Pastor Philip Miller

Rescued From The Folly Of Self-Salvation (Rescued)

July 12, 2020

It’s clear the Apostle Paul knew nothing of political correctness, because some of what he wrote was quite unpopular. He catalogs the depth of human depravity in chapter three of the book of Romans. He describes a list many would dispute, but an accurate list, nonetheless. In this message we see our true condition, and why we’re in such desperate need of the grace of God as revealed in Jesus.

Football players call it “putting on your game face.” It means we project an air of invincibility whether we feel that way or not. To some degree, everyone projects an outward appearance that may not square with inner reality. Regarding salvation, it’s easy to make yourself and others believe that all is well when it’s far from well. In this message we learn how God delivers believers from this deceptive mindset.

Religion can prevent people from understanding the truth about themselves. Religion can breed the pride that says, “I’m okay.” In Romans chapter two, Paul addresses the religious elite of his day, and shows how ceremony and ritual had insulated them from God’s analysis of their hearts. Self-deception is especially deep when expressed in religious terms. In this message we discover why we need rescuing so badly.

Reading the book of Romans is like shining a light into darkness. In its pages we see ourselves as we really are. We find that, apart from God’s grace, we are capable of awful things. In fact, we’re morally bankrupt compared to our Creator. In this message we probe the darkness of the human heart, and the amazing light God shines into those hearts that come to believe in Jesus.

If you’re tossed overboard into a stormy sea, the most important thing on your mind is being rescued. It’s life or death. Humanity is overboard in the stormy sea of sin, and even though most people don’t realize it, they’re headed for an eternal death. Sinners need outside help, and so God has put in place a rescue plan from heaven: a plan outlined in the book of Romans.

While we’re on earth, the clouds obscure the sky. We can’t see the life to come as clearly as we see what’s around us. But the Bible does give some tantalizing views of what’s ahead for a child of God. In this message we peer across the great divide into the ultimate destiny for all who trust Christ.

The hymn-writer penned these words: “…clothed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.” The Bible tells us that, as believers in Christ, we’re given new spiritual clothing. In this message, we will examine an Old Testament preview of this wonderful truth. As we look at Zechariah chapter 3, we will learn about “Jesus, the Devil, and You.”

In the Bible, the Greek word for “angel” means “messenger.” An angel brought a message to Mary, as they brought God’s messages to many throughout the Bible. Normally we can’t see angels, but they are there, doing the bidding of God by ministering to the people of God. In this message, we examine a major part of the invisible world: God’s invisible agents.

Christians live in two worlds: the visible one of everyday life, and the invisible world of the spirit. The two are often in conflict, and our journey through life is not always easy. Making it through that journey requires the motivation to endure it, and in this message, we’ll discover where believers are to find that motivation.

Some call it “black magic.” But to Satan, it’s just business as usual. He gives spiritual power to deceived people. This power is not meant for good but for evil. It is power to destroy. Through Satanic rituals, sorcery, charms, and other means, the devil enslaves his victims in a world of false religion: a world of evil, and a world of bondage.

Sometime in the past, a civil war took place in heaven. Some of God’s angels rebelled, and a great darkness began. Satan and his forces were cast to the earth, where to this day they’re at war with the people of God, always seeking to destroy what God is building. Through divination and the occult, demons seek to lure people into their trap.
