Basic Biblical Beliefs – Salvation – One Way

      19980802 Basic Biblical Beliefs - Salvation - One Way - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Everyone is looking for #salvation even if they don’t know what it looks like.  It is a big theme in our entertainment, athletics, business, and many other areas.  But, they are merely mirroring the most important question in life:  salvation of our soul.  Is it true that all religions lead to God?  Judge it against the Word of God.  What is the straight and narrow path?  Is it exclusionary when it is open to all?  Is it inconsistent when it answers all of God’s extremely high requirements?  Does it still include all of God’s qualities?  God sent His Son, Jesus, not to condemn us but to save us.

Basic Biblical Beliefs – The Work Of The Spirit In Creation And Salvation

      19980712 Basic Biblical Beliefs - The Work Of The Spirit In Creation And Salvation - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

So, what do you do for a #living?  Shortly after finding out your name and #family members, I would probably ask about your #work.  Last week, we found out about the third person of the one true God, the Holy Spirit.  What does He do?  What part did He play in the creation of the world and not just the world, but your creation?  What would happen to this world without the Holy Spirit?  The biggest problem with this world is sin and man’s propensity to follow into it.  The Holy Spirit is the one who affects change in us.  Through conviction, what does He show us?  We all need this conviction, but it would be merely depressing without regeneration.  Who turns around and gives us comfort and growth?  How have believers been sealed for their earnest inheritance?

Basic Biblical Beliefs – From Collector To Benefactor

      19980524 Basic Biblical Beliefs - From Collector To Benefactor - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Can #people really #change?  How many #self-help books fill the shelves of the local book store?  And yet, the Bible shows us example after example of how Jesus Christ changed people immediately.  Do you realize how hated this man was that Jesus befriended?  Zacchaeus had teamed up with the oppressors to collect all the money he could from his fellow Jews.  How lonely do you think this man must have been?  Guaranteed, he wasn’t welcome in the temple.  How surprised would Zacchaeus have been to be called by name from up in a tree and get a personal invitation?  What was this man’s response?  That invitation is open to you and me, how have you responded?  How do we know that this wasn’t just lip service?

Liberty In Law – Law of Logic

      20050213 Liberty In Law - Law Of Logic - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

We rejoice in the #law of the #Lord.  Why should we rejoice in #limitations or #restrictions?  What does the world look like without #standards?  Is there anything more frustrating than seeing certain people not being held accountable to the same rules as everybody else?  Where is the logic of secular humanists and atheists trying to dismiss the ten commandments?  Who does the Bible say gave us the ten commandments;  Moses, an angel, or God Himself?  How pervasive through every culture are these laws and what does the Bible say about that?  How is the law holy, just, and good?  The Old Testament contains several kinds of law – moral, judicial, and ceremonial.  Some people say Jesus Christ did away with all of that, but did He?  Can we keep the law in its entirety?  Breaking the law leads to death before a perfect God.  Who can solve this problem?  How does salvation change our view of the law?

Christmas Time

      20001224 Christmas Time - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Does #Christmas sneak up on you, or does it take forever to come around?  It probably depends on your age.  But whatever age you are, it can be a wonderful time.  Why do you think God sent His son when He did, not sooner or later?  Any birth is a cause for celebration, but how much more exciting is the birth that split time into before and after?  The birth of Jesus Christ also fulfilled 333 prophecies in the Old Testament.  How did the birth of Jesus bring joy and peace to this world?  How about hope and love?  God came down to Earth to restore a personal relationship with us, will you accept His gift?

How are you planning for the #future?  Every one of us is building a #life right now.  Some of us are just trying to #survive while others are expanding our #RealEstate or #401k.  But, what if there is a test at the end of this world to see what will last for eternity?  All buildings including our lives start with a foundation.  What makes Jesus Christ the only enduring foundation, the solid rock?  How is repentance like excavation?  The foundation is just the start.  What should we put on top of it?  The Bible says what you have built will be tried with fire.  What are works?  How does a works judgment differ from a salvation judgment?  How important will motives and means be?

Mosaics Of The Master – Christ The Surety of Life – Delineated By A Saying – Resurrection And The Life

God’s timing is perfect.  When I started this series, I did not plan to end on #Easter bringing you this message.  But, #God did.  You will #live forever.  But, where?  #Jesus said that He was the #Resurrection and the #Life.  Did He back that up with actions?  Has anyone else been able to duplicate what Christ did?  Did Jesus reveal His identity and most significant truths in large gatherings or one on one?  Why?  Death haunts us all, even more so the older we get.  Can this statement lead us to a decision that will take the sting out of death?  Is it accurate to call death the enemy?  How does this statement of resurrection and life cover everything?

      20061008 Mosaics Of The Master - Christ The Security Of Life - Delieated By A Saying - I Am The Good Shepherd - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

Since #Jesus is the good #shepherd, what does that make us?  #Sheep, it makes us sheep.  That is a pejorative term these days used to imply blind #submission.  But, the true #relationship between sheep and shepherd is one of dependence for sustenance and security.  It also depends on the shepherd and his level of investment in the flock.  Are they his sheep or is he just looking after someone else’s?  How good of a shepherd is Jesus?  The Bible says a lot about how He feeds and protects us even to the point of dying to save us.  What is the shepherd’s staff used for?  How well can sheep see or hear?  Is our security better or worse because our shepherd died and rose again? Does the shepherd know our name?  How do we know and have faith in Him?  Does Christ ever lose sheep?
