Salvation: Sanctification

Salvation: Sanctification

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Clay Naylor

Date: 14th November 2013

-------------------

Is it possible for us to notice our own spiritual growth and maturity as followers of Christ? What is our role in growing spiritually and what is God’s? Why is it that the more we mature in Christ the greater our awareness of sin becomes? Unlike justification, sanctification is a progressive work of God and man that makes us freer from sin and more like Christ in our actual lives. We should not be discouraged at how far from perfection we are, but rejoice that we are on our way and will eventually attain it because of Christ.

Salvation: Justification

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Kyle Webb

Date: 7th November 2013

Passage: Romans 3:23-24

-------------------

How is one justified before a holy God? Do we work to make ourselves right before God or do we need outside intervention? What is the difference between simply having your sins forgiven and being made righteous in God’s courtroom? Justification is an instantaneous legal act of God in which he (1) thinks of our sins as forgiven and Christ’s righteousness as belonging to us, and (2) declares us to be righteous in his sight.

Salvation: The Atonement of Christ

Salvation: The Atonement of Christ

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Clay Naylor

Date: 24th October 2013

Passage: Isaiah 53:4-8

-------------------

Why was it necessary for Jesus to come live a perfect life and then die on the cross? In what way was Christ our substitute? How did the love of God and the justice of God collide on the cross? Christ’s atoning work made right the offense and enmity between us and God. He became the propitiation for our sins by satisfying God’s just wrath and making Him favorable towards us. Christ expiated our sin by removing it from God’s presence and relieving guilt from our consciences.

Salvation: The Plan of Grace

Salvation: The Plan of Grace

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Clay Naylor

Date: 17th October 2013

Passage: Acts 4:27-28

-------------------

Has the existence of sin, darkness and death caught God off guard? Did God have a plan to reconcile sinners to Himself and restore His image in them? Did our salvation come to us by God’s initiative or our own? Some of the most comforting knowledge that we can possess is to know that God is a planning God. He is sovereign over all things and nothing is by chance or coincidence. This truth is also clearly seen in the glorious work of redemption and it should be a source of comfort to a believer.

God: The Living God

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Clay Naylor

Date: 12th September 2013

Passage: Exodus 3:1-15

-------------------

Who is God and what is He like? Why is it so important to have a right understanding of who God is? Why is it important to know God personally and live your life for Him? To have a right understanding of God and to know Him personally carries the greatest eternal value. How we view God will affect every single area and season of our lives.

Scripture: Bibliology

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Daniel Swanson

Date: 5th September 2013

Passage: Psalm 19:7-11

-------------------

What does the whole Bible teach about itself? The teachings of the Bible about itself can be classified into roughly four categories; (1) the Authority of Scripture, it is God’s Word and to believe or disbelieve it is to do so towards God Himself, (2) the Clarity of Scripture, it is what we need to know about God and ourselves is written clearly, (3) the Necessity of Scripture, it is needed to know God personally, for salvation, godly living (4) the Sufficiency of Scripture, it is all we need because it is as relevant and powerful today as ever.

Scripture: A Gift of Grace

Scripture: A Gift of Grace

Series: CFC University (2013)

Preacher: Clay Naylor

Date: 29th August 2013

Passage: 2 Timothy 3:16-17

-------------------

What is the Bible and how did we get it? Why is it important that the Bible be the basis for all that we believe? The Bible is God’s written revelation of Himself and His mighty deeds. It contains the true knowledge of the living God. All we need to know about God’s character, deeds, and creation are contained in its pages.
