The Gospel Message
Churches pervade our society. Among them there are many views and many beliefs. But, biblically, there is one truth. A church needs to hold forth that truth. What is the gospel truth?

There is a tendency for the Christian to wander. I wish to encourage you to search you heart and notice how close / far you are from God. Then, I remind you to respond and be closer drawn to Him.
Grace is receiving something you do not deserve. Mercy is not receiving what you do deserve. Our text mentions the term under consideration. It is my objective to contemplate the subject of mercy.
Our text speaks of a guiding light. It also tells of its entrance. Let us consider these things as we think about spiritual enlightenment.
I want you to know why it is we come here and what it is we declare. I want you to know, plain and simple, about the gospel.
What if you knew the future. How would you respond? For me, I think too much information is not good for us. May we learn from Hezekiah's experience.
The Bible teaches us to pray. Sometimes prayer is all we think we need. Then, sometimes we have no need of prayer. I submit unto you that both of these extremes are wrong.
Often, our resources are not very much. As a result, we might wonder what good we are doing. I submit unto you that your labor for Jesus is worthwhile. Your impact is greater than you think.
We are familiar with the dual concept of strength yet tenderness, "solid as a rock" yet sensitive. I direct your attention to the sovereign Son of God Who is more loving than anyone you know.
We often describe Hell. I submit that we then fail to consider that Hell is also punitive in measure. For this reason, I draw your attention to the text to consider everlasting punishment.
