the study, we’re in the section of Romans 3 that most theologians consider the greatest paragraph in the bible, which I believe has one of the greatest words in the bible, of course…
I few weeks back I posted a sermon from Dr. MacArthur titled Reclaiming the Worship of the Holy Spirit and had planned to show this one next… Spirit-Filled Living, but wanted to get Philippians 2:12,13 explained with clarity here, so today on MacArthur Monday we have Spirit-Filled Living Ephesians 5:18-21. MacArthur writes: You know, sometimes…well, not sometimes, most of the time people think that I overdo the teaching of the Word of God and…
Docudrama on the life of the Prince of Preachers It was Methodist but I was to cold to care, but little did he know it was God! I love these from Spurgeon…. “The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own.” “Saving faith is an immediate…
The first temptation recorded in Scripture is an attack on the trustworthiness of God’s Word. Such attacks have continued unabated to our own day. In the past, such attacks were usually made by liberals, but today we hear more and more doubts cast upon God’s Word by professed evangelicals. In this lecture, Dr. Steven Lawson reminds us of the importance of a commitment to the authority, inspiration, and inerrancy of Scripture. From the 2011…
It seems I haven’t talked much about how the Romans study on Sunday mornings are going, just wanted to fill you in a little. We are in Romans 3:25, but before I share some thoughts about that verse I came across as I was studying and preparing for class, I wanted to share where we have been. We learned that Paul keeps his point going in Romans 2:17-29 with a Q&A session, with an imaginary…
Yesterday I mentioned Let Go and Let God and why it’s a bad Idea, well here is a lecture series from Andy Naselli where you will find a Powerpoint presentation, handouts, and all the MP3s from a lecture he did back in 2008. I found this lecture series to be a huge help and to clarify what I had already known about the second blessing, deeper life and Keswick Theology. “What is “let-go-and-let-God” theology?…
