The gospel which includes own salvation is ultimately for God’s glory and His alone.

Unless the church of Jesus Christ contends for the faith the gospel is soon obscured.

Today I want to do something very special in my sermon. In advance of eternity I want to partially pull back the curtain, kind of like a movie trailer. I want you to meet a few of the early Christians whose devotion to Christ is intended to inspire you.

When God does it His way rather than ours it is always so much better. It is always better to entrust our future to God believing His providential designs for us are best.

Christ had determined that Paul’s unique role among the apostles is that he would blaze the trail and make the gospel available to the Gentiles.

May the God of endurance grant that Jewish and Gentile Christians live in such harmony with each other so that with one voice they may glorify God. That is the great Apostle ’s prayer.

We are called to bear with the failings of the weak and that we are to do this in the same way that Christ bore or failures and sins on the cross.

Loving freedom makes some allowances for the sake of the weak among us

The freedom spoken of here is the freedom to serve God without adhering to certain laws.

Keep the Sabbath but do not let the exact rules of Sabbath be the cause of division.
