Christ Church of Franklin County

This track is longer than the sermon, my apologies for not turning if off after the sermon.

The introductory sermon in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit.

Note: the pastor mentions a childlike faith has an implicit trust in the parent (or spiritually, in God). This is distinct from the Catholic doctrine of implicit faith, which teaches one must accept the teaching of the Catholic Church without question. To have faith in our Heavenly Father, without the full knowledge to express why, is the focus of this passage. Such will then grow as the Holy Spirit works in our understanding over time. To be saved, one must have faith... not a degree in doctrine.

The pastor would like to clarify something he said in the sermon.1. The primary focus of "lost" is those who have not yet been saved. 2. The parable leaves us with the question of whether the Pharisees are saved. 3. The believer who has strayed into sin and backslidden, although they may have been saved, nonetheless should cry out the same as the one who has never done so before, and should also expect Christ to seek and restore, even as He has before.
