Do God's chosen people get a free pass? Renew Message - ROMANS, Week 4 / Pastor Bartley Sawatsky

Описание: This week, Pastor Bartley Sawatsky continues our series through the book Romans. Our study today focuses in on Romans 2:17-29, as we answer the question, Do God's chosen people get a free pass?

In Romans 2:17-29, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that being a true follower of God is not just about outward rituals or adherence to religious laws, but it involves a transformation of the heart and living in a way that reflects one's faith. In this passage, the Apostle Paul addresses the Jewish people, reminding them that merely having the law or circumcision is not enough to make them righteous before God.

This week's passage teaches that true righteousness before God is not achieved through outward rituals or religious identity but through an inward transformation of the heart, genuine obedience to God's commands, and living in a way that reflects one's faith, which applies to all people, regardless of their background.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Paul’s letter to the church in Rome is widely loved among followers of Jesus as one of the most theologically rich books in the entire Bible. Its themes of salvation, grace and faith have resonated deeply with readers in different times, places and circumstances. As we take a fresh look at the book of Romans for our day, we’ll take our time to journey through the text, ask thoughtful questions and allow it to kindle our faith and love for Jesus.

We meet at 4:00 pm in person every Sunday afternoon at 7755 Tenth Line West, Mississauga. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
