Genesis 2:16 16 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not *eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die." Romans 3:20 20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law `cometh' the knowledge of sin. because by the works *of the Law *none of mankind will be justified in His sight; for *through the Law [comes] *knowledge of sin. 21 But now apart *from the Law [the] righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the *Law and the Prophets, 22 but [it is the] righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those *who believe; for there is no distinction, 23 for all *have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly as a *propitiation *in His blood through faith. [This was] to demonstrate His righteousness, *because in God's [merciful] restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished; 26 for the demonstration, [that is,] of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who *has faith in Jesus.

In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation. 15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made: In the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah 17 The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol, Even all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever. 19 Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah: Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah and Conflict with the World - Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast From the church website: We subscribe to the Westminster Standards as our doctrinal statement. It consists of the following documents: The Westminster Confession of Faith The Westminster Larger Catechism The Westminster Shorter Catechism We also believe that Christian Worship is to be regulated and defined by God's Word, the Bible. Our worship services are designed to please and honor the Triune God of the Bible. We place Scripture reading and the preaching of the word of God at the center of worship along with Baptism and the Lord's Supper. These are God's gifts to His church and ought to always be at the center of Christian worship. We are a congregation that loves to sing God's praises, recite His Word back to Him, and actively engage in hearing and learning from God's Word. We embrace and promote a comprehensive Christian world and life view. There is no area of life which is not under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is to God and His law which all people, including governments and civil rulers, will answer. The Word of God embraces and informs the way we view marriage, the family, children, education, politics, worship, law, government, war, the church, missions, evangelism, and worship. In the world today there is a battle of opposing worldviews. There are basically only two positions: God's Word and man's ideas. We stand positively for Biblical truth and negatively against man's ideas which are opposed to Biblical truth. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for mankind. Because all men fall short of obeying God's law, all men everywhere are in need of divine grace and salvation from God. This salvation is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ who died for sinners, was buried, rose again, and is alive today seated at God the Father's right hand. We Worship God Together as Families. We offer nursery during the morning worship service for newborns and infants but encourage people to keep as many of their children as they can with them for morning worship. The audio of the service is in the nursery via speakers. There is also a crying room with a video screen and audio of the sermon. We offer Sunday school classes for all ages, but worship together as families. We do not offer "children's" church. All who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and are members of an evangelical church are cordially invited to participate with us in the Lord's Supper. ▶️SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/user/stack45ny ▶️After subscribing, click on NOTIFICATION BELL to be notified of new uploads. ▶️TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RichMoo50267219 ▶️GETTR: https://gettr.com/user/christianty ▶️My WordPress blog: https://sermonsandsongsdotorg.com/ ▶️RUMBLE https://rumble.com/c/c-278901
