Following on the heels of His teaching about possessions is Jesus' teaching about worry. The two go hand-in-hand: if we have set up our possessions as god, and placed our heart there, then we will be in constant fear of their failure because of their fragility and inability to satisfy. We thus set up another idol: worry. Jesus has words of comfort to replace our worry.

Stuff can get in the way of our relationship with God. People, like our family, can, too. And these often do. But we must be determined not to let that happen. Only the good we do in obedience to the Father will last. Everything else goes away.

Once we have placed our faith Jesus Christ for salvation, we are then told to follow in obedience by being baptized. Why? What does it do? Why is it important? This passage from Romans helps explain why we are Baptists.

When you accept the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, your life is radically changed. You are a new creation with the purpose of good works. You don't have to clean yourself up before you come to Jesus. Come to Jesus and let Him clean you up.

Tomorrow is no guarantee for any of us. The rest of this day is no guarantee for any of us. There is an urgency in the decision we will make about Jesus, and it will affect our eternity. What we do with Jesus matters today and forever, and you aren't promised another day to make that decision.

In order to receive the salvation that the gospel provides, one must make a personal response to the free offer. That response involves, first and foremost, faith in Jesus Christ. This message examines that personal response.

The second component of the gospel is the offensive of sin. While our culture has rendered the term 'offensive' nearly meaningless, our sin is nevertheless an offense to God and the reason for His wrath and our condemnation. But there is hope.

This is the first message in a series where we break down The Gospel into six components. This first component is the 'g' of gospel, God's Character. In it, we see not just what God is like, but what God is, and what dynamic that creates in our relationship with Him.

Often, the most profitable prayer we can pray is to pray scripture back to God. Is it biblical? Is it useful? How is it done? These are all questions that are answered in this message.
