God's Grace Through Faith

July 21, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs

Give

The sin of humanity gave evil a foothold in the world that has been stealing, killing and destroying everything good since Adam and Eve’s fateful decision to disobey God. Although yearly sacrifices were required since then, Jesus Christ the Messiah came and offered Himself as a once-and-forever sacrifice to wash us clean of our sins, to pay the penalty for us, and to give us new hearts through His Holy Spirit. Our new hearts empower us by faith through grace to be free to walk in a new life with our new Lord.

Water Baptism

October 13, 2024

If you go to Israel and explore the ancient sites where Jesus lived, you'll discover the biblical practice of ritual bathing, where men and women cleansed themselves of physical dirt and spiritual impurities. Jesus and his disciples preached repentance and encouraged baptism as a symbol of spiritual renewal. In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His disciples to spread His teachings to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This call to discipleship resonates with us today, urging us to live out our faith boldly and inspire our family and friends to follow without hesitation or shame. Let us embrace this mission with courage, reflecting the light of Christ in all we do.

The Evidence of True Repentance

October 6, 2024

When God acts, people can either choose to align with Him or oppose Him. The phrase "a move of God" typically suggests a positive response, as seen when individuals repent and turn towards God, demonstrated by their actions. This doesn’t guarantee an easy path or immunity from spiritual warfare, but Scripture assures us that those who remain steadfast will witness God's salvation and experience an undeniable victory.

Repentance: Turning Away From Sin

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs • Luke 19:1–10

The word “repentance” often conjures up daunting images of people with signs proclaiming, “Repent, for the end is near!” But in reality, repentance is a beacon of hope. It means to turn around. No matter how difficult things have become or how distant you may feel from God, when you repent or turn back to Him, you immediately encounter His love and mercy, ready to welcome you with open arms like the father of the prodigal son. And since authentic believers are an extension of the heart of God, you may find yourself feeling less distant from your brothers and sisters in Christ, too.
