Nothing Will Separate Me From God's Love

Jesus Is Making The Case For Me

Here is this week's Church Requel podcast.  For those of you who only want to hear the sermon, skip forward to the 13 minute 40 second mark.  If you play the whole thing, you'll hear a description of the tearful entry of a new CR parishioner into our lobby - someone we've been praying a great deal for lately.  You'll also hear the Children's Sermon, "Dirty Windows."

Finally you'll hear the main talk of the evening, "Jesus Is Making The Case For Me." Guilt can actually be a good thing if it leads to confession and repentance. But what if you still feel guilty after God forgives you? This is false guilt, which can lead to anxiety, stress, depression, and feelings of unworthiness. Join me as we study Romans 8:34 and learn how to handle false G.U.I.L.T. Interspersed throughout you'll hear my honest reflections about another great evening at Church Requel last night. Enjoy!

God Is On My Side

God Saves Us

We learn about the 5 Links in God's Plan of Salvation.  We start with the simple children's sermon - simple but filled with truth! Then we put this into the theological language of Romans 8:29-30. Finally Pastor Mark answers 3 questions about God's unconditional election of Christ-followers.
