This 1st session is simply awesome and its by Pastor Matthews.
Mainly will be posting titles and verses =)
How does one get born again?
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
God wants us to receive the blessings that Jesus paid for!
Believe The Good News
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
'Gospel' literally means good news.
And in Greek Salvation is 'Soteria', which means preservation, healing, health, wholeness, prosperity and wellness
Right believing will always produce right living!
What is the Good News?
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name
The Good News is that we have become sons and daughters of God!!
Your New Identity: The Spirit of Sonship
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."
Your Father Loves You
Matthew 7:9-11
9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
God is all out to bless us!
Your New Identity: A Son of God
1. You are forever forgiven!
2. You are made eternally righteous in Christ!
'Righteous' means a position of favour and blessing with God
If Jesus lives in me, I MUST be blessed!!
You Are Forever Forgiven
Hebrews 10:12-14
12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
One sacrifice for sins forever!
Ephesians 1:7
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
You Are Eternally Righteous
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Romans 5:17
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Romans 4:6-8
6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 “ Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.”
Some promises of the righteous found in Proverbs 10:
The memory of the righteous is blessed
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver
When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm forever.
The hope of the righteous will be gladness
Declare Your Father's Love Through Water Baptism
Mark 1:9-11
9 It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. 11 Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Baptism is a response to your Daddy's love!
Romans 6:3-4
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Baptism is a public declaration that you are dead to your old self of sin and death! Baptism is a declaration that you are joined with Christ!
Cool rite?
I learnt so much more once again! :D
Cant wait for next week's service!
Going to the new service venue at GV Marina! =)

To glory in Your grace
You've accepted me
In my frailty
So in humility
I come to You
