Sunday School, January 4, 2026 Learning to Do Theology, Lesson 4 Part 5

The sermon centers on the transformative power of encountering Jesus Christ, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes not from worldly pursuits or religious rituals, but from a personal, Spirit-led relationship with God. Drawing from the story of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well, it illustrates how Jesus meets individuals in their deepest struggles—shame, isolation, and spiritual emptiness—offering living water that satisfies eternally. The message underscores the necessity of acknowledging one's sin, surrendering to God's will, and embracing a life of spiritual renewal, not through external religious performance but through inward transformation by grace. It calls believers to prioritize their relationship with God, live with integrity, and share their testimony, as authentic faith inevitably produces change and draws others to Christ. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that no one is beyond redemption, and through Christ, even the most broken can find lasting hope and purpose.

The Pattern by Which We are Drawn Out of Communion into Actual Sin We are oftentimes because of the first acts of sin, before we are aware, carried into distempered affections, foolish imaginations, pleasing delightfulness in things that are not good nor profitable (pleasures in the idolatry of self), and hardened in unbelief and sin. John Owen, Overcoming Sin and Temptation: The Power and Efficacy of Indwelling Sin, p. 273 The Law and the Gospel are expositions of God's nature. God is a righteous God = he lives for the advantage of others. "Calvin on the Right Use of the Moral Law" The office and use of the moral law shows the righteousness of God, warns, informs, convicts, and condemns us of our own unrighteousness. For, we are blind and drunk with self-love; we must be compelled to know and confess our own feebleness and impurity. if we are not clearly convinced of our own vanity, we are puffed up with insane confidence in our own mental abilities, and can never be compelled to recognize our inadequacies as long as we measure ourselves by the measure of our own choice (Institutes, I1, 7.6. So deep and torturous are the recesses of the evil of our own idolatry of self, if by the moral law, our idol of self is not dragged from its secret hiding place, our idolatry of self destroys us so secretly that we never even feel the fatal stab (Institutes, I1, 7,6.)

Dear Grace Church, December 7, 2025 John Miller will be preaching for us Sunday. He and Elizabeth live in Macon with their three children who still live at home, and two in college. John pastors Redeemer Baptist Church where our dear friend Joe Hester serves as an elder. John also serves Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary as Vice-President and teaches practical theology there. He and Elizabeth have been our good friends since Bob Selph pastored Grace Baptist of Taylors, SC in 1998 when we planted the church here in Commerce. We love them and appreciate them very much. I encourage you to read Exodus 24:1- 25:9 for the background. Then read and pray through Exodus 24:12-25:9 from which John will preach. Seeking to live in the presence of God together with you, Murray "God With Us" Exodus 24:12-25:9 1. The Privilege of the Presence of God 2. The Privilege of Participation with God

Dear Grace Church, November 23, 2025 In preparing to make the most of the Lord's Day, I encourage you to read the book of Ephesians once again for the flow of pastoral-theological thought. Ephesians 3:14-21 offers the complete thought on Ephesians 1:22-23, and the book of Ephesians as a whole fills up the meaning of our submission to the headship of Christ as it relates to the glory of the church. In addition, I encourage you to read Revelation 11:15 with respect Christ extending his dominion in the earth through the church as it fulfills the Covenant of Grace--"I will be your God, and you will be My people, so that the whole world may know that I am the Sovereign Lord." Seeking to be the fullness of God in submitting to Christ with you, Murray Ephesians Series, Message 8 "The Fullness of God— The Supreme Dominion of Christ and the Glory of the Church" Ephesians 2:22-23   22And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (NKJV)   I. The Headship of Jesus Christ (22)   A. The unbounded authority, power, and dominion of King Jesus   B. Christ governs his church through the law and the gospel   II. The Glory of God in the Church— the fullness of God who fills all in all (Eph. 1:23; 3:14-21, esp. 3:19 "filled with all the fullness of God" and 3:21, "to him be glory in the church")   A. Experience the glory of the Church's communion of righteous love (John 17:20-24; Eph. 1:23; 3:14-21; )   B. Be the glory of God in the world for Christ to extend his gracious rule over the nations— (Rev. 11:15-19)
