Playlist: Our Foundation and Works (sermon series)
Richard T. Ritenbaugh
Christ Our Rock
The Rock of Ages: Christ as CornerstoneWhen Moses uses the metaphor of a rock, he thinks of the connotative qualities of enduring, unchanging, solid, awesome, strong, majestic, and beautiful.
Building on the Foundation
The Quality of Our WorkConsiderable effort must be expended to find suitable bedrock for use as a foundation. We must build on the proper foundation; our bedrock is Jesus Christ.
I Know Your Works
Jesus Christ's Words To His PeopleContrary to Protestant understanding, our works emphatically do count - showing or demonstrating (not just telling) that we will be obedient.
Judgment According to Works
Deeds Do MatterBecause God sees the content of our hearts, nothing escapes His attention. He mercifully judges over a lifetime of behaviors, not just isolated incidents.
Works of the Flesh
Under Human Nature's InfluenceOur outward works show what we believe, what we worship, and what we aspire to become. Apart from God, all human works activities are potentially destructive.
