Romans 1:16-17 | Don’t be ashamed of the gospel!

Rev. John Sawtelle — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 13:20:34 +0000

Paul explains why he is eager to preach the gospel, giving two distinct reasons: one, it is the power of God to salvation; and two, in it, justifying righteousness is held out to sinners.

Philippians 4:1-3 | What can we learn from two quarreling women?

Rev. John Sawtelle — Fri, 30 May 2008 00:52:35 +0000

As Paul moves to apply sound doctrine to Christian life, he points us to a quarrel between two prominent Christian women and admonishes us to resolve relationship problems through prudent means, in order to promote the cause of the gospel.

Philippians 2:14-18 | Prove your sonship

Rev. John Sawtelle — Fri, 23 May 2008 22:26:33 +0000

Paul argues that by living blamelessly and holding fast to the word of life, you are living as a missionary.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | The Gospel Creates the Church

Through the Gospel God establishes particular churches that glorify God by serving Him.

Old Testament Text: Psalm 115

Matthew 28:16-20 | Reformed Evangelism

Rev. Tom Morrison — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:05:08 +0000

We argue that the Reformed have the strongest view of evangelism because it is the most biblical view. The church does evangelism through the preaching of the Gospel and Christian discipline. As the Heidelberg Catechism says, “by these two the kingdom of heaven is opened to belivers and shut against unbelivers” (question and answer 83). The keys of the Kingdom of Heaven were given to the church by Jesus (cf. Matt. 16, 18 and John 20). Members of churches may invite unbelievers to church to hear the Word preached.

This message explores the meaning and redemptive roots of morally excellent behavior, then offers several specific applications for how to apply this tactic at the local church level.
