Pastor Chase Riebel’s sermon Sunday was on the problem of sin. Romans 8:13 says that if you live according to the flesh you will die. But, if by the Spirit, you fight the deeds of the body, you will live.
Sin, disobedience to the word of God, and inequity, rebellion against God’s authority, both fall short of the standard God has set for us. Theologist John Piper taught eternal life is attained along the path of warfare not of making peace with our sin.
Bruce Symes used scripture from Romans 3 and 5 while talking about righteousness and the peace we have through faith. We draw closer to God through reading His word, but also by being involved in a church where we have people to learn from and to lean on and to love.
Brant and Danielle McGhee led music portion of the service, accompanied by Isla, Petra and Mike Billings.
