This Sunday, we champion the sanctity of human life. We also celebrate the power of the gospel to deliver us from a world of deception.

 

The prophet got it right: “The human heart is more deceitful than all else” (Jeremiah 17:9). By nature, we resist, twist, and suppress self-evident truths to protect our egos or justify our selfishness. The human heart develops its own ‘cancel culture,’ silencing inconvenient and unpleasant truths, especially the realities of both the righteousness and wrath of God. 

 

The Apostle Paul reminds us in his letter to the Romans: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” (Romans1:18).

 

Suppressing the truth is highly consequential. It leads to self-deception, destructive behaviors, societal deterioration and eternal ruin.

 

The gospel has the power to deliver us from the residual forces that would hold us forever captive to a world of lies.

 

Join us this Sunday as Pastor MacAdam continues to teach from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans: “Vital Truths Ignored and Suppressed” (Romans 1:18).

 

We will also be breaking bread together in remembrance of the only means of our deliverance.
