Speaker 1: There's a book in the Bible called Romans, and the
Speaker 1: first ten chapters explain the concept of grace in great detail.
Speaker 1: Chapter three gives kind of a summary of it, and
Speaker 1: it says this Romans three twenty three, for all of
Speaker 1: sin and all falls short of God's glorious standard. Now,
Speaker 1: as I said, that's not news. It's certainly not good news.
Speaker 1: But it's not even news. We all know I don't
Speaker 1: measure up to my own standards, but us God's perfect standard.
Speaker 1: We've all sinned, We've all fall short of God's glorious standard.
Speaker 2: Yet here's the good news.
Speaker 1: Now, God, in his gracious kindness, that's grace, declares us
Speaker 1: not guilty. You might circle that that's righteousness. He declares
Speaker 1: us not guilty.
Speaker 2: Am I guilty? Yes? Do I deserve to be punished? Yes?
Speaker 2: Am I not guilt? Does God declare me not guilty? Yes?
Speaker 1: He has done this through Christ, Jesus, who has freed
Speaker 1: us by taking away our sins. For God's sent Jesus
Speaker 1: to take the punishment for our sin, the scapegoat, the
Speaker 1: sacrificial lamb, the punishment for our sins, and to satisfy
Speaker 1: God's anger against us. We are made right with God.
Speaker 1: When we believe that Jesus shed his blood sacrificing his
Speaker 1: life for us.
Speaker 2: This is atonement.
Speaker 1: Now in the church, we believe that God gave us
Speaker 1: two symbols to remember this important truth that I have
Speaker 1: made mistakes. I have blown it our sin. There's no
Speaker 1: way I could repay it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The Bible says, well, you know this. When you break
Speaker 1: man's laws, you pay man's penalty. You have speed, you
Speaker 1: get a ticket. When you break God's laws, you pay
Speaker 1: God's penalty. And the Bible says in scripture an Old
Speaker 1: Testament says the soul that sineth, it shall die. The
Speaker 1: Bible says, the wage of the sin is death. So
Speaker 1: somebody's got to pay for my sin, either me or
Speaker 1: somebody else. And this is where the judge becomes a
Speaker 1: savior and he says, I love you and I am
Speaker 1: going to do this for you. See, this is the
Speaker 1: difference between a lot of other systems and the Gospel
Speaker 1: of Grace. Other systems can say do, do, do, do,
Speaker 1: do do all these things to make God love you.
Speaker 1: Gospel of Grace says done done, It was done for you.
Speaker 1: That's grace. And we have two symbols of this baptism
Speaker 1: and communion.
Speaker 2: And baptism we.
Speaker 1: Take a person, we put them under the water and
Speaker 1: bring them back up, which is a symbol of a death,
Speaker 1: a burial, and a resurrection.
Speaker 2: Okay, and then communion.
Speaker 1: Jesus took bread and wine and said, this is going
Speaker 1: to represent my sacrifice for you, my body and my blood,
Speaker 1: atoning for your sin as foretold for centuries. Let me
Speaker 1: show you a couple of other verses. Two Corinthians, chapter
Speaker 1: five says this verse twenty one. God made Christ, who
Speaker 1: never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so
Speaker 1: that we could be made right with God through Christ.
Speaker 2: And in the Old.
Speaker 1: Testament there's an entire sacrificial system of the scapegoat and
Speaker 1: the sacrificial lamb who take the sins of the nation.
Speaker 1: It's the symbol of what Jesus would do for us
Speaker 1: one day. Look at this verse on the screen Titus three,
Speaker 1: verse five. God saves us not because of righteous things
Speaker 1: we've done. In other words, Wow, I'm really impressed with that.
Speaker 1: God doesn't save us because of what we've done, but
Speaker 1: because of his mercy. So this is the good news. First,
Speaker 1: I can't make myself righteous, I can't make myself. There's
Speaker 1: not a snowballs chance in hell. You're getting into heaven
Speaker 1: on your own effort because you're not good enough, and.
Speaker 2: Neither am I. But good news.
Speaker 1: God sent Jesus to pay for my sins. Now here's
Speaker 1: the third part of the gospel. Write this down. I
Speaker 1: accept by faith what God did for me. I accept
Speaker 1: by faith what God did for me. That's all you
Speaker 1: have to do. That's all I'm required to do. I simply,
Speaker 1: all I do is accept God's grace, his mercy. I
Speaker 1: accept God's forgiveness. And I say, I believe that what
Speaker 1: Jesus did on the cross paid for my sins. So
Speaker 1: I can go and be a part of God's family.
Speaker 1: I can live the way he wants me to live now,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to have an eternity that is righteousness.
Speaker 1: Let me show you a couple verses Romans chapter three.
Speaker 1: We are made right in God's sight. That's righteousness when
Speaker 1: we do a whole bunch of good things. And I
Speaker 1: didn't say that we're made right in God's sight when
Speaker 1: we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins.
Speaker 1: And I love this part. And here's the cool part.
Speaker 1: We can all be saved. That's everybody in the same way,
Speaker 1: no matter who we are, what we've done.
Speaker 2: All right. I like that part.
Speaker 1: I want to say hallelujah to that part. We can
Speaker 1: all be saved. Remember who we are, what we've done,
Speaker 1: who we've done it with, how long we've done it.
Speaker 1: All be saved now. I don't care what religious background
Speaker 1: you are. Your background may be Catholic, your background may
Speaker 1: be Baptist or Buddhist. Your background may be Muslim or Methodist,
Speaker 1: or Mormon or Pentecostal or Presbyterian. You and background may
Speaker 1: be atheist or agnostic or secularist, or no faith at all,
Speaker 1: or mix up of everything. I really couldn't care less
Speaker 1: about that because religion, no religion, can get you to heaven.
Speaker 1: Only God's grace can get you to heaven. No amount
Speaker 1: of works can make you righteous. Whether it's this guy's
Speaker 1: list or this guy's list or that guy's list, None
Speaker 1: of those religious lists can get you to heaven because
Speaker 1: you can't be righteous enough. It's just simply a relationship
Speaker 1: to God, to his son Jesus.
Speaker 2: And here's what the Bible says Romans chapter ten.
Speaker 1: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.
Speaker 1: In other words, he is who he claimed to be.
Speaker 1: He's the Son of God, the savior of the world.
Speaker 1: He came to die for you. If you confess with
Speaker 1: your mouth, yeah, I believe Jesus's Lord, and you believe
Speaker 1: in your heart that God raised him from the dead.
Speaker 1: That's what Easter is all about. You will be saved
Speaker 1: for you believe him. For you believe with your heart,
Speaker 1: resulting in righteousness, and you confess with your mouth, resulting
Speaker 1: in salvation. Now, I want you to settle this issue
Speaker 1: this morning, as your friend, as somebody cares about you,
Speaker 1: as your pastor. I don't want you to ever doubt, ever, ever, ever,
Speaker 1: ever again that you're going to heaven when you die.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to worry about it. I don't
Speaker 1: want you to be concerned about it. I don't want
Speaker 1: you to have any doubts about it. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: do what Romans tends says to do. Confess with your
Speaker 1: mouth and believe in your heart. You will be saved.
Speaker 1: Would God lie? Know why? Because God cannot lie. People
Speaker 1: haven't ask me is there anything God can do? There
Speaker 1: are a lot of things God can't do. One of
Speaker 1: them is he can't deny his characters, so it means
Speaker 1: God cannot lie. God can only tell the truth, and
Speaker 1: what's true is always true, and what's false is always false.
Speaker 1: If truth wasn't always true, the universe wouldn't work. If
Speaker 1: law of gravity was only true on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
Speaker 1: that would be a problem. The universe operates because some
Speaker 1: things are always true and some things are always untrue.
Speaker 1: The moon is not made of cheese. You might want
Speaker 1: to think that, but it's not true. And so the
Speaker 1: Bible says, I am true. She said, I am the Way,
Speaker 1: I am the Truth, and I am the life. No
Speaker 1: one comes to the Father but by me. I want
Speaker 1: you to be absolutely certain you've settled this issue in
Speaker 1: your life. On what basis do you know you're going
Speaker 1: to heaven? On a what basis of scripture? Do you
Speaker 1: know that you're going to heaven? And so I'm going
Speaker 1: to pray a simple prayer. Honestly, it doesn't even matter
Speaker 1: the words you pray. What matters is the humility of
Speaker 1: your heart when you say God, God is God, and
Speaker 1: I'm not and God, there's not a snowball's chance in
Speaker 1: hell of me earning perfection. I need somebody. I can't
Speaker 1: swim to Hawaii. I gotta get on a boat. I
Speaker 1: need a savior. I need an arc to save me
Speaker 1: in the flood. So that's bower Heads. And right now,
Speaker 1: just in your own heart, why don't you tell God
Speaker 1: you love him? To say God, I love you, or
Speaker 1: maybe you can say God, I want to learn to
Speaker 1: love you, and then just say these words. Dear God,
Speaker 1: thank you for creating me. Thank you for having a
Speaker 1: plan and purpose for my life. Thank you for loving
Speaker 1: me even when I didn't know you. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your plan of grace, something I could never earn or deserve.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it all, Dear God, but as much
Speaker 1: as I know how, I want to accept your grace,
Speaker 1: your forgiveness and the atonement for my sins.
Speaker 2: I hunger and.
Speaker 1: Thirst for you and for your righteousness, and so Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: as much as I know how, I open my life
Speaker 1: to you. I want to learn to love you and
Speaker 1: trust you. I want to learn to get to know
Speaker 1: you the rest of my life. And I humbly make
Speaker 1: this request admitting that I need you God in my life.
Speaker 2: In your name, I pray Amen.
Speaker 1: Now if you just prayed with me, just now to
Speaker 1: receive Jesus Christ. I want to say, that's the smartest
Speaker 1: decision you've ever made in your life. And congratulations. Did
Speaker 1: you know that? In Luke chapter fifteen, it says the
Speaker 1: angels are throwing a party in heaven right now for you.
Speaker 1: Every time one person steps across the line, they have
Speaker 1: a party in heaven. So I'd like to celebrate with
Speaker 1: you too, and I'd like to send you some free
Speaker 1: materials to help you understand the spiritual journey that you've
Speaker 1: just taken. The first step. All you need to do
Speaker 1: is email me. Let me know, say Rick, I prayed
Speaker 1: that prayer open my life to Christ. We'll get you
Speaker 1: some minew materials, We'll pray with you, and we'll celebrate you. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: So the fourth key to being blessed by God is
Speaker 1: to have a spiritual hunger for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: God blesses those who are hunger, hungry, and thirsty for
Speaker 1: righteous They will be filled. Now, doctors tell it that
Speaker 1: the symptom of illness.
Speaker 2: Is you lose your appetite. You know this.
Speaker 1: When you're sick, you got a fever, you don't feel good.
Speaker 1: You have as food is the last thing on your mind.
Speaker 1: A loss of appetite says you're sick, and a loss
Speaker 1: of appetite for gods. I don't really care about God.
Speaker 1: I don't really care about knowing him. Knowing his word,
Speaker 1: doing his ways indicates you are spiritually sick.
Speaker 2: You're not healthy. You got to get your appetite back.
Speaker 1: So how do I stay spiritually hungry the rest of
Speaker 1: my life?
Speaker 2: Because this is a good thing.
Speaker 1: How do I make sure I maintain an appetite for
Speaker 1: God the rest of my life? Write these down quickly,
Speaker 1: five things. I'm not going to spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time describing them. I just want you to write them down.
Speaker 1: You can think about them at home. Number one, the
Speaker 1: first key to a spiritual appetite is remind myself how
Speaker 1: much God loves me. Remind myself how much God loves me.
Speaker 1: When you get up in the morning, before you put
Speaker 1: your feet down inside of it and said, God, help
Speaker 1: me the sense how much you love me.
Speaker 2: I had a guy tell me one time.
Speaker 1: He said, you know, Rick, I don't really have any
Speaker 1: hunger for God.
Speaker 2: I don't have.
Speaker 1: Any desire to know God. He said, I guess the
Speaker 1: real problem with me is I don't love God enough.
Speaker 1: I said, friend, that's not your problem. Your problem is
Speaker 1: not that you don't love God enough. The problem is
Speaker 1: you don't know how much he loves you, because if
Speaker 1: you did, you can't help fall in love with a
Speaker 1: God who loves you that much. When Jesus dies on
Speaker 1: the cross, he says, this is how much I love you.
Speaker 1: I love you this much. I love you so much
Speaker 1: it hurts. I love you so much. I'd rather die
Speaker 1: than live without you. You cannot make God stop loving you.
Speaker 1: You can try, but you'll fail. God's love is based
Speaker 1: on who he is, not who you are. So he
Speaker 1: loves you on your good days and bad days, and
Speaker 1: you need your remind yourself of that. And that creates
Speaker 1: a hunger for you to know him. You want to
Speaker 1: know anybody who loves you that much. If somebody died
Speaker 1: for you, wouldn't.
Speaker 2: You want to know him? Yes, you would.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this pray that you have the power
Speaker 1: to understand how wide, how long, how high, and how
Speaker 1: deep God's love really is. May you experience the love
Speaker 1: of Christ, though it's so great you'll never ever fully
Speaker 1: understand it, But he says, then you will be filled
Speaker 1: with the fullness of life and the power that comes
Speaker 1: from God. That's where fulfilled life, satisfying life comes from.
Speaker 1: You got to understand how much God loves you. Number
Speaker 1: two second key to staying hungry spiritually. Stop filling up
Speaker 1: on junk food. Stop filling up on junk food. Stop
Speaker 1: trying to fill your mind and your life with other
Speaker 1: things that you think are going to satisfy you, when
Speaker 1: really what you're looking for and longing for is God. Now,
Speaker 1: when God made you, he put a physical hunger and
Speaker 1: a spiritual hunger inside you. We all know how to
Speaker 1: take care of the physical hunger, eat, but we often
Speaker 1: don't know how to take care of the spiritual hunger,
Speaker 1: and we don't know how to deal with it. But
Speaker 1: there's this hole in you, this God shaped hole that
Speaker 1: only God could fill. And so you need to stop
Speaker 1: filling up on junk food. Now, let me just tell
Speaker 1: you this. If you're not hungry for God, it's because
Speaker 1: you're full of something else, and you may be full
Speaker 1: of yourself. A lot of people are not hungry for
Speaker 1: God because they're so full of themselves and they have
Speaker 1: no hunger.
Speaker 2: Look at this verse on the screen.
Speaker 1: I love this book verse out of Proverbs and the
Speaker 1: New living translation, a wise person is hungry for truth,
Speaker 1: while the fool feeds on trash. Maybe you need to
Speaker 1: take some trash out of your life. If you're filling
Speaker 1: your mind with all these movies and all of these
Speaker 1: books and novels and all of these gossip magazines, it's
Speaker 1: no longer you have no hunger for God. And if
Speaker 1: you're filling your mind with all of the things about politics,
Speaker 1: that about everything, it is no wonder you're having a
Speaker 1: hunger for God. You're full on other things. Isaiah fifty five.
Speaker 1: The prophet says this. The Lord says, all you who
Speaker 1: are thirsty, come to me and drink. And those of
Speaker 1: you don't have any money to buy food, come to
Speaker 1: me and eat for free. And then he says, why
Speaker 1: do you spend your money on something that isn't real
Speaker 1: food and doesn't really satisfy you.
Speaker 2: Come to me.
Speaker 1: Notice you didn't say come to religion and then say
Speaker 1: come to rules, regulations, rituals. He says, come to me
Speaker 1: a person, Come to me, and you'll eat what is good,
Speaker 1: and your soul will enjoy the stuff that really satisfies.
Speaker 1: You know, when I read that verse and I saw
Speaker 1: that food, said some of you are eating stuff that
Speaker 1: isn't real food. I read an article this week about
Speaker 1: how people are starving to death by eating worthless food,
Speaker 1: and it gave a couple of examples that in the
Speaker 1: Great Famine of China, there was no food for millions
Speaker 1: and millions and millions of people, and there was nothing
Speaker 1: to eat, and so the Chinese actually started making a
Speaker 1: kind of bread out of an edible soil.
Speaker 2: It was dirt, literally, it was dirt.
Speaker 1: And it was an edible soil that they would make
Speaker 1: this fake bread and then they would eat it and
Speaker 1: it would fill them up temporarily and their stomach pains
Speaker 1: and pangs would go away. The problem with it is
Speaker 1: it had no nutritional value, no vitamins, no minerals, no fats,
Speaker 1: no carbohydrates, no protein, and so they were filling up
Speaker 1: and starving to death at the same time they were
Speaker 1: temporarily satisfied. It had no nutrition in it. Similar thing
Speaker 1: happened in Australia during their Great Depression. During that Great Depression,
Speaker 1: and there was a really like a famine and people
Speaker 1: didn't have any money for food. And there is a
Speaker 1: fern in Australia called the navou nardu plant. It's an
Speaker 1: our new fern. They're all literally all over Australia, and
Speaker 1: they would take the spores of the Nardu fern and
Speaker 1: they would make a porridge out of it. And people
Speaker 1: were eating this porridge. The only problem was again no
Speaker 1: nutritional value, no fats, no carbohydrates, no minerals, no protein,
Speaker 1: no vitamins, and so people were dying of starvation with
Speaker 1: their stomachs full. Friends, that is an accurate description of
Speaker 1: the United States of America right now. Our nation is
Speaker 1: gorging itself to death on spiritual junk food, thinking that
Speaker 1: pleasure and passion and popularity and privilege and prestige and
Speaker 1: power and possessions are going to satisfy. But they could
Speaker 1: have read thousands of year ago, Solomon said that one
Speaker 1: doesn't work. That one doesn't work. And we have people
Speaker 1: in America with full bellies and empty souls and they're
Speaker 1: starving to death spiritually.
Speaker 2: You need to stop eating junk food.
Speaker 1: Number three. Here's the third key. By the way, you know,
Speaker 1: Kay and I have another ritual that we do. It's
Speaker 1: every Monday. Monday is my day off, so we like
Speaker 1: to go out for lunch or for dinner on Mondays
Speaker 1: and we play this game every week.
Speaker 2: What are you hungry for?
Speaker 1: Anybody vaguely familiar with this game?
Speaker 2: What are you hungry for? Mexican?
Speaker 1: Chinese food and Mediterranean food?
Speaker 2: Italian?
Speaker 1: You know you're hungry, but you don't know what you want.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question, what are you most
Speaker 1: hungry for? Because your hunger will determine your happiness. If
Speaker 1: you're hungry for your sports and your favorite team and
Speaker 1: that's all you think about, you're going to be left empty.
Speaker 1: If you're hungry for fame or fortune, you're going to
Speaker 1: be left empty. You got to be hungry and thirsty
Speaker 1: for righteousness for then you'll be filled. Number three, make
Speaker 1: knowing God my number one goal. Make it my number
Speaker 1: one goal in life. You don't seek happiness, You seek God.
Speaker 1: You don't seek success, You seek God. And if you
Speaker 1: want a good example, this is just go read the Psalms.
Speaker 1: David is the pro at hungering and thirsty for righteousness,
Speaker 1: and David over and over says, I long for you God.
Speaker 1: I thirst for you, God as a deer pants for water.
Speaker 2: God. I've got to have you. I cry out to God.
Speaker 2: I plead with you, God.
Speaker 1: I beg you, God, I seek you God, I cry
Speaker 1: out to you, God, I am longing for you. God,
Speaker 1: look at this verse on the screen. The Bible says
Speaker 1: in Psalm sixty three, Oh God, I earnestly seek you.
Speaker 1: My soul thirst for you, my body longs for you
Speaker 1: as I travel through this parched and weary desert where
Speaker 1: there's no water. David wrote this psalm as he was
Speaker 1: going through the desert of Judea. But you're going through
Speaker 1: some deserts right now. To some of you, your marriage
Speaker 1: is a desert. It's all dried up. Some of you
Speaker 1: are in a financial desert. Your money is all dried up.
Speaker 1: Some of you are ha did your dream turn into
Speaker 1: a desert? It's all dried up. Or a relationship or
Speaker 1: a friendship or a career, it's all dried up. What
Speaker 1: do you do when you're going through the desert? You
Speaker 1: do what David did. God, I'm thirsty for you. I
Speaker 1: gotta have you. It's the number one goal of my life.
Speaker 1: Jesus said it like this, Matthew six thirty three. The
Speaker 1: thing you should want most is God's kingdom and doing
Speaker 1: what God wants us, and then all these other things
Speaker 1: you need will be given to you. Seek first, the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things
Speaker 1: will be added to you. Number four, Get into God's
Speaker 1: Word every day. Get into God's Word every day. Now,
Speaker 1: this book, the Bible, is God's soul food for you.
Speaker 1: It's food for your soul. In scriptures, God's Word is
Speaker 1: called meat, it's called bread, it's called honey, it's called milk.
Speaker 1: Lots of metaphors. This is spiritual food. If you don't
Speaker 1: eat spiritual food, you're going to dry up. You got
Speaker 1: to get into God's Word every day. Look at a
Speaker 1: couple verses here verse Peter two. You must crave the
Speaker 1: pure spiritual milk of the Word so that you can
Speaker 1: grow into the fullness of your salvation. Cry out for
Speaker 1: this nourishment like a baby cries for milk. You know,
Speaker 1: during forty days in the Word, I showed you this verse.
Speaker 1: Look at the two Timothy Iree. All scripture is God breathed, inspired,
Speaker 1: and it's useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.
Speaker 1: You want to be trained in righteous You need to
Speaker 1: get into this book more and more and more. Now
Speaker 1: let me just close with this. Studies have shown that
Speaker 1: appetite is influenced by association. In other words, who you
Speaker 1: hang out with has a strong influence on what you eat.
Speaker 1: Associations influence appetite. You get a bunch of little kids
Speaker 1: together and have one kid.
Speaker 2: Say hey, I'm hungry. What happens everybody's hungry.
Speaker 1: If I said, right now, man, I would like a
Speaker 1: good in and out burger, fifty percent, just start salivating.
Speaker 1: Association influences your appetite. So you want to hang out
Speaker 1: with people who are hungry for God. If you hang
Speaker 1: out with people who are just hungry for politics, you're
Speaker 1: going to become that. If you're hung if you hang
Speaker 1: out with people who are only hungry for sports, that's
Speaker 1: what you're going to become.
Speaker 2: Here's the last thing. Join a small group for support.
Speaker 1: Join a small group for support to keep you spiritually hungry.
Speaker 1: Proverbs chapter two, verse twenty. Join the company of good
Speaker 1: men and women who will keep you.
Speaker 2: On the path of the righteous. Let's vow for prayer. Father.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for each person that's here today,
Speaker 1: and I thank you how you satisfy us when we
Speaker 1: seek you. Not your blessing, not happiness, not pleasure, passion,
Speaker 1: or possession, or any of those other things, but when
Speaker 1: we seek you, you said we will be filled. And
Speaker 1: so I pray a blessing on every person here this week.
Speaker 1: And I pray that this week that will accept by
Speaker 1: faith what you did for us, That we will remind
Speaker 1: ourselves how much you love us, that will stop filling
Speaker 1: up on junk food, that will make knowing you the
Speaker 1: number one goal of our life. Help us to get
Speaker 1: into the Word every day if we can't read it,
Speaker 1: to listen to it on the radio or in MP
Speaker 1: three's or whatever. And help us to have a group
Speaker 1: that supports us to keep us spiritually hungry. I pray
Speaker 1: this blessing on every person in Jesus' name.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 1: Today, I want to invite you to join me in
Speaker 1: something that's very close to my heart, fulfilling the great
Speaker 1: commission of Jesus Christ. Sharing the good news is the
Speaker 1: most important thing we do when we work together. There's
Speaker 1: nothing that God cannot do to us. When we're unified

Speaker 1: reaching nearly every country in the world. That's one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety seven nations. We're going to even places where
Speaker 1: it's difficult or dangerous or illegal to talk about Christ openly.
Speaker 1: We're sharing the certain hope of Jesus and it's changing
Speaker 1: life every single day. Right now, we have an incredible opportunity.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying this to you personally. There's some
Speaker 1: very generous friends that have offered to match every single
