Our Service

SERMON SERIES INTRODUCTION: Ty Gibson writes, “The new-covenant experience is characterized by a liberating sense that I already have God’s acceptance, before I render a single act of obedience to the law, which then creates in me a new power to obey that I’ve never known before. … A Pharisee of Pharisees, Paul experienced the definitive theological epiphany: The glory of the law is superseded by the glory of the living Christ! Paul has made the shift, and he’s urging each of us to make the shift too — “from glory to glory,” from the glory of the law to the glory of the gospel. [From relating to God through the law for salvation to relating to God through Christ for salvation.] When we make that shift, Adventism will finally become the powerful theological revolution God intends it to be. And we’ll know when it’s happening, because when it does, [to quote Ellen White,] “One interest will prevail, one subject will swallow up every other — Christ our righteousness.’" In preparation for the sermon, please read the third chapter, “The Law of God,” in Ty Gibson’s book, “Refresh! Jesus—The Essence of Our Faith”
