Bear with me as I endeavor to get used to the touchy toggle switch for the w/t. For those with slower internet, I will make the audio alone available as well. Some may not have fast enough service to be able to see the video comfortably without lagging. God bless!

Sermon Outline

“Until He Comes: Remember to Remember!”- II Pet. 3:1-2a

Remembering is a very important part of life: Wife’s birthday, anniversary, promises made, deeds to be done. Rallying cries: “Remember the Alamo!” “Remember the Maine!” “Remember Pearl Harbor!” “Remember 9-11!” Bible full of commands to remember - Deuteronomy 8:2, I Chronicles 16:12, Ecclesiastes 12:1, Ephesians 2:12-13 2012 Theme: “Until He Comes” - looking for Jesus to come and living according to that perspective. Until Jesus comes, we must remember to remember. I Peter 3:1-2a - “This is now the 2nd letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember…” John Calvin: “They stood in need of being often stirred up. The minds of the godly become dim, and as it were contract rust when admonitions cease…men even endued with learning become, in a manner, drowsy, except they are stirred up by constant warnings…” There are things we should forget: sins of others, failures, even victories - Philippians 3:13. But there are some things it is good to remember. Today, we celebrate through the 2 ordinances of the Church: Communion & Baptism. The Lord’s Supper is a memorial celebration - Luke 22:19 Remember: 1)That God sent His Son to be our Savior, 2)That Jesus died on the cross, in our place, for our sins, 3)That we who partake of the bread & cup have by faith embraced Christ as our Savior & Lord, 4)That we have committed our lives to Him, 5)That we are the redeemed, forgiven children of God, 6)Etc, etc! Partake w/gratitude & sober reflection on what has been done, who we are in Christ, & the commitment of our lives to Christ. Baptism is not a memorial, but a statement/declaration of faith. Publicly confess that we believe, have received & are committed to Jesus Christ as Savior/Lord of our lives. Witnessing another’s baptism should serve as a memorial to us, to remind us of the stand that we took however many years ago, & the commitment we made to Christ. Are you following thru? Are you walking w/Christ? Do you know Him better now than you did then? Are you serving Him? Do you love Him? Be committed today. Be true today. Until Jesus comes, we must remember to remember what God has done for us in Christ, who we are in Christ & the commitment we have made to Christ.
