Sermons from Bay Vista Baptist ChurchWe Are One in Christ!
This morning, Brother Danny used Galatians 3:26-29 to remind the church that we are one in Christ. For those who have accepted Jesus in faith, who are saved by God’s grace, are His childre. God does not play favorites, not does he show partiality. We, the people of God, need to stop acting like our external distinctions make us better than someone else, when in God’s family, there is no degree of separation between his children.
What Good is the Law?
As we continue to journey through the book of Galations Bro. Danny reminded us of the purpose of the Law. This message is one of great importance that we need to remember always. We all need to be thankful that God has opened our eyes to the truth of our sin through the Law.
God's Promise Does Not Change
As we continue our study of the book of Galations Bro. Danny reminded us that no matter what happens God’s promises never change. God has made a binding covenant that willl never fail, so as we go throughout our lives we need to remember that God will never break his promises and that He is worthy of placing our faith in.
Fully and Finally Free
As we continue on our journey through the book of Galations Bro. Danny told us of the alternatives that we can choose from. He reminded us of how relying on personal performence to build a relationship with God would end horribly and that the best way of building a relationship is by trusting in the accomplishment of Christ.
From Shadows to Light
This morning, Brother Danny shared with us from all four gospels, as well as other passages, as we all followed the tragedy of Good Friday and the crucifixion of Jesus to the joyous discover of the empty tomb on resurrection morning. For those who have Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we also have a tale of moving from the shadows of death into the light of our salvation!
Father Abraham Knew Best
This morning, Brother Danny shares with us from the book of Galatians, chapter 3. In verses 6 through 9, the Apostle Paul lets his readers know, in the face of the Judaizers, that we can look back to the example of Abraham to demonstrate that God’s plan of salvation for Jew and Gentile is grace through faith, and that it has remained unchanged throughout history.
Are We Ready to Come to the Table?
As we celebrated the Lord’s supper today, Brother Danny remined us of Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth. Paul spoke of how the church at Corinth was becoming divided and was treating the Lord’s supper no longer as the time of rememberence that it should but rather they were treating it as a time to feast while others starved.
All of Grace
As we continue to read through the book of Galatians Brother Danny spoke of salvation by grace through faith. Pual in this book spoke of how no one could be justified by keeping the law and that he had been “crucified with Christ.” As we go thruoghout our lives we need to remember that we are new creatures in Christ.
Stand
As we continue to be led through the book of Galatians, Brother Danny spoke of how we all face times of struggle and how when we do we must stand. He spoke of Peter’s time in Antioch when God called him to eat the food that was deemed unclean by Jewish standards.
United We Stand
In today’s message, Brother Danny shared the importance of unity in the body of Christ, using the text from Galatains 2:6-10. In this passage, we can see the truth that when the church is united IN CHRIST, there are no superstars in the kingdom. All members are important to the mission of the kingdom. As we each work to fulfil our role and our calling in the kingdom, we will find an increase in compassion for others.
