THE CROSS SAVES FROM WRATH 1 THE CROSS SAVES FROM WRATH 2 THE CROSS DELIVERS FROM SIN S POWER Since we have now been justifi ed by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God s wrath through Him! Romans 5:9 I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24 For we know that our old self was crucifi ed with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. Romans 6:6 3 THE CROSS DELIVERS FROM SIN S POWER 4 THE CROSS AND THE BELIEVER 5 THE CROSS AND THE BELIEVER Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2:14 And through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:20 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:13 6 THE CROSS AND THE BELIEVER 7 THE CROSS AND THE BELIEVER 8 THE CROSS AND OUR SERVICE God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. Because by one sacrifi ce He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Hebrews 10:14 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:13-14 9 THE CROSS AND SATAN 10 THE CROSS AND THE WORLD 11 THE CROSS AND THE WORLD Since the children have fl esh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death -- that is, the devil. Hebrews 2:14 He is the atoning sacrifi ce for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:2 That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men s sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 12
CHRIST S GREAT COMMISSION 13 AIM OF EVERY CHRISTIAN 14 VALUE OF SOUL WINNING He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark 16:15 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else s foundation. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Romans 15:20 Daniel 12:3 15 VALUE OF SOUL WINNING 16 ATTITUDES TOWARD THE GOSPEL 17 MISSIONARY PASSAGE The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For, everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13 18 (END OF FIRST QUARTER) MISSIONARY PASSAGE 19 RULES FOR CHRISTIAN GROWTH 20 HOW TO PRAY How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Romans 10:14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say No to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope -- the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2:11-13 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 21 HOW TO PRAY 22 BIBLE PASSAGES THE LORD S PRAYER 23 BIBLE PASSAGES THE LORD S PRAYER In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26 Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Matthew 6:9-11 Matthew 6:12-13 24
CONDITIONS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER 25 CONDITIONS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER 26 CONDITIONS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. John 15:7 This is the confi dence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us -- whatever we ask -- we know that we have what we asked of Him. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it. John 14:14 27 1 John 5:14-15 CHRISTIAN S RELATIONSHIP TO GOVERNMENT Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1 28 CHRISTIAN S RELATIONSHIP TO GOVERNMENT Submit yourselves for the Lord s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 1 Peter 2:13-14 29 CHRISTIAN COURTESY And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17 30 CHRISTIAN COURTESY 31 OUR RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER 32 OUR RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother -- which is the fi rst commandment with a promise. Ephesians 6:1-2 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another 1 John 4:11 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32 33 (END OF SECOND QUARTER) OUR RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER 34 BELIEVERS WALK 35 GOOD WORKS GLORIFY GOD But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin s deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:13 Everyone who has this hope in him purifi es himself, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:3 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. Titus 3:8 36
GOOD WORKS GLORIFY GOD 37 GOOD WORKS GLORIFY GOD 38 SHOULD WE ATTEND CHURCH? Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifi ces, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching. 39 Romans 12:1 Matthew 5:16 Hebrews 10:25 RESPECT FOR CHURCH LEADERSHIP 40 RESPECT FOR CHURCH LEADERSHIP 41 PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:7-8 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death. Hebrews 13:17 Proverbs 23:13-14 42 BIBLE PASSAGES 43 BIBLE PASSAGES 44 BIBLE PASSAGES What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justifi ed by works, he had something to boast about -- but not before God. Romans 4:1-2 What does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Romans 4:3 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifi es the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. Romans 4:4-5 45 BIBLE PASSAGES 46 BIBLE PASSAGES 47 BIBLE PASSAGES David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works. Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.
