Paying for the Sins of the King
9 June 2024
Is sin really so bad? Does our sin really matter for others? And if it’s so bad, what hope do we have? This week we see from 2 Samuel 13-16 that sin ALWAYS has disastrous consequences for us and for others, and leaves us longing for a better king who truly can save us.
Passage: 2 Samuel 13-16

Imputation – Jesus’ Righteousness is Mine

Starting over with a clean slate is a wonderful thing. But the problem with a clean slate is that you can mess it up again pretty quick! When it comes to our relationship with God we need something better than a clean slate… This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Imputation – Jesus’ Righteousness is Mine. We are going to see from Philippians 3:1-11 that God counts us as righteous in Jesus through faith, not through anything we do.

Passage: Philippians 3:1-11

Justification – Just like we never sinned

Justification can feel like a negative word. Afterall, people are always trying to justify themselves. But for Christians, justification is a beautiful word. Justification is what God has done for us through his Son Jesus. This week we see from Romans 4 that it is not we who justifies ourselves, but God who justifies us through faith. Knowing that we are justified by faith we are free to admit our mistakes, trusting in God who justifies us by faith in Christ.

Passage: Romans 4

Propitiation – God’s Anger Turned Away

It’s an awful feeling when someone is angry with you. It’s even worse when you deserve it. But what can we do if God is angry with us and we deserve it? This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Propitiation – God’s Anger Turned Away. We are going to see from Romans 3:21-26 that God’s anger towards us in our sin is completely turned away by Jesus’ death so that we can enjoy God’s love.
