The gospel provides salvation from a lawless world. How? First, by providing forgiveness of man’s lawless deeds through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. And second, by providing a law of love (Romans 13:10, Galatians 5:14) by which we can live lawful lives in service to God. The gospel is, therefore, God’s perfect law of liberty (James 1:25), the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that frees us from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2).

(Matthew 21:28-32)

1. The background to this parable is to be found in Matthew 21:23-27

2. Jesus had previously in this chapter entered triumphantly into Jerusalem – with great joy of the crowd, He had run the moneychangers out of the temple, and He had denounced the fig tree so that it withered.

3. The chief priests and the elders of the people wanted to know by what authority He was doing these things.

Relationship With God Sermon – Sermon outline by David Hersey on having a right relationship with God.

INTRODUCTION:

A. Previously in Ecclesiastes 7:1-10 Solomon provided counsel for a better life showing that:

1. Honor is better than luxury

2. Death is better than your birth

3. A funeral is better than a party

4. The end is better than the beginning

5. The present is better than the past

6. This counsel is designed to make the best of life, especially since life “under the sun”is vanity

B. Now in Ecclesiastes 7:11-29 Solomon provides us with even more counsel to help us in life “under the sun”

In 1 John 3:4, the ASV reads, “Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.” That one verse tells us why we live in a lawless world today, because we live in a sinful world today. The world doesn’t have to have cattle rustlers, corrupt sheriffs, or saloon bosses to be lawless (though it often does). Sin, in and of itself, does the job. Truth be told, we probably don’t think of people’s sins as being lawlessness, but they are.

2. It was founded on THE scriptural foundation

3. It was founded at the scriptural place – Jerusalem

4. Christ is the founder of only one church – His church

5. It is scriptural in name.

B. This morning we will notice that I am a member of the church of Christ because it is scriptural in organization.

INTRODUCTION: Read Mark 1:1-8

1. Concerning the text.

1) When we think of John we think of preparation. His duty was to prepare the nation of Israel to receive the Christ.

2) This he did by preaching, by conversion, and by example of a godly life.

3) It will be much to our advantage to study what this text says about his job of preparation. We have a preparatory work of our own to do.

4) Jesus is coming again!
