Pastor Whitehouse preached the concluding portion of his sermon titled “Simple Faith in Christ” based on Galatians 2: 15-21. It was a powerful message in which he reiterated that the “Law” cannot provide eternal life. It is a healthy thing to admit your sin and then to find a “new life”. Christ transforms us from the inside out. Then, through Grace, Christ lives within our heart.
