It is through such worship forms that we are reminded of Jesus' atoning work for our sakes. I know that I can't help but ponder each morning Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. [2] The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.To know that in my Baptism God makes me new each day because of Christ should be the center of our lives.

Repentance and forgiveness. Dying and rising. Atonement. That ought to be the shape of the life of the Christian, and that ought to be the shape of the life of the church. Thank you! Excellent, Pat!

Repentance and forgiveness. Dying and rising. Atonement.

That ought to be the shape of the life of the Christian, and that ought to be the shape of the life of the church.

Thank you!
