SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – GENEROUS GRACE AND INCREDIBLE LOVE.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the "law" that requires faith. For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from observing the law. - Romans 3:27-28. TNIV

God's Salvation leaves us no room for boasting, for we could not live up to the righteous demands of the Law.

When we are broken and sinful, God purchases our salvation by sending Jesus, and allowing Him to pay the debt for our sin.

We have nothing to boast about, except the overwhelmingly generous grace of God, and the incredible sacrificial love of our Saviour, Jesus. Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Loving Father, I thank you for redeeming me from the righteous judgment of the Law. Thank you, Jesus, for paying the debt for my sins. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for cleansing me and making me holy. Thank you, Lord, for your generous grace and incredible love. In the wonderful and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.

SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – DON’T BE A STUMBLING BLOCK.

But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do. Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. - 1 Corinthians 8:8-9.

We have incredible liberty under grace.

H owever, our liberty never gives us the right to destroy a weak brother or sister's walk with the Lord. Let's use our liberty caringly, especially toward our new brothers and sisters in Christ.

These new Christians need our encouragement; they already have enough stumbling blocks!

Loving Father, I thank you for your abundant grace. Help me by the power of the Holy Spirit, to be an encouragement, and a good example to new Christians, also to those who are weak in theirfaith. Help me guard my life from being a bad example to others. In the wonderful and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.

SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – PRAISE GOD FOR THE LAW!

So the law was put in charge of us until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. - Galatians 3:24. TNIV

The book of Galatians reminds us again and again, that law cannot make us righteous or save us, not even the Old Testament Law.

However, the Law does one very important thing, it leads us to Christ. We recognise right and wrong because of the Law. We also recognise our failures, imperfections, sins, transgressions, and weaknesses, because of the Law, but most of all, we recognise our need for a Saviour because of the Law.

Praise God for the Law, and praise God a thousand times more for Jesus!

Loving Father, We thank you that you gave us the law, so that we would recognise that we needed a Saviour. Thank you that you sent your dear son Jesus, so that we could be saved. We praise you Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.
