By Justin Edwards
Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning May 23rd, 2010 in the 10:30 service.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2; Romans 6:11-14
Topic: Sin
Notes:
– Stationary I-beam; criminal carried cross the cross beam
– Jesus’ crucifixion was the greatest insult… act of rebellion
– Sin started when Lucifer rebelled, started the kingdom of I (self)
– Jesus crossed out the kingdom of I; cross became the center…
– The cross is the plan of God
– Because of sin, God turned His back on Jesus; because of righteousness, the world turned their backs on Jesus
– Hall of faith: their sins unmentioned in N.T… focus on their faith
– You will fall but He will forgive you; when we sin we run to God
– Sin defeated but it is not dead, has the power to deceive
– Military police have authority over military but not over citizens just as sin has no authority over the saved
– We have the power to evaluate sin and choose not to indulge
– Lions cannot defeat flies; we are conquerors but cannot be rid of sin
– Backsliding, legalism. We cannot make people holy with rules
– We are made a new creation when we look to the cross of Jesus
