October 1 Sermon: Transformed by the Spirit
In week four of our series “Understanding Grace” we look at the doctrine of Irresistible Grace. For those appointed to salvation, the Holy Spirit will work in their life to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible teaches us that we are all dead in sin and unable to come to God on our own. However, when the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin and draws us to Christ, we understand the irresistible nature of God’s grace.
The doctrine of irresistible grace is a source of great comfort and assurance for believers. It reminds us that our salvation is not dependent on our own efforts, but on the grace of God. It also gives us confidence that God will continue His transforming work in our lives to conform us to the image of His Son.
Consider these questions as you think about the message this week:
1. How does the concept of "irresistible grace" challenge or align with the idea that individuals have the free will to accept or reject faith? What is the transformative role of the Holy Spirit in this process?
2. In what ways does the passage from Romans (Romans 8:28–34) illustrate the depth of God's grace? How does the text emphasize that God's grace is not dependent on human merit or actions?
3. How does the imagery of the Lord's Supper serve as a tangible representation of the Doctrines of Grace? How does partaking in this meal symbolize the believer's dependence on God's transformative work?
