The Blessing of being a Christian

Preacher:
Passage: Psalm 32:1-5, Colossians 2:12-15
Service Type:
  • My text is v1 – "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
    • Sports example
    • Numbers 6 – blessing and cursing
  • What a blessing it is to be a Christian!
    • Are you a Christian, are you saved?
    • Examples of blessings and curses
      • Jesus was cursed so that we would never be cursed
    • We are blessed in Jesus
      • Example from school – "it is finished, I have done it all"
      • Jesus did it all
    • How big a word is blessed?
    • How can I be forgiven?
      • Example of Rolls Royce – we breakdown all the time
      • We need to be saved from ourselves
      • We can be forgiven in Christ
    • Do you know this forgiveness?
      • Have you confessed your guilt to the Lord?
      • Example of 999 Lifesavers
      • Have you taken it home with you?
    • How big a deal is it for you that your sins are forgiven?
      • Do you have a true story of your salvation?
      • Example of woman in Luke 7
      • Example of Martin Luther
      • 1 John 1:9 – "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
    • Is there a better offer anywhere else in the world?
      • Example of wedding receipt
  • If you do not recognise the blessings of God, are you a Christian, are you saved?
    • Example of transformed son
    • Are you blessed?
