Topic: Not Reprobate [Sunday 29, October 2017]
Memorise: “But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.” – 2 Corinthians 13:6
Read: 2 Corinthians 13:5-8
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Bible In One Year: Luke 16-18. Hymn: Sing Hymn 5 – Oh Spread The Tiding Round
MESSAGE:
To be reprobate is very dangerous for the society and for the Christian faith in particular. The reason is not far-fetched; a reprobate person does immoral and unethical things without any sense of guilt or remorse because his conscience has been seared with a hot iron of deviance.
The of Some of the 21st century believers is the philosophy of relativism. This is a human error that should not be allowed in the body of Christ because it turns believers into reprobates. Some people have sold themselves to reprobate minds, and so no number of sermons they hear can change them. They keep saying, “My conscience does not condemn me”. The truth is that a dead conscience cannot condemn, because it is not active.
Prayer Point: Lord Jesus, please cleanse my conscience with Your Blood so that it may be more active and sensitive for You.
HYMN:
SING HYMN 5
OH SPREAD THE TIDING ROUND
Oh, spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let every Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound: The Comforter has come!
Chorus:
The Comforter has come,
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n,
The Lord’s dear promise giv’n;
Oh, spread the tidings ’round,
Wherever man is found,
The Comforter has come!
2. The long, long night is past, the morning breaks at last;
And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As o’er the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!
Chorus:
3. Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul a full deliv’rance brings;
And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings:
The Comforter has come!
Chorus:
4. O boundless love divine! how shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!
Chorus.
