Thanks to Bruce Hosket who is preaching this week!
Christian, What Do You Believe?
Jude points us to a body of belief, a summary of "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints," that was established early on in the life of the early church . Where can we find this summary today? Here it is, The Apostles Creed:
We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Faith in Jesus Christ -What is it?
Faith in Jesus Christ is acknowledging the truth of everything that God has revealed in his Word, trusting in him, and also receiving and resting on him alone for salvation as he is offered to us in the gospel.
Lost in Adam - Saved in Christ
If the entire human race is condemned because of Adam's sin, why then would not the entire human race be saved through Jesus Christ? If God loves us all, why would he send anybody to Hell? The answer lies in the Cross of Christ, the free offer of the gospel, and the necessity of repentance and faith.
God Still Loves His World
Adam's sin brought death to all of God's creation, both physical and spiritual; and even though God has placed his particular redeeming love on those whom he has set apart for redemption, this does not mean that he has abandoned the rest of his creation to the chaos of evil and wickedness. His common grace sustains life across the planet and enables great works of beauty, culture, engineering and technology for his own glory even among those who reject his Lordship and redemption. In the end, God will reconcile all things to himself by the blood of the cross.
His Life For Our Sin: The Great Exchange
It was the most unthinkably grand and majestic act of mercy that took place on the cross when Jesus became sin for us, and bore the weight of our guilt and shame. By grace we are reconciled with God, our sins are covered 100%, and His righteousness becomes ours. Therefore in Christ, and in Him alone we may now live as a new creation. Now there's something worth singing about!
Reclaiming Boldness in Our Adoption
Alex Pettett is the director of the overseas outreach arm of the ARP - World Witness. He has traveled extensively, worldwide, and will bring a global perspective and application to this glorious text about our adoption in Christ which is for "...the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace."
Reformation Sunday: Grace Alone. Faith Alone.
Imagine a church so corrupt and godless that it resembled an oppressive secular tyranny more than it did the Body of Christ. This is what the Reformers Luther, Calvin, Knox and many others faced 500 years ago when they fought for biblical doctrine and practice in the church of their day. Our church and denomination stand today in the mainstream of that heritage, preaching a gospel of grace by faith in Christ alone. May we never fail to appreciate their sacrifices and hard won battles for light in the midst of darkness.
