Greater Faith, Part 1

by

We all face different struggles and sorrows. We work to find leaders, religious institutions, and spiritual experiences that will give us hope. We live in a time of restlessness and anxiety. The writer of the book of Hebrews encourages us to find Jesus and experience Him because He is Greater. 


1. Let us DRAW NEAR | Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

>In what ways is your heart cleansed by Jesus blood and our body washed with living water? Find     examples in 26-39
>What are some ways people draw near to God?

2. Let us HOLD FAST | Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

>What does the author say is the reason we can hold onto hope? Find examples in 26-39.
>What other things do people put their hope in? Do they satisfy?
>How can a person hold on to Gospel Hope?

3. Let us STIR UP | Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

>In what ways do you think people miss out on experiencing true love?
>When did you experience authentic love? Compile a list of what authentic love looks like.
>What can we do, as a church, to overcome these obstacles and express love to one another and our community? Can you find examples in 26-39?

How to Lose Your Religion

by

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the morning of the first Easter, not only broke the seal of Jesus’ tomb, but it also broke the seal of bondage that religion and sin use to enslave people.

Galatians 2:16 | …we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ…

The True Gospel of Jesus Christ will #SetFREE everyone who repents and believes.  No religious ritual will save you.

Ephesians 2:8-9 | For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 

In this first episode of our series #SetFreeEagle from Galatians you will learn to understand the True Gospel so that you can maintain the true freedom of Christ, in this world.  Here are Three Lessons that will help you lose your religion.

  1. The True GOSPEL is from ____God______ | Galatians 1:1-2
  1. The True GOSPEL is by ____Grace___ & ___Peace___ | Galatians 1:3-4

Two False Gospels

  • Secret knowledge = do whatever you want + Grace
  • Good works + faith = God’s Grace

TRUE Gospel

  • God’s Grace + Faith = Good works
  1. The True GOSPEL is for ___Glory___ to ___God___ | Galatians 1:4-5

Romans 5:8 | But God Demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us

This Week’s Bible Reading
| Galatians 1:1-24 | Ephesians 2:1-22 | Romans 5-8 | 1 Corinthians 15:1-58 |

 

Overcome | Abide: Live Like Jesus 22

by

What kind of tree are you?  Are you and orange tree? Apple tree? Banana tree?

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
– John 15:4 (ESV)

You know a tree by it’s fruit.

Abide in me!  This summarizes the final teachings of Jesus in his last few hours on earth.

As we continue to study the book of John on Sunday mornings, we have transitioned into Jesus teaching on his enduring presence.  As we live in his Spirit we will bear his fruit.
