But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:21-26
Whether you are a life-long Lutheran, are just plain curious about the Church, or you are looking for a community to call home, we invite you to join us as we grow in the life and grace of our ultimate hope, Jesus Christ.
We are a community seeking depth, beauty, and authenticity in our pursuit to live as God’s holy and chosen people. And so, we hold to the Biblical teaching that by His death and resurrection Jesus Christ won forgiveness of sins and eternal life for us and all people. The Church therefore is the people of God assembled around the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His life-giving Sacraments. Every time we gather around His Word and Sacraments, He delivers this forgiveness and life, making us His holy people who love and trust Him above all things, who then can go out and serve, not only those within our own congregation, but YOU, our neighbor in love.
Grace and peace to you,
Rev. Randy K. Asburry
