The Last Days.

This sermon concludes a study of Colossians by examining the practical outworking of Christian election in daily life. The preacher emphasizes that believers, as God's chosen ones, must put on virtues such as mercy, kindness, and above all, charity, which serves as the bond of perfection. Key theological themes include the necessity of forgiveness modeled after Christ, the indwelling peace of God, and the authority of Scripture in governing thoughts and actions. The text also addresses specific relational duties within households, urging submission and love while explicitly condemning abuse. Ultimately, the message asserts that all conduct should be performed heartily for the Lord, reflecting the truth that God shows no partiality.

Even with all the knowledge of scripture and you've given everything, without Charity you are nothing. Charity will change the way you see people. Charity will always work.

Join us for Sunday Morning Worship at Esta Memorial Baptist Church as Pastor Randy Wilson preaches on "Faith, Hope, and Charity"!

The sermon emphasizes that genuine faith must be evidenced by a consistent pattern of good works and charity toward others, using the biblical example of Dorcas. It argues that believers are created with a specific purpose to serve their community and support those in need, rather than living in isolation or self-absorption. The speaker outlines several indicators of true good works, including selfless motivation, pointing glory to God, utilizing personal gifts, and bringing joy through service. By examining Dorcas's life and death, the message encourages the congregation to actively engage in acts of mercy that leave a lasting spiritual and material legacy. Ultimately, the text calls for a zealous commitment to loving one's neighbor as proof of the life of Christ within.

The Apostles (Matthew)

Paul tell us to stand fast. What practical help does he give us in doing so? We must look to good role models, look to our citizenship in heaven, and look to the coming of Christ!
