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.

The Just God
How can a person be right with God? How can the guilty be forgiven? How can a sinner be saved from just punishment? These are the arresting thoughts of a conscience attuned to reality. These were the thoughts that dominated Martin Luther. His agonizing fear of just punishment for his sins by an uncompromisingly righteous God served to magnify the unspeakable delight of the gospel that he came to understand through the Scriptures. This session focuses primarily on the agony of Luther that stemmed from the medieval corruptions of the gospel.
