So here’s the deal.
We have been into Romans, and frankly, it’s weighty stuff. It’s deep. In order to get all the things Paul is trying to communicate, you have to do a fair amount of digging. And we’ve been doing just that.
But we’ve also seen that beneath the layers of info there are simple truths. The truth of universal human sin and confusion. The truth of God as a judge of sin. The truth of Jesus as the one who pays our penalty and dies in our place. The truth that by faith in him we become justified, right with our God and creator, truly free. We sometimes call that the truth of the gospel.
These simple truths are what we base our lives around; they are the core of who we are and how we see the world. And more importantly they provide the foundation upon which we build a life of knowing and following Jesus.
A life of faith.
And this life of faith is precisely that: a life, a walk, a journey.
This week, we will take a break from our study of Romans to share in the journey. To have a journey sesh. And if that sounds vague, the idea is simple: we will have time for music; time for some Scripture reading; time for random Q and A; time for sharing life-events, praises, and prayer requests; and time for prayer.
And the inspiration for our time will be Hebrews 11, a chapter about men and women (like you and me) who lived (and died) in faith.
Now quit yer talk talkin’ and git yer walk walkin’!
