Psalm 19 (Dan Bigg)

Christ Alone Genesis 3:1-21   Hebrews 10:1-10 Finding ourselves in this mess (Genesis 3) Before the fall: Be fruitful (Gen 1:28), Fully dependent on God (Gen 1 & 2) Sacrifice of animal to cover up shame God’s provision of sacrifice (Leviticus 17:11) Blood represents life In Christ Alone (Hebrews 10) Conclusion
Question for the week: If we know that Christ has done the work of saving us, how do we respond in the way we live? (Romans 12:1)

Grace Alone Ephesians 2:1-10 Why should I (Lord) let you into heaven?
We were once spiritually dead (v.1-3) The human condition: dead in our sins Rich Young Ruler (Matthew 19) Saved by Grace Alone (v.4-9) GRACE - “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.” Why is grace offensive? Our response to God’s grace (v.10-12) Back in the 1500s, the Church had corrupted the meaning of works teaching that: Faith + works = being right with God (justification). But by looking at the Bible, the Reformers like Luther amended the formula to: Faith + Grace = being right with God (justification) + works. James 2:24, 26 – Show me your works. Conclusion
“Christianity is not about morality in pursuit of divine reward, but about gratitude in response to God’s grace.” Question to ponder during the week: Why is grace so hard to understand and learn?

Faith Alone Romans 3:8-21, 5:1-2 “BELIEVE” What does it mean to be right with God? Salvation is by Grace ALONE Through Faith ALONE, In Christ ALONE According to Scripture ALONE To the Glory of God ALONE. We are not right with God (Romans 3:9-20) Getting Right with God (Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:21-26) The righteous will live by faith Alien Righteousness By Faith, our salvation is assured (Romans 5:1-9) Nothing in my hands I bring,Simply to your cross I cling;Naked, come to You for dress;Helpless, look to You for grace(Rock of Ages) ConclusionQuestion to think over the week: "If someone told you they believe in God but don't think they need to go to church or do good deeds, what would you say to them? Do you think faith alone is enough, or should it lead to something more?"
