Sermon Category and Main Problem Category: Evangelistic Sermon with Ethical Overtones The sermon primarily encourages listeners to begin or deepen their relationship with Christ while including ethical exhortations about perseverance and focus. Main Problem: The sermon risks blending Gospel assurance with self-improvement themes, placing significant emphasis on human effort to "stay in the race," which may obscure the sufficiency of Christ’s work. Law and Gospel Distinction Law: The sermon calls for listeners to "let go" of sin, bitterness, and distractions and to endure challenges with perseverance. The Law is presented primarily as a call to action rather than a revelation of human inability. Gospel: Jesus is portrayed as the Pioneer and Perfector of Faith who endured the cross to remove barriers between humanity and God. However, the sermon spends less time unpacking the Gospel's transformative and sustaining power, focusing instead on human responses. Closest Expressions of Law and Gospel Law: "Let go of the bitterness, jealousy, and fears that are holding you back." Gospel: "Jesus endured the cross and scorned its shame so that you could run the race marked out for you." The Gospel's unconditional promise is present but not prominent. It often follows exhortations for human effort rather than being the foundation for them. Uses of Law Mirror (Theological Use): 40% - Identifies sin and calls hearers to throw off hindrances but does not fully expose human inability to overcome them without Christ. Civil Restraint: 10% - Encourages perseverance and focus as practical virtues. Didactic (Moral Guide): 50% - Provides guidance for living a disciplined Christian life but risks moralism by emphasizing effort over grace. Semi-Pelagian Danger The sermon leans toward Semi-Pelagianism by placing emphasis on human effort to maintain faith and run the race. Statements like "What do you fill the empty space with?" and "Are you trying too hard?" suggest that perseverance depends on human striving rather than God's enabling grace. Scoring Diagnostic Category Score (1-10) Textual Faithfulness 7 Law/Gospel Distinction 5 Bondage of the Will 4 Christ-Centered Focus 5 Pastoral Application 7 Theological Integrity 6 Total Score: 34/60 Grade: C Final Assessment This sermon captures the urgency of following Christ and the joy of His presence but overemphasizes human effort and perseverance at the expense of Gospel assurance. While the imagery of Jesus as a guide for the race is effective, the sermon would benefit from clarifying that Jesus' finished work is the foundation for running the race, not human determination. For future improvement: Strengthen Gospel Centrality: Explicitly connect Jesus' death and resurrection to the hearer's ability to "run the race." Balance Imperatives with Indicatives: Anchor every call to action in the completed work of Christ. Highlight Human Inability: Emphasize that perseverance comes not from striving but from reliance on Christ's sustaining power.

Thank You Erwin

This guy is a charlatan!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a false prophet

I got the assessment and book .. I have a question you show the wheel will it work like the color wheel, when I’m coloring and need to balance or cancel out I go across the color wheel to get the correction or balance, so can use it to find balance using the frequencies on a team or relationship? such a scommander may need a healer

If you can love someone in their imperfection, thats a miracle.

You will never reach your ultimate design. There is ONLY one way to achieve this in progression. Give your life to the great Designer, Creator of all. All of those submitted themselves to God and accepted His sovereignty!

I need to discover who I am in Christ. What God wants for my life and commit to the great commission.

Thanx for this great and powerful reminder Pastor Erwin ❤

Why is he dressed like that?

I don’t think I have ever felt more seen and understood by a message in my life. I pray to God I have an opportunity to meet Erwin one day so I can thank him for modeling how those of us with a victim saboteur can reframe and refocus our lives so we can serve our greatest purpose in life.

I just met one of your members, Dawn, who is here in WNC at REVOL Church to worship with us. She is a lovely, Christ-filled example of the servant-heart of your church! Thank you for your support by being the hands and feet of Jesus. Your presence mattered! God bless you all❤

Love the message you are so transparent.

The delight, it felt like I was a seer until the maven showed up. I love that I'm sturdy enough in myself and understand that sometimes the way I am misunderstood is a gift to others. I'm learning how to be OK with being misunderstood is a gift that God gave me through being misunderstood a lot of course :-) and I'm glad I see the gift portion now

Thank You AMEN!

"She doesn't want me to love her with unconditional love. She wants conditional love. I love you because...". Erwin!! What a statement and great dodge hahaha

Peace and Blessings! Proverbs 29:2 “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Exodus 18:21 “Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:” 1 Timothy 2:1-3 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;” 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” All Glory To GOD ALMIGHTY! Praised Be YOU KING JESUS... HALLELUJAH!!!

Thank you Ps. Erwin for the conviction-filled reminder!

I loved the lesson. Whenever I get stuck in my own thoughts, I turn to Erwin. His incredible ideas always open my mind.

Words can’t even express how good this is. God is so good.

WE are born in his likeness. He is the "creator". We are creators as we are created in his likeness.

Does anyone have a link to where we can take this quiz?

God does not want you to go through life, He wants life to come through you. This message was and is what we all need to hear.

The irony. Of shadows not being seen without external light

Where is this disaster house ?
