This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

This sermon examines 1 Peter 4, urging believers to adopt the mindset of Christ who suffered in the flesh, thereby ceasing from sin and living for God's will rather than human passions. The text highlights the urgency of the gospel in the face of impending judgment, emphasizing that salvation comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ and not through human merit or works. Believers are called to be self-controlled, sober-minded in prayer, and to demonstrate earnest love and hospitality to one another, serving as stewards of God's grace. The message concludes with an exhortation to trust in God as a faithful Creator during times of suffering, recognizing that such trials are part of the divine process and that ultimate glory belongs to Jesus Christ alone.

Christians are called to receive, defend, live, and pass on the faith once for all delivered to the saints.

Semper Reformanda: Always reforming. While our doctrine is settled we are not, personally or corporately.

We study where God sent Phillip to The Ethiopian Eunuch to instruct him in the things of God with the Spirit convicting him birthing him into the body of Christ, thus the statement what hinders him from being Phillip since he believed Phillip concerning Jesus, The Gospel and the Doctrine (instructions of the word), since God opened his understanding to understand what he had read.

This podcast traces the historical lineage of the Protestant Reformation, moving from Martin Luther's discovery of justification by faith in Wittenberg to Ulrich Zwingli's emphasis on Scripture in Zurich, and finally to the Anabaptist movement that recovered believers' baptism and the autonomous local church. The narrative highlights the theological shift from grace as a substance to be earned to grace as a gift received through faith alone, grounded in Habakkuk 2:4 and Romans 3. It acknowledges the tragic persecution of early Anabaptists by both Catholic and Reformed authorities, illustrating that the church's survival depends on God's faithfulness rather than the moral perfection of its leaders. The central message affirms that the gospel reached modern Baptists through a chain of flawed men who remained faithful to the Word, encouraging listeners to trust in God's sustaining power despite human failure.

Our faith impacts and informs all areas of our life, there is no neutrality.
