Religion and Legalism VS. Relationship and Obedience. 9/10/23

Weekly Memory Verse: "Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." - Matthew 12:50

Sermon Scripture Reading: John 15:1-10

-THIS SUNDAY'S SERMON-

River Family,

This Sunday we will be walking through Matthew 12:43-50. Often times as folks share the gospel with others, their main focus is on shaping up and changing their behavior, missing the center of the gospel - having faith in Jesus and being in a relationship with Him, the One who changes our hearts.

How can moralism or good behavior be a dangerous thing?

Read verse 44. Why was a clean, orderly house not enough?

What was missing?

Who does Jesus say is His family?

Looking forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.

Grace and Peace, Eric

Until He comes, having the mind of Christ, walk together in grace and truth.
