Tuesday's Message - Romans 3:21-26

 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:21-26

Video Scavenger Hunt!


The best time of your life!

A video scavenger hunt is this Friday's amazing activity! Tons of fun, and even more fighting, this will blow your hilarious genes. Just kidding about the fighting part.

Where: Meet at the HUB circle, and hunt all over Indiana.

When: 6:45, to break into teams.

What: What is a "video scavenger hunt" you ask?

Here are some of the rules:

-Teams should establish two captains, one being the driver of the vehicle for the team and the other being an Indiana native, or someone knowledgeable of the layout and back streets of Indiana.
-Each team will be given one video camera, 10 sheets of white paper (for 10 tasks), and a sharpie.
-You will work together to complete and film each task.
-The entire team must come to the Wallworks at 8:30p.m. regardless of how many tasks you have yet to attempt
-At approximately 8:40p.m. all of the participants will gather to watch the team videos

The scoring is based on a complex rubric (which each team will be given), and we'll watch the videos at the end of the night (they're usually pretty hilarious).

Here are some sample tasks from past years:

-Film the courthouse clock at exactly 8:12pm
-Carry a teammate through the Oakgrove while humming the "Superman" theme
-At a fast food restaurant, order mayonnaise in your coffee. A team member must then drink it.

Who knows what tasks await us this year!
(Don't worry, your team won't make you do anything you don't want to do)

Questions? Contact Megan W. at dkmn@iup.edu

See you there!

Posers


Here's an excerpt from the text that Joe read on Tuesday...

"So when you, a mere man, pass judgment
on them and yet do the same things, do you
think you will escape God's judgment?"
(Romans 2:3)

The apostle Paul was confronting the Christian "Posers"; people who say they follow Christ but with hearts haven't been changed from the inside-out.

Great news, though! Paul says in a another letter that if we try to get to God by keeping his commandments, we'll fail miserably and come under the curse of God's judgment.

But Paul quickly follows with,

"Christ Redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us."
(Galatians 3:13)

Jesus really died for real sinners who really need to be rescued from the real judgment we really deserve!


Stay posted for some thoughtful questions for application and details on this Sunday's cookout later this week...

Resolved Tonight

We're betting tonight will be the best evening you've had all day.

Come and get your brain full of truth. We get to worship the God who's big enough to create the world, yet loving enough to save sinners like us!

We're back in Delaware room tonight (7pm) and for the rest of the semester. See you there!
