UBC Beavercreek — Sermons

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" we are back in Genesis. This week Jason preached through Genesis 27:1-46.

The main idea for th1e sermon was: Sinfully living our way can break a lot of things, but it can never break the covenant promises of God.

Two main points to be learned from this passage of scripture: 1. Living your own way will always break your life apart. 2. Trusting God's voice above any other will hold your life together.

Questions discussed in this episode: 

Briefly share why it was God's will for Jacob to receive the blessing rather than Esau, and is that contrary to what usual custom during that time?

When Issac gave Esau his only one blessing, and he told him he would live away from the earth's richness... (39, 40), why is that considered a blessing? How are we defining what a blessing is? This sounds more like casting out/curse/life of trouble.

What power do human words have when they are given as a "blessing"? Perhaps the definition of a blessing is God's desires/plans/intentions, said through human lips? Is that why Issac's blessing was irrevocable?

No matter how bad we mess up (fail or sin) can we change God’s will for our life?

In this portion of scripture we see a parent (Rebekah) give direct orders (obey my voice as I command you) to her son Jacob. Now although Jacob sinned many different times during his meeting his father, wasn't he just following what his mother commanded him to do. If he would have chosen to disobey her, would that had been a sin?

Living your own way will always break your life apart - couldn't we also add and many times the lives of others?

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: How Did We Get So Many Christian Denominations?

The question comes from UBC’s “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. 

Questions discussed in this episode: 

Is it a good or bad thing that it feels like there is “a different denominational church on every corner?”

Define essential Christianity?

How does one recognize “False teaching” versus “difference in doctrinal theology” in denominations (for example: baptizing infants)

What denominations, although they identify as “Christian,” are concerning to you and why?

Where does Catholicism fit with the definitions from today? Catholicism does seem to hold the Nicene Creed true, but there are other areas that do not seem to hold with other Biblical truths.

Sermon application point #3 instructed us to “Resolve to love Jesus’ church in all its denominational forms.” What should that look like for us when considering that so many denominations have accepted and promoted liberal theology and practices that are unbiblical? (Same-sex marriage, pro-choice, errancy of scripture, etc…)

What are our secondary convictions at UBC?

UBC is a Baptist church.  What does it mean to be a Baptist? Is there anything that makes Baptists distinct from other denominations?

Briefly explain why UBC is part of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)?

May 4th:

In this edition of UBC "Sermon Discussions" Jason and Jesse discuss the question: “Is sin equal in God’s eyes?” 

The question comes from UBC’s “Asking for a Friend” sermon series. 

Questions discussed in this episode: 

If the ultimate end is either heaven or hell; how will sinners be judged differently? It seems either A or B.  And if so, how does God control the judgements in hell?

Do I need to confess my sins to someone else in addition to God?

Do I need to be specific when repenting of my sins before God or can it be a blanket confession?

Can certain types of sin lead someone further away from God than other sins?

Why doesn’t Exodus 21 (consequences for sin) apply to Christians today - or does it?

Do certain sins determine a Christian’s “status” when they get to heaven?

Can the unrepentant “little lie” send someone to hell just like the unrepentant sin of adultery or murder would?

What does it mean in Romans 1:18-24 when the Apostle Paul says God “gave them up” to their sins?

Can a Christian ever become sinless after repenting of their sin and following Jesus?
