	Evening Sermon 2009-11-08 Devotions on Discipleship Acts 16:31 In a day when many in the church are confused about the critical question of what saving faith actually is, we examine the three aspects of true faith (knowledge, assent and trust), before seeing the distinctive features of a saving faith, which looks away from self and rests completely on Jesus and His work as the only ground for salvation. “What Does It Mean to Believe?” (Acts 16:31) I. Introduction. A. Orientation

	Evening Sermon 2009-11-15 Devotions on Discipleship Matthew 16:24-26 Once you place your trust in Christ as your only hope of heaven, you must begin to follow Him. There must be a course correction in your life – with a change of destinations, there must be a change of direction. When you were headed towards hell, you went that way by a broad and easy road. But now that you're headed towards... portion of it. (ii) We need to listen when it’s read to us in our family devotions or during

	Why Trust and Follow Jesus?	99
	Evening Sermon 2009-11-22 Devotions on Discipleship Luke 16:19-31 Since we only do what we want to do, we consider some of the reasons why we should be willing to pay whatever it costs to trust and follow Jesus: because we owe it to Him. because this is what He commands us to do. because He has the authority to require this of us. because of the blessings we will gain in this life if we do. because life is short. because the world is worthless, but heaven is valuable

	Hindrances to Following Christ	99
	Evening Sermon 2009-11-29 Devotions on Discipleship Psalm 14:1-3 We examine some of the reasons why people don't believe and follow Christ: They don't believe that God exists. They think they're good enough without Him. They believe that God is loving and would never send someone to hell. They have a weak faith. They have a strong desire for worldly things. They want to fit in with the world. *They're afraid of the world. We are challenged to fear the Lord and turn from our

	Is Sin Really That Serious?	99
	Evening Sermon 2009-12-06 Devotions on Discipleship James 1:13-16 We consider one of the many things that keeps us from following Jesus: not taking sin as seriously as we should. Our sins may seem small to us, but even the smallest sin is an abomination to God. We are encouraged to repent of every sin, remembering how evil and dangerous even the least sin is. Even small sins are infinitely serious; but if we will turn from our sins to Christ, they will be forgiven and we will find mercy

	You Reap What You Sow	99
	Morning Sermon 2010-01-10 Devotions on Discipleship Galatians 6:7-9 As we begin the New Year, we review the law of cause and effect: what you sow, you will reap. Though this principle is commonly applied to life in a negative way, it can be applied in very positive ways as well: if you sow good things, you will reap useful benefits. We see: First, the principle: what it means that we reap what we sow. Second, Paul's application of this principle to us more particularly in our

	Why Do You Call Him Lord?	99
	Evening Sermon 2010-01-10 Devotions on Discipleship Luke 6:46 Continuing the theme from the message this morning, we see that sowing to the Spirit is more than simply a matter of availing ourselves of the means of grace; it is also a matter of living in obedience to the Lord. We look at four things: First, that this is not legalism – Jesus is not teaching us salvation by works. Second, that the obedience that sows to the Spirit is full obedience to God’s Law. *Third, that the obedience

	My Soul Is Satisfied	99
	Morning Sermon 2010-01-17 Devotions on Discipleship Psalm 63:5 Have you learned the secret of contentment? Is God's love through Jesus Christ enough to satisfy you? We consider that: #The things of the world can never satisfy the human heart. #Only God is able to do this for us. We are challenged to guard our hearts from deceiving us into thinking things are really other than this. Money, possessions, or fame don’t bring lasting happiness, but may bring more sorrow than good. “My
