How do Christians Grow in Christ? 

How do we grow in Christ? Once we are saved by grace are we then sanctified by our works? Do we now have to maintain our status in God's covenant by our own striving? In this episode Collin and I discuss our recent sermons and what we learned while studying this doctrine. 

JT Stead and Collin Jones Talk further about the most beautiful doctrine of Grace...Adoption. We hope and pray this is edifying to you as we share some of our discoveries that didn't make the sermons. 

Intern Collin Jones delivered this message out of Galatians 4:1-7 to our dear middle school students. Adoption is the most beautiful doctrine to know and understand as it further demonstrates God's amazing grace in saving sinners. 

If Justification is the heart of the Gospel then Adoption is the crown jewel. It is the sweetest doctrine to taste and a comfort for the weary soul. In this Sermon Pastor JT attempts to draw out all the beautiful facets of the diamond of adoption into God's family. 

In this episode Pastor JT sits down with Collin Jones to talk further about the doctrine of Justification by Faith alone and all of its implications for Christians today. 

How is it that I a guilty sinner can be accepted and forgiven by a Just and Holy God? This question strikes at the heart of the gospel and the answer is the most important truth any Christian can know and believe. In this Sermon Collin Jones seeks to answer this question. 

This sermon was preached by Scott Kalcharno to our Middle School Students on the nature of true conversion. 

Every one is searching for change but they can't seem to find it. Christians for centuries have confessed that true change is wrought by the Holy Spirit who enables us to respond to the gospel. This human, real, experiential response is what is called Conversion - The human response to the gospel that consists of Repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ. There is no such thing as a Christian who has not been converted. So have you experienced the change of Conversion? 

This sermon was preached to high school students. There have been primarily three views of salvation throughout time: 1) Salvation by works 2) Salvation by works + God/grace  (synergistic)  3) Salvation by Grace alone (monergistic). In this sermon JT breaks down these three major views and shows how John 3 proves the 3rd view.
