Welcome to the Prime Timers A.B.F.

You are invited to join the Prime Timers every Sunday in the Payne Education center, second floor, rooms 210-212 from 10:10 am until 10:50 am. This is a good time to jump in, as our program from the National Council of Churches is beginning a new quarter entitled, "Making Effective Christians". The first part of this is "Saved by God".

The Lesson for Sunday, March 6 is titled "None is Righteous"

Key Verse:  Romans 3:10

Focus of the Lesson:  People often find themselves doing something hurtful to themselves or others, despite their best intentions to "be a good person." Why do we keep doing things we know we shouldn't, especially when we want to do good? Paul explains that we are sinful by nature.

The reading is Romans 1:16-20, 3:9-20. This text is from the New Revised Standard Version.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, ‘The one who is righteous will live by faith.’

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness of those who by their wickedness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse;

Romans 3:9-20

9 What then? Are we any better off? No, not at all; for we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin, 10 as it is written:

‘There is no one who is righteous, not even one;

11 there is no one who has understanding,
        there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned aside, together they have
        become worthless;
    there is no one who shows kindness,
        there is not even one.’
13  ‘Their throats are opened graves;
        they use their tongues to deceive.’
      ‘The venom of vipers is under their lips.’
14  ‘Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.’
15  ‘Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16      ruin and misery are in their paths,
17      and the way of peace they have not known.’
18  ‘There is no fear of God before their eyes.’

19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For ‘no human being will be justified in his sight’ by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
