    Romans 9:10-16 “Unconditional Election”

    Sermon Title: Unconditional Election Sermon Text: Romans 9:10-16   Rom. 9:10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, Rom. 9:11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— Rom. 9:12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” Rom. 9:13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Rom. 9:14 ¶ What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God’s part? By no means! Rom. 9:15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” Rom. 9:16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.   Main Point: Salvation depends ultimately on God's free mercy, not on human merit or will, so that all glory belongs to Him. Outline: Election in Scripture An Offensive Doctrine God’s Free Mercy

    Sunday School: “Fellowship”

    In this Sunday School lesson, Pastor Alan Carter introduces listeners to the biblical concept of fellowship, which is far more than simply hanging out with other Christians. Instead, it speaks to a deep connection and relationship that all believers know because of their union with the risen Christ.

    Sunday School: “Grace” and “Mercy”

    What is the real difference between God’s mercy and His grace? In this Sunday School lesson, Pastor Adam Parker unpacks how mercy withholds the judgment we rightly deserve, while grace lavishes us with unmerited favor, adoption, and life in Christ. Exploring passages across Ephesians, Lamentations, and Titus, the class examines why resting in sovereign grace often cuts against our instinct for self-reliance. Listen in to consider how receiving God’s forgiveness vertically frees and equips us to extend that same grace horizontally to others.

    Acts 6:1-7 “Divine Calling & the Congregational Vote”

    How does Jesus Christ govern and care for His local church? Preaching from Acts 6:1–7, Pastor Adam Parker unpacks the vital, often-overlooked biblical pattern of congregational consent and officer ordination. Rather than operating like a detached hierarchy or a secular business, the New Testament church thrives when members actively discern God’s calling, nominate qualified leaders, and confirm them through their vote. Listen in to discover how participating in church leadership selection is not a mere administrative task, but a sacred act of worship through which Christ strengthens and equips His flock.   Sermon Title: Divine Calling & the Congregational Vote Sermon Text: Acts 6:1-7   Acts 6:1 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. Acts 6:2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, “It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. Acts 6:3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. Acts 6:4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. Acts 6:6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. Acts 6:7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.   Main Point: Christ governs and strengthens His church by calling qualified leaders, confirming them through the free consent of the congregation, and equipping them through the grace of ordination.

    Colossians 1:2a “How Should Christians Think of Themselves?” (Alan Carter)

    How should Christians truly think of themselves? In this message on Colossians 1:2, we are challenged to stop defining our identity merely by our struggles with sin and instead embrace how Scripture actually addresses us. Drawing from Paul’s greeting to the church at Colossae, Rev. Alan Carter explores what it means to be positional "saints," faithful brothers and sisters, and profoundly united to Jesus Christ. Listen in to discover how resting in the identity God freely gives can transform our daily walk and reshape how we see ourselves in Christ.

    1 Timothy 3:1-13 “Elders and Deacons”

    Main Point: God grounds the health of His church in qualified, servant-hearted men who prioritize the noble work of shepherding and serving over the desire for title or status. Outline: Elders (3:1-7) Deacons (3:8-13)   Elders 1Tim. 3:1 The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 1Tim. 3:2 Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 1Tim. 3:3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 1Tim. 3:4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 1Tim. 3:5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? 1Tim. 3:6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 1Tim. 3:7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.   Deacons 1Tim. 3:8 Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. 1Tim. 3:9 They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. 1Tim. 3:10 And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless. 1Tim. 3:11 Their wives likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, but sober-minded, faithful in all things. 1Tim. 3:12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 1Tim. 3:13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

    Sunday School: God

    In the second part of our Sunday School series on Christianese 101, we continue to focus on words that Christians use, often without fully understanding what they mean by them. In today's study, Ruling Elder Micah Meeuwsen leads a discussion of what we mean when we speak of "God."

    Sunday School: Holiness

    What do we mean when we talk about "Holiness"? This is something Christians often talk about without understanding or being able to explain what they mean, which is why it is the first lesson in our new Adult Sunday School series "Christianese 101." This series is focused on those words and ideas that Christians may often talk about without have a clear idea what they mean by it.
