One from the Old Testament, another from the New and one that is to come--Today we started in the Old Testament and looked at true Reformation in the Church,

This Sunday, Pastor Wesley starts a new Sermon Series - The Resurrected Life. Today, Pastor Wesley focuses on one of the fundamental beliefs of Reformed Theology, that Saving Grace is from GOD alone.

Often times, people ask, what was GOD's purpose in bringing the Son to the world-- What was the purpose of His Crucifixion-- Why was He raised from the dead-- On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Wesley explores why Jesus had to die on the cross, and what His Resurrection means to us.

Each day we are called to the Lord to confess our sins, and take comfort in His forgiveness through His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

In today's world, we can get information from any source, anytime and anywhere.

Who is Abraham's offspring-- Join us as Pastor Wesley continues in his series and looks at Paul's letter to the Galatians, specifically chapter 3 verses 15-18.

Is GOD only found in the Temple-- In today's sermon, the 5th in the series, Pastor Wesley guides us through First Corinthians chapter 3. The new residence of GOD is in His Church, through the work of the Holy Spirit, in His people.
Throughout history, man has sinned against GOD. Man's punishment for this sin should be eternal damnation. However, as we see in John chapter 3, GOD did not send His son Jesus to judge or condemn us, but to those who believe in Him, He came in Love. He was sent to save us, the world. This belief is not simply believing He existed, but rather belief in His Word and His works.-Solo Christo - Through Christ alone
