If God could bring life from a barren womb, he could bring life from a virgin womb.  Nothing was impossible for him.  Nothing was beyond his reach.  Everything was under his purview. 

Luke begins with a story that leaves us with a choice. "Will we believe God and His Word or not?"

It doesn’t take much for us to wander away into more man-centered plans of salvation that all make more of us and our ability and less of our sin, less of our need, and less of Christ.  So, we need to be reminded on a regular basis that this redemptive plan is true.  So, we are going to study the Gospel of Luke, because this is exactly why he wrote it.

The Gospel was enough for Paul, it was enough for Luther, it is enough for us today. 

This sermon is by Chris Miller, pastor of Trinity Grace Church, our sending church, that he preached on the occasion of our Particularization we celebrated on October 25, 2020.

This is part 2 of our distinctive of Loving Deeply; loving God through worship.  This is a fantastic sermon given by our Ministry Intern, Aaron Raines.  

Legalistically judging and arrogantly demeaning one another in regard to Christian liberty and our freedom in Christ, are both out of bounds. 

We’re calling the series Distinctives, not because we believe we are or because we are trying to be a unique, one-of-a-kind church, but because we believe there are a few things that distinguish us from many of the other churches in our area; things that communicate who we are and even why we do what we do that differ from those around us.

Jude's original goal was to expound upon what it meant to be called, loved, and kept.  But, he had to change course.  He felt that it was necessary to make an appeal to them to contend for the foundational truths of the Gospel.
