A message from the series “Ministry of the Holy Spirit.” The Living Word
Mark 12:18-27

We must be able to make a defense of our Faith by the Word – I Peter 3:15-16

Main Point
We must be absolutely convinced that the Bible/Word is the revelation of God’s truth, and our source of authority

1. What is your source of truth and authority?
verses 18, 24, 27

Verse 24 – Jesus stands clearly on the Scriptures!

John 10:35

2. The Bible/Word is alive with supernatural power because God has spoken it forth from His mouth.
verse 24

Isaiah 55:10-11

Hebrews 4:12

We must be ambassadors that know and correctly handle His Word!
II Timothy 3:16-17

A message from the series “Not Part of a Series.” Christ’s Ambassadors
II Corinthians 5:11-21

Main Point:
Now that we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, we are called to be Christ’s ambassadors. We represent Him to everyone around us.

Ambassador = one who acts as an authorized representative, messenger.

If we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, then we are a new creation through the indwelling Spirit – the old is gone and we are new!
verses 11,17-19

Reconcile = to exchange (as with equivalent coins) God has exchanged in Christ our relationship with Him (enmity-enemies > object of His pursuing love)
*You and I must be reconciled to God Thru Christ!

2. As His ambassadors Jesus has committed the message of reconciliation to us to appeal to the unsaved around us.

Appeal – To call near, invite, beseech, implore

V. 20 ‘we implore you’ = we invite you, urge you, beseech you – be reconciled to God thru Christ!

His Love compels us!

God is making His
Appeal through us!

Luke 14:16-24

Who are you ‘appealing’ to?

A message from the series “Not Part of a Series.” How to Live Free
John 8:31-41

Main Point:
If we will hold to Jesus’ teachings (be a disciple) then we will be set free and live in that freedom.

*Hold = Remain/Abide – Remain in & live in faithfully

Have you become a Christ follower??!

1. I have to first admit that I’m not free. (verses 32 & 34)

I John 1:8-10

2. I have to accept that Jesus makes me His son or daughter (verses 35-36)

3. I have to live an Abraham life = Live by Faith/Trust in His Word. (verses 37-39)

Genesis 15:1-6 “Abraham believed the Lord and He credited it to (Abraham) as righteousness.”

*I have to give His word priority in my life!
