Sermon Notes – 1 Chronicles 11:4-9

From Rags to Righteousness – When God Chose Jerusalem.....and SinnersPastor Tim JohnsonPrayer and Scripture- Elder John McCully

Isaiah 64:6 (ESV)“We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.”

MEMORY VERSE:

Digging Deeper:

1. Why should contemporary events in the nation of Israel, and in Jerusalem in particular, concern you?2. What one thing most impacted you from the sermon?3. Can you distinguish between the righteousness that does not save sinners, and the righteousness that does save sinners?
