    Good Friday: God knew ahead of time that He would – and must – sacrifice His one and only Son in order to atone for the sins that separate people from Him. In Genesis chapter 22, we see a glimpse into the future of God’s plan of salvation.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “A Foreshadowing Sacrifice,” which indicates that we’re going to be looking at something foretold long before it happened. I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing something out of the book of Acts. In Acts 8:31-35, we find the account of Philip ...read more

    As we try to put ourselves into a position to be able to share the gospel with others, there are few things that will get their attention more than self-sacrifice.

    A. Self-sacrifice. A word we are not too familiar with, right? 1. Certainly, we understand its meaning. It is not too hard to define, but it is hard to embrace and embody. Wouldn’t you agree? 2. And yet when we witness self-sacrifice, we are drawn to it. We are amazed by it. 3. Sacrifice ...read more

    Although some my consider salvation free, it came at a high personal sacrifice to the Father.

    THE PERSONAL SACRIFICE OF THE FATHER 3/05 John 3:16 I hear many times and even have said it myself that “Salvation is free, ” but I am concerned this statement can be a little misleading.
