Jesus met a lawyer trying to justify himself as being good enough for heaven. This message looks at two standards: Our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is the Law; and our standard of justification, which is Jesus.

I’ve entitled our message this evening “The Standard of Justification.” So, what is the standard by which we are justified before God and made free to enter heaven when we die? There are actually two standards that we’ll discover: One is our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is ...read more

Worship On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Worship is so much more than singing a song, the style of music, or our even own preferences; it’s about our heart-attitude before God. There are many elements to worship; but they all serve to honor and glorify God and edify others.

This morning, we’re going to continue our series on the five purposes of the church by looking at worship. In the song “The Heart of Worship,” Matt Redman sings, “I’ll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, through the way ...read more
