Last week we began our Series: PRAISE. Well I have slightly changed the name because it makes more sense with the language.
Our Series is: At Praise Church We:
And last week we learned: At Praise Church we: Proclaim the Gospel; in our sermons as a church and in our words and lives as followers of Christ.
SO as we continue this series, developing our elevator pitch as to WHO we are as a church, the question was posed last week: What is the R?
So I have a question:
At Praise Church we: R_____________
Any guesses?
Recognize we are not perfect!
Recognize we are not perfect!
The Word of God makes it clear:
as it is written:
There is no one righteous, not even one.
There is certainly no one righteous on the earth
who does good and never sins.
Notice then that the Scripture Continues with a Semi-Colon;
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
SEMI-COLON, means the thought continues:
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
We are not perfect, no one in this building is perfect; no Christian is perfect, so as followers of Christ we are humbled by the truth that what sets us apart from the World is that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
So At Praise Church we Recognize that we are not perfect, and we
Recognize Other People are not Perfect
Recognize Other People are not Perfect
SO WE GIVE GRACE
SO WE GIVE GRACE
We give grace to our Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.
And we give grace to those who are lost!
For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.
So, then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh—called “the uncircumcised” by those called “the circumcised,” which is done in the flesh by human hands. At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
At Praise Church we: Recognize nobody is perfect, We give Grace to Others, and
We have a perfect Savior!
We have a perfect Savior!
We have a perfect Savior! AMEN!
Jesus is perfect in every way! He is without blemish, and He complete, lacking nothing.
And our perfect Savior came and died for sinful man.
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Listen this is a message that the world desperately needs, and we get to proclaim it every single day of our lives.
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
