    Preacher: Cliff Swanson Text: Romans 1:17 Theme: Reformation Notes: What does Romans 1:17 mean? * The just shall live by faith. * Martin Luther climbed the stairs to Pontius Pilots throne. * Gained the understanding of Romans 1:17 and returned home to teach on it. * Nailed the 95 thesis to the church door on October 31, 1517. * Reformation day started October 31, 1517. * Luther was pressured to recant his thesis and used Romans 1:17 as his reasoning to not recant. * Luther translated the Bible into German from Latin/Hebrew. The Pilgrim Bible is the Geneva Bible. The Pilgrim’s that translated the Bible into the Geneva Bible, went back to Hebrew/Greek. They are the ones that divided the Bible into books and chapters. This turned the Bible into more of a commentary making it easier to read. When people read the Bible, understand the Bible, accepts what the Bible says and repent. The Lord Jesus Christ saves them. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 10:9-13, John 3: 16. Christ gave himself up to save us.

    Preacher: Jeremy Herbert Text: Acts 18:1-18a Thesis: Ministry can be difficult, draining, and discouraging–but the Lord gives us five things that keep us going. Notes: Context: Paul’s visit to Corinth–much different than his visit to Athens * Athens was a city of ideas & philosophy * Corinth was a city of commerce & pleasure   Paul’s ministry in Corinth was quite difficult–and yet so fruitful. The Spirit ministered through Paul–and to Paul Ministry Is Difficult * “I will show you how many things you must suffer for my namesake” –Acts 9:6 * Some people think ministry is like a vending machine, but it is much more like farming in hard ground * Those interested in instant gratification will not minister long   Ministry is Draining * Serving Christ will have a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual  cost * Ministry is WAY easier if you just don’t care–but serving without caring isn’t actually ministry at all   Live It Out: Why not give up? * Because of the reality of the resurrection — 1 Corinthians 15 * Because God’s strength is greater than our weakness — 2 Corinthians 12 * Because Christ’s love motivates us — 2 Corinthians 5

    Preacher: Jeremy Herbert Text: Ephesians 4:1-15 Theme: We Are Better Together Thesis: God has called us to experience spiritual health together in a local church family. Notes: * Loving Unity * 4:2, Unity among believers isn’t just a future “in heaven” thing * Unity is possible here on earth, in each local body, because of Christ’s sacrifice * Christ died not for persons–but for a people *  Our local gathering of God’s people is a microcosmic visible picture of God’s universal, invisible church * We meet on Sunday as a reflection of the early church meeting on Sunday to celebrate Christ’s resurrection * Acts 16 * Acts 20 * Justin Martyr, 150 AD * Required attitudes to create unity: * Lowliness, gentleness, patience, long-suffering, bearing with one another in love * Grace-Empowered Ministry  * 4:7, Every believer is equipped with spiritual gifts by Christ’s victory over sin & death * The purpose of each gift is service to and in the local church body * Christ-Centered Maturity  * We all grow together * Just as a body’s health is dependent on each part being healthy, so it is with a local church   Live It Out * Commit yourself to the spiritual health of your church family through ministry and maturity * Commit to building unity in your church family through faithfully gathering and fellowshipping with them

    Preacher: Jeremy Herbert Text: Ephesians 2: Theme: Our Identity In Christ Notes: Finding our identity in Christ allows us to relate to others around us in a Christ-like way. Three Truths: * Rooting our identity in Christ releases us from our past * “…you were dead in trespasses and sins in which you once walked….” * “…among whom we all once lived….” * “…even when we were dead in trespasses and sins….” * Our past reminds us that: * We can’t earn God’s love * “I know God loves me–but I don’t think He likes me” * It can be tempting to think that we can do something to “earn” grace * “I did these things, so God kind of owes me a good day” * “This bad thing happened, I must not have done enough to please Him” * If we think God treats us this way–offering grace provisionally or based on works (i.e., not grace), we will relate to others in this same way * How can you reflect God’s grace if you don’t feel God is full of grace– but that He is severe and usually disappointed? * God loves us, not because we are intrinsically or potentially lovely * God makes lovely that which He chooses to love, i.e., He loves us because of of what He has done, not because of what we have done * Growing up in a Christian home you often are protected from committing certain sins that unbelievers harm themselves and others with * “The big ones” * But the closer you grow to Christ, the darker you understand your own sins to be–no matter how socially acceptable those sins might be * God’s desire for us to mourn over our sin is not a call to wallow in shame–it’s a call to accept His offer of grace, repent of our sin, and be made new * At salvation you have been given the resources to be free from sin * It doesn’t mean that some sins may take more time and effort than others to be free from * Sins you are painfully aware of * Sins you are unaware of * Rooting our identity in Christ allows us to rest in His present grace * The call of legalism is often harsh and unforgiving * “This bad thing happened, I must not have displeased God.” * It can also be seductive * “This good thing happened, I must be really righteous” * But the truth is that God loves us with a covenantal love–where God loves us because He has promised to love us–based on the merits of Christ–not because of how you have performed. * Q: Won’t people just feel a license to live as sinful as they want, penalty-free? * A: People truly saved by grace will be transformed by grace. * You need not be pulled here and there by the exhausting sins of: * pride (look what I have done for God) * despair (look what I have done to God) * We must remember that God has entered into a covenant with His people: * By His own initiative * Utterly aware of every one of our sins * And God is for us! * Rooting our identity in Christ restores us to purpose * Graces: * imago dei (ih-MAH-go DAY) — “the image of God” * Every human is made in the image of God * Common grace * Redemptive grace
