Happy Memorial Day to you and your family! We hope and pray you are able to spend this day remembering what others have done for us to live in freedom and worship our God freely. In this sermon we hear from Pastor Trip and we dig into our tendency as fallen humans to compare ourselves to others. When, actually we should be looking to Jesus and asking ourselves how we can become more like him.
In week 4 of our series House Of Cards, we hear from Pastor Trip about another characteristic of the Christian faith. We look at the idea of righteousness and that the world is looking at us as Christians and the way we carry ourselves. One of the things we always miss as Christians is that righteousness is always relational. Our righteousness comes from our relationship with Jesus and doesn't stem from our own right works or what we might think makes us righteous.
As Christians, we believe that the Bible is God's divine word and has all authority over our lives. We believe that it is inerrant and God-breathed. At least, we say we believe those things about the Bible. But, do we actually live our lives like those things are true? Do we live under the authority of scripture? In today's message, Pastor Leroy challenges you to think about such things. We pray this message reminds you of the authority and power of God's word.
