"The True Gifts of Christmas-Adoption” Selected passages December 4, 2022 Pastor Tony Felich  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- 1 John 3:1a See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, [5] to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. [6] And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” [7] So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” [16] The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, [17] and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may als

The True Gifts of Christmas: Forgiveness Matthew 1:21 November 27, 2022 Pastor Tony Felich Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. [19] And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. [20] But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. [21] She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” [22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: [23] “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). God’s gift of forgiveness is the lifting of the just sentence of condemnation upon us fo

“Law School” James 2:8-13 November 20, 2022 Pastor Nathan Currey  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.   When we embrace a proper perspective on God's law we are freed to pursue grace empowered obedience.    · The Royal Law: Love Your Neighbor       · The Whole Law: Moral Perfection      · The Law of Liberty: Mercy Over Judgement

And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

[28] Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock apart. [29] And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set apart?” [30] He said, “These seven ewe lamb

[4] And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. [5] Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. [6] And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.” [7] And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children?

“On His Oath We Depend” Genesis 20-21 October 16, 2022 Pastor Tony Felich  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Genesis 20:1 From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb and lived between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar. [2] And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. [3] But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” [4] Now Abimelech had not approached her. So he said, “Lord, will you kill an innocent people? [5] Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” [6] Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. [7] Now then, return the man’s

The Cost of Compromise With the World Genesis 19 October 9, 2022 Pastor Tony Felich  Sermon Application [file] ----more---- Genesis 19:15 As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” [16] But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city. [17] And as they brought them out, one said, “Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.” [18] And Lot said to them, “Oh, no, my lords. [19] Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. [20] Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!” [21

The Righteous Judgment of God Genesis 19:1-29 October 2, 2022 Pastor Tony Felich----more---- Genesis 19:12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place. [13] For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” [14] So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting. [15] As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.” [16] But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

To close out his sermon on 9.25.22, Pastor Tony Felich, prayed this petition to the Lord. ----more---- Heavenly Father, while less profoundly, no doubt…as we finish studying this passage, I would like to lead us in undertaking to approach to you, O Lord, knowing that we are dust and ashes. We come to you by way of your covenant of grace fulfilled through Christ’s blood on our behalf.  We come as your sons and daughters through the adoption granted through Christ. Like Abraham, we come as your friends through Jesus’ blood. We draw near to you now in order to make an appeal on behalf of the lost, who at this point, if Christ should return, if you would send some calamity, or they would die of natural causes, would be separated from you and your love for eternity and this terrifies us for them. We confess that you would be justified in your judgment of the ungodly. We could offer no argument against your justice. We would not complain against your fairness. You are God and we are but dust. But nevertheless, like
