Sunday Sermon: Theology 101: Justification

Justification is far from a household word, but it’s one of the more important concepts in Christian theology. Where justification is not understood—and felt—we embark on projects of self-justification that alienate us from God and make it difficult to hear the message of the Gospel. We will read Romans 3:23-28 and discover how the doctrine of justification can shape our faith and lives in helpful and healthy ways. Sermon delivered by the Reverend Dr. Steve Haynes, Idlewild’s Theologian in Residence, on June 23, 2024.
