Preaching Point: The cross promises forgiveness through God's sacrificial love in Christ, which should compel us to know the exact nature of God’s divine forgiveness.

Teaching Points:

1. Justification: Jesus’ Death Legally Cleared All Charges Against You.
2. Substitution: Jesus Took Your Place Under God’s Judgment.
3. Propitiation: Jesus Removed God’s Wrath, Granting His Favor.
4. Redemption: Jesus Paid the Price to Purchase You from Sin’s Penalty.
5. Reconciliation: Jesus Transferred You Into Right Relationship with God.

Main Text: Galatians 5:16–23 (ESV) 16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Preaching Point: God provides abundant peace to those who deliberately seek Him and follow Him.

Main Text: Titus 2:11–14 (ESV) 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Preaching Point: A sufficient understanding of God's grace should motivate Christians to strive for godly lives as we eagerly await Christ's return.
