The Chosen of God
by Marvin D. Patterson
A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the pearly gates. St. Peter says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in." "Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart." "That's wonderful," says St. Peter, "that's worth three points!" "Three points?" he says. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe and service." "Terrific!" says...
Chosen of the Lord
by Jesse Hendley
We are taking up now Ephesians, chapter 1, verses 3 and 4 ''Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world.''I want to call your attention to that expression, ''according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world.'' The word here translated ''chosen'' is the Greek word meaning to pick out or to choose for one's self. We read in Luke 10:42 that Mary chose for herself this good part which, Jesus said, should not be taken from her. You remember that Jesus went...
God's Chosen People
by Tony Nester
There's nothing wrong with any of these answers but there's something missing. They touch on part of why church matters but they're off target -- like darts that hit the dartboard but miss the bull's-eye. What throws each of these answers off the mark is that they're all about what we like and how we feel. These motives for church attendance reveal that we view church as a matter of personal choice.Here in The United States we put a high value on choice. "It's my time ... it's my decision ...it's my money ...It's my life ... it's my choice." These are our slogans. I'm as fond of choice as any of one of you might be. The other night Evelyn...
Chosen (1 of 3)
by Fred Michaux
-What are some times in your life when you have been chosen?…people in the Bible that you would consider as having been chosen? All the individuals identified, chronicled, chosen in Scripture are to remind us that we too are chosen. We must not succumb to the trap born out of the inherent insecurity of our humanity that the unnamed people in the crowd are forgotten, over-looked, set aside. Every story in Scripture where one is chosen and a crowd remains, every person in the crowd is a on their own journey of being chosen, for their own providential purpose, for their own divine destiny. Our inclination towards exclusivity is born...
Men Chosen-fallen Angels Rejected
by Charles H. Spurgeon
The Almighty God, who dwelt alone, was pleased to manifest Himself by created works which should display His wisdom and His power. When He set about the mighty work of creation, He determined in His own mind that He would fashion a variety of works and that all His creatures should not be of one form, nature, grandeur, or dignity, hence He made some grains of dust and others mountains of stupendous magnitude; He created some drops and some oceans, some mighty hills and some valleys. Even in His inanimate works He preserved a wonderful variety; He gave not to all stars the same glory, neither to all worlds the same ponderous...
The Chosen - Part 1 (1 of 2)
by Michael Romero
At the beginning of this series we came together and learned about the Adam Syndrome a humanly incurable disease that each human carries with him or her until death. We understand that since Adam we have been born with a sinful nature that brings death. (Psalms 51:5) We all must physically die. We have seen pain and death in life and we fear it and look for an answer. In the second sermon we found a merciful Father who has infinite and eternal wisdom who gave us divine recognition for our free will or choice. He permitted our knowledge of sin through experience to draw us to Himself. He made known His...
Chosen for Dominion and Blessing (40 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
It's been over an entire year since we began our study of the book of Genesis. One whole year dedicated to a book written thousands of years ago about a people even older than that. Why have we spent an entire year on what some might consider little more than a history lesson? I mean this is a Baptist church, right? Shouldn't we be talking about Jesus, not Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Why have we devoted a year of our time together to the book of Genesis? Well it's because of the message of the book, which we find made explicit this morning in our text. The reason that the book of Genesis is vital for study is that this book like...
Who We Are In Christ: Chosen (1 of 13)
by Benny Perez
Today I am starting a brand new Series on the Book of Ephesians. Ephesians has been called "The Alps of the New Testament," and "The Grand Canyon of Scripture," not only because of its Grand Theme but because of the Majesty of Jesus Revealed. This series is going to enlighten and invoke a response to all that Jesus has done for us. We will discover the Grace of God revealed in his Son Jesus and our response to our Magnificent Jesus. Content The book is broken up into 2 sections: 1) the Believers Position, chapters 1 - 3, and 2) the Believers Practice chapters 4 - 6. This is important to understand that Position...

by Stan Coffey
We are studying Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle of the Ages. Today we are in stage five of the Battle of Armageddon as we are looking at seven stages of the War of Armageddon. Armageddon is not just a battle but it is in fact a war that will be fought during the last seven years of earth's history. At this particular time in the future when Armageddon takes place the final war that will be fought upon the earth, the church age will have ended. And the church as we know it will no longer be upon the earth. Now believers will be upon the earth, tribulation believers will upon the earth, the gospel will be preached upon the earth, it will be a...
What's the Good Word to You? - Evidence of Being Chosen by God (2 of 7)
by Jeff Lynn
Aren’t you glad there isn’t some kind of test to see whether or not you’re going to heaven, like having to name the twelve tribes of Israel, or name the 12 apostles, or know what the longest word in the Bible is? Well, it seems that Forrest Gump wasn’t so lucky. When he died he was taken to the Pearly Gates where St. Peter told Forrest that the place was filling up fast and so they had to start administering an entrance exam to heaven. What two days of the week begin with the letter “T”? How many seconds are there in a year? What is God’s first name? Today/tomorrow 12- January 2, February 2...Andy. Andy walks with me, Andy talks...
Kingdom Identity (1 of 40)
by Jesus Culture Resources
Identity theft affects tens of millions of people a year and costs billions of dollars in overall losses. Identity is an expensive thing. Have you or anyone you know been affected by any form of identity theft or fraud? It can be a major problem. What would you do if your identity were stolen?Did you know that in his letter to the Ephesians, the apostle Paul talks about identity? He goes to great lengths to teach the truth to a group of believers who have lost touch with who they are. In fact, the entire Church is in a battle over identity. The enemy stole the identity that God gave us in the Garden of Eden, and it is only through Christ that we...
Our Part in God's Plan (1 of 2)
by Richard Bradley
Ephesians 1:1-6: 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He...

Overloaded with Blessings Part One (2)
by Robert Dawson
There is a new game show on during primetime television called ''Ellen's Game of Games.'' Contestants are put through the paces in a series of ridiculous games to earn the right to compete for $100,000 in the finale. The games span the gamut of absurdity and hilarity. In one game the contestants are strapped by seatbelts into two chairs. They are asked a question and then the platform on which the chairs are anchored begins to quickly spin after they stop the contestants are forced to race in a dizzy stupor to grab a ball from a stand and then answer the question correctly. Another game has contestants blindfolded and dangling over...
Where Do You Belong? (1 of 10)
by Joe Alain
Think of a time when you felt a true sense of belonging to a community or group of people. What did it feel like to belong? You may have sensed a feeling of acceptance, of comradery, and the joy of belonging. You probably shared common circumstances and purpose with others in the group. You felt at home in this group. You experienced the blessing of belonging. Paul opens his letter with a glorious anthem of praise for all the blessings we have "in Christ." One blessing is that we belong to God's family - a community of faith. Here's how Paul describes the blessing of belonging in 1:3-4. "Praise be to the God and Father of our...
Adopted into the Royal Family of God
by Duane Bemis
The majority of Christians do not know who they truly are in Christ. Today we will look at one idea which will bring us understanding of our position in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to have the Apostle Paul teach us- Are you ready to receive who you are in Christ- This is important and it will change how you walk, talk, and act from this point on. Come now let us reason together and let us discover who we are in Christ Jesus. According to scripture we are, ''Adopted into the Royal Family of God,'' and I ask you to meditate on this for a moment. This is the reason for this sermon that you will accept your adoption into His royal family and all that it...
Adopted for a Purpose (5 of 8)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: One woman shared a story of her childhood as a victim of polio. She said, ''When my mother left me in Sunday School I always asked to wear her locket. She thought I liked the locket, but that wasn't it at all. I knew I wasn't worth coming back for, but I knew she would come back for her locket.''APPLY: What was that little girl's afraid of? She was afraid that she wasn't wanted. BUT, she felt that if she had something with her that was valuable... that her mother would always come back for her. What Paul is telling us in Ephesians 1 is this: God believes we are valuable. God believes we are worth coming back for. And so God has...
