In Worship this Weekend

Preaching: Pastor Craig Brown
Sermon: Road to Reformation: Experiencing Law and Gospel
Law and Gospel describe both the different contents of God’s Word and the effect of God’s Word. Through the Law, we are convicted of our inability to satisfy the demands of the law and recognize our need for God. Through the Gospel, God offers the promise of forgiveness and salvation.
Scriptures: Galatians 3:23-28; Matthew 5:17-20
