  15. A TIME OF SHARING WITH GOD’S CHILDREN OF ALL AGES

  16. The U.S. Bill of Rights includes >> Freedom of religion >> FREEDOM OF THE PRESS >> The right to bear arms >> Security against unreasonable search and seizure >> The right to trial by jury >> The right to peaceable assembly (See the first ten Consitutional Amendments)

  17. Romans 8:1-11 Read by Elder Neil VanDerJagt There is now no condemnationfor those who are in Christ Jesus,because through Christ Jesusthe law of the Spirit of life set me freefrom the law of sin and death.For what the law was powerless to doin that it was weakened by the sin nature,God did by sending His own Sonin the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful manin order that the righteous requirements of the lawmight be fully met in us,who do not live according to the sinful naturebut according to the Spirit.

  18. Those who live according to the sinful naturehave their minds set on what that nature desires;But those who live in accordance with the Spirithave their minds set on what the Spirit desires.The mind of sinful man is death,but the mind controlled by the Spiritis life and peace.The sinful mind is hostile to God.It does not submit to God’s law,nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sin naturecannot please God. You, however,are controlled NOT by the sinful naturebut by the Spirit,IF the Spirit of God lives in you.

  19. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,he does not belong to Christ.But if Christ is in you,your body is dead because of sin,yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Himwho raised Christ from the deadis living in you,He who raised Christ from the deadwill also give life to your mortal bodiesthrough His Spirit,who lives in you.

  20. BIND US TOGETHER: #425 Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken; Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with love.

  21. There is only one God; There is only one King; There is only one body; That is why we can sing: Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken; Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together, Lord; Bind us together with love.

  22. THE SERMON NO STRINGS ATTACHED Bayshore Gardens Community Church Dr. Daniel Herlein

  23. AN INBORN PREDISPOSITION TO SIN: Psalms 51:5 - Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me in her womb. Romans 5:12 and 5:19 - Sin entered the world through one person, Adam, and death through sin, and in this way sin came to all persons. Through the disobedience of Adam all who followed were born sinners.

  24. THE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH, Chapter 6 Our first parents disobeyed God in eating the forbidden fruit. By this sin,they fell from their original righteousnessand communion with God,and so became dead in sin.From our first parents,being the root of all mankind,the guilt of this sin was passed on.This same death in sin and corrupted naturewas conveyed to all their posterity.

  25. FROM THE HEIDELBERG CATECHISM Question 7. From where does the depravity of human nature come? Answer: From the fall and disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in Paradise; Hence, our nature is so corrupt, that we are all conceived and born in sin.

  26. FROM THE CANONS OF DORDT Article 1: Since all people have sinned in Adam and have come under the sentence of the curse and eternal death, God would have done no one an injustice if it had been his will to leave the entire human race in sin and under the curse, and to condemn them on account of their sin. (Romans 3:19; 3:23; 6:23).

  27. What happens when the sin nature • is not subjected to God’s standards (Romans 1:29‑31) • A pretty good description • of a typical evening • of prime-time television

  28. Freedom from God’s expectations is NOT a life of perfect freedom When we live without limits, we become slaves to our sin nature

  29. The Bad News (Romans 8:6) Paul uses the word “Flesh”(σαρκὸς) here to describe our state of beingwhen our focus is ONLY ON OURSELVES, >> what I want >> what I need >> what I think I deserve >> my thoughts >> my decisons >> my lifestyle >> my priorities.

  30. The Good News: (Romans 8:6b) To set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace Paul uses the word “Spirit”(πνεύματος) to describe our state of beingwhen our focus is >> on what GOD wants >> on what GOD expects >> on what GOD deserves >> on the standards GOD has established for our own good

  31. MORE GOOD NEWS Romans 8:1-2 There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me FREE from the law of sin and death.

  32. THE MARVELOUS PARADOX OF OUR FAITH The truest form of freedom comes when we recognize that following God’s expectations will make us much more free and happy than if we choose to live the way we want outside of God’s divine parameters.

  33. The Parable of the little kite that wanted to be free !

  34. APPLICATION >> When we are connected to God . . . >> When we obediently follow His expectations . . . we're a whole lot better offthan we are flying off on our ownand getting ourselvesentangled, snared and torn in the branches ofpotentiallyself-destructive practices. (Romans 8:11)

  35. How WELL CONNECTED are you to God? Romans 8:6 - “To set the mind on the flesh is death,but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace”

  36. The Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD, AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS; AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL. FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER AMEN.

  41. THE CLOSING HYMN #492 At Calvary

  42. (1) Years I spent in vanity and pride,Caring not my Lord was crucified,Knowing not it was for me He diedOn Calvary. Mercy there was great, And grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found libertyAt Calvary.

  43. (2) By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,Till my guilty soul imploring turnedTo Calvary. Mercy there was great, And grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found libertyAt Calvary.

  44. (3) Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,Now I gladly own Him as my King,Now my raptured soul can only singOf Calvary! Mercy there was great, And grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found libertyAt Calvary

  45. (4) Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!Oh, the mighty gulf that God did spanAt Calvary! Mercy there was great, And grace was free;Pardon there was multiplied to me;There my burdened soul found libertyAt Calvary
