Jude 17-25 / Rechab Gray

Guest preacher Rechab Gray preaches a message of encouragement and hope through the back half of the book of Jude. God’s love is a strong foundation that will never let us down, and when we place our hope in Jesus, we can rest assured that the Man who defeated death will present us to the Father who loves us perfectly and infinitely.

Psalm 19:1-2, 2 Cor 3:18, Hebrews 1:1-4 / Dustin Ratcliff

Dustin explores a few passages regarding the fourth pillar of Iron City Church: the Glory of God. As Christians, we should live for God’s glory throughout our whole lives: in the times of organized ministry, in times of Bible study and prayer, and in the ordinary motions of going about our lives.

Jeremiah 29:4-7 / Kam Pugh

As God has placed our church in the Southside of Birmingham, Alabama, we seek to specifically engage our city, being a blessing to those in our communities, and spreading the love of the Gospel throughout the city. Kam reminds us of the importance of this and gives examples of some practical ways for us to serve our city.

Kam Pugh

In preaching the second pillar of Iron City Church’s core values, Kam reads from a variety of passages found throughout the Bible as he emphasizes the need for Christians and churches to be places of diversity. Especially in Birmingham, a city marked by physical division of races and economic classes, the Church of Jesus should oppose this unholy standard and pursue Godly diversity.

John 17:20-23 / Kam Pugh

Unity is the first of Iron City Church’s four pillars, the first of the core values that we seek to embody as a church. Kam reviews and reminds us why Unity is so important to us as a church: because it is so important to God. Jesus prayed for Unity for his disciples, even as He is unified with His Father.

Isaiah 50:10-11, Luke 2:41-52 / Scott Cuidon

A sermon to close the year of 2020, Scott shares some of his testimony and encourages us to wait on the Lord even when He seems absent. The Lord is faithful to work in His children and and we should always be aware and on the lookout for His work in our lives.
