 R.C Sproul : Quote from  “ what is the Gospel” sermon    We not saved by profession of faith BUT possession of faith.  Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will be saved ! Receive Jesus as savior and Lord by Faith alone and through Grace and not by your works .   Matthew 7:21  Not everyone who says to Me,  ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.   NKJV  Ephesians 2: 8.  For by grace you have been  saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;  it is  the gift of God, 9.    not of works,  lest anyone should boast.  NKJV

The Church includes all those in the world who are actually redeemed in Jesus Christ. The lesson focused on how christians are to relate to fellow believers in the local church and beyond. A. Not everyone is a brother or sister in the Lord or member of the TRUE CHURCH. Matthew 7:17-21 New King James Version 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  John 1:12-13 New King James Version 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [a]right to become childre...

 Hosanna on Palm Sunday    Palm Sunday is a week before Easter resurrection Sunday. When Jesus Road into Jerusalem he came to celebrate Passover and become the Passover Lamb; John 12:13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” and Matthew 21 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:  5 “SAY TO THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, ‘BEHOLD YOUR KING IS COMING TO YOU, GENTLE, AND MOUNTED ON A DONKEY, EVEN ON A COLT, THE FOAL OF A BEAST OF BURDEN.’” 6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, 7 and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats. 8Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. 9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting “Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO ...

 CHRIST SETS US FREE FROM OUR BAD EXPERIENCES  CHRIST HAS THE ABILITY TO FREE US FROM ANY PAINFUL EXPERIENCE THAT HAS AFFECTED OUR LIFE.   I HAVE THREE EXAMPLES OF HOW CHRIST HELP THREE PEOPLE FROM A BAD EXPERIENCE.  THE SAMARITAN WOMAN (JOHN 4:1-26)  CHRIST SHOWED LOVE TO A PERSON THE JEWS WOULD NEVER HAVE RELATIONS WITH DUE TO HER BACKGROUD.  THE DEMON POSSESSED MAN (LUKE 8:26-40)  CHRIST SHOWED COMPASSION TO A MAN THAT EVERYONE GAVE UP HOPE ON DUE TO HIS SPRITUAL CONDITION.  THE WOMAN WITH MEDICAL ISSUE (MARK 5:25-32)  CHRIST’S POWER WAS ENOUGH TO HEAL A WOMAN WHO EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS TO GET WELL.        JESUS IS ABLE TO HANDLE ANY SITUATION THAT YOU MAY THINK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RESLOVE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS TO COME TO HIM AND LAY YOUR BURDEN AT HIS FEET. MATTHEW 11:25-28  King James Version 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these th...

 A short note on the role of the Holy Spirit in prayer from a group bible study.   First thing we MUST know is that The HOLY SPIRIT is a person not just a force or a spirt energy like the FORCE from Star Wars.  John 16: 13 However, when He , the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. -New King James Version He is a part of the TRINITY - all three were present at the baptism of Jesus Matthew 3:13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit ...

Bible reading tip     Bible reading tip from the Sunday school teachers and Ministers of Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church. When you read therefore in scripture; you need to read what proceeds the verse. The reason is because that word means the information prior to it is very important. The prior information helps define or explain what follows the word. They say that:  "We want to know what the therefore is there for "!   2 Timothy 2:15 : Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -King James Version https://www.facebook.com/gethsemane.baptistchurchbx
