White Flag

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 - January 7, 2024

Can people be good without being religious?

Romans 4:13-25 is a passage from the New Testament of the Bible, written by the Apostle Paul. In this passage, Paul discusses the concept of faith and righteousness in the context of the covenant that God made with Abraham. He emphasizes that Abraham's righteousness came through faith in God's promise, not through adherence to the law. Paul argues that faith is the key to receiving God's grace and righteousness, and it is not dependent on human works or adherence to religious laws. He uses Abraham as an example of someone who believed in God's promises, and his faith was credited to him as righteousness. Paul underscores the universal nature of this principle, asserting that faith is the means by which both Jews and Gentiles can receive God's righteousness. Overall, the passage highlights the centrality of faith in God's promises for justification and righteousness.

Scripture References: Romans 4:13-25, Revelation 5:11-12
