St Marks Lutheran Church Mt Barker Sermons

These words are the theme of our service today and of the church convention which is meeting in Adelaide in these days. It is based on Ephesians 2:8-10, and on the unity words of Ephesians 4. The very Good News is that through the Holy Spirit we are all baptised into the body of Christ, and saved entirely by grace, as a totally free gift. We are gathered into this one body for a purpose. That purpose is to do the good works of loving God and loving one another. We certainly do not do these Good Works in order to be saved, but as a response to being saved. Jesus calls us to go and live the way of love as we spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, until Jesus comes again. We are called to go until Jesus comes.
