Pastor Cass Shell

What took place the moment you realized you were a sinner and trusted in what Christ did for you on the cross by dying for your sins.  Grace is what we do not deserve.  We are placed in Christ and have access to His grace.

The mystery is Christ in you.  Being placed into Christ is identifying with his death and resurrection.  Which means that we are dead to our old self and alive to a new life - Christ in and through us.

Cass explains the adoption and what it means to be Son Placed.  He shows examples in scripture of what it is and how it should affect our lives.  He talks about the process of being adopted and discusses election, foreknowledge and predestination.  He shows how God has chosen us to a position, not to salvation according to His foreknowledge.

Pastor Cass shows that Communion was God's plan all the way from the beginning.  He shows throughout scripture how the bread represents the promises and the wine the judgment.

What takes place when someone understands the gospel and believes?

As believers, we have been placed in Christ.  Cass explains what that means.

We are to persuade men to trust what Christ has done for us rather than trying to persuade God that He should accept us because of what we have done.

Pastor Cass embarks on a series called Understanding the Gospel.  He begins with faith.  Understanding the importance, definition and object of our faith as it relates to our salvation.
