Great Sermon! I needed this reminder of a consistent, persistent prayerlife, with the love of Christ, for others (& self) to GROW spiritually in the knowledge of His will. (and so much more, that you expanded on from the verse in Colossians 1:9-14) I like how God gave you the illustration of "Sowing" prayers for fruit to be shown, for God's glory.
May God bless you, your ministry and the people you shepherd with the same things that were emphasized in this verse.

bnlessing in Jesus yes I am thankful of your teaching on the new testament on everything is great , I`m asking can you give me more understand about paying tithe not according to the Law but according to Christ
Great Sermon! I found it interesting in #6 to hear synergism expressed. Calvinists typically deny any sense of it, and hold to monergism instead.
This was quite unexpected coming the Reformed camp, unless I misunderstand the Reformed position, or perhaps the speaker represents a less extreme form of Calvinism then I typically encounter?
Personally, I am an Arminian who accepts New Covenant Theology along with a Historic Premillennial Eschatology. Synergism is of course part and parcel of my view.
I wonder how many others approach NCT from this angle and where they can be found. In other words, to what extent NCT has crossed over into the Arminian camp.
I'm curious - does anyone have some links or insights along these lines?
Thank you Thank you, for this sermon. I must confess, I do not agree with its basic premise. That the Christian life entails work, labor, and striving seems clear from Scripture. Furthermore, to put Christ against Moses, seems unsafe. Remember, Moses was only a servant and his law was God's law. Finally, Reformed believers, agree we can only be sanctified by faith. We are justified and sanctified ONLY by faith. How else can we be sanctified but by faith. After all is said and done, I still believe the older Reformed, Protestant, and Puritan view best accords with Scripture. May God cause His face to shine upon you and yours.
