Dealing with Sin

Sermon text: Psalm 32 Salvation opens up the avenue to a relationship with the Lord. Sin sullies that relationship and brings the believer grief and sorrow. When sin goes unconfessed, it builds up and makes confession increasingly difficult. But God is gracious to forgive us of our sin when we come to Him in humility.

Just What You Need (James 1:16-18)

Many in our world today are demanding this right or that privilege. People don’t feel that they’re getting what they deserve. Somehow they’re missing out. But the truth of the matter is that God has every single one of us covered. He knows what we need and when we need it. In fact, He knows what we need better than we do.

God’s Go-Live Date (1 Corinthians 15:3-8)

God planned before time began to send Jesus to save the world from sin. The Old Testament both shows how far into sin mankind can go.

Why the Virgin Birth Matters

Both Matthew and Luke record Jesus’ miraculous birth as a settled historical fact. But over the years the reality of the virgin birth has been repeatedly attacked. Pastor Bruce examines the Scriptural evidence for this doctrine, both explicit and implicit. He then gives reasons why believing in the virgin birth is important to our faith.

Full Assurance (Hebrews 10:19-25)

Ryan Joseph describes the powerful connection between having full assurance of salvation and being on mission for Christ. Those who trust Jesus as the Lord and Savior have access to His holiness and hope for the future. We can draw near to Him without fear of rejection or condemnation. The boldness with which we can approach Jesus should translate into boldness in telling others about Him.
