God’s rock-solid legal counsel says: No one is than another regarding the law. The of evidence for our guilt is indefensible. Legal, social, and religious reason calls for “pleading the of Jesus.” Justice is fully served thru the and fulfillment of the law. Applying God's Word to Life What have been some of your experiences with the court of law? When have you felt the weight of the law upon you? Explain? What are things we like to admit as evidence to prove we have a better case than others? For you personally, which parts of the “body of evidence” are the most convincing for a guilty verdict? When and why have you felt your guilt before God’s court of law? How impacted are you by the concepts of justification, redemption, and propitiation as they relate to you? What are the implications of getting justice, mercy, or grace? How is all this “good news” of “the righteousness of God”? What keeps people from accepting God’s counsel on these matters? How does God want to you to believe or live differently as a result of His counsel to you today? How then, do you plead? _______________________________________________ Announcements Baccalaureate at Minnewaska Area High School: Wednesday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. Breaker Rock Beach VBS Registration Now Open: Hope Community and First Baptist are teaming up again to provide an awesome VBS experience for 3 year olds—entering 5th grade on June 17-20 from 9:00-11:30 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Glenwood.
