2012-05-20-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this
morning May 20th 2012 in the 8:30 service.
Scripture: Philippians 3:1-9
Topic: Grace
Notes:
- Story of woman from childhood approaching in Denver; nervous
breakdowns; trying to figure out how to get to heaven, how to
please God
- Conversation with Hispanic family: How much is enough?
- You can’t do enough to get into heaven; trust only in Jesus
Christ
- Someone thinks their experience should be everybody’s and so
makes rules for people to follow. Traditions, rules,
religion...
- Jesus came to show us we cannot do it and since we cannot, He
came to do it for us.
- People teach that we have to do some things... that we could
backslide and go to hell; stories of fear make people run to the
altar, keep people in bondage and fear thinking Jesus won’t love
them if they do wrong
- Beware of people trying to drag you back
- Works are not a prerequisite but a result of knowing Jesus
- Prayer was never given as a task to complete but a privilege,
giving access to almighty God
