Week of March 19, 2012

Bringing the Sermon Home: Bewitched! Gal. 3:1-5

Foolishness leads to disastrous results!

  • Where is your righteousness found?
  • What are you depending on for your righteousness?
  • In what ways might we wrongly attempt to supplement our faith with other things?
  • How does faith work itself out in both justification and sanctification?
  • How does faith “and” disparage Christ’s work?

Picnic Pictures
Check out the church website or Facebook page later this week for pictures from Sunday’s fun.

Scripture Memory Free Songs
Do songs help you and your children to memorize Scripture?  Covenant Life Church has produced more than a dozen free Scripture memory songs (ESV), all from the book of Galatians.  This week’s verse, Galatians 2:16 has a song you can use.  Visit www.tiny.cc/memorysongs.

Sermon recordings
If you or a family member sick or out of town, you can still hear the sermon.  We are gradually adding our archive of past sermons. The church website has the link to our SermonAudio page. www.gracefamilyinfo.org

The sermon from February 26, 2012, Keeping in Line with the Truth of the Gospel (Part 2), is available online.

Text: Galatians 2:17-21

“But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.”
