Life on the West Side

Blessed Assurance

November 15, 2022 • Nathan Guy • Season 2 • Episode 37

Spiritual neurotics, find comfort in your Savior. Hear the sweet voice of Jesus say "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Hear the words of the apostle whom Jesus loved as he writes "so that you may know that you have eternal life." Rest assured that not only in the space between prayers of confession, but at every moment of your walk as a struggling, imperfect, but trusting follower of Jesus, you have a righteousness that is not your own--but one given through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. Sleep well knowing your father sees you not in your sin, but in your Savior. Yes, Virginia, you too can sing "Blessed Assurance."

The sermon today is titled "Blessed Assurance." The Scripture reading is from 1 John 5:13. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on November 6, 2022. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under Begin: A Peaceful Assurance.
