For 40 days leading up to Easter, Renew Church is going to participate in a "season of surrender." Jesus once said "if you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it." Over 8 weeks, we'll uncover exactly what Jesus meant by examining his teaching and the example he lived out that took him to the cross. Alongside our series, we'll also participate in some new twists on popular Lent traditions and spiritual disciplines including Lenten sacrifice, online daily devotions, virtual prayer meetings and more! Check out the videos below for more details, and download our calendar and reading plan:
Pastor Bartley Sawatsky - April 7, 2024
Are Jews & Gentiles Accepted by God on the Same Basis?
Romans 10:5-21 illustrates that God's acceptance and salvation are not contingent upon ethnicity but are accessible to all through faith in Christ. This passage emphasizes the universal nature of God's invitation to righteousness, stating that belief in Christ is the common pathway to salvation for both Jews and Gentiles. Through the proclamation of the gospel, God extends His offer of redemption to people from every background, showcasing His impartiality and boundless grace. Pastor Bartley underscores the significance of spreading this inclusive message, affirming that God's love transcends cultural boundaries and welcomes all who believe in Him.
Scripture References: Romans 10:5-21, Acts 17:31, Mark 8:38, Matthew 10:37, John 20:30-31, Deuteronomy 30:11-14, Leviticus 18:5
