The Evangelistic God

In the concluding verses of Romans 10, the Apostle Paul helps us see that the Christian’s evangelistic motivation and effort must be fueled by belief in the evangelistic heart of God. While Romans 9 taught us that God is sovereign over salvation, Romans 10 rounds this this out by reminding us that God desires all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.

A New Identity

We live in a time when many people are having a crisis of identity. This is because our culture believes that identity is either something we create or something we derive from our roles. The Bible says the opposite: identity is something we receive from God, and it is only after we receive a new identity in Christ that we can truly understand the role that God wants us to have in this world. Listen as Pastor Josh preaches on the Christian’s new identity on this Baptism Sunday.
