Eric Ludy Sermons

Believing is important business in the kingdom of Heaven. In a sense, you could call it "the work of the kingdom." Most Christians are paranoid of the concept of work even being associated with the idea of faith. But the kind of work which we as Christians are supposed to be antagonistic towards is termed in Scripture as "the work of the flesh." The work of faith is an altogether different operation. And it is this heavenly work of faith that saves.

You thought genealogies were boring? Well, not after this message, you won’t! Throughout world history, the Hebrews have stood unmatched in their maintenance of genealogies, lineage, and descent. God promised them that from their bloodline would come One who would rescue the world from sin. This "Deliverer" would be of the seed of the woman, born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, and would be from of everlasting. Well, this "Deliverer" has come. And just as promised, He was born of a virgin girl in Bethlehem, and He was no mere man. He was God born in the body of a man. Buckle your seat belt for this one!

As it says in Scripture - it was by one man's disobedience (Adam) that sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and death passed upon us all. But that is not the end of the story. For it was by One Man (The Last Adam - Jesus) that the gift of grace has abounded to many and many shall be made righteous . . . and live. To behold the love, beauty, power, and majesty of this Last Adam is to witness the heart of God for each one of us.

As it says in Scripture, it was by one man's disobedience (Adam) that sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and that thusly death passed upon us all. But that is not the end of the story. For it was by one man—the last Adam, Jesus—that the gift of grace has abounded to many, and many shall be made righteous... and live! To behold the love, beauty, power, and majesty of this “last Adam” is to witness the heart of God for each one of us.

This message is a study in the sway of public persuasion. It is uncanny how the opinions of others can weigh so heavily upon our decisions in this life. Most of us would consider it Heaven to be free for just one day from the pressures of what others think. But the Gospel promises to do better than that. If we receive the liberating power of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection into our lives, it will free us from the tyranny of public approval... forever.

This is a study in the inextinguishable, unstoppable power of life. If you put death against life, life wins. Satan may have had the power of death, but Jesus arrived 2,000 years ago toting the power of an endless life. The showdown at Calvary proved to all the watching world that the agenda of everlasting life will not be stopped. Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?

If you are familiar with the Ellerslie Short Film entitled “The Gospel,” then you will be duly prepped for this message, which is the full-blown sermon edition (thunder and all). At Ellerslie we are not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation! Praise God for such a message of resounding victory, redemption, and grace!

This is a powerful enunciation of one of the most abused and twisted doctrines of our day: the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a force, a mere influence, a convicting vibe—He is a Person. To be even more specific, He is God. He is the Almighty, the All-Powerful, Tri-Holy God come to dwell within us and live His almightiness through us.

As Christians, may we not deal in the cheapened love of mere emotion and relational fancy. May we not diminish the Heavenly Love of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit by intermingling the world's self-entreating love with Heaven's self-expending Love. May we shun the cheap imitation and only handle the sacred river of pure Love that flows, clear as crystal, from beneath the Throne of Grace unto the saints of God and through the saints of God out onto this Love-parched world. This message gives a fresh vision of the Cross and the Love that sent our precious Jesus there and held Him there with cords of searing loss until all was accomplished.
