Sermon Outline – OT – NIV

THE CROSS

THE CROSS

“But Ruth replied,

Ruth 1:16,17

Intr.:

‘Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you.

1.  Where you GO I will go, and

2.  where you STAY I will stay.

3.  Your PEOPLE will be my people and

4.  your GOD my God.

5.  Where you DIE I will die, and there I will be buried.

End:

May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.'”

ENCOURAGEMENT

ENCOURAGED I was when I received two little booklets (Gospel news for eternal salvation: THE HOLY SPIRIT and ETERNITY) today when walking back from church from an elderly man.

I started talking to the man and  discovered that he did not belong to a Pentecostal Church but to the Exclusive Brethren.

How good it is to receive encouragement to tell others what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for us (Personal Evangelism).

I hope you are also encouraged.

The Lord says in Matthew 10:32,33:

 “‘WHOEVER  ACKNOWLEDGES ME BEFORE MEN, I WILL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM BEFORE MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.

BUT WHOEVER DISOWNS ME BEFORE MEN, I WILL DISOWN HIM BEFORE MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.'”

“FORGIVENESS…”

“FORGIVENESS

 is the

KEY

KEY

that unlocks the door of resentment and

the handcuffs of hatred.

It is the power that breaks the

CHAIN

CHAINS

of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” – Corrie ten Boom (Clippings from My Notebook)
