WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY will meet November 19th at 7 pm for the study “Walking by Faith, Not by Sight.” “We walk by faith, not by sight” - 2 Corinthians 5:7. Faith asks us to cling to God’s promise despite evidence to the contrary. It believes that even if the promise is not fulfilled in our mortal walk, it will be fulfilled in God’s time and in the world to come and the new life promised through Christ. Session Three – The Christian is a Saint - Holiness
It is true that people who keep the law and teach others to do the same are helping society. This obedience does help us live in safety, but it cannot save us from our sin. Whenever the motive for obedience is to make ourselves greater or more righteous in the sight of God, the sin of pride is asserting itself. When obedience is self-focused, then our neighbor is being used as a means to an end. We are no longer loving and serving someone for their sake, but for our own. Jesus was clear - those who act this way will be exposed as whitewashed tombs. Despite all of our sins, despite the self-righteousness of our good works, God still promises to scrub the walls of our whitewashed tombs truly clean, making us not hypocrites but saints through His power. The reality of that sainthood is held within faith, not sight.

Christ Lutheran Church Welcomes YOU
On behalf of the entire congregation here at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Reese, Michigan we want to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website. We are a church that believes in the life changing power of Jesus Christ, and do our best to share His love both at church and in our community we are privileged to serve.
If you are looking for a “perfect church,” then I encourage you to click away quickly because we’re not that church, yet we are doing our best to become more like our Lord and Savior every single day. Sometimes we fail, but we believe in learning from those failures and moving forward in faith and victory!
We want to encourage you to take a look at the various links on our site and become acquainted with us, and then join us for worship services!
We like to call our website our “Online Visitor’s Packet” because it’s such a great way for prospective guests to see what we’re all about before actually walking through the doors!
Lives are being changed here at Christ Lutheran Church, and it’s to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ! We are all different, and while we have distinctive needs and situations in our lives, we believe He is more than up to the task of meeting those needs!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our online contact information, or give us a call at the church at 989-868-3281 and we will do our best to answer your question(s)!
I want to encourage you to put the Lord first in your life and see what God can do through you! Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
May you have a blessed pilgrimage with Christ serving His creation.
