“Tear Up Your Scorecard” - 5pm The River Service
This sermon teaches that the heart of God's commandments is love—loving God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and loving our neighbors as ourselves—rather than measuring our righteousness through religious rule-keeping, comparisons, or personal achievements.Drawing from Matthew 22, it reveals that God's law demands a perfect love we cannot produce on our own, exposing our need for Jesus Christ, the divine Messiah who willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross to give us the righteousness we could never earn. Ultimately, the sermon challenges believers to tear up their spiritual scorecards, release the guilt and shame of trying to justify themselves, and embrace God's unconditional love, recognizing that true obedience and genuine love for others flow not from our own efforts, but from first allowing ourselves to be loved and transformed by Jesus Christ.
