-
We are free at full for Rachel and Rebecca and tearsa for the
-
ministry and song. Beautiful choreographer brother
-
Bart and I, he's going to come and share word of personal
-
testimony. I thank the Lord that he has.
-
See if me uncapped made by his grace, I grew up in a Christian
-
home and we attended the free Presbyterian Church, Myron
-
Avenue in Belfast. There was a large Sunday school
-
there with over 100 children attending every week.
-
I remember attending Sunday school even as a tiny tot and
-
climbing up into the back of a very old Caravan.
-
I think it was that was used for some disco classes.
-
At that time, went along the side of the main Church.
-
Faithful, Sunday school teachers, taught me week-by-week
-
portions of the Bible and events from the Bible that still stuck
-
with me today. At home every morning before
-
leaving for school. And every evening after dinner,
-
we had family worship, we took turns reading a verse from a
-
chapter of the Bible. I'm praying and we still do.
-
We do this today? When wake up Sunday school, I
-
remember Willie Ferguson as a Sunday school teacher asking
-
each of us in the class. Whether we received not direct
-
question was met with her. I was nearly served but I knew
-
it wasn't and nearly wouldn't be good enough.
-
From the age of nine. I attended by anger and
-
dependent Christian School along with my brother and others from
-
Murray and church. The Christian School is sooo
-
needed in these dark days and there's an anchor to so many
-
children who would otherwise fall into the sense of the
-
world. It teaches the same subjects is
-
the government-run school but to a higher standard and teaches in
-
light of the moral standard and truths of the Bible while I was
-
at my Maria. and I was privileged to sit under the
-
preaching of Reverend Health's, Plumbing, Reverend Stephen
-
Hamilton, and Reverend Jim Hardin, and it was while
-
attending young people's Fellowship, Reverend Harden
-
discussed The Roman Road of Salvation, this was using the
-
book of Romans and text from up to point someone to Jesus, as
-
Savior and Redeemer. The only one that can forgive
-
her sins after hearing the Roman Road of Salvation.
-
I didn't immediately go down that path, so to speak.
-
But the Holy Spirit was definitely working on me.
-
I always loved learning about creation hide the Bible so
-
accurate, when it mentions, the creative power and works of God.
-
Some and the Psalms it says the heavens declare.
-
The glory of God, it's a text, the shoes, God's creation, truly
-
shoats that there is an intelligent designer.
-
Romans 1 verse 20 says, for the invisible things of him from the
-
creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by
-
the things that are made us even his eternal power and godhead.
-
So that they are without excuse God was using his creation for
-
me to understand him as Creator. One night at about 3:00 in the
-
morning, I couldn't sleep. I knew that I could no longer
-
sleep another night without being.
-
Sure of where I would be, if I died, I started reading the book
-
of Romans, I read it from beginning to end.
-
It was an incredible moment of Revelation for my shul.
-
I understood each verse and I could see that I was a Lost
-
Sinner. Romans 3 verse 10 says there is
-
none righteous no not one and Romans 23.
-
Verse 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
-
Romans 5 and he upped his but God commendeth his love toward
-
us in that while we were yet. Sinners State for us and Romans
-
6. Verse 23 says, for the wages of
-
sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal
-
life through Jesus Christ, Our Lord I was worthy of Eternal
-
punishment and hail. If I didn't love Christ, come
-
into my life, forgive my sins and give me a new life.
-
Remember, on previous occasions of reading, second Corinthians,
-
five or 17. Therefore, If any man be in
-
Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away,
-
behold all things are become new.
-
I had not had that change of heart, the priorities of my life
-
for herself and not for gold. So, as I read the book of
-
Romans, I ask God to forgive my sins.
-
Cleanse my heart and make me a new creature for him room.
-
Z at verse 30 and 39 says for I am persuaded that neither death,
-
nor life nor angels, nor principalities nor powers nor
-
things present or things to To come nor height nor depth nor
-
any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of
-
God which is in Christ. Jesus, our lord, what Assurance
-
of salvation for me this is always one of the most amazing
-
verses of the Bible. God loves love reaches into our
-
hearts. I can never be taken away.
-
Romans 10 verses 9 to 13 reads. Lift Thou shalt confess with thy
-
mouth, the Lord Jesus. And shalt believe in thine heart
-
that God hath raised him from the dead.
-
Thou shalt be saved for with the heart, man, believeth unto
-
righteousness. And with the mouth confession is
-
made unto salvation for the scripture.
-
Saith whosoever, believeth on him, shall not be ashamed, but
-
there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.
-
For the same Lord over all is Rich unto all that.
-
Call upon him for whosoever shall call upon the name of the
-
Lord, shall we? See.
-
Moved and you that I receive now.
-
I had a change of heart. Everything I did, I did to the
-
glory of God, the free Presbyterian Church started a
-
comp him cold doing something more for God.
-
And I was at this time that the parable of the business
-
marketing talents to each of his servants, according to their
-
ability, really spoke to me Weller.
-
God gives you just one Talent or five talents or more.
-
He wants you to use your talents and the service of the church
-
and I would just ask you argue sieved, have you asked God to
-
forgive your sins, come into your heart and take control of
-
your life. And if you are saved or talents,
-
has God, given you, and are you using them for his service in
-
half? Well, thank you Mark, for
-
sharing that word of testimony. Mark, of course, is a mountain
-
with a number of different talents.
-
He's the man that set up onto spearheading our internet
-
Ministry, that God is using On Blessing.
-
So those who are listening and watching tonight, have Mark to
-
thank for setting up this ministry but he'd appreciate the
-
word of testimony. I our Bible reading.
-
The safe thing is taken from 2nd Corinthians.
-
Second Corinthians chapter 4. We're going to read the first
2 Corinthians 4 chapter mention
-
six versus second, Corinthians Chapter 4.
-
Verses 1 through 26. Let's hear the word of gold. 2nd
-
Corinthians Chapter 4 verses 1 through 26.
-
Therefore seeing we have received this ministry as we
-
have received Mercy, we faint not but every ninth, the hidden
-
things of dishonesty. Not walking in craftiness, not
-
handling the word of God deceitfully, but by
-
manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to Every
-
Man's conscience in the sight of God.
-
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are Are lost in
-
whom the God of this world. Hath blinded the minds of them
-
which believe not lest the light of the Glorious gospel of
-
Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them for we
-
preach, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the Lord and
-
ourselves your servants for Jesus sake, for God, who
-
commanded the light to shine out of Darkness, have shined in our
-
hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in
-
the fears of Jesus Christ. Well, and the reading they are
-
at verse 6 and we pray. God will stomp was only approval
-
and blessing. That's reading a bunch of and
-
precious word. Now, my text tonight is found in
-
2nd Corinthians chapter 4, and verse 3, it reads as follows.
-
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.
-
And I want us to think tonight and the theme that I've entitled
-
the cause and the consequences of hiding the Gospel.
-
They this is indeed a Solomon taxed, it contains the most
-
serious message. You see the Apostle Paul didn't
-
look upon or view the preaching of the Gospel as I agree.
-
Sure. Or as a task to fulfilled in a
-
light-hearted manner, he fully relied on preaching.
-
The gospel. As a vital part of his ministry,
-
is he from the day of his conversion, God had called him
-
to be. A gospel preacher and as a
-
gospel preacher, he faced many challenges he experienced many
-
difficulties along the way he had trials and troubles, he had
-
Fierce adversaries. And foes even at times he grew
-
weary faint-hearted and, and whale doing and yet despite fear
-
within and fear without all the way Lee was going through this.
-
He's soft to be fearful to this grid charge and that God had
-
called him to God. He knew had put him into this
-
ministry. He acknowledged in Acts 26 22
-
that he obtained help of God. He knew he wasn't sufficient in
-
an office for himself, but his sufficiency his strength was in
-
God and the New Testament records.
-
For us, Paul's life of service and devotion as a gospel
-
preacher. Remember, he tells us there and
-
First Corinthians in chapter 1 and in verse 22, he says for the
-
Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom, but we
-
preach Christ crucified under Jews a stumbling-block and unto
-
the Greeks foolishness. He goes on to tell us there and
-
chapter 2, he says in a rather, and when I came to, you came not
-
with Excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you, the
-
testimony of God for, I determined not to know anything.
-
Among you see of Jesus Christ and him crucified and I was with
-
you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling and my speech.
-
And my preaching was not with enticing words of man's Wisdom.
-
But in demonstration Creation of the spirit, and of power that
-
your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man, but in the
-
power of God, and if you look at Second Corinthians 4:5, he tells
-
us this for we preach, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus, the
-
Lord and ourselves your servants.
-
For Jesus sake. Paul's Ministry that God had
-
given to him centered in the person and work of the Lord
-
Jesus. It wasn't in the VA in
-
philosophy. If man, it wasn't on some social
-
remedies of the day, it certainly wasn't on climate
-
change, that wasn't the focus and it certainly wasn't
-
lgbt-related. It wasn't a religious rights and
-
ceremonies of man. It wasn't even on politics of
-
the day. He didn't even focus on the
-
moral issues and values of the day but he focused on Christ and
-
Christ Alone. He tells us something.
-
Here is a right to the Corinthians but if our gospel be
-
hid, It it is head to them that are lost.
-
What is the greatest crime in the century?
-
I believe the greatest crime in the century happens today and
-
said-- churches churches that were open to the glory of God
-
churches, that were opened for the preaching of the gospel
-
because mayonnaise churches, today are closed and many
-
churches today, have lost their focus on the gospel.
-
It was that a doctor Peasley that said, gospel preaching.
-
Oh, Opens churches and the opposite.
-
Then is true, not preaching, the gospel, not preaching Christ and
-
him crucified. What happens eventually the
-
church days and weathers and becomes closed.
-
The gospel is not a trivial matter, look at our text,
-
there's four things here, you've got the testimony of the Hidden
-
gospel. If our gospel behead, Notice the
-
words Our Gospel, that's interesting.
-
Is he hears the testimony of the Apostle.
-
Paul. Whose gospel, is it?
-
It's God's gospel, but he calls it here.
-
Our Gospel that is himself, and the people that were with them.
-
He had a personal testimony to the saving power of the Gospel
-
in his own life. Remember in the road to
-
Damascus, he was dead in trespasses and sins.
-
How he was spiritually, blind to go.
-
God and Jesus, Christ and sin, and a soul and salvation.
-
He was sprightly disease. Did who thought her real fear of
-
God at that time? And yet, he's not my because of
-
what happened in the Damascus Road.
-
He's not a changed man. He is a transformed man.
-
The persecutors become a preacher.
-
The blasphemers become a Believer.
-
Hi, was it possible? Here's the answer for God.
-
Who commanded the light to shine out of Darkness, not takes you
-
back to Genesis chapter 1. One verse one and two, what does
Genesis 1 chapter mention
-
that God? Um, have shined in our hearts to
-
give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the fears
-
of Jesus Christ, hears Paulo's personal experience, God who
-
commanded the light to shine out of Darkness.
-
The God who said let there be late well that seemed God by his
-
creative power. He have shined in our hearts.
-
And what do these Shane into our hearts.
-
The light of the Glorious Gospel of God in the face of Jesus
-
Christ. And that's what see if to that's
-
what changed him. That's what transformed him and
-
he was fully persuaded in his whole heart and mind that what
-
he had experienced was the power of God.
-
God unto salvation. Remember what he says in Romans
-
1 verse 16, for I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it
-
is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that
-
believeth to the Jew first and also, to the Greek for therein
-
is the righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith.
-
As it is written, the just shall live by faith.
-
That word power is the word dunamis from which we get the
-
English word Dana made and you got to think of explosive energy
-
and the gospel is like explosive energy to those, that hear the
-
gospel and to those to whom the gospels applied, you see the
-
gospels, the answer. And here's why Paul risked his
-
life day and Ely, he lived to exalt and magnify the name of
-
the Lord, Jesus Christ, you know, that the neum Jesus refers
-
to his Humanity. The name Lord refers to his
-
daddy, the name Christ, as he emphasized this morning with
-
fares to his ministry. The gospel is a very Dynamic.
-
Now message it's the explosive energy of God and here's a
-
mound, he's burdened. Here's a man who's bent and
-
reaching souls for Christ and he lived his life with the full
-
intent of presenting Christ. To all who would hear them.
-
He knew the reality of what it meant to be a lost soul, he
-
could see them dead and send. He could see them Spirits,
-
they've claimed he could see them spiritually disease
-
destined for damnation and he says this therefore seeing we
-
have this ministry as we have received Mercy, speaking about
-
his personal experiences, testimony we finished not in
-
other words we're not going to lose heart.
-
We're not going to give up. We're not going to quit because
-
Paul was possessed by the gospel, it felt his heart and
-
mind. Mind.
-
And you see we live in a day when preachers and sadly.
-
Or D and clergyman in certain churches, do not know what the
-
gospel is. And yet this man could say in
-
1st Corinthians 9 and 16 woe unto me.
-
If I preach, not the gospel and it's good to have a fine
-
building over here on her fifth anniversary and we rejoice in
-
this building, it's good to have a program.
-
It's good to have activities and even good to have a strong
-
congregation when everybody's here.
-
But that's nothing. You can have the building the
-
program, the activity you can have hundreds of people and yet
-
not have the gospel. Paul wanted and longed and you,
-
the necessity of a faithful gospel Ministry that centered or
-
on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
He knew the gospel, he was possessed by the gospel.
-
He loved the gods, he lived for the gospel.
-
There was no room for changing the gospel.
-
No room for diluting, the gospel truth.
-
You, the gospel starts with God and yet he called it Our Gospel.
-
There's the testimony of the head and gospel very quickly
-
think about the tragedy of the Hidden gospel, he Says of Our
-
Gospel behead, ask yourself who's behind the hating of the
-
Gospel. And the answers given to us in
-
the next verse. We don't have to second guess,
-
look at verse 4 and whom the God of this world has blinded the
-
minds of them. Which believe not the God of
-
this world is another title for the devil and you see as the
-
true gospel preacher Harold's forth the gospel and people hear
-
it. People maybe read it in the
-
taxed of Holy Scripture, people see it before their very eyes.
-
Sadly, those who To see and hear and read the gospel.
-
Can go on with a Christ without a sense of appreciation, without
-
understanding of what that message is all about, without
-
having a desire or an appetite for it, something it's not
-
important to them. Why?
-
Because the Bible tells us 2nd 1st Corinthians, 2:14 the
-
natural man. Receiveth not the things of the
-
spirit of God for. They are foolishness unto him.
-
Neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned
-
and you see what is happening to their natural mind and heart as
-
The devil is at work because his goal is to deceive and to
-
devalue and deny and doubt and get them to justice.
-
Believe the gospel, the God of this world.
-
What has he done? He hath blinded the minds of
-
them, that believe not. Here's here's the activity off
-
the devil, the devil's. An expert witness.
-
They, the devil's being revealed here is the one who desires and
-
uses his power to exercise over the hearts and minds of
-
unbelievers. So that they stay blinded and
-
they stay in the dark as far as the gospel as concerned over
-
there in the Gospel of Luke in Luke chapter 8 and in the verse
Luke 8 chapter mention
-
15. We read these words by way of
-
explanation whenever we think about the parable of the sower,
-
he says. Sorry it's verse 12.
-
Luke chapter 8 verse 12, those by the wayside.
-
Are they that hear. So think of something hearing
-
the gospel, then cometh. The devil at that moment in time
-
and take us away the word out of their hearts lest, they should
-
believe and be saved and over there in John chapter 12 and in
John 12 chapter mention
-
the verse 14, We have something similar, he has blinded their
-
eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with
-
their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and
-
I should heal them. And that was a quotation.
-
Of course from the book of Isaiah, see the devil's buzzing.
-
He does not want the light of the Glorious gospel to shine
-
forth into your heart because he doesn't want you to be saved.
-
He doesn't want you to be converted.
-
There's nothing good about the devil.
-
There's nothing true about the Devil.
-
He's a liar. He's being not from the
-
beginning. Remember what we read in John
John 8 chapter mention
-
chapter 8 and verse 44, year of your father, the devil and the
-
lusts of your father, ye will do.
-
He was a murderer from the beginning and Abode, not in the
-
truth because there's no truth in him.
-
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for, he is a
-
liar and the father of it, and he still in the business of
-
trying to stop the advance and Red of the great truths of the
-
gospel and heal. Obscure your heart and mind
-
using your natural bent to deny and turn away from the gospel.
-
And he will try as much as they can.
-
To hide the gospel from you. I want to tell you, here's one
-
of his favorite devices very quickly pleasure.
-
You know, the Bible talks about being a lover of pleasure, your
-
lover of pleasure tonight, more than lovers of God, as in the
-
motto of Manny in our world eat drink and be merry for tomorrow.
-
You die. Let me have my Pleasures.
-
Let me do whatever I want. Give me what I found.
-
See what I lost four. How many people drink
-
themselves? Into Oblivion Dance the Night
-
Away, Gamble? Party scene.
-
Music. What's happening?
-
The devil's using this to blame their manes to stop their ears
-
to what the grid throughs of the Gospel, isn't it?
-
Interesting. We think of Jesus Christ being
-
crucified in the cross. What were the soldiers doing?
-
They were gambling At His Feet. Gambling for the clothing.
-
That came off the back of Christ.
-
Here's the crucified Christ. Hanging in agony and blood.
-
Can you picture that scene? And one of the soldiers doing
-
there? Gambling for his vesture.
-
That here, the art, mangs are blinded the devil's at work and
-
they're in the route to hell and don't know what under oblivious
-
to it. I'll tell you another device
-
that the devil has preyed on by Nature's a pro creature.
-
And remember, praise the Sun and we are going to preach on God's
-
verdict of the pride month. Next at Sunday night, or put you
-
on notice in relation to that. Praise one of the seven deadly
-
sins. It's an Abomination to God.
-
And you hear the ungodly say well, who needs God.
-
Who is the Lord that I should obey?
-
And that's what Pharaoh said. Remember the crowd when they
-
were crucifying Christ, not the smile.
-
Turian overs away with him crucify him you see man or quite
-
happy to live live and pleasure live with all their proud
-
Spirit. Pray to fee has prayed of Ria's
-
prayed of Spears on the and they're having to live and die
-
and not steal it and happy to go out and do eternity.
-
Well if there is a God would meet them.
-
Not knowing this a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
-
Living. God, here's another device
-
procrastination. This is one of the devil's
-
tactics. Boast, not thyself tomorrow for
-
no man. Knoweth what a day may bring
-
forth. Putting it off know that you
-
need to be saved, one thing to be said and yet putting it off
-
till another time. Remember Felix said, when I have
-
a more convenient time I will call on you, can you picture
-
Felix trembling and the hammer blow of the word of God coming
-
on his heart? And mind is Paul reasoned of
-
righteousness and Temperance and judgment to come.
-
There is a judgment as it is appointed unto man once to die.
-
And after this, the Judgment death is not the end.
-
You'll have to stand before God and give it a kind.
-
And God will say depart Eat worker of iniquity and
-
everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels Felix
-
wanted a more convenient time we don't really ever got it.
-
The Bible says today if you will hear his voice Harden, not your
-
hearts. The Bible says behold now is the
-
day of salvation. Now is the accepted time.
-
You may not see tomorrow. I may not see tomorrow
-
procrastination, false professions.
-
How how many faults professions is there in Northern Ireland?
-
Remember the devil? As an angel of Light and how
-
many people have been urged by the preacher to walk and I'll
-
say Nack, yard offer a prayer. Not doesn't see if, but they put
-
their confidence and faith and not, and then they get for free
-
and and unworried. Did I say the rate formula of
-
words was my name, spelled correctly.
-
That, that was a humble enough as a came forward and they never
-
even have a thought. I could have a simple false
-
profession. Not to me as a masterstroke of
-
the devil, some of the thinking that they're sieved pretending
-
that they're seeing but they're not actually born again.
-
There's no evidence of a new heart.
-
There's no evidence of a new life.
-
Maybe you're here tonight and that's what you have, you've
-
made a profession, but is actually a false one because you
-
were never changed. You've no real love for God or
-
Christ or the things of God, you do hit.
-
But for sin, you know, desire for holding.
-
What about the device of possessions, a love for things,
-
or how many people have a love for things?
-
And yet their razor close to spiritual reality and spiritual
-
truth. Happy with their spiritual
-
blindness, happy with their spiritual, state knows.
-
Sense of fear, no sense of alarm.
-
No sense of drama. Why?
-
Because they're blinded to the gospel.
-
Notice this here, Half blinded the minds of them, that believe
-
not. It's not We'll try to put half,
-
he's doing it at ready. Paul says, in Corinth, it's not
-
a new thing. He's been added from the
-
beginning and do I could flag up tonight.
-
The days of Noah, I remember he was a preacher of righteousness
-
and many received in Noah's day. Just Noah his wife, his three
-
sons and their ways not many Comforts in the old world.
-
We don't really have one come to the days of lot.
-
Not was a backslider i'mi'm, not spoke to people in Sodom.
-
He seemed as if he was knocking. Lot's wife.
-
Turned back became a pillar of salt.
-
Why? Cause you haven't done your
-
heart. She had a heart for Sodom not
-
for the Savior. She loved its lifestyle and it's
-
lawlessness. The Bible tells us remember
-
Lot's wife, what about the days of Isaiah?
-
And if you turn there to the book of Isaiah for a few minutes
-
and Isaiah chapter 1, you're going to reach something
Isaiah 1 chapter mention
-
startling. Something that's actually a
-
picture of our day. It says there and Isaiah 1:2
-
hear o heavens and give ear o Earth for the Lord of spoken.
-
I have nourished and brought up children and every belt against
-
me, the ox new with his owner and the ass, his master's crib,
-
but Israel dog. Not know, my people do not
-
consider a sinful Nation a people Laden with iniquity a
-
seed of evildoers children that are corrupters.
-
They have forsaken, the Lord, they have provoked.
-
The Holy One of Israel under anger.
-
They are gone away backward, why should you be stricken and him?
-
Or he will Revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the
-
whole heart feeling from the sole of the foot.
-
Even under the head, there is no soundness in it.
-
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores, they have not
-
been closed, neither I end up neither mollified with ointment.
-
You see the spiritual blindness was an epidemic in Isaiah's day
-
and here's the evidence that spiritual blindness.
-
There's a love for sin. There's a continuation in sin.
-
There's a forsake in of God, on a forgetting of US law, people
-
refuse to repent. People don't want to know, you
-
tell them they're lost and they laugh, they think sends our
-
friend. But all the while it's a fool
-
and the Bible talks about the deceitfulness of sin and sin, of
-
course, not only just saves but what sin destroys Send downs and
-
not only as their continuation in sin, but there's a
-
carelessness for the Savior. Hey, many people have no anxiety
-
for Christ. You invite them to a gospel
-
service, they're not troubled. They're not tell you, I'll be
-
there, isn't it? Interesting?
-
That Isaiah if we go back to Isaiah and Isaiah chapter 53,
Isaiah 53 chapter mention
-
and he tells us there, and as I a chapter 53 and the verse 1,
-
the aasa' on a question who hath believed our report.
-
And to whom has the arm of the Lord revealed.
-
And the liberal thought is there who hath believed our Doctrine
-
who believe the revelation of God, who believed the gospel,
-
you see to them. It was a worthless thing to
-
them. It meant nothing.
-
So they emitted no appeal because remember, they're blind.
-
Remember, they're dead? Remember, they're spiritually.
-
Diseas'd they see no attraction to create, they have no love for
-
Christ. Trust in themselves and their
-
good. And what's the end of it?
-
All if you look at our text the tragedy of the head and gospel,
-
it says, but if our gospel be head and his head to them that
-
are lost, Lost in sin. Lost in relation to Jesus
-
Christ. Lost modeling, lost spiritually.
-
Lost eternally for one day. They will be lost for all
-
eternity. For Jesus said, if you die in
-
your sins where I am there, you can't be that's the tragedy of
-
the head and gospel the devil's at the back of it.
-
Here's what he's doing, here's the devices and many others that
-
he's using and here's the end result, lost lost.
-
One final thing I want you to think about the truth of the
-
head and gospel. as I've told you the devil's at the back of
-
us, And the devil Works quickly. As soon as you hear the gospel
-
to snatch, it away your heart and night.
-
The devil Works. Intensely, he's not playing a
-
game, he knows what he's doing, lest, you should be converted.
-
The devil Works viciously users region anger and persecution.
-
And of course, that's what he did in Paul's day and that's
-
what he's doing in our day. The devil Works subtly, he can
-
come as an angel of Light. He can take away one or too,
-
few, few truths. Out of the Gospel messy.
-
Distort, the gospel, that makes it, another gospel, another
-
Jesus, and it's hidden from the hearts and minds of the people
-
Here's the truth of the Hidden gospel.
-
You see this word lost? Are we thinking about?
-
Sadly, there's a hell. For those Sinners, how many
-
tonight are lost and sin, naturally lost because they're
-
born spiritually, dead, blind and diseas'd.
-
They're spiritually lost. There's no hope.
-
There's no meaning and they're in danger of Eternal damnation.
-
They're in danger of being eternally lost because he'll is
-
real. And who's the one that can
-
uncover the gospel? Who's the one that can make it
-
known unto us? Well, that's the work of the
-
Lord. Jesus, that's the work of the
-
holy spirit of God, and that's why Paul preached Christ and him
-
crucified and he preached in the power of the Holy Spirit.
-
He said we preach Christ and him crucified because yes, there's a
-
hell for Sinners, but there's hope for sinners.
-
On the hope for Sinners as this hidden gospel has hidden from
-
their hearts and Minds will be revealed to them by the spirit
-
through the scriptures. Unrevealed of the savior.
-
And they discover that there's hope and joy and peace to be
-
hard on him. Let me ask you tonight.
-
What's your attitude and thought to the gospel?
-
Do You Love The Gospel tonight? Or do you love the gospel?
-
Have you come to Christ as your lord and Redeemer as your life
-
being changed and transformed because you're trusting in Him?
-
Are you among those tonight to him the gospel as head?
-
Because the devil's at work and you don't even know what and
-
you're still in the Road to Perdition you're actually lost
-
with a Christ. The night is that a picture of
-
you? Would you not like to be saved?
-
We want you to be saved. We invite you to come to Christ.
-
Souls got saved over there, to come permission.
-
It Souls were led to the Lord last year through the internet
-
Ministry that her brother Mark has set up.
-
We thank God for the heart and for those who are going home,
-
well, we Rejoice with them. You could be among them.
-
What about you tonight? I leave that thought with you.
-
As the gospel head from you, are you among the lost tonight or
-
has your age been opened? Because God has chained in your
-
heart and giving you the light of the knowledge of the Glorious
-
Gospel of Jesus Christ in the face of Christ?
