*SERMON*
*By*
*Rev.
Dr. James E. Tyus*
*Associate Minister*
*First** Baptist Church** *
*South Inglewood*
*Given*
*August 27, 2010*
*At*
*Back to School Revival*
* *
*I.
My Prayer*
* *
*II.
Greetings and Salutations*

*III.
Illustration:*
* *
As many of you already know, I religiously use the game of golf
as a way of rest and relaxation from the rigors of life that I constantly face.
No!! No!!! Sleep won’t do it.
If I simple go to sleep, I rehash all of my day’s activities in my dreams.
So I have learned over these years to go land do something else while I’m awake that will take my mind totally off my job.
Then I’ll get some rest.
As many of you have noticed, …
*…..I’m a Very High Strung Individual*
* *
*I’m always busy!!!*
* *
*Therefore, I have to have a way of calming down.*
* *
*Golf is my outlet!!!*
* *
But I don’t know what I’d do if golf was my job.
Take Tiger Woods for example.
He’s the number one golfer in the world.
And he has been *#1 *for more than five or six straight years.
*Even the great Jack Nicolas never matched that.*
* *
*The Great Tiger Woods, so proud, so confident; he walked the golf with that certain swagger.
*
* *
*“I’m Tiger Woods, Sitting on top of the world”.*
But have you seen Tiger lately?
*Now, **SIN and Personal Indiscretions** have taken away that swagger!!!!*
* *
Now he walks the golf with his shoulders sagging and head hung down.
It reminds of that world renowned rhythm and blues singer Iceman Jerry Butler.
Jerry Butler had a song that went:
*Boy, Boy!!! Why you running around *
*with your head hung down?*
*Crying your eyes out cause the woman *
*That you love is gone!!!*
* *
*There’s gonna be a whole lot of trouble *
*in your life.
But you’ll never succeed *
*if you give up now and say you life is through.*
* *
*I’m telling you, Only the strong survive.*
My Brothers and Sisters, Tiger Woods is no different that many of us that are going through trials and tribulations and feel like we have no *Hope!!!*
* *
*When trials come on every hand, you as a man or woman will feel most miserable!!!*
* *
*But I stopped by to tell you tonight, when you’re going through, when trials and tribulations come, you ought to be standing up and rejoicing!!!*
* *
*IV.
Scriptural Text:*
* Romans Chapter: 5 Verses: 1-6*
* *
*V.
Topic~/Theme:*
* **“When All Hope is Gone”*
* *
*VI.
Introduction:*
* *
It seems to me that we and even Tiger Woods, need to think to ourselves and say,
*“What do you Do when you’ve done all you can.*
* And it seems like it’s never enough”!!! *
* *
· *What do you do when bills are getting longer and your money has run out?*
· *What do you do when the doctors have given up and throw up their hands?*
· *What do you do when you husband or wife has walked away?*
· *What do you do “When All Hope is Gone”?*
My Brothers and sisters, I just stopped to let you know that you’re not the only one that is going through something.
*A man born of a woman is of a few days and full of trouble!!!*
* *
*Trials may come on every hand.
*
*But Brother and Sisters, There’s a Bright Side Somewhere!!!*
* *
*There is HOPE!!!*
The true Christian not only has a hope for the future, but he has confidence in the present trials of life.
*The “formula” for HOPE looks like this: *
· *Testing + Christ = Patience*;
· *Patience + Christ = Character [experience];*
· *Experience + Christ = Hope.
*
*VII.
Text Lesson:*
*When God declared us righteous in Jesus Christ, He gave to us several spiritual blessings that assure us that we cannot be lost.
*
*It’s in the Text!!!*
* *
*A.**
We have peace (v.
1).
--**Peace that passes all *
* **understanding.*
* *
The unsaved person is at “enmity with God” because he cannot obey God’s Law or fulfill God’s will.
There was a time when we, as Christians, were enemies of God.
*But now in Christ we have Peace with God.
*
Peace with God means that our problem with sin has been settled by the blood of Christ:
· *Tiger, not by Buddha’s blood.*
· *Not by Confucius’ blood.*
· *Not by Muhammad’s blood.*
· *Not by the blood of goats.*
*Only By His blood we, as Christians, have been Justified.*
*Justification* means that God declares us /righteous,/ which is a declaration of /peace,/ made possible* **“ONLY”* Christ’s death on the cross.
*B.**
We have Access to God (v.
2a).*
Before our salvation, we stood “in and with Adam” and we were condemned.
The word *“access”* here means “entrance to the king through the favor of another.”
