Sermon Of The Week

The Apostles' Creed, Part 8 - The creed reminds us that a good Judge is coming who will take account of our actions. How important are good works in the life of a Christian who is saved by faith?

The Apostles' Creed, Part 7 - Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father, serving as our mediator. What sort of effect should the Ascension have upon our purposes and behaviors?

The Apostles' Creed, Part 6 - "He descended into hell" is a much debated portion of the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean and what is its Biblical support?

The Apostles' Creed, Part 4 - The creeds instruct the Church in truth about the life of Christ, beginning with His conception. Why was Christ incarnated? Why is the Virgin Birth a core tenet of the Christian faith?

The Apostles' Creed, Part 3 - The second phrase of the Apostles' Creed declares the identity of Jesus as revealed in each of His names or descriptors - Christ, Son of God, Our Lord. The last title of "Lord" is of particular importance for understanding salvation. Why is it necessary for Jesus to be both Savior and Lord?

Christ in the Old Testament, Part 10 - Moses strikes a rock and it pours forth water to quench the thirst and the grumblings of the Israelites. Listen as we look through this story towards Christ the Rock, from whom comes living water.
