2 Church At Study 9:40am, Sanctuary Presented by Elder John Olive Prelude Church At Worship 11:00am Musicians Scripture Reading and Prayer Introit Immediately Praise Team/Participants Church at Study Invocation Elder Donald Cobbs Closing Prayer Memory Text: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us for it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree (Galatians 3:13, ESV). Thoughts to Ponder: From start to finish in the Christian life, the basis of our salvation is faith in Christ alone. It was because of Abraham s faith in God s promises that he was counted as righteous, and that same gift of righteousness is available for anyone today who shares Abraham s faith. The only reason we are not condemned for our mistakes is that Jesus paid the price for our sins by dying in our place. We are, in a sense, twice the Lord s. He created us, and we got into the devil s pawnshop. Then Jesus came and bought us at awful cost not silver and gold, but His precious blood. We are the Lord s by creation and by redemption.
