The God of New Beginnings (Sermon)

Our God makes all things new. God’s mercies and compassion are new unto his people every morning. It’s a great blessing to know that we wake up every day with a new, fresh day with a blank slate for God to bless us in. Sometimes we might feel as if we are too messed up for God to begin a new work in us, but our God makes all things new. The first step in this new work is regeneration in which God makes us a new creature by giving us a new spirit in our soul. Then, after we are made a new creature, we can serve the Lord in newness of life.

The God of New Beginnings

“5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” (Rev. 21:5)

Our God is in the business of making all things new. He is the God of new beginnings. As we embark on a new year in 2021, it can be a blessing to feel like you have a new year with a fresh, new, blank slate on which to write new blessings and new life experiences throughout this coming year. Each new day is like a new page in the book of our life. Every new year is like a new chapter in that book. God is in the business of turning the page to a new blessed chapter in our lives. There are many examples in scriptures of those who endured very difficult seasons of their life – some very hard pages and chapters – but then God turned the page and gave them a new chapter in their life. In like manner, we need to take this new year, this new day, as an opportunity for God to write a new, blessed chapter in our lives.

“It Is Finished” – A Past Tense Salvation

When we consider eternal salvation, as Primitive Baptists we simply take Jesus at his word on the cross when he declared “It Is Finished”! We must then ask, what did Jesus actually finish on the cross? Did Christ just do his part of salvation and now he is waiting and dependent upon the sinner to believe to actually be fully saved? No, the Bible teaches that Jesus completed all the requirements for eternal salvation on the cross. Let us consider together the many verses that present the “past tense” nature of our eternal salvation – that Jesus has “finished” our eternal salvation and we rest in Jesus’ finished work of salvation today.

Confession, Forgiveness, & Repentance

Visiting Minister Elder Buddy Abernathy identifies the difference between fellowship with God in our lives of discipleship and our relationship as children of God. It’s true that some children do not act as honorable to their parents as they ought, but that does not mean they cease to be children. When we as the children of God, confess our sins, the Lord is willing and ready to forgive our sins when we repent from our wayward deeds.

A Child is Born, A Son is Given (Isaiah 9:6)

Message delivered by Elder David Wise at Tyler PBC in Tyler, TX on 12/20/2020. When we consider the birth of Jesus, it’s a divine mystery how that little bitty, normal-looking child was actually God manifest in the flesh – both the Son of man and the Son of God. The titles of Jesus in this text give us a glimpse into the divinity of this little child – Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.

Blessing of Fearing the Lord (Psalm 128)

Blessed (happy) is the man who fear the Lord. A fear and reverence of God is an evidence of regeneration, an evidence that we are blessed to be among God’s elect. But we can experience greater blessings in Zion and in the church when we live with a mental reverence and fear of God. Our families will be blessed when we reverence God and put God first, then our wife, children, and grandchildren will be blessed out of Zion in the church.

Fearfully & Wonderfully Made (Psalm 139, Part 2)

When we consider the magnitude and majesty of our God that knows everything and is everywhere, it is absolutely astounding that our God would think on us at all. God has known us from our conception in our mother’s womb and there is no where in our life where God is not with us and guiding us. When we consider the intricacy of our creation, we should be left with one conclusion – to praise God that we are so fearfully and wonderfully made.

Except the Lord Build the House (Psalm 127)

We are totally dependent upon the Lord for success in any matter, but especially in building a godly house – both in our families and in our churches. After laying the foundation of the Lord in the home, we then consider the basic building block of both families and churches – our children. Children are an inheritance and reward from the Lord and we need to raise up children and shoot out our God-given arrows for the glory of God.
