The Best News of the Resurrection (1 of 3)
by William Wyne
The Resurrection of Christ was without a doubt and unequivocally good news. A faithful group of women had braved the darkness of the early morning, even though that the day is breaking and its dawn; it is still midnight in their lives. They are grieving, their Lord and Savior is dead, he is lying on some stone slab in a tomb. Yet, they are still committed to the master; there is something about their loyalty to him and love for him that they do this act. They are making their way to the tomb to embalm the body of Jesus with the spices that were used in those days. And they are coming in a spirit of mourning and anxiety...
The Crucified Life (4 of 16)
by Stan Coffey
Let's turn to Galatians Chapter 2 as we continue in the series of messages from the book of Galatians. How to have freedom in Christ is what Paul is writing about. Now tonight I'm just going to use one verse. I was going to begin in Verse 11 but I believe tonight that you are well grounded in the fact that we are saved by grace that it is not by works. I pray that you will understand that Paul is writing and gives an example in this passage about Simon Peter and how Simon Peter because of the pressure of Judaism tried so hard to live on both sides of the fence but you can't live on both sides of the fence when it is...
The Empowered Life Is The Exchanged Life
by Fenton Moorhead
It's Galatians 2:20 - look in your Bible or if you want to use your outline, it's in the second verse under #2 in your outline. Galatians 2:20. Let's read it aloud together: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Let's pray together. Lord, I thank you for this scripture--for how profound it is. For how simple it seems to read but yet this is a lifetime of experience learning to be crucified with Christ so that He can be alive in us.Teach us today more of what this profound scripture means in its simplicity...
Do You See It? (3 of 3)
by David Ireland
1.0 The Church is a Family (Gal. 2:11-16)! P. 824 1.1 Relational problems stemmed from: A) Peter's PLATFORM. 1. He was a high profile leader. 2. He influenced others-leaders and members of the rank-and-file.3. All leaders have blind spots and areas that require growth and spiritual formation, including Peter. B) Peter's PERSPECTIVE. 1. He thought his cultural history is right and provided an accurate perspective of social life. 2. He was afraid of what others-his people-thought of his actions. 3. His theology was limited and unclear to him but he did not know it. Theology of ''the whole-the general-the universal church should...
Flesh Versus the Spirit (5 of 9)
by Eddie Snipes
The frustrated Christian life occurs when we try to live for God instead of allowing Christ to live through us. If you try to live for God, you will fail. You might have limited success toward religion, but you will not discover the depth of what God has designed for you. Let’s begin by looking at Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. You aren’t supposed to live for God, but allow God to crucify your life of the flesh. If you go back and read the passages that precede...
Galatians: The Life We Live (11 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Galatians is small but important. Martin Luther said he considered it the most important book in the New Testament. It contains only six chapters and one hundred forty-eight verses. Each chapter is stuffed full of vital lessons for Christians then and now. Our text, Galatians 2:20, provides the heart of the book's message. Tonight I want to use this verse as the framework from which to look at the entire book. Note how the verse has two connected halves. The verse forms a circle. The two halves each speak of two subjects. Both halves talk of death and life. The whole verse actually speaks of two deaths and...
The Simple Truth About the New Birth (13 of 15)
by Richard Bradley
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. NKJV J. Vernon Magee used to say, ''When you see the word therefore in the New Testament you need to look and see what it's there for.'' Usually this word is the beginning of a summary statement - a verse that wraps up some vital truth. What's the vital truth here? Clearly it's the death of Christ and all that His death accomplished for us. Jesus' death on the cross brought about the possibility of our new birth. Apart from a new birth there is no hope of eternal life. When we stand before God...
God's Promise for Change (5 of 18)
by Ernest Easley
We are in the middle of a series of messages these days under the heading: The If's, Ands and Buts of the Bible. And today we find ourselves in the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 5 where we find another one of those iffy promises of God. A promise that will give you great hope today. Now in case you're just now jumping into the middle of this new series of messages … you need to know that when we're talking about the ''ifs'' of the Bible, we're talking about The Promises of God. Many of the promises of God are conditional. God says, ''If you do this, then I'll do that.'' And we've discovered that not every conditional promise...
Time for a New Beginning
by David Cawston
January is a fascinating month. Did you know that? It's a fascinating month because statistics tell us that January is the month where people attempt to make more changes in their lives than any other time of the year. It has to do with the close of one year and the beginning of a new. It's a time when we try to start new things and the vast majority of people also run headlong into the fact that they don't do very well with their New Year's resolutions. Now why is that? ALL PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING FOR A NEW BEGINNING. HOW? Through resolutions Changing jobs Working two jobs to obtain more material...
The Comforter is Here (2 of 4)
by Lenny Ports
Last week, the Lord had spoken that the greatest need of His people is to be healed. We talked about how the enemy comes to rob, kill, and destroy. He comes with lies or he uses other people to discourage us, bring us down, oppress us or depress us. We have all been wounded by events of our past, figures of authority who have abused us, and friends who have betrayed us. The enemy knows that if he can find an opening, he can gain a victory. So, he hammers at our weaknesses, he pokes us in the place of our wounds, he kicks us when we are down, he reminds us of our past, he accuses us, condemns us, ruthlessly...
Mark: The Gospel of New Beginnings
by John Barnett
I can't think of anything more wonderful for us this morning than to be- starting this brand new year together, and- celebrating the New Covenant promises of a new heart and a new spirit within us through this communion, and worshiping our God of New Beginnings. You may have had a horrible past year or an incredible 2006-but whichever it was, God declares that we start today brand new in Christ. This reality is emphasized as the calendar starts over; communion also is a constant reminder of this promise-but as we will see this morning, the Gospel by Mark is from start to finish the Gospel of New...
New Beginnings (1 of 4)
by Lenny Ports
I love the fall and it is amazing how people drive to certain locations just to see the beauty of God's creation as the leaves change colors in the autumn season. It shows that the summer is over and it is time for a new season. A new school year. A new month. A new beginning. Gerri and I were part of a big church on Long Island that was thriving with the life of the Spirit. We sat under one of the greatest preachers we have ever heard but our excitement began to be extinguished when rumors of his infidelity began to surface. While we wanted to believe none of the bad rumors were true, it was ultimately revealed that he wasn't...
A New Beginning
by Jim Perdue
Happy New Year! The New Year is a time for new beginnings. Have you ever felt like you needed a new beginning? You just want to press the pause button on life and start over. Maybe you said something you shouldn't have said, or done something you shouldn't have done. All of us need a new beginning from time to time. Maybe an ''undo button'' for life. The New Year provides a natural time of beginning. We turn the page on our calendar and as we bring one year to a close, another brand new year is right in front of us. That's why we like to do resolutions; I'm going to be nicer, I'm going to be smarter, I'm going to be...
Being Prepared for Constant New Beginnings
by David Cawston
Introduction:This was a surprise to all when the day of Pentecost was fully come.To the participant as well as the observer! The Spirit filled life in God is a life of constant new beginnings and surprises! Life in the Spirit has a constant newness to it! Many people do not know the difference between newness and novelty. Here is the distinction between newness and Novelty in three short statements! A comparison between God's new things and human novelty! 1. Human novelty fascinates and soon wearies us. - God's new things refresh and restore us. 2. Human novelty fades and fails. - God's new things endure and fulfill...
Your New Beginning
by Jim Perdue
Happy Easter! I am so grateful that you have chosen to worship with us today. We serve a Risen Savior who brings life and hope to all who meet Him. And today, I pray that you experience the new beginning that comes from knowing Jesus. READ 2 Corinthians 5:17 *A new beginning...a brand new start. Sometimes that sounds like a good thing, sometimes it doesn't. Occasionally, I'll play a board game called Sorry with my kids. You can be doing really well in the game, but then, everything can change in a moment. The rules say, ''Two pawns cannot occupy the same square; a pawn that lands on a square occupied by another...
A New Beginning with God (1 of 7)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take God's precious, holy Word this morning and be finding your place at two passages of scripture if you would, Revelation 21:5 and Isaiah 43:18-19, and this morning as we come to the beginning of a new year I want us to begin a new series of sermons entitled ''All Things New.'' I don't know about you, but I love ''new things.'' I love new clothes, new cars, new beginnings, new books, new days, new directions, new restaurants and new relationships. There's something about the word ''new'' that just absolutely screams opportunity and possibility. I mean, no matter how bad you've blown it, no matter...
Death: A New Beginning (53 of 54)
by Keith Krell
Almost 2,000 years ago, Seneca (5 BC-65 AD), the Roman dramatist, philosopher, and politician, said, ''It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.'' Seneca was ahead of his time and the timeless truth that he uttered must be remembered today. For those of us who are driven and want to fulfill all that God has for us, we must recognize that God will have us walk a rough road. Yet, it is in this rough road that God will lead us to heights of greatness. While we may not want to suffer and experience trials and tests, these are the tools that God uses to shape us into the people He wants us to be. We have arrived...
Looking For A New Beginning (5 of 5)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: I did an internet search to find the most popular New Year's Resolutions for the coming year and I found one source that gave the top 10 promises people wanted to make to themselves. What do you think was the number 1 New Year's Resolution for the coming year? (most of the audience guessed ''lose weight'', ''exercise more'', and ''quit smoking'').This was the list: 1) Spend More Time with Family and Friends - more than 50% of Americans have vowed to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. 2) Commitment to be more Fit 3) Tame the Bulge 4) Quit Smoking...
How To Have A New Beginning (46 of 54)
by Stan Coffey
AUTHORSHIP: Jonah, although the Book of Jonah nowhere claims to be the literary production of the prophet whose ministry is the focus of the narrative logic dictates that Jonah had every reason to record both his harrowing encounters with ocean, fish, gourd, and worm as well as the unusual Ninevite revival. Jonah, whose name means "dove", was a native of Gath-hapher, approximately 2 miles north of Nazareth. DATE: The historical events recorded apparently occur during the reign of Jeroboam II about 782-753 BC in Israel. As an 8th century prophet, Jonah joins his contemporaries Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Isaiah...
A New Beginning with Your Bible (2 of 7)
by Brad Whitt
INTRO: I want you to take God's Word this morning and be finding your place at what is almost the very center of your Bible if you will – Psalm 119, and this morning we are going to begin to move through a series of studies for the new year on what are known as the "Christian disciplines" that we have entitled "All Things New." For those of you who weren't able to be here last week, in last Sunday's message I explained a little bit about what these Christian disciplines are. These are the basics of the Christian life. These are the fundamentals, if you will, of what it means to move and grow and develop and deepen in your...
