A Time To Choose
A Time To Choose Introduction. I have decided to take another short excursion away from the book of Romans for the next two weeks. My decision follows what was to me the witnessing of what can only be described as the lowest point in the history of this state respecting the freedom of its people. This sermon is going to take a journey from where we are to where the Lord would have us be. It’s a journey that is…

Behold The Man
Behold The Man The consideration I had respecting this message this morning is related to that of the father, but more importantly the father as a man. My desire is to give consideration to what that means and to analyze ourselves in light of what it is to be a man. It’s not an easy subject to address, many people have their own idea of what a man is, what their picture of a man should look like. In a…
The Source of Assurance
The Source of Assurance Romans 15:4 This is the third of a four part mini-series on Romans 15:4, a passage that underlines our Church and tells of the focus with which we have to bring to all people the hope we enjoy. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. This morning has its focus on the SOURCE OF ASSURANCE, that is that it is the Scriptures Bring you…
Written For Our Learning
Written For Our Learning For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Rom 15:4) When considering the first part of this verse last week we had seen the infinite value of “that which was written aforetime”, the Scriptures, the words of God. We take for granted that there is nothing that the Bible does not speak to, either directly or indirectly; that it had an evident effect…
Written Aforetime
Written Aforetime We Would Know Nothing If It Were Not For The Bible Pr Edi Giudetti 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. We would know nothing if it were not for the Bible. Without the Bible we would know nothing about how life began about our purpose in this world about God about where we stand before a holy God about judgement and…
The Fullness In Christ
Fullness in Christ (Reading: 2Corinthians 5:11-21) “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” 2Corinthians 5:19 [Pray] Introduction: Today’s message is very much a gospel message. In our reading today [vv 11-21] the apostle Paul highlights [among other things] the spiritual changes that occur in an individual who is born again by virtue of the gospel of Christ. What we realize is…
Christ Pleased Not Himself
For Christ Pleased Not Himself 1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. (Romans 15:1-3) Bare ye one another’s burdens. The consideration that I have as I look at this passage is that the entire focus…
Upholding One Another
Upholding One Another Reading Romans 14:7-23 I have often spent time thinking about what my life would have been like had I not believed the gospel. I think of how my life has been so incredibly blessed and how different my life would have been had the Gospel not transformed me completely. Like many people my life was heading on a trajectory of potential tragedy, not as much in life but certainly the end of life. At the end of my…
