FEBRUARY 23rd CORPORATE WORSHIP DETAILS
Sermon Series - Sermon Preacher, Text, & Title: Romans - Luke Dufek, Romans 3:27-31
TITLE: Justification by Faith Destroys Pride
SUMMARY: In the preceding passage the Apostle Paul laid out the great gospel doctrine of justification by faith in Jesus Christ. In this passage he will make an important application of this doctrine explaining that because justification is by faith and not by works those who are justified have no reason to boast. From this we are reminded that while self-righteous pride will flourish within a theology of justification by works, it is destroyed by the doctrine of justification by faith.

Church: Father, forgive my sins.
Forgive the sins that I remember and the ones I have forgotten.
Forgive me for failing in temptation, disobeying your word,
and opposing your correction.
Forgive me for the times I have been prideful and boasted in my works.
Forgive me for the wrong judgments I have made of others,
and for not extending grace to those who repent.
Forgive me for the lies I have told and the truths I have not told.
Forgive me for the pain I have caused others.
I have sinned; I am guilty.
Jesus Christ, you are my only hope.
I look to you, Lord, and trust in you alone.
Spirit of God, work in my heart.
Assurance of Pardon
Pastor: “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”
(Colossians 2:13–14)
