“No Condemnation”

CHAIRMAN: JOHNATHAN TANG
SPEAKER: PASTOR PETE NOJD
SCRIPTURES: ROMANS 8:1-4

Sermon Notes:

1. We must be honest with ourselves before God if we are to accept the Gospel

2. We must allow God to be God and humbly accept His good news as He has given it

3. We now live by the Spirit as ambassadors to a broken world

Discussion Questions: 

1. Can you identify with Paul's "inner war" in Romans 7?
2. Do you struggle to accept God's mercy and forgiveness?
3. How can I (self) and our church express this good news to our neighbors?

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.
