Which Group of MANY Am I In?

This is aimed at everyone who has been a part of any church for any length of time, including our church. There is surely a comfort zone inside the doors of any church: you meet friends and develop relationships, you can even serve in the local church and this all can give us a false sense of assurance of our relationship with the Lord. In this sermon God will direct us to examine ourselves, test ourselves, make sure we indeed are savingly joined to the Lord Jesus, or convict us that we are not on that narrow way and hear the Savior calling us to repentance and a genuine relationship with Him.

1 Peter: Father -- Judge???

Peter tells us we are to love God as our Father and fear Him as our Judge. How does that work? Why does the Bible say we will be judged by our deeds and yet salvation is by grace and not of works? How does that work? What is the nature of Judgment Day especially how are Christians supposed to view it? Are we ready?

The consideration of God as Judge is not improper for those who can truly call Him Father. Holy confidence in God as a Father, and an awful fear of Him as a Judge, are very consistent; to regard God as a Judge is a singular means to endear Him to us as a Father. Matthew Henry
