Sermon Notes
The Gospel So what exactly is Gospel? The apostle Paul wrote to church in Rome, The gospel is power of for salvation of everyone who believes. (Romans 1: 16) This Gospel power is not simply about sharing a message, doing better or being nicer, but about a generated renovation of of life. n so doing He gives us a new object of worship, new fuel for life a new purpose for future. The Gospel does this because it is first foremost outside of us. Out of this fountain of power flows mercy, forgiveness love in essence transformed lives. Moreover, this fountain is not generated from within us from our efforts, experiences or knowledge. This fountain is found outside of us in azing historical work of Jesus his life, crucifixion resurrection. finished work alone restores, forgives empowers sinners in a directed life. So how do we embrace Gospel? There is something to admit. Christians are people who admit that y are weaker, more guilty sinful than y would have ever dared admit. By nature by choice we are not in a relationship with even though we were created for such a relationship. nstead, natury we live a selfcentered rar than a centered lifestyle, which is characterized by sorts of misdeeds deceptions. Left to ourselves we are helpless to break this pattern. (Jeremiah 17: 9, 10; Romans 3: 10 18, 23) There is something to believe. Christians are people who believe that loves people so much that he sent his only Son to earth to become a man, Jesus Christ, that Jesus dies on cross as our substitute was raised from dead in order to offer us complete forgiveness. Through Christ, we are more loved, vaed accepted by than we would have ever dared imagine. (John 3: 16; phesian 2: 8 10) There is something to consider. Christians are not naïve, but y have counted cost of following Jesus. Being a Christian involves acknowledging Jesus authority Lordship in every area of life, welcoming his work to change us from inside out, rejoicing to spend time with him with his followers in life of church. (Matw 10: 34 39; Luke 9: 23) There is something to do. We receive Christ as Savior Lord by selfconsciously turning away from our sin our sinful self (which Bible cs repentance) turn toward Jesus as he is offered to us in Gospel. We look to him because he alone offers forgiveness, acceptance with power for a new life that we so desperately need. The Bible cs this faith. (Matw 3: 2; Mark 1: 15; Romans 10: 9, 10) We welcome any questions you may have about Gospel or anything else you may have seen or heard here at Christ Presbyterian Church today. f you have any questions or need anything else, please speak to one of our pastors, officers, or staff. t is our privilege to serve you in any way we can!
