- Nov 5, 2017The Just Shall Live By Faith
Nov 5, 2017The Just Shall Live By FaithSeries: No SeriesAs Martin Luther studied Romans 1:17, he only saw the side of condemnation regarding the justice of God. He saw the righteousness of God as a condemnation of sinners. After much studying though, Luther began to realize that the justice of God is a good thing. We are made righteous by faith, not by works or actions. It was the justice of God that sent Jesus Christ to the cross because sin had to be paid for; there had to be a blood sacrifice. Now because Christ paid for all our sins, we are made righteous when we accept Him as our Savior. Romans 1:17 (NKJV)

Jesus asked, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?” Matthew 15: 1-3 (NKJV)

Sep 10, 2017Bacon and Eggs? (Moving Beyond Ourselves)Series: No SeriesAs Christians, we need to move beyond ourselves in serving, loving, and building relationships. Our goal should be with one mind and one voice to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul discusses how food was a stumbling block in the early Church because people judged each other based on what they ate. We are not to be judgmental of others. Each person will one day give an account of themselves to God and He is the one who will judge. We are to love and lead people to know Jesus, and not be a stumbling block to them. Romans 14, Romans 15:1-7 (NKJV)
