Missing the True Gospel

October 1, 2023 • David Conley • Mark 1:14–15, Mark 10

The rich young ruler introduced in Mark chapter 10 is a powerful example of the importance of repentance, belief, and total surrender to God. His story serves as a reminder of the significance of faith, the promise of heavenly treasure and the transformative power of the gospel in shaping hearts and lives.

Political Christianity

Today’s message delves into the intersection of faith and politics, urging Christians to distinguish false faith amidst societal influences, especially in light of the upcoming election. We must stay rooted in scripture and prioritize the gospel over national allegiances in order to be faithful representatives in society; spreading the gospel message even in the midst of divisions and challenges.
