    With American society becoming more pluralistic, it is ever more important for believers to understand the simplicity of the gospel. This message explains what the gospel is and the three phases of salvation: justification, sanctification & glorification.

    Romans 1:15-16 5-24-15 Our text this morning is Rom 1:15-16. In that passage Paul says, “So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the ...read more

    Can You Be Threatened?

    Many in the Body of Christ are living in compromise. They are allowing the world to dictate what they will and will not believe about the Bible. How does this happen? Peter and John's confrontation with the religious leaders in Acts 4 shows us how.

    I was thinking about Bro. Alain’s message this morning and what saddens me so much is how much of the Body of Christ is living in compromise and we don’t even realize it. And I thought about a Republican senator here in Ohio who came out strong and hard against homosexuality. He came out strong and ...read more

    This is where we are as a church. This morning I want to look at their motivation, their mission, and the means to accomplish it.

    Background to passage: Pentecost, lame man and preaching on Solomon’s portico; now it gets real - Sadducees, rulers of the people, temple guards, priests, scribes, elders, a night in jail.

    We are going to see 3 things about the early church; first they got fed-up with the world, then they got filled-up with the Spirit, and then they got fired-up to witness.

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    When Jesus told us we needed to tell others about our faith in Him, did He leave us to do it all by ourselves? Or does God help us when we witness?

    About 350 years before Christ was born in Bethlehem, there was a man they called Alexander the Great. Over a period of 15 years Alexander the Great was in almost constant warfare and conquered most of known world. He never defended a walled city, almost always met his enemy in the open field, and ...read more

    Hinduism, Sikh, Islam and Christianity. Are these all just different ways to get to God? How do we get to God? This morning, we look at what God's Word has to say on the topic, and what Jesus means when He says, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

    . I rarely go off our lessons and get distracted by Current Events when it comes to my preaching. However, something happened this week which I thought really gives us the opportunity to discuss something very basic but essential about our Christian faith.

    If what Peter and John and the others claim is true, what will happen to the religious establishment? They'll have to kill the movement to survive themselves.
