October 12, 2025 • Elder Bryce Lowrance & Brother Jonah Lowrance

Elder Bryce Lowrance • "The Compassion of Christ" - Matthew 12 & Isaiah 42. In a deep display of compassion toward a man whose hand had withered, Jesus shows that He is the Messiah and that nothing will discourage Him from His mission as the chosen Mediator between God and the elect family. As certain as His ability to heal, Jesus was a successful Savior and finished the work. We can take this good news of eternal salvation and remember that when we are broken down or fading away that we are cast down but not destroyed. Brother Jonah Lowrance • "In Adam & In Christ" - Romans 5. In this chapter, the Apostle Paul argues that all mankind was represented in Adam. Therefore, when Adam sinned, his guilt was charged to us all. In a similar way, Jesus Christ is the representative for all the elect of God. His righteous is counted to them. We did nothing to gain the guilt of Adam, and we do nothing to gain the righteousness of Jesus Christ. They are both imputed to us. But thanks be to God that the imputation of Jesus' righteous not only cancels out the guilt of original sin, it takes sin and guilt completely out of the way and we are seen as righteous before a holy God. These messages were preached on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
