“ Truth to be heeded. ” So much to take comfort in and so much to take to heart in this sermon. Christ is our beloved bride and the church our beloved family. We should encourage one another in Christ and be there for each other.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thoughts on Aliyah’s comment - have you considered that perhaps it’s an indication from God that you have to search deeper? Just because it doesn’t speak to you doesn’t mean the speaker “was not up to the task.” It is like people who go to church and criticize that the there’s nothing in it for them. What they want is self centered, all centering upon one’s own expectations...and if expectations are not met, than whatever it is is deemed as not good. Here lies a very obvious reason you have to seek Christ deeper into your heart.
“ Not every Jew is saved! ” All true Mrs. Williams. Only a remnant will be saved. This has always been true from the beginning. Ishmael was the earthly son of the first Jew Abraham and Esau the son of Jacob but neither Ishmael or Esau were Jews. God is not a respecter of persons but He is a respecter of His covenants as noted in God's repeatedly saying in Ezekiel that He will do what He will do for Israel not because of Israel but for His own name's sake. Because of His covenant with them that He made. God put Abraham to sleep when He made His covenant with Him. It all depends on God not Abraham. Just as is the case for all sinner's, Israel did everything wrong and God did everything right. Israel can't save itself and neither can we. With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
