Series: Living Under Divine Power Sunday, June 23, 2013 Pastor Rod Enos REDISCOVERING THE GOSPEL OF GRACE

I. Gospel Of Grace vs. Try Harder A.What Is So Good About The Good News? B.It Is The Power Of God

Romans 1:16-17 (NIV) I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

I. Gospel Of Grace vs. Try Harder A.What Is So Good About The Good News? B.It Is The Power Of God 1.More than Forgiveness

Root word of the Greek word for Salvation sozo, sode'-zo; to save, i.e. deliver or protect -heal, preserve, to make whole.

I. Gospel Of Grace vs. Try Harder A.What Is So Good About The Good News? B.It Is The Power Of God 1.More than Forgiveness 2.More Than A Better Set Of Rules

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (NIV) Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (NIV) 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."

I. Gospel Of Grace vs. Try Harder A.What Is So Good About The Good News? B.It Is The Power Of God 1.More than Forgiveness 2.More Than A Better Set Of Rules 3.More Than An Event, It is a Process C.The Gospel is True Transformation

True Gospel vs. Try Harder Self Effort Proud & Judgmental Faith, Dependence on God Humility & Gratitude Self or systems lifted up Unhealthy fears, insecurity God is Glorified Fear of the Lord Façade, Weariness, Condemnation Bondage True Transformation True Freedom

Matthew 5:21-22 (NIV) "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Matthew 23:4-5 (NIV) They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. 5 "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;

I. Another Gospel: Soulish Christianity A.Where We Get Off Track

Galatians 1:6-7 (NIV) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

Philippians 2:13 (NLT) For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him.

I. Holy Spirit Empowered

A.Faith Releases Grace

Ephesians 2:8 (NIV) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--

I. Holy Spirit Empowered A.Faith Releases Grace B.Striving is a form of Unbelief

Galatians 5:4 (NIV) You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Romans 1:17 (NIV) For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

God Spirit to spirit Grace Empowers Healing Revelation

I. Holy Spirit Empowered, Grace Based A.Faith Releases Grace B.Striving is a form of Unbelief C.Grace Works As We Learn To Rest in God

Isaiah 30:15 (NIV) This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.

IV Our Response Have you been following another Gospel? Repent of Your Striving Ask God for a deeper revelation of His Grace

Something to Remember: When we are living in grace, our life is evidenced by God’s transforming power not our self-effort and is marked by joy and peace and the world is attracted to Jesus.
