    Alex Kremer 7-27-2025 | The Right Tool for the Job: What God's Law Can and Cannot Do

    Can you use a wrench to hammer a nail? Technically yes, but you'll damage both the tool and the job. The same principle applies to God's law—misusing it leads to spiritual disaster, but understanding its proper function brings freedom and transformation. This sermon tackles one of Christianity's most misunderstood topics: the relationship between law and grace. Discover why the law cannot justify you, break sin's power, or save you—and why trying to use it that way is spiritually dangerous. More importantly, learn the three powerful functions the law was actually designed for: revealing God's holiness and your need for a Savior, guiding your sanctification, and restraining evil. Whether you've struggled with legalism, felt confused about Old Testament commands, or wondered how to live a godly life without falling into works-based righteousness, this message provides biblical clarity and practical application for walking in true Christian freedom.

    Grant Nelson 7-20-2025 | The Tale of Eight Churches: What Would Jesus Say to Yours?

    If Jesus walked into your church today, what would He say? Grant Nelson examines the seven churches of Revelation chapters 1-3, where Jesus delivers pointed messages—both commendation and correction—to each congregation. From Ephesus losing their first love to Laodicea's lukewarm faith, these ancient churches mirror struggles we face today. You'll discover: The specific warnings Jesus gave about immorality, false teaching, and spiritual complacency Why "holding fast" to your faith is harder than you think in today's world How to avoid becoming a stumbling block to weaker believers Practical ways to move from lukewarm to passionate Christianity But this isn't just about seven ancient churches. Grant challenges Atlantic Gospel Chapel (and every church) to ask: What would Jesus say about us? Are we sharing the gospel boldly? Have we lost our enthusiasm for Christ? Are we tolerating sin we should confront? This message will convict, encourage, and equip you to live with the urgency and joy Jesus desires.

    Alex Kremer 7-13-2025 | When Good Christians Misuse God's Law: Legalism and Antinomianism Exposed

    Can you keep God's law without becoming a legalist? Or ignore it without becoming lawless? Alex Kremer tackles one of Christianity's most misunderstood topics: how to use God's law the way He intended. Drawing from 1 Timothy 1:8 and confronting the Pharisees' mistakes in Matthew 15, this sermon exposes the dangerous extremes Christians fall into—legalism (trying to earn salvation through rule-keeping) and antinomianism (dismissing God's moral standards entirely). You'll discover: Why trusting in your own obedience is just as deadly as ignoring God's commands The difference between biblical conviction and man-made rules that Jesus condemned How to apply Old Testament law in the New Testament age without falling into either ditch Practical wisdom for living righteously without becoming self-righteous If you've ever felt confused about Christian freedom, this message will give you biblical clarity on walking in both grace and obedience.

    Doug Schorle 7-6-2025 | Created with Purpose: God's Design from the Beginning

    What does it mean to be made in God’s image—and why does it matter today? In this thought-provoking message from Doug Schorle, we return to the beginning: Genesis 1:26-2:9 and 2:15-25. These foundational verses unveil humanity’s divine identity, purpose, and calling. Doug explores how God intentionally designed both man and woman to reflect His image—placing them in the garden not just to live, but to represent Him, steward His creation, and walk in fellowship with Him. You'll be challenged to consider the dignity, responsibility, and hope embedded in being God's image-bearer. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of identity, gender, work, or what it truly means to live a meaningful life, this message anchors those questions in Scripture’s unchanging truth. Discover how God’s original design still speaks powerfully into today’s culture—and how we can live it out.

    Alex Kremer 6-29-2025 | God Isn’t Silent: The Word Still Speaks

    What happens when those who should know better fall short of God’s standard? In this powerful message, Alex Kremer explores the sobering reality that judgment doesn’t begin with “them”—it begins with us. Drawing from the prophets and other Scripture, this sermon underscores the critical responsibility of God's people to uphold His Word, live by His truth, and reject spiritual complacency. Alex unpacks how God confronts not just the sins of the world, but the compromises of His own people—leaders and laymen alike. This isn’t just a message of warning; it’s one of clarity, hope, and restoration. You'll be challenged to examine your walk, recommit to biblical authority, and renew your heart toward Christ. If you’ve ever wondered how the Church today mirrors the people of Israel in the Old Testament, or how revival begins with repentance, this sermon is for you.

    Ned Brown 6-22-2025 | Chosen to Bear Fruit: What John 15 Really Means for Christians

    Knock, knock—who’s there? It’s not a joke this time. In John 15, Jesus invites us into something far more meaningful than a punchline: a life of abiding in Him. But what does it actually mean to “abide”? And what happens if we don’t? In this powerful and deeply reflective sermon, Ned Brown walks through John 15:1-17 and wrestles with questions many believers are afraid to ask: Can a Christian be fruitless? What’s at stake if we are? Does abiding affect God’s love for us? With honesty, personal testimony, and biblical insight, this message reveals why our connection to the True Vine is about more than salvation—it’s about how we live, love, and glorify God every day. If you’ve felt dry in your faith or unsure about your spiritual fruit, this message will challenge and encourage you to stay connected and bear lasting fruit—for your joy and His glory.

    Alex Kremer 6-15-2025 | Shame Will Not Have the Final Say

    Can mercy really overcome guilt? Micah 7:7-20 offers a stunning conclusion to a book full of warnings and judgment—not with despair, but with hope. In this message, Alex Kremer unpacks the prophet Micah’s final words, showing how they point to a God who doesn’t just punish sin but delights to show mercy. We see a shift from lament to confidence, from guilt to restoration, and from human failure to divine faithfulness. If you’ve ever felt stuck in sin, ashamed, or unsure of God’s love, this message is for you. Discover the kind of God who pardons iniquity, who casts our sins into the depths of the sea, and who keeps covenant love forever. Come face-to-face with the God who gives hope not just to Israel—but to you.

    Grant Nelson 6-8-2025 | Faith in the Midst of Suffering: A Better Resurrection

    What would make you willingly suffer loss, ridicule, or even death? In this powerful message, Grant Nelson walks us through the heart-wrenching yet hope-filled truths from Hebrews 11, Romans 5, and 1 Corinthians 15, centering on the paradox of Christian suffering. From ancient martyrs to present-day believers, followers of Christ have endured hardship—not because suffering is enjoyable, but because the hope of resurrection is real. This sermon challenges listeners to evaluate what they're living for—and what they're willing to endure for something greater than this life. You’ll walk away encouraged to stand firm, even when faith costs you something. If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, doubt, or endurance in the Christian life, this sermon offers clarity, conviction, and hope.
