Eastern Hills Baptist Church
Sermon Series: Proclaim—The Gospel Has Come
Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.
Acts 15:1-21 CSB
This Morning's Key Points:
1) God's grace is central to the Gospel.
- Only by God's grace can anyone be saved.
- Without grace, the Gospel ceases to be "good news."
- The Gospel of grace is for everyone.
2) We are to be united witnesses of God's grace in the Gospel.
Romans 5:1 CSB
"...a works-based, human-effort driven gospel is no gospel at all. How is a demand for impossible human achievement good news? Anyone who presents a way of salvation that depends in any way on works, rather than God, has contaminated the gospel message... They have no gospel, no good news."
- Max Anders, Holman New Testament Commentary, Galatians
Romans 3:20-24 CSB
Romans 10:9-13 CSB
Romans 14:13-19 CSB
TAKE IT HOME:
Discuss this as a family this week:
- What is one way someone in your family has displayed grace this week?
- Why is God's "unmerited favor" central to the message of the Gospel?
- Has anyone in your family not believed the Gospel? What questions does that person have that need to be answered?
