The Gospel In Life Grace Changes Everything / Tim Keller

Our church began a new 16-week class during  the Sunday School hour last week titled The Gospel in Life / Grace Changes Everything.  The way this class is structured, we first meet in our shepherd groups (each elder meets with their flock for prayer), then we view a brief video presentation by  Dr. Tim Keller, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian  Church in New York City.  

SESSION 2 : HEART THREE WAYS TO LIVE 

 (SEPT. 19 AND 26)  

In Session 2 we look at the parable of the two lost sons in Luke 15. We conclude that there are three ways to relate to God—irreligion, religion, and the gospel. The irreligious don’t repent at all. The religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of both their sins and the reasons for their righteousness. The gospel is  something entirely different from religion and irreligion. Only the gospel has the power to transform our hearts.

Then we regroup in our small groups again and discuss the video.  We are taking two weeks for each session in case folks have to miss one or the other.     Check it out or come join us on Sunday morning, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
