The Open Word (Audio)

Any mason knows that the cornerstone of a building is absolutely pivotal to its foundation. The Word of God says that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone of the Christian faith. Without Christ, the entire church collapses. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that though the Pharisees and Sadducees worked hard in their religious rituals to appease God in their own strength, because they rejected the Chief Cornerstone, they stood condemned and outside the Kingdom of God.

The Bible says that Believers are to love one another as God first loved us. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that we are commanded to love each other. This means that demonstrating God’s love to others, even those with persnickety personalities, is never an option. In fact, sometimes we must lead our hearts and decide to love even we don’t feel like it. The good news is that as we demonstrate God’s love to each other and even to our enemies, the world will recognize the power and grace of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus loves us with the agape love of God. He then asks us to love our brothers and sisters in Christ with this same powerful love. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that in order to obey the command to love we must be intentional about putting aside our former ways of dealing with people that included evil divisive things like deceit, malice, jealousy, and strife. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can choose to demonstrate God’s agape love to one another so that Christ might be glorified.

In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that obedience to Christ is evidence that we are truly converted. Though our obedience does not earn us salvation, true obedience comes when we belong to the Lord and want to please Him with our lives. Pastor David also points out that those who obey only when it is convenient or when they feel like it should examine themselves and their relationship with God. The true convert will submit to the Lord’s leadership no matter the circumstances, whether it is convenient or not.

Throughout the history of man, people have tried to earn salvation and forgiveness of sin. In fact, there have been some religious institutions that have duped people into trying to buy salvation for themselves or their loved ones. In today’s message, Pastor David teaches us that the only thing that can buy our salvation is the precious blood of the Lamb of God. When Jesus died on the cross, He cried out, “Tetelestai”, or paid in full, because His invaluable sacrifice was the only acceptable way we could be reunited with the Father.
