INTRO:  The mission of Christ while living on earth was to obey his Father&amp;amp;#8217;s will.  Jesus was the King of kings even while living on earth covered with human flesh.  Jesus also came to earth to live as God&amp;amp;#8217;s Servant to save sinners.  Here is the kernel of the Christian faith.  Jesus, true God and true man, gave his life as ransom.

INTRO:  Each Sunday believers gather together in churches to draw near to God.  In such worship places believers have a certain closeness to God as God draws near to them in his holy word.  Visible churches are built of brick, mortar, stone, and wood.  Jesus drew near to the well of Jacob in Samaria to save a thirsting soul.

This is not true in many other nations around the world.  At times we even eat and drink when we are not that terribly hungry or thirsty.

INTRO:  Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness.  This teaches us about the danger of the devil.  This also shows us the safety we enjoy in our Savior and by our salvation.  &amp;quot;Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith&amp;amp;#8230;&amp;quot; (1 PETER 5:8,9a).

At times, the not so deep things of God can also be a mystery.  That is a mystery to our human, reasoning mind.  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit describe our Triune God.

Pt. 2 &amp;#8211; Confession

A. Introduction
Last week I read to you a passage of Scripture in which Paul reveals his inward struggle and the inner turmoil that exists in him between good and evil, holiness and sin.  It is an intriguing description and one that I believe that most of us understand and relate to.  We know what it is like to want to do good, but to instead succumb to the depths of the darkness that resides in us at times.  Hear Paul&amp;#8217;s struggle again.

A pastor by the name of Titus, was charged with the fortunate task, of straightening out those aspects of a local&amp;#8212; &amp;amp; possibly island-wide&amp;#8212; church body which would bring it up to speed, thus making them viable &amp;amp; able to powerfully carry the message of Christ to a lost world.

Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him.

Introduction
Tonight we&amp;amp;#8217;ll continue through our verse-by-verse study through the book of Romans. So far we&amp;amp;#8217;ve learned that the letter is from the Apostle Paul who considers himself a slave of God&amp;amp;#8217;s with the purpose of preaching the gospel of God.

This gospel was promised beforehand through the prophets and preserved as Scripture. The central message is the work and person of God&amp;amp;#8217;s Son, Jesus Christ.

Introduction
Over the last several weeks we&amp;amp;#8217;ve been looking at Paul&amp;amp;#8217;s letter to the Romans, and we&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen that Paul is not ashamed of this urgent message because it is salvation for those who believe.

The next question, then, is salvation from what?

Tonight we&amp;amp;#8217;re going to look at&amp;amp;#8230;

  Mark 7:24-37-
  March 14, 2010 



All of us will agree that as followers of Jesus, we are to follow his example.  We are to be Christ-like people.  That&amp;#8217;s what it means to be a Christian.  You walk as Jesus walked.  You take up your cross and follow him.  Christians are to follow in the example of Jesus.  

And I don&amp;#8217;t know about you, but that&amp;#8217;s what I want to do.  I want to be like Christ.  I want to follow Christ.  I want to walk in the way of Christ.

We learned that God is always at work doing something.  We also learned that He loves us completely and wants us to love Him just as much.
Now, if we DO love Him and we see Him doing something, we should want to join Him.  He really wants us to join Him and invites us to do just that.

John 14:15-17

Have you come to a place in your life, where you know for certain, that if you died you would go to heaven?

The only answer is, &amp;amp;#8220;Yes&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;No&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know.&amp;amp;#8221;

If you were standing before God&amp;amp;#8217;s right now and He were to ask you, &amp;amp;#8220;Why should I let you into my perfect heaven? What would you say?

You might say, &amp;amp;#8220;I go to church. I try to live a good life. I try to keep God&amp;amp;#8217;s law.&amp;amp;#8221;

&amp;#8220;Did His Feet Smell that Bad?&amp;#8221;
By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN

	Wouldn&amp;#8217;t it just be easier to ignore it?

	Of course, if we ignore it&amp;#8230;

Introduction
Some of you may have recently received by way of email a picture from Marie Adams. It seems they have experienced the first dusting of snow at their new home in Arkansas. Now growing up in Tucson I only saw snow in the city maybe once every seven years, and it rarely lasted more than a day. And of course in the almost thirty years I&amp;#8217;ve lived in San Diego I&amp;#8217;ve not experienced local snowfall. But I have b .....]]></description>

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. One day in which we set aside our busy schedules to be thankful. Now, there is nothing wrong with that but the word of God tells us that thankfulness should be our attitude all the time, in all things.

As a nation we will be celebrating a holiday this coming Thursday, the fourth Thursday of November.

Most of the things we do for God we do on purpose. They are intentional, they are consciously planned. But sometimes our most meaningful acts are performed spontaneously or unconsciously. They are not planned; they just flow out of who we are and what our lives are about. Matthew 5:14-16. 14&amp;#8220;You are the light of the world.

Introduction: We all have come here because we love God and we obey our God. We expect God to open closed doors for us and lead us victoriously. But many times in the midst of our perfect obedience to God, we face great challenges in life and encounter failures. In such times we usually tend to blame God and our enthusiasm of Christian life drops. We tend to think why Lord am I facing this situation in spite of obeying you? Why Lord why?

Jesus has led a frontal assault on the Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes&amp;amp;#8212;the religious leaders of Israel. He openly criticized their greed and corruption. O .....]]></description>

The Jewish leaders had haunted Him, contradicted Him, and persecuted Him throughout His entire ministry and now they won&amp;#8217;t even let Him die in peace. The whole of this event can be viewed from the attitudes and reactions of the witnesses.

Intro: Our country was founded on principles of equality and justice. The Declaration of Independence states, &amp;amp;#8220;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.&amp;amp;#8221; This statement alone does a pretty good job of leveling the playing field with respect to favoritism based on class, wealth, r .....]]></description>

Opening Illustration: Play Celtic worship in the background for fellowship time.

Thesis: Patrick role modeled for the Christian community what it means to forgive others. He also taught us that we have to follow the call of God because it will make a difference in this world. He became a hero by winning the Irish to Jesus Christ.

Thesis: Sin has crept its way into our society and it is driving God out and replacing God with evil ways. But Jude tells us to contend for the faith because sin always costs people their lives.

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
