Lifepoint Church - Messages From The Riverdale Campus

The key to overcoming sin and being obedient is to change how you think.

When we think deeply about the depths of the riches of God and what that means for our life we should break into worship, not just on Sundays but everyday. This should cause our perspective to shift about who we are in Christ.

Sometimes we need to be reminded: God is God and I’m not.

God ordains history and moves it according to His sovereign purpose through humans who make choices for which we are responsible.

Grace changes everything. Grace should make us humble; not proud and arrogant.

SUMMARY

God’s sovereignty over salvation does not nullify man’s responsibility.

Before people can believe, they have to know what to believe. Someone has to tell them. That’s why we’re a sending church.

If you’re at peace with sin, you’re at war with God.

Moses slows his roll to help us take in the importance of what’s happening and be forever marked by its eternal significance.

God’s sovereignty doesn’t violate our will. They aren’t enemies. Everybody has the opportunity to respond but only the conviction of the Holy Spirit effectively opens our eyes to see. The fact that God doesn’t do that for everybody is a mystery, but it isn’t unfair. What’s unfair, really is that He does it for anybody.

God’s sovereignty doesn’t undercut our responsibility, it establishes it.
