Romans 3:27-4:8 - Boasting vs. Faith Part II (8-20-23)

Hold fast to the standards of God-  Seek Jesus -  2 Chronicles 7:14
Seek God to be your King not men.

10 19 2023 Pastor Paul Interview -Michael- Holy Land Chaos- Zechariah 9 - 5

Revelation 20 - Satan removed from influencing the world for a thousand years.  When Satan is removed, there is no practicing of evil.
At what point do you actually believe and begin to walk in that belief?  Not one person should be left unarmed in the Word...and be stagnant.  
The World gives us images of Scripture that are not truth...they influence our beliefs.  Remove the pictures planted by the world and see what the Word of God says.
When you voluntarily enter into darkness, you will be going against Christ.  Do everything in your power to not alter the Scriptures.

11 17 2023  The Worlds Imagery Versus The Word Of God

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, December 3, 2023

In the wake of an exposition of humanity’s sin problem presented in most of the first 3 chapter of Romans, Pastor Steve transitions to the Good News of God’s cure for our universal sickness. From Romans 3:21-31 we learn 3 important features Paul shares of the remedy for human depravity—the righteousness of God through faith in Christ that reaches all who believe, removes all boasting, and reinforces the Law. Before Steve’s message, Bob Short offers a prayer for Aaron and Kara Jones, who are preparing to move south. Mackenzie and Jesse South close the service with scripture reading for week 1 of Advent.

The Cure for What Ails Us - Romans 3:21-31

Go Ahead and Boast!

There is no reason why any person should be boasting or making anybody feel bad, because what you have is not worth boasting about unless it comes from the Lord. If I am going to boast I am boasting in the Lord in his salvation and his righteousness. I am realizing I am nothing without God. I am just a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

 
Romans 2:11-13 says There are no special privileges, meaning there is no respect for persons with God.
 For as many as have sinned without law, meaning (without the word of God) shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law, meaning (with the word God) shall be judged by the law; meaning the word of God. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Meaning living in obedience to Abraham's faith.

So what are you boasting about? I am talking to individuals who like to boast. Your accomplishments and accolades, formality living in your power and control to make someone else feel lower than yourself in this world. This is wrong to do because love does not boast.
