The Gospel of Salvation

January 7, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Romans 3:21–26

In this Sunday’s teaching, Greg teaches from Romans 3. These verses show us how God saves us. Up until this point in Romans, Paul has been emphasizing how lost, and condemned humanity is. But, these verses show us that working harder is not what brings us salvation. We must accept the gift given freely to us by Christ's death on the cross. Through His death, we are made righteous, justified, and redeemed.

By Grace

September 1, 2024 • Greg Pinkner • Ephesians 2:1–10

This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from Ephesians 2:1-10, addressing that believers are no longer identified by their previous cultural or religious identities but as one in Christ. We all were spiritually dead in our sins and were living according to worldly desires. But our salvation has come through God's grace and mercy, not by our effort or merit, to demonstrate God's love even when we were "children of wrath." As believers, we need to live in obedience to God’s prepared works, reflecting the new life they have received in Christ.

He Waits, He Weeps, He Wins

June 2, 2024 • Devon Accardi • John 11:1–44

This week, Devon Accardi teaches our Gospel Sunday message, looking at the story of Lazarus from John 11. In these verses, Jesus has three movements toward the heart of His people: He waits, He weeps, and He wins. In these movements, we see that at the heart of the Gospel is the heart of our God.

He Came at Night

January 1, 2023 • Greg Pinkner • John 3:1–15

This Sunday, Gospel Sunday, Greg teaches from John 3. These verses show us that becoming a Christian is being born as a spiritual being, being born into a life with God. We don't become believers by fixing the things that are wrong with us. We become believers by knowing we need someone better than us to save us.
