9 May 2021 - Receive Superabounding Grace - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes - New Creation Church Sermon NotesPastor Joseph Prince taught that Grace is not just a topic—it is the Gospel! Unlike the Law which came in beside, Grace is the main agenda on God’s heart. Wherever sin increased, grace super-abounds much more in that area. This is the good news that has been misunderstood by many, even during the apostle Paul’s time, but it is a principle of God’s restoration. Jesus became the perfect guilt offering so that God and man can both receive much more than what was lost through Adam’s sin! Praise and Worship Songs Performed: 1. Rain Upon My Life - New Creation Worship 2. Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus - Helen H. Lemmel 3. Here I Am to Worship - Tim Hughes Romans 1:16-17 - There are forces that were trying to make Paul ashamed of the Gospel. The Gospel is not the revelation of man’s sin but the revelation of the gift of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ. The word “salvation” in the passage is not just salvation from Hell, but also welfare, prosperity, and preservation from evil. “For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”” (Romans 1:16-17 WEB) Romans 10:2-3 - It was people who were trying to establish their own righteousness that were persecuting Paul. The gift of righteousness will not make you have a ‘holier than thou’ attitude. It makes you thankful and humbled to receive a free gift. “For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.” (Romans 10:2-3 WEB) Ephesians 2:8-9 - Some legalistic people do not like this truth because the flesh wants to take credit and boast in its works. “for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB) Galatians 1:6 - Gospel means “good news”. The Gospel of Grace is the Grace of Christ. “I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;” (Galatians 1:6 WEB) Acts 20:24 - The Gospel is the Gospel of the Grace of God. Grace is not just a topic—it is the Gospel. “But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:24 WEB) Hebrews 10:1-2 - If righteousness could come through the Law, then we would no longer have any consciousness of sins. But righteousness cannot come through the Law. “For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near. Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?” (Hebrews 10:1-2 WEB)
