We're glad to have our visitors with with us as well.

And if you have not filled out, a visitor's vizards car, that it there is a tear out in the bulletin.

We love to have you fill that out.

And if you would place it in one of our offering boxes, they're in the back, would love to have a record of your visit.

If you would take him, I wasn't with me to 1st Peter.

1st Peter, chapter number one, we have just finished our series and preaching on and through the letters that were written from the Lord Jesus, to the seven churches of Asia, Minor in Revelation, Chapter 2 and 3, and I certainly enjoyed preaching.

Those passages of scripture, not have heard from you that you have enjoyed listening and growing.

From those passages of scripture in Revelation Chapter 2. But this morning we looking at First Peter chapter, number one.

In verse 18, the title of the message this morning is redeemed.

How I love to Proclaim.

It redeemed, how I love to Proclaim it.

If you have been in church for many years, you recognize the title of my message is also a title of a him that we often sing redeemed.

How I love to Proclaim.

It was written by Fanny Crosby in the mid-1800s.

A Fanny Crosby wrote hundreds of him's many of those hymns.

We still sing very often today.

If any Crosby was a blind lady.

She was physically unable to see But if you sing some of her him you found that she was may not been able to see physically, but my could she see spiritually redeemed.

How I love to Proclaim it.

The first verse.

Goes like this redeemed, how I love to Proclaim.

It Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb redeemed.

Through his, through his infinite, Mercy, his child.

I forever a.m.

Of course, the theme of that song is the theme of redemption and that is also the focus of this message this morning, as we will partake of the Lord's supper and just a moment.

But Redemption is a beautiful, beautiful word.

Let's read our scripture, 1st Peter, chapter 1 verse 18 says, knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from your aimless, conduct received by tradition from your father's, but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb, without blemish, and without spot, Indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was what was manifest in these last times for you who threw him?

Believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory.

So that your Faith and Hope are in god.

Let's pray, Our Father Lord.

We once again, for your presence Lord.

We thank you all ready for the songs that have pointed us to Calvary songs that I pointed us to your great love.

For us.

Your mercy and your grace and father.

I praise.

We look at this passage of scripture.

Father.

I pray that even those who have heard the gospel, many, many times in Happily the gospel.

Father.

I pray that through the working of the Holy Spirit.

It would be as if they had this was the first time they heard the gospel.

Because it's so beautiful.

Lord help us not to take the gospel for granted.

And father, I pray for those who are here, who are lost.

They have never been saved.

No father.

I pray that the holy spirit of God would bring about conviction and draw them to your son.

Jesus, father.

May we rejoice and what you have provided for us and sending us your dear son, the Lord Jesus to take our place.

Father, help us to live, as you would have us to live.

Help us to listen.

And help us to apply this teaching of your word to our hearts and lives.

We ask all of these things in Christ name and all of God's people said, amen.

And amen.

One of the best-known Puritans was a man by the name of Thomas Watson.

He was born in 1620 and lived until 1686.

He said this about Redemption which he described as God's greatest work.

He wrote this great was the work of creation, but greater the work of redemption.

It cost more to redeem, has been to make us.

In one, Speaking of creation, there was, but the speaking of his word.

And the other speaking of the Redemption of man, there was the shedding of blood that great.

I love reading the old Puritan writers.

What is redemption exactly?

Maybe you have heard the word, many times growing up in church.

If you learned it in Sunday school, you're hurt and Vacation Bible School.

You have something about Redemption for many years.

Possibly.

But what does it mean?

Well, I want to look at that word in the Greek word, translator redeem refers to paying a price to purchase the release of a prisoner or to purchase the release of a slave.

In this message are application of the word redeem or Redemption, describe the cost of our salvation and the means by which the cost was paid.

That here's here's the thing that we must understand is that we were all proved Guilty by the law of God.

When we look at the law of God, which in, which he has provided for us?

We understand that we're guilty because every one of us has broken the laws of God.

And by the way, the law of God, he is actually a Grace to us.

It is actually a grace even though we're broken upon it.

Because if God had not provided for us the law that we would never know that we were ever broken.

So even by the law of God are we can realize that.

Yes, we are broken.

Therefore we stand in need of God's Redemption.

We standing need to be redeemed and so are measuring stick of our Holiness.

It is not looking to our neighbor and comparing ourselves to our neighbors.

Say hey, look better than he is.

No, no.

No, you look at the Holiness of almighty God, you compare yourself to the Holiness and his demand that he has required of us.

And when you do that, you find out that the scripture is Perez.

All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

There is none righteous.

No, not one.

Every one of us has broken the laws of God, so we are in great need of our salvation.

We were also prisoners of Satan.

I before we were say we were prisoners of Satan unable to set ourselves free from sin bondage.

So, therefore today's greatest need for mankind.

It's not wisdom.

We don't need just education.

We don't need to know how to be a better person.

A greatest need is someone who can pay the price be deserved penalty for for our seeing.

We don't need anyone to teach us a lesson on how to be a better person.

We need someone who will stand in our place and take the punishment that we deserve.
