Understanding Grace

How Grace Works (Titus 2:11-14) Our subject for today, the grace of God and how it works in our lives, is arguably the most important concept for you to understand and live by in the battle to be godly. Because it is so important, the enemy of our souls has created much confusion and controversy on this topic. But if you can fight your way clear in understanding and applying God’s grace, you will experience a close relationship with God and consistent victory over sin (Rom. 6:14). God’s grace permeated Paul’s thinking. One scholar writes, “Paul could not think of Christian truth and conduct apart from God’s grace” (D. Edmond Hiebert, The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, ed. by Frank Gaebelein [Zondervan], 11:439). Another writes, “The expression, the grace of God, may fairly be said to be the key word of Paul’s theology…. He cannot think of Christian salvation apart from the grace of God…” (Donald Guthrie, The Pastoral Epistles, Tyndale New Testament Commentaries [Eerdmans], p. 198, ital

The Rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ

  The Rapture of the Church and the Second Coming of Christ      This is one of those few…no, many things rather that people confuse in the scripture. The rapture of the Church is different from the second coming of Christ. And, by the way, you will not really find the word ‘rapture’ especially in the older translations [of the Bible], because rapture means ‘to catch away’, ‘to take away’, ’to be caught up’, but you’re going to find that term [‘to be caught up’] even though you don’t find the word ‘rapture’ in itself. But, let’s just talk about where these things are in the scriptures, so that we can distinguish between them, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. In 1st Thessalonians…if you go into your Bible in 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4, reading from verse 13, the words of Paul the Apostle: “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even s

PRACTICAL PERSONAL EVANGELISM

 PRACTICAL PERSONAL EVANGELISM Introduction 1. Spring time is a time of growth and new life; trees are budding, flowers are blooming, new lambs can be heard bleating, and a man's thoughts turn to the grass that needs mowing already. 2. It is also about this time of year that this congregation turns its thoughts to numerical growth, through preaching of the gospel of life. 3. Each of us is a member of the Church of God, and, as such, we have an individual responsibility to participate in the spreading of the gospel. We need to involve ourselves in the corporate efforts of the church, but we also have an individual responsibility to evangelize to the lost. “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: For necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). I. THE NEED TO EVANGELIZE (Read Romans 3:10-12) A. All has sinned. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is no

SAVED BY GRACE

SAVED BY GRACE    we all need grace   Explaining Salvation by Grace Through Faith Introduction “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as 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 so that we would walk in them” (Ephesians 2:8-10 NASB) 1. People from a denominational background tend to have a distorted view of God’s grace. Typically, their view can be summarized… a. We are saved wholly by the grace of God. b. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. 2. It is a misconception of these terms that leads to errors on the part of the teacher who is attempting to show what one needs to do to be saved, and on the part of the student who stumbles at baptism as a requirement for the remission of sins. a. Teachers make the mistake of trying to refute the idea that we are saved by grace, and then, distorting what James says, at
