Security in the Simplicity of the GospelWhat can we do when we are tossed and driven by the storms of life? When trouble is on every side and difficulties seem to pour out as the rain? What is the place of our rest who have believed in the good news about God’s provision of salvation by His Son? Listen in to this profound message from our teacher Pastor Landis Fisher and gain strength from a message he has titled: “Security in the Simplicity of the Gospel”

 
New Testament Scripture Reading: Phillipians 2:12 – 16 & James 1:1 – 8  (KJV)
Phil 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Phil 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Phil 2:14  Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Phil 2:15  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Phil 2:16  Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

================================

James 1:1  James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
James 1:2  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

James 1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 1:4  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:6  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James 1:8  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Transforming Power Statements:

1) The message of God to all people on earth is centered in the forgiveness He has provided through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, Who intentionally died on the cross of Calvary to pay by Himself, the total cost God requires for the sins of everyone who believes in Him; Whom God also raised from the dead, after three days and nights to be exalted as LORD & Christ; This message alone is THE GOSPEL.

2) Everyone in the world in all of time has had trouble, problems, difficulties, sickness, strife, contention, greif, suffering, and even death to name a few negative results of the fall, but the ones who have believed God through out all of time have been secured in the simplicity of the Gospel which has been God’s fix for all the results of sin even from the foundation of the world.

3) We all who have believed in the Gospel of Christ must realize the existance of sins multitude of contaminations are to be considered as normal as the world itself during the period of God’s mercy, which is from Adam’s fall until the last day; nevertheless, we who are “redeemed” (Saved by the simplicity of the Gospel) even through the troubles caused by sin, we are to operate and rest with Security in the Simplicity of the Gospel!!

AMEN!!
