We were blessed to be able to start the service with 2 more baptisms and those are included on the podcast. Then Pastor Dustin Clegg picks up with our study, In View of His Mercies, and as we look at Romans 4:13-25 he gives us 3 observations from the text.

1) God's promises are always bigger than we can understand when we hear them.

2) Faith must be the horse that pulls the cart in the race of Christianity.

3) Faith in Jesus is not about good or bad people being better. It's about dead things made alive.

How does this apply to you?

1) Everyone must be saved by grace through faith in Jesus.

2) Anyone can be saved by grace through faith in Jesus.

Pastor Dustin Clegg had planned a message today to continue with our study of the book of Romans, but he asked if a few of the teenagers would share about their experience at Church Camp and more and more wanted to share so he decided to let them "preach" instead. And we had one baptism planned and ended up having three! It was a great day of hearing what the Lord has been doing in the life of our teenagers.

Continuing with our study of the book of Romans today we look at Romans 4 and talk about the necessary mess.

How will you respond today?

How will you respond today?

Continuing with the series, In View of His Mercies, and our study of the book of Romans, Pastor Dustin Clegg walks us through Romans 3:1-20 and gives us a few words to think about:

1) Important but insufficient. (3:1-10)

2) All and none. (3:9-20)

3) The unmentioned name from Romans 1:1 - 3:20 that should strike us.

But now.....

Today Pastor Dustin Clegg continues in the book of Romans and the series, In View of His Mercies.

Today we continue in the series, In View of His Mercies, and look at Romans 2:1-8. Pastor Dustin Clegg walks us through the passage and we talk about the differences between Moralism and the Gospel.

Moralism

1) Operates out of ignorance of what is actually going on in others.

2) Focuses on the badness of people.

3) Is self-saturated.

The Gospel

1) Is based on the whole truth alone.

2) Teaches us to walk in His mercies.

3) Is always righteous and holy.

Application

If you keep smelling dog poop everywhere you go and on everyone you meet, check your own shoes.
