North Side Sermons [greenwood, Sc]

God's eternal plan has been to love a sinful, helpless, rebellious people, by saving them from His wrath, through the blood of Jesus Christ. God's plans never fail!

As Christians, we know that the tribulations of life are there to develop our character and prove our faith. Therefore, we can rejoice through our pain.

When we understand that we are justified by faith alone, we can truly enjoy peace with God, assurance of salvation and stand confidently in the hope of the future.

Biblical faith believes the unbelievable, grows stronger instead of growing weaker and always gives glory to God.

Man is made right with God by faith in Christ alone. Religious acts and religious obedience have no part in God justifying sinners.

The good life comes from good relationships. Good relationships come from what we say, what we sow and what we seek.

The problem with a works salvation is that it promotes boasting in our salvation and positions God where He is indebted to us. The life of Abraham and David prove that justification is a result of faith alone and not of works.

When we understand the redemptive work of Jesus on the cross, we find that what he did removes all of our attempts for taking credit for any of our salvation. It removes all the distinctions we often make between ourselves and others and it establishes the Old Testament Law.

Only by God's Grace and His given righteousness can our lives be redeemed and the sins we've committed be washed away.

The truth of God is often met with questions. Paul anticipates some of these questions and answers them with assurance of the truth.

Religion leads to devotion out of duty. God has called his children to enter into a relationship with Him, therefore serving Him with delight.
