Scripture tells us that Jesus is the only way of salvation. But many people have trouble accepting this. They have trouble accepting that so many people will go to hell because they don't know Jesus. The Bible says that the door to salvation is a narrow one and, because of this, we must strive to enter it.

Many believers today fret because our leaders seem so ungodly; they fret because the laws being passed and the decisions being made seem so ungodly. However, we're assured in Scripture that God is in control. He can even use ungodly leaders to accomplish his purpose.

In Scripture, we're called to be righteous; we're called to be holy. But we're also told that we're unrighteous and sinful; we're told that our hearts are corrupt. How, then, are we to live the righteous life? How are we to become righteous? This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryTheSourceofRighteousness

As believers, even though we know that the things of this life are only temporary, we seek after them, we pursue them, like everyone else. However, as people who've been given new life by God, we've been called to set our mind on things above.

It's important for believers to grow in faith, to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Christ. This was Paul's concern for the Colossian church. He wanted them to grow that they might have the full assurance that comes with this growth, and that they might not be led astray.

I've been on vacation and at camp recently. Here is the sermon I delievered on July 4, before leaving on our trip. We've all heard Jesus statement that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. And, because of this, we're called to pray that the Lord will send out laborers. We're willing to do this; we're willing to pray. But we fail to realize who it is that Jesus called to prayer. It was those he sent that he called to pray.

It's easy to get frustrated in ministry. This is especially true when people seem unresponsive or even hostile to the gospel. However, as we see in 1 Kings 19, we're called to continue on even when times are difficult. This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryContinueOn

When we talk about sin, we usually talk about those we consider to be big sins. We all know that we sin by what we say. But we consider these sins to be no big deal. But, as we see in James 3, these sins are a very big deal. Not only do they harm others, but by them we also cause great harm to ourselves.

We're constantly faced with various choices. We often rely on our feelings or our reason in order to make them. But we find in Scripture that we cannot trust ourselves. To hear or download this message, go to http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryFollowingHisHeart

There are many people out there preaching what they call "truth" and a message they call the "gospel." But is the message we believe, is the message we proclaim, truly the gospel. Is it man's gospel or the Lord's gospel? This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryTheLordsGospel

In our day and age, we fail to realize the value of remembering. But remembering is important. When it comes to our faith, remembering is essential. If we fail to remember, we won't trust in the Lord. And without faith, we cannot receive his blessings.

Most of us say we love the Lord. But the reality is that we love the things of this life more. But as we see in Scripture, nothing is to be more precious than the Lord and his kingdom. This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryNothingMorePrecious

There is a lot of fear in the church today. With the direction of our society, the world, and even the church, we fear that the ministry God has entrusted to us may be stopped. However, as we see in Scripture, there is no stopping it. No matter what they try, the world cannot put an end to the ministry of the church.

What do motherhood and evangelism have to do with one another? Motherhood, parenting, is an important form of evangelism. God has called us to fill the earth. And we accomplish this by having children and by bringing them to the Lord. This message can be heard and downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryFillingtheEarth

In our society, it's politically incorrect to try to convert someone to the Christian faith. We're supposed to acknowledge that all beliefs and practices are good and valid. Because of this, the church has changed its tactics when it comes to outreach. It's become much more subtle. However, as we see from the example of Paul in Acts 26, we must not be so subtle. We must be open and direct. This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryNotSoSubtle

Yesterday, I continued our look at evangelism. We all know we're called to reach out with the gospel, but most of us don't do it. Most say that they don't do it because of fear. But when we look at Scripture, we see that the prophets, apostles, and the early church continued in their calling despite the persecution they faced. Why were they willing? And why should we be willing? This message can be heard or downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryFaithfulUntoDeath

We have a lot for you to hear and digest this week.

First of all is the message I delivered at Redeemer in Ashton. We see in Acts 20 that Paul declared himself innocent of the blood of the Ephesian church. He was innocent because he'd declared to them the full counsel of God. If they strayed from the Lord, their blood would be on their own head. Can we say the same thing, that we're innocent of the blood of those God has placed in our path? This message can be heard at http://www.archive.org/details/KentSperryInnocent

As believers, we've all been called to serve the Lord. But many of us resist his calling; we refuse it. We fail to realize that serving the Lord is a great honor, and that we should thank him for the privilege.
