This week, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Ephesians 2:1-10. He opens his sermon with comparing these verses in Ephesians to Romans 3:21-26 - both are central to the Gospel message. The verses in Romans teach the Forensic Gospel: How God accomplished our salvation. These verses in Ephesians teach the Pastoral Gospel: Why God did what He did, what motivated Him, and how He moved through the presentation of salvation to us. There is nothing we can do in our sin to earn our salvation; we have all missed the mark of God's standards. Our salvation is not based on us, but on God's perfect mercy and grace.

The Gospel of Salvation
January 7, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 3:21–26
In this Sunday’s teaching, Greg teaches from Romans 3. These verses show us how God saves us. Up until this point in Romans, Paul has been emphasizing how lost, and condemned humanity is. But, these verses show us that working harder is not what brings us salvation. We must accept the gift given freely to us by Christ's death on the cross. Through His death, we are made righteous, justified, and redeemed.

This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from John 3. These verses show us that becoming a Christian is being born as a spiritual being, being born into a life with God. We don't become believers by fixing the things that are wrong with us. We become believers by knowing we need someone better than us to save us.
