2 Corinthians 5:16-21 | Christians Need the Gospel Too

May 28, 2012 – 8:30 pm

Most churches today don’t preach the Gospel. They may tell you that you can accept Jesus into your heart but that is not the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news ABOUT Jesus Christ and His work. These churches typically think that Christians know the Gospel so they can move onto other things. Nonsense. Paul […]

2 Corinthians 5:1-10 | Final judgment for Christians

May 14, 2012 – 5:34 pm

Most Christians are confused about faith and works in this life and how they have a bearing in the final judgment. If you are confused about faith and works and confused about the Gospel then there is no comfort now or on the Final Day.

Deut. 6:4-9; Proverbs 1:1-7; Eph. 6:1-4

May 14, 2012 – 5:31 pm

According to the latest research with respect to what youth believe across denominations, if parents don’t catechize their kids then the kids will hold to a belief system called “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism.” If you don’t think that sounds good, you’re right. This sermon will cover why parents MUST catechize their kids and how. Scripture Lesson: […]

Acts 2:38-39 | Covenant Kids

May 8, 2012 – 9:22 pm

This sermon treats the subject of how we should consider our infants and very young children before they actually profess faith in Christ. Hint: we don’t treat them like the Baptists treat their infants and very young children before they profess faith in Christ. This has everything to do with understanding the Covenant of Grace. […]

Ephesians 5:15-6:9 | Raising Christian kids

May 1, 2012 – 8:52 pm

The statistics on how well our kids will turn out as Christians are grim. One statistic states that three out four of our youth will ditch the faith at some point – three out of four! What do we do?
