Sunday Worship Experience - 10/20/2024
In Pastor Randy's sermon, he emphasizes God's design for humanity and the profound gift of free will, reminding the congregation that they don’t just have to obey laws but get to choose to live a life of faith. He highlights the significance of the Ten Commandments, which serve as foundational moral laws meant to reveal our need for a Savior due to our sinful nature. The pastor explains that Jesus is the bridge that connects believers to God, allowing them to boldly approach the throne. Pastor Randy passionately conveys the message that salvation comes not from works but through grace and faith in Christ, urging believers not to take advantage of God's grace but to use it as a catalyst for righteous living. He addresses the misconception that grace gives a license to sin, citing the Apostle Paul's teachings that believers should not continue in sin simply because grace abounds. Instead, he encourages them to recognize the importance of obedience to God’s commands. Pastor Randy concludes by underscoring that God’s commandments are there for everyone’s good, not as a checklist to follow, but as a path to a fulfilling life guided by love, faith, and thankfulness. He challenges the congregation to reflect on their own obedience and the transformative power of choosing to follow God's ways, reminding them that they get to serve, pray, and live in accordance with God’s will.
