“Slaves to Righteousness”

CHAIRMAN: ALEC CHENG
SPEAKER: PASTOR IAIN DAVIS
SCRIPTURES: ROMANS 6:15-23

Sermon Notes:

• We have two options in life:
  • To be a slave to Sin : sinning habitually
  • Or to be a slave to God: obeying habitually
• When we were slaves to sin, we are free from Righteousness, our fruit was shame leading to death.
• When we are free from Sin, we are slaves to God, and our fruit is sanctification leading to Eternal life

Offering:

^“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

- Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

PGC needs sufficient capital every year for development of church ministries. Encourage b/s to make financial offering based on bible's teaching  & God's provision.
