from Jesus Alone is God
Email: [email protected] https://apostolicinternational.com/ Statement of beliefs: https://apostolicinternational.com/statement-of-beliefs The sermon: https://apostolicinternational.com/sermons/SHALL_HE_FIND_FAITH.pdf This sermon is built around Jesus' searching question in Luke 18:8: "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Rather than treating this as merely a question about personal belief, the message asks whether Jesus would recognize modern Christianity as reflecting the faith He originally established. The sermon contrasts the simplicity of Christ's ministry with many modern expressions of Christianity. Jesus proclaimed repentance, the Kingdom of God, and salvation through His death and resurrection, yet churches today can become preoccupied with institutional growth, theological disputes, organizational loyalty, and religious structures rather than genuine devotion to Christ. The same searching question is extended to Christian families, where broken relationships, neglect of children, and hardened hearts often replace the love and compassion Jesus commanded. The message also examines the human heart, arguing that Jesus sees beyond outward religious activity to unbelief, materialism, anxiety, and moral compromise. Rather than leaving people in despair, Christ calls them to seek His Kingdom and trust His provision. A section of the sermon compares Trinitarian and One God interpretations of Scripture, presenting the latter as its theological framework while emphasizing Jesus as the full revelation of God. The sermon concludes with hope rather than condemnation. It argues that neither the church, the family, nor individual believers are ultimately saved by their own performance or even by the strength of their faith. Instead, salvation rests entirely on the grace of Jesus Christ, whose work surpasses the ruin brought by Adam. Even if Christ finds imperfect faith, His abundant grace remains sufficient for all who genuinely believe in Him and trust His finished work.
