What does the Bible say about Salvation? 

 The Bible says that Salvation is offered freely to all men, who in faith turn to Jesus (John 3:16). There is no salvation apart from faith in Jesus (Acts 4:12). The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification (Romans 5:9), and salvation for all who believe (Romans 10:9-10). Only those who receive Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit (John 3:5), and, thus become children of God (Galatians 3:26).
The way a person receives Jesus Christ is through faith in Jesus and repentance towards God. Repentance is a genuine turning from sin, and turning to God. Faith involves believing in Jesus Christ. What we are to believe about Jesus is that He is the Son of God (John 3:16), who died upon the cross to remove our sins, and rose again on the third day (Romans 10:9).
Finally, our salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and this includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification (Romans 8:29-39). Salvation not only impacts our eternity (John 3:16), but also our present state of being (John 10:10).

What is godless chatter?

What is godless chatter? The term godless chatter is used by the apostle Paul when he exhorts Timothy to, “Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some” (2 Timothy 2:16-18, NIV). In context, this passage of Scripture is dealing with the godless chatter of false teachers who were sneaking into the church and trying to corrupt the truth of God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:14-3:9). Paul clearly warns Timothy about them when he points them out by saying, “Their teaching will spread like gangrene” (2:17). Paul likens the godless chatter of false teachers to gangrene, which was a deadly disease that spread rapidly and ate away at a persons flesh. This Greek idiom truly emphasizes the repulsiveness of the ministry of the false...

I.       Introduction: On June 25, 1967 the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the United Kingdom’s contribution to a T.V. show, called Our World, which was the first live global television link. The Beatles were asked to write and perform a song that would contain a simple message to be understood by all nations. What was the song that they wrote? “Love is all you need.” And with that song the Beatles struck a nerve that was felt around the world, as it hit home in the heart of over 400 million television viewers. After playing this song to over 400 million viewers, they quickly released it in the UK, where it soared to the top of the charts to number 1, and then after that they released the song in the US where it also reached number 1 on the billboard charts. The concept of love reaches down into the deepest part of almost every human being’s heart and soul. It has such an appeal to the human race that Amazon ...

Sermon Outline When Jesus is your only option; you’re in a good place! John 5:1-15   I.                 Introduction:  Jeremiah’s faith a.      The reason I have that slide up of a blue car, is because last October around Jeremiah’s 7 th birthday, Lyndsey was sharing a heartwarming story with me about a conversation she had with Jeremiah that day. You see, Jeremiah had asked her for a stamp, and when Lyndsey asked him why, he said, “I want to mail a letter to the car people.” Lyndsey didn’t think much about it, but then a couple hours later she found the envelope, and she asked what it was. She said to Jeremiah, “It feels like money is in the envelope.” Jeremiah said, “It is money. I am going to mail  the letter to the car people so that I can buy my favorite colored car.  I want to send them the letter with my money so I can get a blue car.” Jeremiah had found one of the c...
