Preek/ Boodskap oor: Gelukkig is die Mens

Gelukkig is die mens wat nie die raad van goddeloses volg, nie op die pad van sondaars gaan staan en nie in die byeenkoms van spotters sit nie, maar wat vreugde vind in die wet van die Here en sy wet dag en nag mymerend prewel. So iemand sal wees soos ‘n boom geplant langs watervore, wat sy vrugte op sy tyd gee en waarvan die blare nie verdor nie. Alles wat hy aanpak, gedy. So is die goddeloses nieinteendeel, hulle is soos kaf wat die wind wegwaai. Daarom sal goddeloses nie kan opstaan tydens die regspraak, of sondaars in die byeenkoms van regverdiges nie. Ja, die Here dra sorg vir die pad van regverdiges, maar die pad van goddeloses loop dood.”

Preek/ Boodskap oor: Radikaal Deel 2 (Radikale Gebed)

A true story is told about a small town that had historically been “dry”, but then a local businessman decided to build a pub. A group of Christians from a local church were concerned and planned an all-night prayer meeting to ask God to intervene. It just so happened that shortly thereafter lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. The owner of the bar sued the church, claiming that the prayers of the congregation were responsible, but the church hired a lawyer to argue in court that they were not responsible. The presiding judge, after his initial review of the case, stated that “no matter how this case comes out, one thing is clear. We are sitting with a pub owner who believes in prayer and a group of Christians who do not.”

Preek/ Boodskap oor: Geregverdig

Luther’s central claim is that faith alone justifies (that is, makes a person righteous in the eyes of God) the one who believes in Christ as a result of hearing the gospel. This faith affects the imputation of Christ’s righteousness that covers the sins of the believer.
