What We Need and Why We Need it in 2017

 

   1 Corinthians 15:1-2   Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2  and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.

 

  1. We need Reminding - Now I would remind you, brothers

 

     We are told we do many times in the Bible    

               Deuteronomy 4:9  

               2 Timothy 1:6-7,  2:8-9, 2:14  

               Titus 3:1-2  

               Jude 1:5  

 

     But Why?

                                              

     Remind us of what?    

                

  1. We Need Standing - in which you stand

 

     In what –                                                      Philippians 4:1  

 

               But we fall –  

              

     But Christ stands for us -           Acts 7:55-59  

 

     So we can stand in Christ - Romans 14:4  

 

  1. We Need Holding –    if you hold fast—

 

               Hold what?    -  2 Thessalonians 2:14-15  

 

               But how often we let go!

 

               But he does not let go but holds us -            John 10:27-29  

 

  1. We Need Warning - unless you believed in vain.

              

               The New Testament is full of stern warnings   

 

                              Colossians 1:28  

 

               But what about Election?

 

               Many appear elect but are not - Luke 8:14

 

  1. Why do we need this Supper?
