How to Be Made Right with God, New series "The Gospel Defined" (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/2)

Radical Experiment 2011 Update
  • Today's Scripture Reading: Matthew 1-4
  • Today's Country: Peru (Latin America)
  • Commit your life to a multiplying community: commit your life to a local church that needs you and whom you need.
  • Spend time in another context: Give some of your time to help make the gospel known outside of your normal context (different community, city, nation).

Thanks to all who attended our Fall Renewal Services. Pastor Wright preached "God is a Keeper", Pastor Wilson preached "Watch Your Friends", and Pastor Charles Rainey preached "It's Not Over". I hope that the Word of God has refreshed and renewed your spiritual walk with Christ.

Today at 4pm, I spoke at Scott's Grove Church on Highway 55. I preached "How to Be Made Right with God" from Romans 3:21-31. The major points from the text are:
  • People are made right with God apart from the Law.  
  • People are made right with God through faith in Christ.  
  • Being made right with God is for all people.  
  • People are made right with God by grace. 
  • People are made right with God at great cost.  
  • People are made right with God in perfect justice.  
  • People are made right with God to establish the Law. 
To be justified means to be declared "not guilty".  It is what puts us in right standing with God.  We are not justified by works of the Law but by faith alone in Christ alone!

Don't forget to sign-up to be a part of our initiative Project: Know Thy Neighbor.

If we're going to share the Gospel with our neighbors then we better understand what the Gospel is. Is the Gospel "God loves you and has a plan for your life"? Join us this Wednesday at 7pm for the start of our new series, "The Gospel Defined".
