The Only Name of Salvation

Monday June 17, 2019 Text: John 8:48-59 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Trinity Tags: arius / athanasian creed / athansius / jesus / jesus deity / trinity Passages: John 8:48-59

When we deny the trinity we deny the only name by which we can be saved. The Jews resorted to name calling rather than acknowledge the truth of who Jesus was. Abraham knew that name and rejoiced in the salvation it offered. The Father glorifies the Son so that through Him we might have salvation.

Walk With Assurance In the Lord

Wednesday June 5, 2019 Text: Acts 1:12-26 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Easter Passages: Acts 1:12-26

They returned but the Lord was with them, even so we walk with assurance that He is with us. It was God's word that revealed to Peter what had to be done, even so we walk with assurance that His Word will guide us. God chose Matthais, even so we walk with assurance that He has a plan for us.

THE MEANING OF HIS ASCENSION

Wednesday June 5, 2019 Text: Colossians 3:1-4 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Ascension Passages: Colossians 3:1-4

Although He is not seen yet He is with us always. He is with us with power having received all authority from the Father. He will come again in glory.

Do Not Despise What Jesus Has Cleansed

Monday May 20, 2019 Text: Acts 11:1-18 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Easter Passages: Acts 11:1-18

Peter and the early Christians had to learn that there was no longer any distinction between the Israelites and the Gentiles. Now they are all one in Christ. We too need to learn not to look down on or judge that which God has cleansed. This includes both our fellow Christians and ourselves. The Father has promised that we are clean in the blood of Christ. Who are we to say or think otherwise?

This section of scripture is not a list of the great things that Paul did but of the great things our Good Shepherd did through him. Paul's words here show us one who lived every day and in every circumstance under the protection of the Good Shepherd. Paul is one who held Pslam 23 in his heart.

Lord What Must I Do

Monday May 6, 2019 Text: Acts 9:1-22 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Easter Passages: Acts 9:1-22

Anything we try to do ourselves is less the useless. It is sinful. Jesus must teach us repentance. Jesus must teach us to listen. Jesus must give us the strength to go and do. Then will our lives be worth something.

Monday April 29, 2019 Text: Acts 5:12-31 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Easter Passages: Acts 5:12-31

The result of Jesus resurrection is that the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, and that whereas before they hid in fear now they went with boldness proclaiming the name of the Lord. Through them the Lord did many signs and miracles, but more than this the Word of the Lord was preached

Remember His Resurrection

Monday April 22, 2019 Text: 2 timothy 2:8,11 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Easter Passages: 2 timothy 2:8,11
