However, Dan teaches that maybe our salvation does not come from praying a prayer, but from what Jesus did on the Cross.

August 13, 2018 00:42 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBThis week was part three in our series about common bad ideas that interfere with people knowing God.

A Day In The Life Of A Disciple - Audio
July 02, 2018 04:36 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBThis week, Pastor Jerry continued discussing the New Covenant, focusing on the disciples. Considering that Jesus "...had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him," according to Isaiah 53:2, it seems unusual that the disciples would drop everything to follow Him. So what was it about Jesus that drew others to Him? Pastor Jerry explores it in this week's message.
The Conclusion - Audio
June 25, 2018 00:45 - 43 minutes - 30 MBThis week, we were blessed to be joined again by Andre Rabe. His topics emphasized how important it is to get other perspectives when coming to conclusions about the Gospel. After all, Jesus Himself offered different views of scripture than many theologians of the day. As Jesus revealed, scripture is often more positive than it may look at first glance.
Sign and Seal of What's Delivered - Audio
June 11, 2018 04:09 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MBThis week, Pastor Jerry continued in his series about the New Covenant. In Romans 4, the Apostle Paul is talking about how the gospel is given by grace and received by faith. His point is that if we are made right with God by trusting God and not by obeying the Law of Moses, then Jews and Gentiles can become one family together. The question is, is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?

What’s Good About Friday? - Audio
March 25, 2018 17:32 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBThis week, Pastor Jerry spoke about Good Friday. Many religions these days focus on what's wrong with us. However, the thing about sin is that it goes much deeper than that. Sin is not just a behavior problem- it is both a relational one and a corrupting one. As a result, the solution to sin must be both relational and healing.
Enemy Love - Audio
March 12, 2018 00:18 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBThis week, Pastor Jerry continued his series on making peace, focusing on our motive. It is important to examine our internal motivations so we can work for peace, reconciliation, and justice for the right reason- love.
