This week we had a powerful testimony from a member of our LFC family, and so Dennis' message was a bit abbreviated as a result. In this, our second week of our new series on Paul's Letter to the Christians in Rome, Pastor Dennis addressed the universal need for redemption - the need to be forgiven of all of the wrongs we have committed against a holy and righteous God. There is a universal principle that will deter us from falling into further sin and guide us toward more righteous living, the act of prioritizing the worship of God over all things. "For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. " Romans 1:21-23
