This Sunday the sermon is from Romans 7:20-25 - The Spiritual Christian (Part 2).

“Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Romans 7:25

The late Presbyterian minister D. James Kennedy formulated a great spiritual “diagnostic question.” He asked, “Suppose you were to die tonight and stand before God and he were to say to you, ‘Why should I let you into my heaven?’ What would you say?” Well, what would you say? My prayer is that everyone who reads these words would say, “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Romans 7:20–25

[20] Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

[21] So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. [22] For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, [23] but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. [24] Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? [25] Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. (ESV)


What We Believe

That the Gospel is the “good news of the Kingdom of God” given to all people by God for us to know and believe Him.

The Gospel teaches us that we are more sinful than we ever dared to believe or admit; the good news is that, through Jesus Christ’s life, death, resurrection and eternal intercession on our behalf, we are more loved, more accepted, more forgiven than we ever dared hope or dream. Though, in our sin, we were enemies of God, through Jesus Christ, His Son, we are reconciled to Him, adopted as His sons and daughters, and granted eternal security by His grace through our faith in Him.

That the church is a people who God has called His own and who He has given to each other for love and community.

The Bible describes the church as people who belong to God and to each other, gathered together by belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and, by their mutual reconciliation to God through the Gospel. The church is not simply a building or meeting place, nor is it merely a place of religious observation, but a living and growing community of men, women and children whose identity is shaped by love through our belonging to God and to each other.

That our reconciliation to God through the Gospel compels us to live transformed lives.

The truth of the Gospel re-creates us into a people whose lives are transformed by a commitment and passion for God and His glory. God has uniquely called and equipped His church to display and demonstrate the power of the Gospel to transform individuals and communities. Just as the Gospel is the “good news of the Kingdom of God”, the church is a foretaste of the Kingdom of God on earth, struggling, learning and growing together in an understanding of what it means to follow Christ with the whole of our lives.

We are a Presbyterian and Reformed congregation and hold firmly to the system of beliefs and doctrine found in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Westminster Catechisms.
