Do you know what the gospel is and what it isn't? Or do you just know pieces of it? The Apostle Paul warned the Galatians that there is no other gospel; that there's only one. He even went as far as to say that if an angel came down from heaven with a different gospel he should be accursed! So, it's pretty important that we know the true gospel, don't you think? That's what this series seeks to do -- help you understand the one gospel that Galatians 1 talks about. In Week 5, Pastor Jake talks more about the second response of God to the belittlement of His name and the stealing of His glory by mankind. The first was hell. The second is not heaven. The second response of God is the wrath-absorbing cross of Christ. But the Scriptures don't stop with Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. Something else occurred that changed everything -- the Resurrection. It's in the resurrection that we find our justification (right standing) before God.

The second response of God is the wrath-absorbing cross of Christ. The Scriptures present so many words breathe depth and understanding into what happened at the cross -- Ransom, Sacrifice, Atonement, Bought with a Price, Offering, and more. Let's dive into those to better grasp the beauty of the cross of Christ! [This message was preached by Pastor Jake Mills at Green Bay First on April 17, 2016]

In Part 2, Pastor Jake talks about the first response of God to the belittlement of His name and the stealing of His glory by mankind: Hell. What is Hell? What should our reaction be to the Biblical Doctrine of Hell? Is it a sufficient response to our dishonor of the God of the universe? Is it fair?

In Part 1, Pastor Jake talks about the size and scope of God by teaching through Romans 11:33-36. Without an understanding of who God is and who we are in light of that, there can be no understanding of the gospel.

This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. Everyone is looking for the "one thing" that they need to do to find life, peace, and fulfillment. At the end of Luke 10, Jesus goes to Mary and Martha's house. Martha gets busy serving, but Mary sits at Jesus' feet to listen to Him. Jesus praises Mary by saying she did the "one thing" that was necessary. In Luke 18, Jesus tells the rich young ruler that he lacks just "one thing". In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul says that he does just "one thing". In Revelation 2, Jesus tells the church of Ephesus that they're missing just "one thing". So...what is this one thing?

This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 10, a lawyer stands up and asks Jesus a question most of us have asked before - "how do I inherit eternal life?" Jesus answers by challenging us to make sure what we believe is connected to the life we live. Because in the end, it's your love for people that validates or invalidates your claims of knowing and loving God. [This message was given by Pastor Jake Mills at Green Bay First on March 13, 2016]

This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. "Show me the biggest jerk you know, and I'll show you the person who's hurting the most." They're the same person. Because our behaviors come from somewhere, don't they? And many times the most self-righteous people are actually the most self-loathing on the inside. But both extremes - self-righteous or self-loathing - completely misunderstand the gospel. So, whether you're at one end or the other (or somewhere in between), we pray God will bless you as you listen to this message on Luke 10.

This series is a verse-by-verse expository series on the Gospel of Luke. In this message, we walk through Luke 9:28-43. What is the "glory of God"? Pastor Jake talks about the glory of God ABOVE and BELOW. God is not just the Creator and Sustainer of all that is. He's not just involved in the forming of stars, the positioning of planets around the sun, and the governing of the wind and waves. He's also involved in our daily lives - transforming us, leading us, healing us, making us whole. This is God's glory! May God bless you as you listen.
