Mill Creek Church

We will never completely know the mind of God. His ways are not our ways. We are justified by the blood of Christ. Therefore we are to be about the praise of God.

It is not because of our goodness that He chose as but by the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. He adopted us as sons and daughters to the good pleasure of His will.

The Lord has an eternal plan to save both Jews and Gentiles. He is a just God who keeps His promises. By His grace God the Father uses His church as a living testimony to bring all who Come to Him through salvation.

We can face this current society with great stress or we can walk with the Lord and rest in knowing He's in control. The future is hopeful and promising to those who accept Him as Savior. The Church is not about defeat but triumphant.

Without God we have no hope. Christ is our peace and He broke down the middle wall reconciling us to become Christ followers. His salvation is a gift. We must consider the goodness of God by meditating on His character and reading His word.

Our society is quickly moving away from the Church. It would be easy to have spiritual pride but like Paul I am the chief of sinners saved through the mercy of God. It is through grace I have been saved, through faith and not of me, it is a gift of God, not of works lest I boast.

Has God cast away His people- Certainly not- We are blessed when anyone is called to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We will rejoice when the Jews come to know Christ whether it is now or in the end-

How are we acceptable to God- First we acknowledge God, repent, and receive the blood covering of Jesus. Then we pursue righteousness through the help of the Holy Spirit. In spite of our unworthiness we are given grace to see Christ.

The Jews are God's chosen people. He loves Israel with an everlasting love. There is an election by grace not works and it applies to Gentiles also. We have more joy knowing we are chosen by God through His grace and not by our works.

We don't go looking for God because we love darkness and evil more than light and His goodness. God chooses us and we put off our former ways renewing our mind by His Spirit through the study and application of His word.

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Christ takes our shame, changes our heart and we experience peace.

The ways of the world are a waste of time. When we are friends of the world we are enemies to God. The carnal mind is against the ways of Christ. We must confess Christ as King and deny ourselves to have victory over sin.

We are all sinners saved by grace. Everyday we need His guidance, intercession and His word because we are weak. We have no righteousness but grace and truth come from Jesus Christ.

We will have clarity and peace when we submit our lives to God. Mans system will only produce failure resulting in pain. Christ followers are transformed and equipped to fight the battles of life.

We move from darkness to light by the Holy Spirit. We cannot earn righteousness it is a gift from God. We must repent of our sin, submit our life to the Lord's will and the Holy Spirit will take over illuminating and guiding our walk.

When we come to know God we have the mind of Christ indwelling in us by the illumination of the Holy Spirit. We then become salt and light that preserves and illuminates the world of His teachings.

We celebrate Easter because God is the conquerer, peace giver, ruler and redeemer. Christ washed us and made us accepted before the Lord. We have been transformed therefore we are accepted before Him.

Romans 4-11 -You are worthy O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power- for you created all things. And by your will they exist and were created.- We have been redeemed and transformed. Therefore we will be humbled before Him.

The Lord takes no pleasure in the death of sinner. He is long suffering with us and offers a way to Him. God commands that we repent of our sin and we will receive a new heart and a new spirit.

We must recognize that God makes the rules and He is in control. The Bible dictates how we will live our life. Our salvation is a merciful gift of God, therefore we give all the glory to Him.
