Telling Future Generations

On the night before Jesus went to the cross, Jesus spent time with His disciples to help them understand the importance of putting aside petty arguments, and instead, put others first above ourselves.

That night, Jesus set an example before His disciples to show the way that we are to THINK ABOUT OTHERS, SERVE OTHERS, and also LOVE OTHERS, especially those who are our fellow believers in Christ.

This year, our summer ministry fundraiser was hosting the Kramers for a special concert of praise and worship to the Lord!

During the concert, our CEF staff shared a summer ministry report of our upcoming summer ministry outreach, including through our camp ministry at Camp Good News!

Also, at the event, we had the privilege of honoring the life of Bill Wright, who recently went home to be with the Lord. Bill served over four decades with the ministry of CEF of Illinois and Camp Good News, serving on the camp committee, the CEF State Board, and building many, if not most, of the building constructions at Camp Good News through all the many years!

There is a lot of misinformation and unbiblical teaching concerning Mary, the mother of Jesus.

However, the New Testament has much to teach us about Mary, including these three things:

1. Mary needed a Savior like everybody else.
2. Mary had the heart of a mother with a great capacity to love and feel great pain.
3. Mary was quick to turn to prayer and praise to the Lord, trusting in the Lord, even when she didn't fully understand.

God gave MOTHER's HEARTS a great capacity to not only love their children, but also to feel great pain for their children so that a mother's heart is sovereignly moved by the Lord to persistently pray for their children.

Today, we look at a Biblical example from the story of Hannah in the Old Testament that teaches us as mothers' to pray persistently out of a heart of love for our families and our children today!

When you think of the 'Wordless Book,' the 'Romans Road, Gospel tracts, and the 'Bridge Illustration,' -- what do all of these have in common?

They are all various methods to share with others the Good News of Christ!

Methods of sharing the Gospel are many, but the message of the Gospel is singular, because there is only ONE GOSPEL MESSAGE!

Methods are man-made, but the Gospel is God-made because the Gospel belongs to God alone!

Whenever we share the Gospel through whatever our chosen method, we can trust that the Gospel through the proclamation of God's Word, alone has the power to save!

Romans Chapter 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation, for everyone who believes."

Can you Gospel children too much?

What is the connection between the Gospel and spiritual growth?

In this program, we will first look at why is it important to share the Gospel with believers, especially with children, even after they have trusted in the Lord Jesus as their Savior.

And second, we will look at how all spiritual growth teaching for believers is rooted and grounded in the Gospel. In reality, all spiritual growth is simply an application of how we should now live in Christ and for Christ, because of the Gospel!

In Luke Chapter 16, in the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, it was clear that the Rich Man did not know how to get to heaven.

Twice, the Rich Man pleaded for someone to go and tell his brethren so that they would not be like him and end up in hell! Yet, the same answer is repeated twice to the Rich Man, that all a person needs to understand how to get to heaven is found in God's Word.

The question is not what the Rich Man did know, but what the Rich Man should have known, because from cover to cover, the overall message of the Bible tells us how sinful man can be in a right relationship with Holy God and not go to Hell, but how to go to Heaven, all because of faith in Christ, the Promised One alone.

In Luke Chapter 16, through the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, the Lord Jesus dispels four myths about death:

Myth 1: The teaching of universalism at death

Myth 2: The teaching of annihilation at death

Myth 3: The teaching of a second chance for the unbeliever after death

Myth 4: The teaching of purgatory for the believer after death

What was the reason why Jesus told this story/parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus?

It is because the Lord Jesus wants us to know not only the reality of heaven, but also the reality of hell for all those who refuse to hear His Word and trust in Christ alone for their salvation.

This one parable depicted in three parts, as told by our Lord Jesus, was to drive home three main points:

* One sinner has GREAT VALUE!

* One sinner is worth the GREATEST SACRIFICE!

* And over one sinner who repents and believes on the Lord Jesus, there is GREAT REJOICING!

This pointed parable reminds us that we were THE ONE for whom Christ came and died for our sins, so that we can be no longer LOST, but FOUND in a right relationship with Him!

But also, this parable points us to now be THE ONE -- like a shepherd searching for his lost sheep, a diligent seeker looking for their lost coin, or a compassionate parent longing for their lost son--to go and seek out others so that they too would be no longer LOST, but FOUND in Christ!
