- WELCOME
- STRUCK ME- HURDLERS RUN EFFORTLESS
- SOME SEEM TO STRUGGLE- OTHERS DON’T
HURDLE DEFINED
- TEMPORARY OBSTACLE
- A BARRIER- WALL A FENCE
- HURDLES ARE NOT WALLS PER SAY
- THEY AREN’T DEAD ENDS
READY FIRE AIM
- PLANNING SERIES TOPICS
- CONVERSATION – SOME THINGS ARE HURLDES
- SOMETIMES WE GET THINGS OUT OF ORDER
PUT YOUR BOAT IN WATER- NO PLUG IN IT
HOSE IN YOUR GAS TANK GO PULL AWAY
- DON’T GET THIS SERIES RIGHT- WE RUN THE RISKS
Putting sanctification before salvation (justification)-SPIN WHEELS
- only be frustrated if you want to act like Christ before you have CHRIST
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:22
22. THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS GIVEN THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL WHO BELIEVE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE.
SCRIPTURE 3:23
23. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:24
24. AND ALL ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS. (JUST AS IF I NEVER SINNED)
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:25
25. GOD PRESENTED CHRIST AS A SACRIFICE OF ATONEMENT, THROUGH THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD-TO BE RECEIVED BY FAITH
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:25
25. HE DID THIS TO DEMONSTRATE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, BECAUSE IN HIS FORBEARANCE HE HAD LEFT THE SINS COMMITTED BEFOREHAND UNPUNISHED.
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:26
26. HE DID IT TO DEMONSTRATE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AT THE PRESENT TIME.
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 3:26
26. SO AS TO BE JUST AND THE ONE WHO JUSTIFIES THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH IN JESUS.
SLIDE 12: SIN
- WORKING DEFINITION
WILLFUL VIOLATION TO THE KNOWN LAW OF GOD
- I WONDER TODAY- HOW MANY ARE TRYING
YOU ATTEND CHURCH – READ SOME SCRIPTURE
KNOW SOME OF THE SONGS – TOOK COMMUNION
NOT BECAUSE WE WERE BAPTIZED
- THINGS THAT SHOULD BE EVIDENCE OF OUR FAITH
- THERE ARE THINGS WE DO BECAUSE OF FAITH
- NOT THE SOURCE OF OUR FAITH
- HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN- ADOPTION
HAVE YOU REPENTED OF YOUR SINS?
SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH-
GRACE CALLS US TO REPENANCE, WHICH IS MORE THAN SIMPLY BEING SORRY FOR OUR SIN, BUT TURNING AWAY FROM OUR SIN. TURNING FROM OURSELVES TOWARD GOD. WHEN WE RESPOND TO GODS GRACE WE ARE ABLE TO REPENT AND BELIEVE.
ROY: FORMER CHURCH
- DIDN’T LIKE ME MUCH- I WORE JEANS- HE WORE TIE
- DIDN’T CARE FOR MUSIC- TELL WORSHIP LEADER
- DIDN’T LIKE THE CHURCH GROWING- HIS WIFE
- OTHERS DIDN’T WANNA EAT WITH HIM-WAITRESSES
- HED BEEN IN CHURCH FOR LONG TIME-SAME SEAT
- SOMETIMES TELL ME- SOMETIMES TALK BOUT ME
- NO ONE WAS SURPRISED AND EVEN EXPECTED IT
- PEOPLE JUST TOLERATED HIM
- I DIDN’T AND NO ONE ELSE SAW ANY CHANGE
- WE ARENT HIRED TO INSPECT SPIRITUAL FRUIT
- BUT NO ONE SAW ANY REAL CHANGE IN HIS LIFE
- NO ONE EXPECTED HIM TO BECOME LIKE JESUS
SO WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO LIVE A LIFE LIKE JESUS
- I WONDERED- HAS ROY EVER BEEN SAVED?
HAD HE GENUINELY REPENTED OF ANYTHING?
I ALSO WONDERED IF HE HAS BEEN SAVED- HAS HE EXPERIENCED ANY REAL LIFE CHANGE
SCRIPTURE MATTHEW 4:17
17. “FROM THEN ON JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, “REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TURN TO GOD, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR.”
JAREDS STATEMENT ON REPENTANCE- DIDN’T MEAN IT
SCRIPTURE 1 JOHN 1:9
“IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNES
SCRIPTURE 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21
21. GOD MADE HIM WHO HAD NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, SO THAT IN HIM WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.
SCRIPTURE 2 CORINTHIANS 5:21.
21. FOR GOD TOOK THE SINLESS CHRIST AND POURED INTO HIM OUR SINS. THEN IN EXCHANGE, HE POURED GODS GOODNESS INTO US.”
STATEMENT ON SALVATION
SALVATION IS A THRESHOLD SO LOW ANYONE CAN COME ACROSS IT
STATEMENT ON SALVATION
BUT ITS SO HIGH NO ONE CAN CLIMB IT
SALVATION IS A GIFT- SAVED BY GRACE- FAITH

POSSIBLE TO LOOK LIKE A GRAPE AND NOT BE ATTACHED
JUSTIFICATION
IS THE FREEDOM FROM THE PENALTY OF SIN
SANCTIFICATION
IS THE FREDEDOM FROM THE POWER OF SIN
GLORIFICATION
IS THE FREEDOM FROM THE PRESENCE OF SIN
SANCTIFICATION– A SCRIPTURE FROM PAUL
SCRIPTURE 1 THESALONIANS 5:23
23. “MAY GOD HIMSELF, THE GOD OF PEACE, SANCTIFY YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH.” (PARTIALLY)
SCRIPTURE 1 THESSALONIANS 5:23
23. MAY YOUR WHOLE SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY BE KEPT BLAMELESS AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST
SCRIPTURE 1 THESSALONIANS 5:24
24. THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS FAITHFUL, HE WILL DO IT.
- PAUL ALSO SAID ROMANS 12:1
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to

SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK
COMMUNION
DO YOU BELIEVE TODAY JESUS DIED ON A CROSS FOR YOUR SINS THAT SOMEHOW THAT HAPPENED FOR YOU- IF SO THEN DECLARE IT TODAY
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 10:9
9. “IF YOU DECLARE WITH YOUR MOUTH, “JESUS IS LORD, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED.
SCRIPTURE ROMANS 10:10
10. FOR IT IS WITH YOUR HEART THAT YOU BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED, AND IT IS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT YOU PROFESS YOUR FAITH AND ARE SAVED.
WHAT IS NECASSARY
BELIEVE IN JESUS ENOUGH TO FOLLOW HIM
HOLINESS IS INSTANTANEOUS AND ALSO PROGRESSIVE
REPENTANCE IS NOT A ONCE AND DONE- ITS AN ENTRANCE
SURRENDER ISN’T A ONE AND DONE EVENT
PAUL SAID I DIE DAILY

MENTORED BILLY GRAHAM
1 All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
SOME TO JESUS I SURRENDUR
SOME TO HIM I BEGRDUGINLY GIVE
2 All to Jesus I surrender,
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.
SOME OF US NEED TO JUST REPENT AND BE SAVED
SOME OF US NOT TO SURRENDER AFRESH AND NEW
WE NEED A NEW FILLING
WE DON’T GET A PIECE OF GOD-
HE GETS ALL OF US
