Renewing Your Faith – The Word – Sermon – July 24 2011

Renewing Your Faith – The Word – Sermon – July 24 2011

How can I renew my life?   Is there anything I can do, to enable the renewal of my life?  Why do we need to renew our Faith on a regular basis?  Can something happen, and cause to drift, or grow dim in our Faith?  Once we have been saved in Salvation, do we need to repent anymore?  I have heard that Billy Graham has stated something to the effect that a person did not have to believe or even know the name of Jesus Christ to be saved, for if all they had available to them was the Muslim religion or Hinduism, or Buddhism and believed with all their heart that it was true, then God would save them without their knowing anything about Christ–not even His name.  Is this true?  Was this the result of a TV interview of Billy Graham  by Robert Schuller on his show that aired May 31, 1997?  What can we do, to prevent from falling away into condemnation as what would happen to Billy Graham if he did not repent to this great Sin?  Did Billy Graham lose his Salvation?

Scriptures below from the church bulletin used in the Sermon:

Psalm 138,  Isaiah 50: 2-8a,  Phillippians 2: 12-18,  Matthew 15: 21-31

Keywords:  weak faith, conviction, strong prayer, belief, strong belief, Billy Graham lost his belief that Christ is the only door the only way to Salvation, Modern day Saints falling from Grace, losing Salvation, damnation, sin, lose your salvation

The Lord Loves Righteous Deeds – Renewing Your Life By Service – Sermon – August 21 2011

What does it mean, when scripture, Jesus says we are not saved by works, but we are saved for works?  How do our works bear witness to our Faith?  Does God condemn no works?  What does service look like?  How does God renew us by Service?  Why has God not saved all the Jews?  Are his promises to Israel void, since many have rejected the Gospel?

Gods Love For Sinners – Sermon – February 12 2012

Gods Love For Sinners – Sermon – February 12 2012

If the Holy Spirit inspired the Saints/Authors of the Bible to write the scriptures, why did God see fit ro record so carefully for us in the scriptures the many sins of the saints, even the all-star famous saints of the Bible?   If mere men wrote the Bible, and tried to put forth a religion of their own making, they’d have wanted to share only the good points and highlights of their heroes, right?  How does God seek to grow our faith and encourage us by this sharing of the Sins of the Great Saints of the Bible?

The Christian life, according to the Bible, is a race, or, it is like a race.  Sometimes we have steep hills to climb, difficult and challenging times in our life!  And at times like these we may be tempted to quit, give up on Christianity, “It’s too hard!”  And inner voice might whisper to us – Why keep on running? Why endure the pain? Why remain a Christian?  What’s the great benefit of Christianity anyway?  So – today – then – what does our Coach, our Team Captain, our great and mighty God say to us runners today about our race, about our Christian life?  What awaits us at the finish line?
