Sermon: The Christmas promise

Introduction

An age-old tradition is to go wait in line to sit in Santa’s lap and tell him what you want for Christmas. You eagerly sit on his knee and listen attentively to what he says, hoping he will promise you the things you want. Sometimes, on Christmas morning, you find that you can’t always trust Santa. BUT, there was a promise given over 700 years before Christ that you can take to the bank. Under the anointing and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Isaiah promised that a child would be born and His name would tell His character.

Lesson series: Water baptism – Part 3 (Final)

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Water baptism - Lesson series

1. What if I don’t get baptized? Will I lose my salvation?

A. Due to inadequate knowledge

A person who dies without getting baptized because of not fully knowing the Lord’s command to do so will not lose his place in heaven. It would be so similarly, if it is due to lack of time prior to death or other practical consideration.

Mark 16:16 “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned”.

Baptism is not a Pre condition for salvation but rather a product that should follow.

Sermon: How to be doers of the word?

Doers of word

Introduction

A man walking into church late asked one of the ushers, “Is the sermon done yet?” The usher replied, “The sermon has been preached, but it has yet to be done.” What an answer! The word of God is not just meant to be preached. It’s meant to be practiced. It’s not just meant to be delivered, it’s meant to be done! The book of James gives us a step by step procedure?
