Words of Hope Ron Burtz

Like people, government leaders and businesses, sometimes local churches lose their way and forget why we're here and what our true mission is in this world. This sermon is a reminder that the church exists to have a dynamic relationship with God through worship, prayer and the Word, a dynamic relationship with other believers through true and authentic Christian fellowship and a dynamic relationship with unbelievers through evangelism.

While the word "repentance" is found throughout the Bible in both Old and New Testaments, it seems to have fallen out of favor in the church in our day. It is thought by many to be a negative term, and yet it was at the forefront of the ministries of John the Baptist, Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
This message seeks to correct that misunderstanding and show the priority the Bible places upon repentance in the conversion of sinners and a lifestyle of true biblical repentance.

In this study of Romans 1, Ron Burtz attempts to answer the questions "Where are we as a culture?" and "How did we decline so far and so fast?" This message looks at such biblical themes as the righteousness and wrath of God, the glorious gospel of Christ and how a society gets into a situation of being abandoned by God.

The service closes with the congregation singing "All Glory Be to Christ."
