Title: WHAT TO DO ABOUT SIN!

Scripture: Malachi 1:14
Malachi 1:14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

Sermon Points:
-	Some saved folks are living in hell on earth while on their way to heaven, while some of you saved folks are living in heaven on their way to hell.
-	The only thing you and I must settle in order to go to heaven and also not live hell on earth is how we handle sin.
01.	We can settle a lot of questions without settling the sin question.
-	I John 1:9 
-	The Scriptures are given to us so we can know what to do about sin and its cure.
02.	God gave man a type of Calvary in the Old Testament.
-	Exodus 12:3 
-	Exodus 12:4 
-	Exodus 12:5 
-	God gave the people a picture of Christ and Calvary called the Passover. God gave us specific instructions concerning the sacrifice that would be acceptable to Him.
**** 7 Things God says The Sacrifice for sin must be. ****
1.)	The sacrifice must be a lamb.
-	Exodus 12:3 
2.)	The sacrifice must be a male lamb.
-	Exodus 12:5 
3.)	The sacrifice must be a lamb without blemish.
-	Exodus 12:5 
4.)	The sacrifice must be observed for four days.
5.)	Man must put his hands on the lamp to show transfer of sin to that lamb.
-	Leviticus 4:33 
6.)	The sacrifice was to be slain, and the blood caught.
-	Exodus 12:7 
7.)	The sacrifice must be applied to the door post of the house.
-	Exodus 12:7 
03.	All of This Was Pointing to Jesus!
-	Exodus 12:13 
-	Hebrews 9:22 
-	I Peter 1:19 
-	Hebrews 10:22 
-	The result? Good people died while bad people lived, because the issue was not goodness or badness. The issue was the applied blood of the only acceptable sacrifice to God.
-	When you attack the Written Word you were attacking the Living Word.
-	John 1:14 
-	The only Answer to our Sin Problem is:
o	“A Lamb”
-	Exodus 12:3 
o	“The Lamb”
-	Exodus 12:4 
o	“Your Lamb”
-	Exodus 12:5 
-	Have you made Him Your Lamb?
-	John 1:12

Title: GRACE AND MERCY!

Scripture: Romans 5:20, Joel 2:13, Lamentations 3:22
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

Sermon Points:
-	Habakkuk 3:2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
-	Mercy is not putting us in hell which we deserve, and grace is a bonus, giving me heaven, which I do not deserve.
-	John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
-	John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
-	John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
01.	All of us Deserve to go to Hell.
-	Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
**** Evidence of Gods Mercy & Grace ****
1.)	The Prodigal Son.
-	Luke 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
-	Luke 15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
-	Luke 15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
-	Luke 15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
-	Luke 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
2.)	David.
-	Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
-	Psalm 51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
-	Psalm 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
3.)	Gomer.
-	Hosea 3:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
-	Hosea 3:2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
-	Hosea 3:3 And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
4.)	The Publican.
-	Luke 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
-	Luke 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
-	Our record was made blank by his blood and mercy, but then Grace places Jesus righteousness on our record and allows us to enter Heaven.
-	Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
-	I Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
-	I Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
-	Unconditional love continues to pursue the one it loves.

Wednesday Evening Service

Title: FRUSTRATING THE GRACE OF GOD

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:9-11; Galatians 2:21
1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1 Corinthians 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Sermon Points:
01.	You are not your past. You and I are a lot of things, but we are not our past. We are children of God, as before we were not children of God. We may be struggling with a lot of the same sins from our past, but you are a new creature. Now we have the Holy Spirit to help us battle our sin nature.
-	Religion can’t change a dog. But the grace of Jesus can turn an undeserving lost sinner into a saved sinner with a mansion waiting for them in the sky.
-	If Jesus has ever touched your life, you are not what you once were.
-	Nobody is limited by their past, unless they want to use that as an excuse the rest of their life not to serve Christ.
02.	Also, we are not our mistakes, our sins, or our failures; that’s not who we are.
-	Psalm 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
-	Change and grace come by Jesus Christ, and you don’t have to be what you were.
-	Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
-	Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
-	Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
-	Paul struggled with the same thing!
-	Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
-	Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
-	Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
-	Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
-	Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
-	We may be struggling with the same sin every day, but guess what we don’t take into account?
-	Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
-	Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
03.	You are not what people say about you.
-	John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
-	John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
-	Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
-	1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
-	1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
-	1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
-	Let’s stop coming every Sunday and leaving the same person. Leave here with the grace of God on your life; that grace will change somebody else’s life through you!
-	Paul said I do not waste what Jesus did for me by dwelling or pouting about my past, but I got busy and let God use me and took advantage of his amazing grace!
-	We are what we let God’s grace do through us!

As Pastor of Texas Baptist Church, I would personally like to thank you ﻿for taking the time to listen and allowing us a few minutes to introduce our ministry to you.

Maybe we knocked on your door, you saw one of our gospel tracts, or a friend personally invited you to attend one of our services or you just took time to listen to one of our messages. Whatever the case you are welcome.

Founded in February of 2000, Texas Baptist Church welcomes everyone from all backgrounds. A place where lives are touched, hearts are encouraged and new beginnings are possible. It is our desire to see your family find and thrive in God's will. There are many churches in the San Antonio area to chose from, but I pray that you will give Texas Baptist Church a visit! I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,
 Keith Bell, Pastor
