Kings Cross Church in Las Vegas NV focused on the Reformed doctrine of faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ gives the elect of God full assurance that God is faithful!
The primary purpose of Jesus' earthly ministry was to preach the gospel. This ministry was laid upon a foundation of prayer with His heavenly Father.
Christ heals Peter's mother in-law and the crowd of sick and oppressed people, which point towards the cross and resurrection.
Through our Lord's teaching in the synagogue, and His casting-out of a demon, the authoritative power of Jesus Christ is made manifest.
The effectual call of Christ to follow him requires an immediate response to leave all!
In fulfilling what the first Adam could not, and overcoming with Israel could not in the wilderness, Jesus walked in perfect obedience.
The sinless Son of God wades into the waters of the Jordan to undergoing a baptism that identifies Him with those He came to save.
Mark's Gospel opens with a prologue and emphasis on the promised messenger who prepares the way.
In the life of the Christ-follower, worry is incompatible with faith. (Life in a fallen world is full of many hardships and trials.) Instead of worry, we are to submit these differences to the Lord, with a posture of gratitude, trusting that His good and sovereign purposes are being realized. Then, and only then, we will know peace in every circumstance.
Believers can ask with confidence because we know God will hear and answer our prayers.
As Christ followers, we are to be persistent in prayer, trusting that God will give according to our every need, and according to His every promise, that we may walk in faithfulness.
Our Christmas narrative reveals that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, born of the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Spirit, and Savior of the world.
The events surrounding John's birth signal the Messiah's coming, the promised redemption, and the forgiveness of sins.
Reflecting on God's faithfulness provoked Mary to worship the Lord with a hymn of praise.
Following 400 years of silence, God sent a messenger to declare to a young virgin girl that she would bear the hope of the world.
Paul's closing remarks include his desires to encourage the church by his ministry struggle, we witness the collection of those who assisted him in ministry, and realize the church under the Word.
Paul instructs us to behave wisely before outsiders, having speech that is salty and gracious, with a readiness to give an answer to those who ask.
The Christian has been exhorted to pray steadfastly, focused on others, and for God to advance the Gospel through prayer.
Out of reverence for and with focus on the Christ, christians are to serve well those in authority.
Believers who are new creatures in Christ, are called to operate within the home according to God's design.
In putting on the new self, Christ-followers are to reflect the nature and character of our lord to the body of Christ. We do this through letting peace rule amongst us and the Word dwell. All of this is to manifest in hearts and mouths of gratitude.
Being focused on Christ in heaven leads to a life of laying aside and mortifying sin and putting on the new self.
Christ followers are a new creation and cannot live according to who they once were. Therefore, in acknowledging the lordship of Jesus Christ and the hope of our future glory, we are to set our minds on the things of God.
Because we died with Christ and have been made alive, refuse to submit to the elemental spirits.
Religious practices, which find their purpose in earning right standing before God, have no place in the gospel of Jesus Christ. As christians, we need only to hold fast to our Head, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the temple of God and the head of all things. We, the people of God, must be on guard not to be taken captive by empty and deceitful teachings of man that are antithetical to the gospel that is Jesus Christ.
We, the people of God, are called to contend for the faith for and with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Maturity begins with union with Christ, nurtured through the preaching of Christ, with the goal of conformity to Christ.
This week King's Cross Church had the pleasure of hearing David Deutsch, pastor of our sending church (Soli Deo Gloria Church), teach us the Word of God focusing on Colossians 1:24-27
Jesus Christ, who is both creator and the goal of creation, makes known the living God. He surpasses all things, is superior to all things, and is the sustainer of all things.
Christ followers are to grow in their knowledge of God which will manifest in lives that are worthy of the gospel they have received.
The title of this message is Gospel Thankfulness. In Colossians 1:3-8, we will discover three things about this passage. First, authentic Christians display the marks of faith, hope, and love. Second, the gospel is increasing in the world and it is producing fruit. Finally, the Gospel is delivered by faithful ministers. In this passage, Paul is thankful that God produced authentic Christians through the preaching of the Gospel, which was delivered by the faithful men. This was accomplished through God’s grace.
