The Relationship of Rules and Relationships

by Pastor Serven ~ March 5th, 2009. Filed under: Sermons.

What is the relationship between rules and relationships? Between law and love? Love, joy, peace, longsuffering are more important than the nitty gritty of theological precision. A son chopping logs for his father. To give rule, you have to have relationship. Relationships drive specificity. You have to earn a passport to speak into a person’s life.

Text: Gal 4:21-31
Guest Preacher: Pastor Kevin Swanson

Welcome! Thanks for visiting our website. We minister to families and individuals in the greater St. Louis region. Our vision is to be a faithful, loving, and mature Reformed & Presbyterian Church centered on Jesus Christ and his gospel. We promote family discipleship within our church families and practice family-integration in all of our church activities. All are welcome to visit with us!

Core Beliefs: These seven "rallying cries" arise from the writings of the Protestant Reformers. They nicely summarize what the Bible teaches regarding the doctrine of salvation and the Christian life...
- “By Christ Alone” (Solus Christus)
- “By Grace Alone” (Sola Gratia)
- “By Faith Alone” (Sola Fide)
- “Scripture Alone" (Sola Scriptura)
- “Glory to God Alone” (Soli Deo Gloria)
- "Living Before the Face of God" (Coram Deo)
- "After Darkness, Light" (Post Tenebrus Lux)

Worship Times: Please join us for worship on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-3:15 PM.

Fellowship Meals: Following our worship service we have a full dinner on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 3:30-5:00 PM. All are welcome to attend as our guests.

Sermon Series: Pastor Marcus Serven is currently preaching verse by verse through the Paul's Letter to the Romans.

Verse of the Month: “But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’ that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

Hymn of the Month: Trinity Hymnal #556 “Though Yours Sins Be as Scarlet”. This fine hymn extols the atoning work of our Lord on the Cross for the sake of his people. It speaks to our present reality and our future hope—that our sins are forgiven through the blood of Jesus Christ (cf. Isaiah 1:18; Hebrews 9:11-14; 1 John 1:7).
