AT THE
CROSS
(Colossians 1:20)
"And,
having made peace through the blood of his Cross, by him to reconcile all
things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or
things in heaven."
Standing at the Cross of our blessed LORD, we see the law thoroughly fulfilled, its curse fully endured, its penalties wholly removed, sin forever put away, the justice of God amply satisfied, all His perfections gloriously harmonized, His holy will perfectly obeyed, reconciliation completely effected, redemption graciously accomplished and the church everlastingly saved!
At the Cross and here alone, is sin subdued and mortified, holiness communicated, death vanquished, Satan put to flight and happiness and Heaven begun in the soul.
At the Cross we see sin in
its blackest colors and holiness in its fairest beauties. At the Cross we see the anger of God in its deepest
expression and the Love of God in His tenderest form and obtain pardon and
peace.

******************************
The enemies of the free and sovereign grace of God claim that those of us, who believe and preach it, take away sinful man’s responsibility. We believe that man is totally unable, apart from Divine Grace, to do anything good in the sight of God. Further, that he is unable apart from being born again to do anything spiritual towards God. Though we believe and preach man’s spiritual and moral inability to save himself, or commend himself to God, there are some things we believe he is able (by himself) to do apart from being influenced by anything but his own wicked nature;
1. He is able by his own power to sin. He was conceived in sin, shapen in iniquity. (Ps .51:5)
2. He is able, because of his nature, to be in rebellion against the rule and commands of God Almighty. (Ex. 5:2)
3. He can hate God and righteousness as revealed in Christ; it is shown by his unwillingness to come to Christ for pardon and life.
4. He is able to perform “good works” (though unacceptable to God) as long as he can be recognized for them and get a pat on the back from his fellows.
5. He is able by his own ability to reject the testimony of God concerning his absolute sinfulness, God’s absolute Sovereignty and Christ as absolute Savior.
The scriptures say that
man is DEAD in his sins. Dead men cannot give themselves life. Our message
is this: Sinner cast yourself at the feet of Christ saying; "if
you WILL thou canst make me clean" for He alone can give life
to a dead sinner. If men won’t come to Christ for life, why should they
be angry with God for putting them in hell?

CALL TO WORSAHIP
James Montgomery 1717-1854
Grace taught our wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour we meet
While traveling home to God.
'Twas grace that wrote each name
In God's eternal book;
'Twas grace that gave us to the Lamb,
Who all our burdens took.
Grace saved us from the foe,
Grace taught us how to pray;
And God will ne'er His grace forego,
Till we have won the day.
May grace, free grace, inspire
Our souls with strength divine;
May every thought to God aspire,
And grace in service shine.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
(Tune: "I Love Thy Kingdom")

(Acts 20:24)
"None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the
grace of God."
