Romans 3:27-31 “The Path of Descent”

 Message: Romans 3:27-31 “The Path of Descent”

This week we return to our previous series that was cut short by Covid, “Reading Romans Backwards.” In this week’s message we’ll be looking at how the Romans and Jews both thought they had the advantage. Each considered themselves better than the other. But this was based on a misunderstanding of both the intention of Torah and the meaning of being Chosen in Christ. Instead of finding ourselves ‘worthy,’ Jesus invites us to follow him on “The Path of Descent,” where we realize that the only thing we should be boasting about is the Goodness and Grace of God.

2 Corinthians 7:8-10 “Why Can’t I Forgive Myself?”

Message: 2 Corinthians 7:8-10 “Why Can’t I Forgive Myself?”

In this final message in our series “The Grudge” we’ll be looking at the topic of forgiving ourselves. Sometimes the person that is hardest to forgive is ourselves. In this message we’ll look at the difference between two types of guilt: shame vs conviction. We’ll see how God applies conviction, but we often get trapped in shame. Once we understand the purpose of conviction, we’ll be more ready to forgive ourselves and move into the future God has for us.

1 Samuel 1:1-20 “Forgiving God?”

Message: 1 Samuel 1:1-20 “Forgiving God?”

In this week’s message, we continue our series “The Grudge.” We’ll be talking about those incredibly difficult things in our lives where God doesn’t seem to show up for us. The desperate prayers that seem to go unanswered. The times when we find ourselves thinking, “God, you could have done something. Why didn’t you?” We’ll see that God’s delays are not necessarily denials. And that though we don’t always get what we want, God always gives more than we knew to ask for. Our call is to trust God even when we don’t understand.
