From Our Pastors

Preparing for Worship, 10.15.2017

Posted by Kevin Blalock on

Prepare your hearts to worship the risen Lord Jesus this Sunday. We will be in the third week of our Reformation series, and looking at two of the "5 solas" of the Reformation: grace alone and faith alone.

Grace alone: We are saved by the grace of God alone, and not on our own merit

Faith alone: We are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ 

Songs:

A Mighty Fortress

O Praise the Name

What a Beautiful Name

Oh The Cross

Sermon Text: Ephesians 2: 1-10

1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience - 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
