Brethren,

I trust you are well and rejoicing in Jesus as you navigate life in a fast changing world.

Our Quarter series on The Power of God at work in us continues this Sunday with a look at The Power of Faith in Salvation.

Key Takeaways include:
1. Faith in Jesus Christ expressed through believing with the heart and confessing with the mouth that Jesus is Lord and that God raised Him from death is all that is needed for salvation.

• a. Faith is not something we do. Rather it is a response to what God has already done on man’s behalf through Jesus Christ.
• b. The heart and the mouth are involved.
• c. This faith for salvation is available to whosoever (v.13) it does not matter one’s religious background or past.

2. Preaching the message about Jesus Christ is critical in the journey to faith in Christ.

• a. The message we preach should be about Jesus Christ 
• b. The message is especially in words. People need to hear the message about Christ. 
• c. God reveals Christ to people as they hear the message about Christ 
• d. Believers must be willing to preach the gospel 

3. Believing and confessing is usually preceded by hearing, understanding, and accepting what has been heard and understood. (Romans 10:14, 16-21). The posture of one’s heart can hinder or stimulate faith

See you in Church on Sunday.

Brethren,

I trust this meets you well.

Our quarter series on ‘The Power of God at work in us‘ is getting more interesting. This week we look at something many struggle with – believers and unbelievers. And that is God’s righteousness.

This Sunday’s topic is: God’s Righteousness Revealed. Key Learnings are:

1. Jews are chosen by God and custodians of the law, however, there’s a downside – we can’t be justified by the law because no one can keep the law.
2. No one can become righteous by their own efforts. God is the One who makes a person righteous. 
3. It is by the free grace of God through faith in the righteousness of Christ, that we (Jews and Gentiles) become righteous in God’s sight.

God wants us to accept His righteousness and not try working out our own.

Brethren,

 I trust this email finds you well.

This Sunday, we will be looking at the sticky issue of obedience as we continue in our quarter theme ‘The Power of God at work in us.’ Our topic is ‘Obedience- the essence of the Law.

Key Takeaways:
1. Reading, hearing, studying, and teaching the word of God without obeying it personally will not get us anywhere with God. Romans 2:13.
2. Nominal Christianity saps the power of the Church to influence society. Romans 2:17-29.
3. For those seeking salvation by obeying the Law, the whole Law must be obeyed, and not just heard. But this is impossible.

See attached outline for your further reference.

Our Christian identity is suspect if we don’t back it with obedience.
