Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

Sermon Notes

ASSURANCE of SALVATION and the ONGOING FIGHT against SIN are not MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE in the heart of a genuine Christian - the LATTER is actually good EVIDENCE of the FORMER!

Romans 7:18-23 // Galatians 5:17, 25

“The evidence of being a Christian is not that there are no tactical defeats in the war, but that you keep fighting till the promised victory is given. That’s the evidence of being a Christian.” — John Piper

Though Christians are INWARDLY PROTECTED by the SPIRIT from APOSTASY and DEMONIC CONTROL, they are still CAPABLE of IDOLATRY when not vigilantly TENDING to their HEARTS.

Colossians 3:5

Hebrews 3:12-14 // Ephesians 5:15-17 // Proverbs 4:23

LIFELONG, faithful ‘ABIDING in CHRIST’ requires VISIBILITY and VULNERABILITY for the sake of loving ACCOUNTABILITY and INTERCESSORY PRAYER from our CHURCH family!

Galatians 6:1-2 // James 5:15-16, 19-20
