Sermon-10-23-16

We will never be free until we are dead to the whole business of justifying ourselves.  And, the really good news is that Jesus came to raise the dead!  Our situation is not hopeless because God is the master of impossible situations.  Through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, we are able to discover that we are freed from the burden of self-justification.  We are recipients of an amazing gift – God’s all-encompassing grace.  And that grace enables us to let go of self and go forth to love and care for all those around us.
