The Six Gs of the Gospel: GUILT
Genesis 3:1-13 The Tempter’s Deception of Eve:
  • The Lie of Inaccuracy—Planting doubt about what God has said.
  • The Lie of Unaccountability—You can disobey without consequences.
  • The Lie of Independence—You don’t need God.
What Sin and Guilt Do:
  • Messes up our relationship with God.
  • Messes up our relationship with others.
  • Messes up our own health and wholeness, leaving us unfit for heaven.
God asked the question “Where are you?”
  • It is a question that begs for honesty.
  • It is a question that begs for self-examination.
  • It is a question that begs us to get found by a God who seeks the lost.

    The Six Gs of the Gospel: GOOD
    “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.”  - Romans 1:16 The word “gospel,” from the Greek word euangelion, literally means “good news.”  May this study of the Six “G”s of the Gospel  be a reminder to us of the truly good news of eternal and abundant life that is available to every person through Jesus Christ. God is great, God is good!
    • 1 Chronicles 16:34

    Isaiah’s Call
    Series: (All)
    Isaiah 6:1-8 When the throne of Judah became empty after Uzziah’s 40-year reign, the prophet Isaiah was reminded that the throne of heaven is never empty.  He was given a glimpse of the throne room of heaven. Through the heavenly vision, Isaiah was given a clearer understanding of the Lord God Almighty. (6:1-4) Isaiah also gained a clearer understanding of himself. (6:5-7) Finally, through the work of God in his life, Isaiah was able to present himself to God for service. (6:8)

    Why Building on the Wrong Foundation is Useless
    “Why Building on the Wrong Foundation Is Useless” Matthew 7:24-27  Jesus wrapped up his Sermon on the Mount with a little illustration about The Wise and Foolish Builders. The story is really not about architecture or house construction, but rather about the foundation of people’s lives.
    • “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on the rock.”
    • But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like the foolish man who built his house on sand.”
    You build your life on a firm foundation when you live in faithful obedience to all Jesus has taught you in every area of life. You need the firm foundation of Christ because the storms of life are coming. You need the firm foundation of Christ because eternity depends on Him.

    Why Judging Others Is Useless
    Matthew 7:1-5 Who gets hurt when Christians are judgmental toward others?
    • The one being looked down upon
    • The one with the judgmental attitude
    • The church itself
    Why do we tend to make rotten judges?
    • We carry our own biases and prejudices.
    • We tend to be vindictive.
    • We tend to project our own faults onto others.
    • We don’t know all the facts or circumstances.
    • People are ultimately answerable to God their Maker, not to us.
    How can we be a positive influence on those who  have gone astray without being judgmental towards them?
    • Be discerning.
    • Be personally pure.
    • Be loving, not condemning.
    • Be redemptive, not destructive.

    Belonging Fully to God
    Series: (All)

    Psalm 24 - A psalm of David.

    The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,     the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas     and established it on the waters.

    Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?     Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,     who does not trust in an idol     or swear by a false god.

    They will receive blessing from the Lord     and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him,     who seek your face, God of Jacob.

    Lift up your heads, you gates;     be lifted up, you ancient doors,     that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?     The Lord strong and mighty,     the Lord mighty in battle.
    Lift up your heads, you gates;     lift them up, you ancient doors,     that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory?     The Lord Almighty—     he is the King of glory.
