Bookends of the Christian Life, Part 3

0 Comments

Yesterday Ben Wikner preached our third “Bookends” message on “Gospel Enemy #2,” persistent guilt. He showed us how persistent guilt ultimately denies and competes with the gospel. 

Options:
  • Listen online or download an mp3 of the message.
  • Download a summary outline in PDF format.
  • Use the following questions to reflect on how to apply the message to your life:

1.  Reread Hebrews 9:11-14.  What are the three things that Christ has done for us as our High Priest?  What is the divine truth that emerges from this passage?

2.  In what ways does your conscience struggle with persistent guilt?

3.  In what ways is persistent guilt an enemy of the gospel?

4.  How can you shift your focus off your sin, take it to the cross, and leave it there?

5.  How is persistent guilt transformed into joyful gratitude and loving service by the gospel?
