This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” For the last few messages we have been looking at the importance of renewing your mind in order to accept and experience the grace of God. This message flows in that same vein as I seek to pick up where we left off yesterday.

(Read Romans 8:1,2) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In our last message we looked at how a Born-Again believer is a new man, in an old body, who needs a new mind. Today we get to a couple of verses that are somewhat challenging to understand if you do not know the context in which they were written. I love Romans 8:1,2 and I often quote these verses, but like any other quote, if the text is taken out of the context, it can easily be misc

(Read Romans 7:14-25) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In our last message we looked at how God provided a perfect Law to imperfect people to help us realize how imperfect we are and how we stand in need of a Savior. Without that Savior, Jesus the Christ, we would be doomed. And even after being Born-Again, we need God’s help to transform our mind (the way we think), emotions (the way we feel), and will (the way we make decisions) to line

(Read Romans 7:1-6) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In our last message we looked at how the Lord, through the power of the Holy Spirit, has equipped, enabled and empowered us to live a righteous life that is pleasing in His sight. In this message, as we continue to walk through Paul’s letter to the church in Rome, the Apostle continues to flow in that same vein. Paul says:

(Read Romans 6:19-23) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” Yesterday we learned that we can actually become a slave to righteous living if we embrace the fact that Jesus delivered us from the power of sin and if we then also change the way we think, feel and make decisions through the transforming power of God’s Word. Let’s see what Paul says as he continues:

(Read Romans 6:12-14) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” Yesterday we took a look at the symbolism behind water baptism. The Apostle Paul painted a picture for us, upon the canvas of our minds, that made it painstakingly clear that we (as New Testament believers) should embrace the fact that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ.

<p>Luke 13:6-9 ¶ He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he&hellip;</p>

(Read 1 Samuel 22-1-4) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” After the awkward incident in Gath where David pretended to be a mad-man, scratching on doors and allowing saliva to run down his beard, David took off again. This time he fled to Adullam and he found refuge in a cave.

(Read 1 Samuel 19:18-23) This morning we continue our series “Grace that is Simply Amazing.” In each of the past two days we have learned about an attempt king Saul made on David’s life and in each of the attempts one of Saul’s flesh-and-blood children stepped in to save David from their father. This morning we will see another attempt, but this time the Lord Himself will step in to save David.

(1 Corinthians 10:23 NLT) You say, “I am allowed to do anything”–but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”–but not everything is beneficial.

(Rom 5:1-5 NLT) Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

(Dan 3:15 CEV) “Now I am going to give you one more chance. If you bow down and worship the statue when you hear the music, everything will be all right. But if you don’t, you will at once be thrown into a flaming furnace. No god can save you from me.”

(Jer 18:1-4 KJV) The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

(Mat 15:24 NLT) Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.”

(Mark 5:37-40 NIV) He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.

(Gen 33:19,20 NLT) Jacob bought the plot of land where he camped from the family of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver. And there he built an altar and named it El-Elohe-Israel.

(Gen 33:4 CEV) But Esau ran toward Jacob and hugged and kissed him. Then the two brothers started crying. This morning we continue our new series entitled, “Faith and Patience VOL III – Never Give Up!” by continuing to look at the life of Jacob.

(Gen 31:31 CEV) Jacob answered, “I left secretly because I was afraid you would take your daughters from me by force.

(2 Cor 4:1 NIV) Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. This morning we continue our new series entitled, “Faith and Patience VOL III – Never Give Up!” A couple of days ago we talked about how Paul arrived at God’s expected destination for his life. He is such a tremendous example of perseverance for focus that I want to go back to his life.
