Sermon Preview

In the weeks (and hopefully months) ahead I want to give you the Scripture reference and topic of upcoming sermons and lessons to enable you to prepare for the messages.

August 31, 2008
Sunday Morning: Lord willing I am going to preach from Prov. 25:28. We will be looking at self-control. What areas do you find it the easiest to control yourself? What are the hardest areas for you? How do we balance the biblical call to practice self-control with the biblical view that self-control is the work of the Spirit in our life?

Sunday Evening (6:00):
We will be looking at questions 31 and 32 from the Baptist Catechism.
Question 31 asks, "What do we mean by Christ's humiliation? (Luke 2;7, 22:44; Gal 4:4; Isa 53:3; Matt 12:40, 27:46, Phil 2:8, Mark 15:45-46).
Question 32 asks, "What do we mean by Christ's exaltation? (1 Cor 15:4; Acts 1:11, 17:31; Mark 16:19) We will also spend sometime reflecting on Phil 2:5-11

Sept. 3, 2008
Wed. Night (7:00): This week we will continue our discussion of the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints (eternal security). Continue to Read through Romans 6:1-8:39, 1 John, 2 Peter 1:3-11, and Gal 5:22-23.
Things to consider: How should a professing believer relate to sin? Where does our confidence rest? Can we be eternally secure? Please pray for me: 1) that I would manage my time well; 2) that I would study with diligence; 3) that I would have a clear direction as I study.
