We are a forgetful people in a land of distractions. Our minds are easily captivated by trivial and temporary inducements. New things quickly become old. In our mind’s eye even glory tends to fade and warnings tend to wane. It is no wonder that we who are invisibly united to Christ and visibly in and not of this world live in constant need of renewal. And what is true for the Christian is true for the church. This is a series that seeks to renew the mind of the church. Not so much by reviewing what she is called to do as much as what she is called. As with the Christian so with church, her God-given identity defines her. We who are the church are a people for God and none other.
Before we return to the book of Romans, we will be looking at the what scripture says about the Church, in its nature, how she expresses herself in song, and how the church cares and equips for its members.

Christ Alone
Solus Christus is a Latin phrase that means Christ alone. It was used by the Reformers of the sixteenth century to contend that sacred Scripture reveals that salvation is found in and through Christ and Christ alone. No cooperation. No contribution. No competition. There is no other way to be redeemed except through the one and only Christ and Him crucified. This is the most offensive of all the solas. The exclusivity of Christ has always been an affront to our pluralistic world, but never quite as it is in our day. This message considers Christ’s own claim and unfolds its ground and glory. Timeless and practically relevant, for God’s glory and man’s joy.
