2011-08-28-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning August 28th 2011 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: I John 1:8-10;
2:1-2
Topic: Sin
Notes:
- Sin is why Christ died; man disobeyed God, trying to draw life
from something other than God and man’s spirit died
- Emotions and feelings now control man; the human race is confused
& twisted
- On the cross God reconciled man to God; we are new creations,
living by the Spirit and in the sanctifying process
- Eternal salvation: He started it and He will finish it; your
condemnation is removed forever but temptation remains
- Example: hurricane Irene... power and dominion (of sin) gone but
influence remains
- Temptation is a proof that I am saved; it’s not my fault that I’m
tempted but I have the power to not give in
- Some think they don’t sin... thinking of sins of commission
(obvious sins), but sins of omission remain, not doing the good we
know to do
- Not praying for our President and other authoritative leaders is
a sin of omission
- When you sin, don’t stare at it; it came out of your heart but
don’t grieve too long over it; run to Jesus
- The enemy wants to keep you from God’s forgiveness as long as
possible; the longer you wait, the longer your relationship with
Jesus will be disrupted and disturbed
