2006-02-12-1030 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning February 12th, 2006
in the 10:30 service.
Scripture Ref: Eph 1:1-6; II Cor 3:15-18; Gal 6:1
Topic: Grace/Mercy
Notes:
- Chosen by the Father, Redeemed by the Son, Sealed by the Spirit
- Chosen before foundation of this world, we responded in faith
- We will fail, but He will keep us and has already given all we need
- We are not perfect, but He has declared us Holy
- Drag racing scenario: high speed of faith slowed by parachute of theological background, unbelief
- Our predestination has nothing to do with us, but providence of God
- As our race and gender are determined, so is our calling
- Our relationship with the Lord is based on what He did, not what we've done or how we feel
- We are not free to live how we want, but have liberty to fall and get back up in His mercy
- Restore he who has stumbled
- We look in the wrong mirror, which magnifies/distorts imperfections
