Short sermon from our baptism service on July 27, 2025.

We had our first worship gathering in our new building and it was packed! The sermon today was about our awe of God. Do we still have it? Did we ever have it? Proper awe in God is vital to walking in joy with the Lord. Take a listen!

Today we spoke about baptism and how salvation coincides with it. We looked at verses in the Bible that seem to assume that baptism is salvific and required to be saved. This however contradicts with the foundational element of grace in the Gospel message. We unpack a few of these verses and talk about the beauty of baptism and what it truly signifies.

Today we unpacked what it means to have the mind of Christ. This does not mean that we are able to just “take hardships”, but rejoice in the midst of them! 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 was the selected passage. Open your Bibles and follow along.

Today we closed out our “No Other Gospel” Book of Galatians Sermon Series, covering chapter 6. Open up your Bibles and follow along!

We entered our 7th week of the “No Other Gospel” Book of Galatians Sermon Series, unpacking Galatians 5! Open your Bibles and follow along.

We continued our No Other Gospel Book of Galatians Series by closing out chapter 4 with some expounding on our “wilderness” time we will find ourselves in. This time is not “aimless” but by divine appointment.

Pastor Josh wants to make sure he holds true to the proper teaching of God’s word, and in speaking and preaching can “slip up” because his brain has not caught up with his mouth. See below some notes corrections he wanted to point out:

*At the 8:25 minute mark Pastor Josh was referencing Numbers 20:10. Moses was prevented from entering the promise land because he disobeyed God by not speaking to the Rock along with striking it twice.

*At the 23:30 minute mark, Sarah waited 25 years to have Isaac after God said she would give birth to a child. Pastor Josh in error said 20 years.

*At the 24:45 minute mark Pastor Josh in error said “Heavenly Father” being sinful when he meant to say “earthly father”.

Today we covered Galatians 4:8-20 as we continue our No Other Gospel Sermon Series. Open your Bibles and follow along!
