Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

“We deceive ourselves if we believe that we can either minimize or eliminate the reality of sin simply by ignoring it or changing its name.”
-- Daniel Akin, A Theology for the Church

NOTES:

1) ALL humanity is sinful.


2) ALL sin demands judgment.


3) It is a heresy to believe that we can save ourselves.


4) Only by God's grace in Christ can we be saved.

“If humans are creatures made in God’s image, then they are made to reflect that image to God, others, and creation. People would be judged not in comparison with other people but by their conformity to God’s divine intentions and the manner in which they reflect His image.”

-- Daniel Akin, A Theology for the Church

TAKE IT HOME:

Discuss this as a family this week:
-- Do you think people are basically good?
-- Does God have different levels of sin, and does some sin not have to be judged or forgiven?
-- What is the difference between how certain kinds of sin impact our neighbor versus how they impact our relationship with God?
-- Can you name a time when you missed a target or something you aimed at?
-- Do good people need a Savior? Why or why not?
