In Acts 24:25 (17-27), Paul is before the governor Felix, who, after hearing the gospel, says, in essence, “Let me get back to you on that.” This sermon explores “spiritual procrastination,” the putting off of spiritual decisions, that can cause us to miss out on God’s best for our lives.

While we often associate excellence in the Christian life with giftedness and the trappings of success, the Apostle Paul points the church at Corinth to “the most excellent way,” which is the way of love, which is spelled out in 1 Cor. 13.

This is the second half of the first installment of this sermon, based on Isaiah 6:1-8. In this message, Pastor Charles explores the effects of Isaiah’s vision of the Lord in terms of his having been enabled to see God as he is, see himself as he is and therefore to hear the call of God. This is the first half of Jan. 10’s sermon, which was to be continued on Jan. 17. However, a cd recorder malfunction prevented us from making the second installment available. The first sermon is presented in two 1/2 hour segments, of which this is the second.

This sermon looks at the reason for the promise in Romans 8:1. There is no condemnation, because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death? What is the law of sin and death, and how does the law of the Spirit of life free us from its grip?

Some think that Romans 8:1 contains the greatest promise in the Bible: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.” In this sermon, Pastor Charles poses the question, “What part of no don’t you understand?” If “yes” means “yes” concerning every promise in scripture, then “no” must certainly mean “no” in this awesome declaration by the Apostle Paul.
