Lord's Day: Nov 17, 2024  Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: God Uses Luther's Flawed Pen... Topic: Reformation Scripture: Mark 1:14–15, Romans 1:16–17

Now after John had been delivered up into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14–15

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:16–17

Lord's Day: Nov 3, 2024  Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: The Protestant Reformation Topic: Reformation Scripture: Galatians 2:14–16

But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before everyone, “If you, being a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, how is it that you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews? “We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles; nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. Galatians 2:14–16

Day: Oct 28, 2024  Preacher: Carlos Montijo Series: Evangelism Topic: Roman Catholicism Scripture: Romans 1:16, Isaiah 53:10, Hebrews 10:10–14, 1 Corinthians 15:1–11

Open air bilingual preaching and gospel protesting at a local Roman Catholic church that was celebrating the feast day of St. Jude. Many were listening intently. Someone had called the police on me again like the previous year. When the police showed up they assumed I was being rioutous, but when they soon realized that I was just preaching and exercising my 1st amendment right of free speech, they eventually left. Also had good gospel conversations with some of the people who had attended.
