Our Advocate

1 John 2: 1-2:
A. Jesus died for every sin. At times some churches and even some faith based people will make some sins better than others and some sins worse than other sins. However Jesus died for every sinner and to God sin is sin.
B. When we sin all we have to do is go to Jesus. If you have never placed your faith in Jesus the answer when you sin is to go to Jesus. If you are a follower of Jesus who have sinned the answer also is for you to go to Jesus.
C. A few days ago our Jewish friends had the day where they can be forgiven for their sins it is called Yom Kippur , the Day Of Atonement;. However Jewish people every year have to wait for that day to be forgiven for their sins from the past year. The Bible teaches through Jesus Christ we can be forgiven any day and any time of the year.

Jesus or the Ten Commandments

Galatians 3:1-14
A. Who are the rightness? We get the idea today that the rightness are people who have done super things but here the Bible tells us the rightness are those who know Jesus Christ. Those who have put their faith in Jesus to be their savior.
B. We need to take the true gospel to people. Too many churches and believers aren't doing this. We are waiting for them to come to us or to our churches which may never happen. Romans 10:17 says. Some people are going to churches that preach a false gospel. The true gospel is we all have sinned and come short of God’s glory. Christ died for us and rose to justify us. Who ever will call on Jesus to forgive their sins will be forgiven.
C. Often today you will hear something like this we are all children of God. That is not Bible. It would be Bible based to say we all creations of God but we are not all children now we can all be his children by receiving Jesus as our Savior.
D। The law the ten commandments were given to us not to save us. I heard this speaker who is big on the pro Lordship salvation side which I won’t get into now say the law is the best thing God has given us. I am sorry that is not correct. The ten commandments were given to us to show us our need for Christ. Lets says you are having some kind issue with a part of your body and you go to the doctor. He takes a x-ray . Does the X-ray solve your problem or taken away the pain nope it just shows what is wrong. So are you going to say I am so glad for the X-ray machine because it solved the problem you might be glad because the x-ray machine showed the problem but I am sure you are more thankful for the meds the doctor gave you or the cooperation he performed you because those things more likely solved the problem . The x- ray machine just showed what the problem was. It is the same with the ten commandments they just show us our spiritual problem that we are sinners. They don’t solve the problem or take away our sin.

4th of July and True Freedom

HAPPY 4th of July: Well it is the day we celebrate the birthday of America which many of us believe is the greatest nation in the world। America has been blessed by God in many ways but sadly there are things wrong with America that needs to be changed। So how can we see America changed? What can I do to see that happen? What can you do? First off the answer is found in God’s book the Bible. Besides using the Bible for today’s broadcast I am going to use a letter that was written by Rev. Charles Stanley some of you may know of him through the In Touch Broadcasts TV and radio. So what can we do to see this nation brought to God or brought back to God. First off we must return to the word of God. Is it any wonder that the government schools have gone downhill since they took the Bible out of the classroom. The Bible will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the Bible. Just look how so much sin is going on in these schools. Today students are being given condoms, drug use, crime is going on. However the problem is not only with the government schools but even churches here in America have forgotten the Bible or even rejected it’s teaching. Second we must go to God the father in prayer.

1 Timothy 2:1-2. The leaders of our nation are in the hands of God. We must pray for all of our leaders including those we don’t agree with or didn’t vote for, for example as many of you who have watched my other videos know I didn’t vote for or am I a big backer of President Obama। However every Saturday and many other days I pray for President Obama. No praise to me praying for those we don’t agree with is simple Christian Bible based faith. Third we must stand for the Lord. Romans 1:16 tells us not to be ashamed of the good news. Well there is what we need to do to see this nation start going the right way so are you going to do those things? I hope so. One other thing today we are going to have a birthday celebration for our nation which we should because we are a free nation but not every soul is free in this nation. Gal. 5:1 Christ set us free. True freedom is spiritual and that freedom can only come through a relationship with Jesus.

What Kind of Judgement will you Face

Sunday, June 27, 2010

Galatians 2:6-9
A. God doesn't look at people the way we do. God isn't going to judge people the way we do. The way we judge others is by how they look, how they dress, what their position is in this world.
B. The non believer the person who has not accepted God’s free gift of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ is going to be judge for that rejection of God. But the person who has accepted Jesus is also going to be judge. They are going to be judged how faithful they were to what God called them to. Here Paul was faithful to the people he had been called to take the good news too and so was Peter.
C. God is also going to judge his followers far as if they obeyed him in what he told them to do. If Jesus is Lord of your life in some way and far as that issue goes he tells you to do something you can’t say no Lord because if you say no his Lordship is not running your life. For example if some person says they want to be a missionary. Then God calls them to Mexico they can’t say no Lord I don’t want to go to Mexico.
D. The child will also be judge for their relationship with God. Now when we receive Jesus the most important relationship in our lives has started which I believe can never be lost but you will be judge if you had an ongoing relationship with God. Did you live for him or did you fall back into sin that you didn't repent of. The good news is while we are living we can always repent of the sin in our lives and turn away from it.
Now when you die you are either going to be judged for rejecting God’s gift of salvation in Jesus or you are going to be judged what you did after you received salvation. Either way the answer is to go to Jesus. If you have never come to him today just ask him to come into your life. If you know Jesus but for whatever reason you aren't living for him repent. Tell Jesus you are sorry and with his help you are going to start living for him.

The Christian Life Is Impossible

Last week we looked at Gal. 1:10. This week we are going to remain in Gal. 1: and look at verses 11 and 12
Galatians 1:11-12 - reads 11I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
So what can we learn from these verses?
A. The Christian faith and the gospel comes from God. I heard this preacher once say the Christian life isn't hard apart from Jesus Christ no the Christian life is impossible without having Jesus in your life. Where there is no Jesus there is no Christian life you can have a religious good moral life but not a Christian life apart from Jesus. Today there are a lot of man made gospels. What is a man made gospel anything that teaches that salvation comes through something or someone else besides the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. There are some including some churches that teach salvation comes through a church or doing good works. Eph. 2:8-9 It is by grace you have been saved through faith not by works so no one can boast.
B. another thing we can learn from these verses the key to somebody getting saved is the Holy Spirit of God showing them Jesus. We can teach people all the correct doctrine all the best church programs in the world but if God’s spirit doesn’t show one that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. The key to the Christian life is Jesus.
