Paul digs deeply into the theological truth that apart from Faith in Christ, there is no righteousness. How will faith bring changes to our lives? How will being made right through Christ bring us transformed lives of freedom, joy, sacrifice, and renewal?
We were created in the image of God. The fall has made that image hard to recognize, but the power of life in Christ awakens our hearts and calls us alive to become more and more like our Savior every day.
May 28 – The Right Spirit The day of Pentecost was the fulfillment of Christ’s promise to send the Holy Spirit. With the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, the disciples were empowered from on high to continue the ministry that Jesus started. Powered by the Holy Spirit, three thousand people were changed forever in the waters of baptism. The Holy Spirit fills our lives today with the power of life in Christ. All that we do in his name is the result of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
June 4 – The Right Mission The church has had one mission – to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded to you. How we do that here, in this time and this place, is awakening hearts in every generation to the power of life in Christ! As members of the church, each one of us has been given this mission – awakening hearts and making disciples, and that mission is empowered by the Holy Spirit and the constant presence of Jesus.
