Fighting Fear - Romans 8:35-39
This last paragraph of the 8th chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans expresses the promise of Jesus’ unlimited, unconditional, unchanging love which eternally secures our salvation. Inspired by God, Paul conveys three types of fear that may cause us to doubt this truth: (1) Fear of things in our world, (2) Fear of things in the world beyond, and (3) Fear of things in you and me. Yet, nothing can separate Jesus and His followers!
Revealing Redemption - Romans 3:21-31
(1) The first point of this sermon called, “Revealing Redemption" is God‘s REPORT of our sin. It is the people's preeminent problem, and has been since Adam and Eve.
(2) The second point is the Good News – the REDEMPTION of Jesus Christ. He is the propitiation for our sins.
(3) The third point is faith REQUIRED of us. We must believe and receive the gift God offers us—His salvation.
(4) The final point is The REHEARSAL of our faith. We live according to the Heinz Principle of Faith. We trust in God while We wait for time to “catch up” with the reality of His future promises.
