Theme for the service & sermon

In the Epistle reading today, Paul takes us on a “roller coaster” ride, plunging head-long into death and being pulled out at the last moment…to life!  Before coming to faith, we were dead in trespasses and sins.  But while we were dead and helpless, God made us alive!  Paul writes that God saved us, “being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us.” But we have not simply been made physically well, like the Israelites in the Old Testament Reading, but we have been given eternal life. The central reason is that “by grace you have been saved through faith.” We are His workmanship and in the light of Christ.  Now that’s really living!
