The Gospel in the Old Testament: Redemption from Egypt

Redemption is a key word in the Gospel of Christ, but the concept was first fixed in the mind's of God's people in the Old Testament by the powerful work of God in freeing the captives from Egypt. Their response was profound worship... as ours should also be!!

Exodus 14:1-15:18
Matthew 20:28
1 Corinthians 10:1-4,10:11
John 8:34,14:30,8:36
Ephesians 2:2
Galatians 3:13

Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
  • What would it have been like to flee from Egypt?
  • What did they feel when the Red Sea closed back in?
  • What was the response to this great redemption?
  • What are the three things holding us in captivity?
  • How has Jesus redeemed us from all three?
  • What should our response be?

Appreciating Salvation: Co-Crucifixion and Co-Resurrection

We really appreciate our salvation when we know just what a great deliverance it is. A deliverance from the reign, power, and enslavement of sin. Just how does Christ free us from this is the focus of this message. We will look at the wonderful truths of co-crucifixion and co-resurrection with Christ!

Romans 5:12-6:23,3:9-18,8:7
John 6:44,6:64-65
2 Corinthians 4:3-4,5:17
Colossians 3:1-3,3:9-10,1:13
Ephesians 2:4-9,1:3-6

Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
  • What are some examples of the fact that sin is a power?
  • How did Christ break this power over us?
  • When did He do it?
  • When did this victory enter into our lives?
  • What are the practical implications of this doctrine that we are to work out in our lives daily?

1 Peter: Good Works, Submission, and The Biblical Doctrine of Vocation

Peter and Paul both tell slaves to be submissive to their masters... what implication does that have for how we view our daily work, our boss, our employees? The implications are huge. Christ came to redeem work... and the redemption He purchased has transformed the world and will transform your view of what you do all day long!!
