He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 1 Peter 2:22–24 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Sermon Notes Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 2 Corinthians 5:11–21 | The Love of Christ Controls Us v11 - Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord … v11 - … we persuade others. v12-13 - We are not commending ourselves … v14 - For the love of Christ controls us A truly gospel-centered church requires gospel-centered households. James 5:19–20 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 1 John 4:16–21 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but

The Spirit as a Guarantee WE ARE ALWAYS OF GOOD COURAGE a. The Logic of Courage b. Walk by Faith THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Philip Hughes ‘the earnest of the Spirit’ is not a mere static deposit, but the active vivifying operation of the Holy Spirit within the believer, assuring him that the same principle of power which effected the resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead is also present and at work within him, preparing his mortal body for the consummation of his redemption in the glorification of his body. John Calvin Let us, however, consider this settled: that no one has made progress in the school of Christ who does not joyfully await the day of death and final resurrection. Titus 2:11–13 For t

I hope you’re o.k. with that, for your ultimate joy is dependent on God being God. Were God to be less than supremely glorious and praiseworthy, we are the ones who stand to lose. Our ultimate and eternal satisfaction is dependent on his being ultimately and eternally satisfying. If God should ever be less than infinitely deserving of all praise and honor and credit for whatever good is achieved, our delight in him is to that extent diminished. If any degree of power derives from us or if the praise i

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

MINISTRY COMMENDATION MINISTRY CONFIDENCE MINISTRY GLORY MINISTRY UNVEILED** 2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boast is this … that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you. 2 Corinthians 1:17–18 Do I make my plans according to the flesh, ready to say “Yes, yes” and “No, no” at the same time?
 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you has not been Yes and No. 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures Romans 4:15 For the law brings wrath Exodus 34:29–33 When M

Sermon Notes Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 04 | 2 Corinthians 2:5-17 | Captives to Grace **1. DISCIPLINE IS GRACE AT WORK IN THE BODY CAPTIVES TO GRACE** 2 Corinthians 7:5–7 For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—fighting without and fear within. But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more. 1 Corinthians 12:26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 2 Corinthians 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? Hebrews 12:7–8 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and

Sermon Notes Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe 03 | 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:4 | Our Boast is the Grace of God FOR OUR BOAST IS THIS … THE THEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT: THE PROMISE IS YES THE PRACTICAL ARGUMENT: IT WAS TO SPARE YOU** The method of ministry is to be congruent with the grace of God to which our ministry bears witness. Simplicity and godly sincerity are the means by which the minister of the gospel labors so that our boast is in the grace of God. 1 Corinthians 1:28–31 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 10:17–18 Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. Jeremiah 9:23–24 Let n

Exodus 33:19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? James 1:2-4 2 Count it all jo

The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in

Sermon Notes • Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe • **1. THE FORGOTTEN ONE THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH THE ATHANASIAN CREED THE WORK OF THE TRIUNE GOD THE ECONOMICS OF THE APOSTLES’ CREED** And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal. As also there are not three uncreated nor three incomprehensible, but one uncreated and one incomprehensible. So likewise the Fa
