'We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ' " (Galatians 2:15-16).

To be "justified" means that God has declared us not guilty. We cannot earn that verdict by being good enough, following enough rules, or belonging to the right group. God declares sinners not guilty through faith in Jesus Christ.

That’s what we call "the gospel." The gospel is the good news of Jesus’ free forgiveness, and we use the gospel to win others over to Jesus. We will never win people over by only pointing a finger at them. God calls us to point out sin truthfully and then point sinners to Jesus. The Holy Spirit works through God’s Word to lead people to repentance and strengthen their faith.

Prayer: Lord, make me strong enough to overcome peer pressure and to stand firm in your Word. But also make me gentle when I speak to others about sin. Above all, help me point them to the forgiveness Jesus freely gives. Amen.

The gospel is the good news of Jesus’ free forgiveness....

Today’s Reflection:

Rainy days remind us that storms are part of the journey, but they are never the end of the story. Even when the skies are dark, Jesus calls us to hold on to hope and trust in His promises.

The rain may fall today, but brighter days will come. Just as the clouds eventually give way to sunshine, God can turn our seasons of sorrow into seasons of joy. ❤️✝️

We are very thankful for the many prayers and words of support for Pastor Chester as he has received a colon cancer diagnosis.

If you are looking for updates, you can find them here: https://www.stpaulcalgary.org/blog

We will continue to gather as a church to pray and worship every Sunday. For the rest of August, we will have guest preachers from our sister churches in Vancouver, Red Deer, and Calgary.

Pastor Chester will be back with us and preaching in September, God-willing.

If you have questions about how the church will handle upcoming seasons of medical care for Pastor, or need to speak with an elder this week, please contact Byron, Marcus, or Joey.
